The Boys is one of the best superhero shows. Period. Fans of both the genre and good shows need to check this one out. It's hilarious, packed with great SFX & VFX, and doesn't shy away from creating complex characters. Not everyone is the Devil nor is everyone a saint.
I usually don't watch trailers, but I just had to get a preview of this, and I wasn't let down. Well worth having Amazon Prime. The only thing I missed is more cynicism & brutality as well as jackass anti-heroes (yes, even more than what we already got), but the whole concept was executed marvelously. Can't wait for Season 2.

My review was approved at first by IMDb, but then the next day they silently removed it without any notification! This NEVER happened to me or friends of mine before, so this movie must get a lot of bad reviews that they try to limit, I guess! Well here it is again, assuming IMDb "made a mistake" (which in this case is hard to imagine). To IMDb: If you do not place this review, that please re-instate the old approved one, thanks!
Mr. Affleck does his normal wooden acting, earns some millions, gets the awards they promised him, gets his head on the poster and DVD packaging etc for vanity reasons. And the rest of the team never thought about anything but the money they would earn from making this film, not about the effects of it.
Some effects:
Canadians hate that the escape looks like an American CIA operation, just Google: "Canadian Caper" and find the real info on Wikipedia. This film says it is based on a true story, but that is hardly the case.
Iranians hate that they are portrayed as stupid/bad guys, when they brought forth numerous arts, artists, and renowned scientists, and their land is used as only a background for riots, while they are peace-loving people just like you and me and their land has great nature and landscapes. Also the Persian Empire is the oldest empire in the world that has brought more to humanity than you know, just Google Persian contributions to humanity, the list is very long and nowhere near complete.
Everybody that is involved in making the world a better place will boycott these hate filled movies from Hollywood, especially with Ben Affleck and the producers of this film involved, but not exclusively.
Best tip: grab a camera yourself and make your own film that shows us the truth, instead of these Hollywood lies.
A lot of people have done this, and by now most people know that we all are ruled by non-tax paying corporations with puppet politicians on a leash. That is what globalization is about. For these people and organizations, you are only good for providing cheap workforce, paying taxes and spending your money, oh and to keep your mouth shut and belief their propaganda.
One day this whole system will collapse, cause hate and greed will only lead to more hate and greed.

Once again nothing short of being absolutely amazing. I watched the first and this one back to back. Thank you STArZ! Tom Hardy is such a charm. I believe casting Woody H. As Cletus was the greatest decision Hollywood has ever made alongside casting Hardy as Eddie/Venom. They both deliver and I thought the combination of the two and their dynamics on the screen together worked perfectly. They both were able to tap into what makes their character unique and were able to bring them to life.(no pun intended lol). I'm very happy with the diversity of the film in casting and character. I like how it was filmed being different than the regular ol superhero smash hit wonder. It's a film with a antihero who struggles with the duality of the gift that has been given to him. I would love and very much enjoy seeing a third installment to see where these characters can go. In all I thought the movie to be fun and funny. The comedy for what it was is good. I got quite a chuckle especially since I struggle with voices in my head from time to time. I think they captured the true essence of the struggle within oneself. Very impressed with the results. Great job, Hollywood! You've got my attention to where I started watching movies again. Thank you to the whole team that brought these movies to life. I tip my hat to you! -Josh.

As I fan of dark comedy, season 1 got me really hooked.
Season 2 they over done it and felt quite boring.
The story was great for just one season.
You'll only understand the humor if you like dark comedies. This is not a hype from now, these type of comedies have been there for years, only they are rare kind.

All the aspects of the movie are very well done: Photography, directing, acting, the plot,... However, the theme of the movie is not interesting enough so it remains irrelevant

I have always been a great fan of Spider-Man, even before the first movie in 2002. But now I have to say that I am the proudest member of the Spider-Man Fan Club. That's all thanks to this movie. This is the best movie ever. YES!!! BEST MOVIE EVER!!!! Well, the plot of this movie is simple but very intriguing. It's all about how Peter Parker has been living two lives since he became Spider-Man after being bit by a genetically enhanced spider. His responsibility was to use his powers for the good of man kind. After being lectured by his uncle Ben saying "With great power comes great responsibility, he went off and disobeyed him. The consequence of his action haunted him for a while since it was the cause of his uncle's death. He learned from his mistake and made a promise to him that he'll make him proud.
Now, after 2 years, life has never been harder. Trying to keep up with his studies at New York University, protecting the city from chaos, keeping that promise, and holding on to the love of his life, Mary Jane, he begins to give up. Saying that he is "Spider-Man, No More," he decides to take only the life of Peter Parker and tries to win back MJ before she gets married.
Unfortunately, the hero of Manhattan is needed after a mad scientist, Doc Ock, tries to recreated a devastating machine that can destroy at least half the city. Now, with Mary Jane captured, and his friend Harry turning his back on him and exploding himself to the fact that Spider-Man is indeed his best friend and he was responsible for his father's death, Spider-Man returns to wear the mask and still manages to keep all his priorities straight. At least that's what we know until Spider-Man 3, where he will be faced with even more challenges.

interstellar was yet another over hyped hollywoodized movie. 10/10 visuals and an ost that sucks you in. But the rest was pseudo intellectual bullshit designed to seem deep if you're on drugs or unversed in the sciences of what it actually talks about. Those with knowledge in string theory, other dimensions or who have an intelligence even slightly above average who don't get trapped by Hollywood and consumerism would likely agree it sucks. I can in all Ernest rate that movie a 3/10 with only the last 20 minutes of that 3 hour movie being evenly slightly worth watching. it would get a 1/10 if the visuals weren't incredible and the acting decent. the supposed relationships between characters were awful, it was slow paced while simultaneously rushing the only 20 minutes that were slightly interesting despite being pseudo intellectual. And was all way to predictable minus the attempt to be deep in the last 20 minutes by trying to connect a 5th dimension to the story line and his daughters ghost in her room which was foreseeable the first second he saw her through the bookshelf weirdness. That was a waste of time. I want my 15$ back.

I very rarely comment, and of those few two were top comments. Coincidentally both in Marvel series, and out of nowhere they erase it. I do not insult, I do not yell, I did not disrespect ... but they still erase it.

The storyline was a bit bland and disjointed, with a lot going on but no substance. The acting was fairly good and the costumes were great. When looking into camera narration it was borderline creepy and was not so good. Loved the first half of the movie but when it comes to the Second half it started becoming boring. I was disappointed by the overall result.

I have no idea why, at the time of writing this, it has a score of 8,3? It is a really slow movie with no engaging factors at all. I have more fun watching the grass grow.
They could have told the story of Dunkirk with passion and portray the horror of the event, but it was so uncommited and mellow that it did not do justice to it.
Its like watching moving postcards trying to convey some sense of what was going on.
This was this years biggest failure. I am amazed how they could fail to make a good movie about Dunkirk!

I expected more from Fargo. Shortly said, the brothers wanted to be original, and ended up being too original. I gave it a 6 anyway, because it was yet interesting, in particular for dialogues and characters. There was an eerie atmosphere, too. But the balance between noir and comedy resulted in a tie, with no spectaculars... Of course a movie may have a complex order, but it always needs an order. Here we see scenes that don't have a direction, every one going its own way. It looks like a collection of random shots. As for humor, there are some hilarious lines, but I really mean 'some'.
I understand somebody may appreciate it more than me and give it a 7, but anything above is pure overrating.
In conclusion, if you've heard about Fargo and hope to find that particular humor in it, you'd better see 'The Big Lebowsky'.

Moreover, Stranger Things is masterful in their suspenseful moments, often leaving the viewers on the edge of their seats.
Overall, Stranger Things is a highly entertaining show that is able to keep its audience hooked from the first episode to the last.

Forrest Gump is a film that has a lot to live up to. Many people consider this one of their favorite films. Plenty of critics put it down as one the better films ever made. As someone picking it up for the first time over ten years after it was made, I was apprehensive of what to expect.
Yet, just like the character, the film Forrest Gump is never pretentious even from the very first minute. We meet Forrest sitting on a bench waiting for a bus to come. Someone sits down next to him, and Forrest begins to tell his life story. Simple, poignant, and ridiculously funny is this tale of a man who accidentally finds his way into every major event of his generation. Forrest changes the world in unimaginable ways, but all he really wants is Jenny, his childhood friend and the girl he's loved his entire life.
Yet this simplicity is where the movie's strength comes in. Everything is really very simple for a man whose IQ is no greater than 75. This simplicity deceives us into taking a whimsical tale for granted, and then surprises us with its incredibly moving final scenes. We don't quite realize how wrapped up in Forrest's world we are until we find ourselves in tears by the end. And when we leave Forrest's world, we miss him very much. We miss his easiness and simple way of living. 8/10 stars!

I went to the midnight show last night and was completely blown away !! I am 30 years old and had begun reading the Amazing Spider-Man back when I was 11 and leaving the theater last night, I felt like I was a kid again- I was amazed, I was in awe, I really felt... satisfied.
Every scene crackled. There was an energy, there was an effort put into every moment of the movie. No scene went on too long, no plot holes fell through. It was the comic, come alive.
Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire did a great job of making Peter Parker sympathetic, you feel for him, you wince with him, he is the boy, becoming a man, and you watch it, and you keep watching it.
Even as a long-time fan who knew where some of the story lines were going- with MJ, with Harry Osborne- to see HOW the movie chose to play out these stories, provided great surprises for me, I almost wished I didn't know... I can't wait to see the reactions of my friends who haven't followed the Spider-man comics, the twist of the story and the hints at what is to come...
A great movie. Great fun. Great story. Great action. A blockbuster movie. You leave the theater, definitely feeling like you got your money's worth !

This is beyond ludicrous. They started this with Game of Thrones and doubled down on ridiculously poorly lit scenes for this series. I'm giving it two stars because it's a decent show for the radio...perhaps that's the medium the directors would like to be working?
Maybe the number of complaints about the lighting will finally get through and they will do a better job on future seasons. I kind of doubt that though as they seemingly ignored the complaints about the final season of Game of Thrones.
I guess on the positive side they won't have to pay the actors much for future seasons as they could sub in new people and few would be able to notice a difference.
This is a show I was looking forward to...

I can only give the movie 2 stars, because Nolan forgets the most important character in the movie and thus distorts history. It is Lise Meitner who is the mother of the atomic bomb and not Oppenheimer. It's creepy how Nolan didn't even give her a small role in the movie. But Nolan has never been one for facts.
The story of Lise Meitner is simply incredible. Why is it that the often decisive scientific achievements of women are ignored. It is completely incomprehensible that, even after so many years, Lise Meitner still does not receive the recognition she deserves.
She is the forgotten main character in the film Oppenheimer.

The Godfather II(1974)an epic film. Al Pacino is a great, passionate, and jolly good fellow AKA GOOD DUDE no one better not deny. God bless AL!!!! The question is what did you learn? Don't nobody say nothing about the family. Al grew up on camera right before our eyes. Well maybe your eyes. I did not know anything about Mr. Pacino until 1986-1987. I was fortunate enough to be in his presence. That's on another note. It's not about me right now. It's about a film that brought pain, love, happiness, sorrow, greed, maybe a plate of pasta ,garlic bread, some eggplant, and understanding together. Oh! YEAH! Not to mention a glass of some good Port wine in moderation. Let's say Bin 27 or some Sangria....... Made Men know what I'm talking about and real women stand by your man. P.S. THIS FILM HAD TO HAPPEN...... GOD BLESS THE READER......

I had a great time watching this movie. I haven't laughed like that in front of the TV for ages. But...once it was over, it was over. In my opinion, it's really over-hyped - it's the story of Jeff (William H. Macy) who is in deep financial trouble...so he pays some small-time crooks (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife for part of a ransom he will extract from his wife's rich father. When the deed is done and the crooks are hauling Mrs. Jeff to their hideout, a cop stops them for not having the right tab on their car, and is shot. Uh-oh, two innocent bystanders noticed! Boom-boom, dead too. About four or five other people have gone to Jesus by the end, and the movie centers around Marge (Frances McDormand), the Fargo police chief trying to track down the killers. Her performance was actually pretty good as a sensitive woman who is intentionally oblivious, refusing to let the horrible things she must witness seep in and bring her down. Since Steve Buscemi is here too, you can predict the tone of the comedy, which is very dryly hilarious - the point of the movie is to contrast tragedy with comedy for a haunting and bittersweet ending. An interesting idea, but the tragedy wasn't tragic enough, it was disaffected in an odd way. Normally gruesome scenes are trivialized in a way that I don't like. It would have been very powerful had you just felt a bit more for the characters. As was, it was slightly off-kilter and I felt it left you with nothing. Great fun, however.

A semi-interesting cast can't save this poorly scripted movie. The dialogue is so rambling, un-funny, and pointless that I think it would have been better if the actors improvised. Adam Sandler toned down his normally obnoxious persona, but there's no chemistry between him and Jennifer Aniston so, again, he is miscast.
I gave it 6 stars because it was an interesting idea, but the execution was poor and the actors can only do so much.

This is a really great show, it's fun and exciting. The production quality is great and the banter is excellent. However, it's far too political. Kamal K's review on October 6, 2021 calls out a lot of the political issues in good detail, so I won't repeat them here. I'm not usually pedantic about story lines, but the political elements were distracting.
You can't open a web browser, check your email, turn on the TV, or scroll through social media without being bombarded with politics. It's literally everywhere, every day. People want and deserve a break, and the MCU is a great source for that. I don't need my MCU content to contain political messages that challenge the issues of our times. I get that from 100 other sources every day, I don't need to hear it from fictional superheroes. This country is drowning in politics every day, from both sides. Give us a break and just let us enjoy bold, exciting, and altruistic superheroes who do amazing things for the benefit of everyone.

My plan for this summer was to watch as many anime series as possible, and the few I had watched before 'Attack on Titan' had not lived up to my expectations; this made my standards for this anime extremely high. Yet I thoroughly enjoyed watching it! From the get-go I was already hooked on the storyline, and began to enjoy various different characters, their backstories, and the relationships between them. I typically sleep early yet I found myself watching episode after episode after episode. It was highly engaging and there was never a dull moment. I loved season one and two and can't wait for season three. I highly recommend this anime.

One of the best patriotic film. It's based on true events. This movie tails about the biggest retaliation against the terrorists. The film is technically very well made. Screenplay, direction, carecter development, action seens, vfx, music and everything is excellent. The star casting is perfect. Every actors done their role smartly.
Overall this is a must watch film. Salute to Indian Army and their bravery and sacrifice.

I write reviews to help others who may want to watch a movie but are unsure if it's worthy. So I will keep this simple: Bird Box is worthy of watching BUT the plot is a bit of a stretch. Sandra Bullock was good, not great. She also used too much make-up to try and make her look younger than her 54 years. The names of the 2 children were ridiculous and really no reason for it. For being blindfolded they certainly knew where they were going at all times, easily finding a convenient door to safety time and time again.

Initially, I was pretty exited for Venom. There was enormous potential here for a dark, unique and complex story, and I, like a lot of others, was interested to see how Sony would handle this new Spider-verse of theirs, despite the lack of an actual Spider-Man. My excitement began to deflate, however, when the film's rating came out. The choice to make this film PG-13 seemed odd, having seen the recent success of R-rated antihero movies such as Deadpool and Logan. Then, as the premiere date neared, the abysmal ratings began pouring out from the internet. The film stands at an atrocious 31% on Rotten Tomatoes and has a 33 Metascore, which disappointed me. Nevertheless, as a fan of the Venom character, I went and saw the film anyway, bracing myself to see a disaster.
Having seen Venom yesterday, I can say it in no way deserves the horrible score it got on Rotten Tomatoes. Sure, the movie has tons of problems, but there is a lot to enjoy here as well. It has it's moments, and is by far one of the most entertaining films I've seen this year.
First, the negative. The blaring problem here is the script. The plot is extremely cliché, and the awful dialogue made me want to leave the theater and bang my head against a wall. Some of the lines seemed as if they were written by a 10-year-old. I often found myself laughing out loud at the delivery of some of the dialogue. The script's handling of the characters was also very poorly done. Tom Hardy does an exceptional job, but his character of Eddie Brock and the characters around him are so poorly contrived. Nobody has any sort of character arc, and our main protagonist is written completely backwards. He begins the film as a cocky, arrogant, and awkward reporter, only to end the film the exact same way. Michelle Williams's character was maddeningly boring and her performance was dull. You felt no chemistry whatsoever between the two leads.
The villain is another glaring negative. While Riz Ahmed is a fantastic actor, his portrayal of Carlton Drake, the head of the sinister Life Foundation, felt extremely cliché and formulated. Drake is given almost zero motivation for his actions, and is not interesting in the slightest. He interacts very little with our main hero, then does ridiculous things towards the end that make little sense.
Now I'll head into the positives of the film. The bright spot of Venom is no doubt Tom Hardy's performance. He gives 110% to this role and goes way over the top. The dynamic between the Venom symbiote and Eddie Brock, and the back-and-forth exchange between these two is no doubt another highlight of the film. Despite my wanting them to go in a darker direction, the dialogue between the two lended for some pretty funny moments. The action scenes are pretty well done excluding the final fight between Eddie and Carlton Drake, which had too much going on and was often times hard to see what was happening.
Overall, the film is covered in problems but enjoyable nonetheless. Its damn entertaining once Venom makes his appearance. I'd recommend this movie as it doesn't deserve the terrible reviews critics have given it.

I'm been very much impressed by the films of Ashutosh Gowariker with his epics like Jodhaa Akbar and Lagaan, that it's a no brainer for me to continue seeking out his earlier films, especially so when they have been scored with music provided by A.R. Rahman. Swades: We, the People struck a common chord in some aspects of the story with Delhi-6, but only just, and I found it strangely compelling to dwell a little on some similarities between the two.
Well for starters both had an NRI (Non-Resident Indian, or jokingly mocked as Non- Returning Indian) returning from the United States, only to find themselves in a small town/village/district where the ways of their lives are a little backward, and the protagonist has to find time to get used to the slower pace, and life without its luxuries, even what we deem as basic like electricity. Email? Internet? Unheard of, naturally. There's also some time in both narratives dedicated to the well known story of the three way tussle in Lord Ram, Sita and Ravana, though the one in Swades benefited from Rahman's wonderful music enveloping the stage play, in more complete terms than that in Delhi-6 (also scored by Rahman by the way).
And when it's a blast to the past, some common themes that seem to find themselves a staple in a Gowariker film are the tackling of caste (Lagaan), as well as religion (Jodhaa Akbar), with the need to see the bigger picture and to overcome these issues and put aside differences for the greater good. Arranged marriages too have no place amongst women who are strong, independent and self-reliant, but I guess such tradition and customs are still quite commonplace and widely practiced, for movies from then until now still featuring such arrangements in the plot, as if to mirror some frowning of the deliberate, and sometimes forced practices of culture and tradition, just because.
LIke how Abhishek's character echoed in Delhi-6, "India works, the people make it work", it's like a wake up call to the community as seen in Swades too, that while there are niggling issues like corruption and the reliance of social crutches in tradition or culture, things really work when everyone rolls their sleeves and get down to doing things. In Swades, everyone complains about the lack of electricity and the frequent disruption, but it takes one guy to wake them up and show them the way to progress. Aamir Khan took on such a role in Lagaan, and in Swades, Shah Rukh Khan plays that equivalent in Mohan Bhargav, a project manager in USA's NASA who journeys back to India in search of his foster mother Kaveriamma (Kishori Balal) because he's feeling guilty of abandoning her.
Clocking in at just over 3 hours (which recent Gowariker film isn't?), it allows plenty of space for a number of themes to be explored. The narrative also took advantage of the run time to inject the staple romance and exploration of Mohan in his new environment, and the vast myriad of likable characters here also add to the film's endearing approach.
Running central in the story is Mohan's tussle with his lady love Gita (Gayatri Joshi, in her debut and only role to date?) for his foster mother who's now also the only family of the latter and her brother Chikku (Smith Seth). Mohan wants to bring Kaveriamma back to the US to enjoy the last stage of her life amongst luxuries, while Gita wants her to stay in India. Both have their selfish reasons, and needless to say, falling in love just complicates matters. If affairs of the heart is not your cup of tea, then Mohan's one man crusade to fight for what's correct, and galvanizing support at the grassroots and community level, do make it a little moving as he sees what everyone doesn't, or choose not to, unless you go on the ground like he did.
One of the more poignant scenes, which also provides the opportunity for Rahman's Yeh Tara Woh Tara theme song for Swades, takes place in a community outdoor screening. With the screen set up in the middle of the field, the upper caste folks get to sit on the right side, with benches too for VIPs, while the lower caste folks sit on the opposite side of the screen, and obviously the incorrect side, having to view the movie in its mirror image, separated and out of view from the higher caste. In one fell swoop, Mohan uses the downtime of electricity interruption to demolish the unhealthy practices through children, who are always colour/race/creed-blind, and through them, hopefully, educating the older generation on the spot, while bringing about reasonable change of mindsets amongst the new generation. This scene alone sticks, amongst many others thanks to Gowariker's strong story, and direction.
At its basic level, with Hindi movies travelling the world for its global audience, the film seeks to call out to the NRIs to remember their roots, and to make that contribution back to their homeland, given that while there are problems that might have contributed to push factors, with the success, knowledge, capabilities and resources now ploughed back, they would effect some change no matter how small, and progress will always be made with that single small step in the right direction. The film isn't as heavy as it might seem, and that's the beauty of it, working itself on many levels.
I've yet to be disappointed by a Gowariker film, and am going to continue seeking out even earlier films, while waiting with bated breath for his next.

Anytime anyone makes a movie based on a controversial social or historically important subject, it automatically gives it spot in awards or importance. Although the subject matter in this movie is/was incredibly important to revisit, as a movie I felt it wasn't "Best Movie" worthy. The story telling was overwhelmed by the brutal scenes and sometimes a death or brutal scenes can become a low blow to the crotch. Overall the movie was fragmented and the inclusion of Brad Pitt with his poorly done accent lowered the believability of the story. The best part of the movie was the AMAZING performance by Michael Fassbender as the plantation owner. Michael's performance carries the whole movie and was well worth watching for his spectacular performance. Personally I believe that the movie Gravity was a much better executed movie overall!

WTH was that?? I could barely hear anything Venom said. Not that it was worth hearing. Stupid infantile jokes for lowbrow viewers. The first one was entertaining; primarily because the symbiotic and Eddie were mostly at odds. Now there like a fighting married couple. Awful dumb dialogue. Perhaps the movie improves in the second half but we won't know till they put in on free cable because we walked out and got our money back. Fail.

I love the sam rami aspect of this movie, its got some horror and grotesque aspects that i love, but the cgi is probably the worst of the mcu, wandas feet in some scenes are obvious that she's wearing feet-shoes, the monsters look OK at best, the acting is ok, nothing spectacular, and wanda as a character just isn't special, i like some scenes but the movie as a whole is very mid for me. And its disappointing because the first doctor strange is my favorite mcu of all time, and its kinda sad how not-special this movie is. Sometimes it just feels like cameos of characters that we haven't seen before. "ooh look, theres peggy carter, i know her from that one comic!" i just dont care. Im personally a bigger dc fan and the recent mcu movies is why. Nothing but cgi and action without a deep and interesting story, its just surface-level action. Dc at least has character depth. Just go watch the batman, you'll have a better experience and its way better than this movie, not that this is terrible, the batman is just better.

Like others have said before..one of the best superhero shows.. this is as close to batman as marvel gets, a superhero that is also deeply human, conflicted, traumatized and flawed. I applaud all that and then some but I just have to give some "punisher" points because: really? the psychopath always has to listen to classical music? I'm soo allergic to this by now, hate Kubrick for starting this trend

I am not a huge fan of this show. This show use so many over the top moments and gory bloody events to overshadow the lacklustre storyline and almost zero development. Sure some characters die, and new villains pop up and sure there are some reveals, but overall, at its core and if you watch the first and last episode of season2 basically nothing has changed. The show do not progress. It is the same thing over, and over, and over again.
There are also several pretty bad actors, mainly the side-characters, that lower both the score and the overall quality.
With that said however this is still fun. This is entertaining and the show have a lot of cool and WTF moments, so I get why so many like it. This is not bad, not at all. And the show also highlight an interesting thought; what happens if a lot of sociopaths emerge as superheros and they are just as egocentric and fame-hungry as any NBC reporter? To be fair, most people developing superpowers would act like these "heroes" in this show. About this I am 100% sure. This is what and who people are. Sadly. Which is also what make the show kinda scary.
Although I enjoy watching this show I cannot forgive the lack of development and all the over the top violence and gore which serve no purpose other than hide the bad storyline. I give this show a 6/10. The first season is slightly better, almost a 7/10, while the second season is almost 5/10. I am not sure if I can recommend this. If you do not want to think, you only want hot people having sex, lots of blood and violence with little or no purpose and you want to live in the fantasy of superheroes gone nuts, then yea, sure, you can watch and enjoy this. But this is not for those who want intelligent TV.

There is science fiction, there is space opera, there is science fantasy, and there are superhero stories. The reader or the viewer needs to make a judgement about what kind of story they are in and dial the suspension of disbelief to a level that works. Is this 2001, or is this Star Wars? Once I know what kind of universe I am in I am cool and set my expectations accordingly. Interstellar tries to be at the science fiction end of the spectrum and fails miserably. It's like watching the 1960s TV show "Lost in Space" except that the protagonists are idiots this time. That is my major beef with this movie. A more minor issue is that rather than letting the camera tell the story, Chris Nolan subjects us to what seems like days of exposition which turns out to be meaningless science babble anyhow. The soundtrack is impressive only for its dynamic range. The film was shot and edited so that it only really works visually in IMAX. Good for 70mm film activism, but bad for Cinema. (The last film that touted 70mm as a selling point was "Far and Away". 'nuff said.) Aside from that, Matthew McConaughey does a great job as Cooper and Anne Hathaway is more than convincing as Brand. If you can get over your anger at the first two and a quarter hours, the last 35 minutes is actually pretty good and satisfying. There are a couple of very good ideas in this film and they come to the fore at the end. I am a huge fan of Christopher Nolan as a director. Other than "Batman Begins" and "Inception" all of his other films that I have seen are outstanding, and "Inception" is more than good. "Memento" is a masterpiece. This movie is Nolan's "Waterworld." BTW "Waterworld" wasn't nearly as bad as everyone seems to say.

One of the many beauties of the Harry Potter series is that while each movie has a stand alone plot and a conclusion of sorts (perhaps excluding 6 and 7.1), each is ultimately building to one centralized climax. With this film I felt as if they tried to cram in as many new spells as possible, answer all the lore questions, and stepped away from what entices us about the wizarding world: the mystique. This film felt almost as if it should have broken up parts from each plot line and spread them out as to not be so condensed.
Also, without Johnny Depp, it's just nowhere near the same.

I love the entire series, but especially episode 6 really hit the mark! A lot of people complain about it being politically charged, but to me that made the show more real.
Mackie was awesome and heartfelt. I really enjoyed it.

Season 1 - 7/10.
This superhero show is a satire to you usual superhero movies. We have a fake superman, a fake the Flash, a fake Aquaman, etc. - so it seems that much inspiration is taken from DC.
The universe plays in a similarly corrupt worlds as the one we live in. The only difference is that they have superheroes, or "supes". On screen and in social media, they all seem like awesome righteous people but it quickly turns out that they hide more than one might expect. This is all for show and in reality there is a lot of corruption. Also, where do their powers even come from? The boys know about some of the supes heavy misdeeds and start fighting back.
It was alright. Honestly, I think the show was basically always super boring when the boys were on screen but it was often interesting when the supes were featured. They did a good show highlighting some of the corruption and ridiculing some of the superhero business but the motivation of the superheroes is not that clear. Why do they necessarily want to join the US military? One may argue about more money but the show does not at all show why these supes would need more money. I mean, Homelander is a freak who wears his superman outfit the entire day and his daily highlights is when he gets to have sex with his chef.
Season 2 - 5/10.
Meh, kinda boring. We get some new supes, get deeper into the mess Vought is in and Starlight gets closer to the boys, actually accompanying them occasionally. But man, why the heck is she so darn weak?
There is a focus on Homelander's child and quite a bit more on Homelander's insecurities. They continue to thematize some topics like religion, racism and white supremacy utilizing especially that this is an American series, as the black-white thematic and Christianity are especially prevalent in the US (but of course the same topics exist everywhere else).
But yeah. Meh. I wasn't convinced. Also not sure if some scenes needed to be added. Like the attack from the freak whose power is that he has a super long dick? That was disgusting and I don't think anyone needed to see that...

Honestly, I had thought that the theme of women in the 1950/60s was being work thin, but this series was a fresh look at life not only as a woman in that time, but as a chess player too. I know very little about chess, and the way the story helped to create tension without dumbing down the moves made me feel a part of it.
The ending was fairly conclusive (without giving too much away) so I hope it won't be attracted to the presumably financially enticing prospect of a second series with the same characters. I would love to see a new time period, however.

The first3 episodes I would give a -1000. The acting was something only Rodger Corman would be proud of. Which I wholly blame on the director and writers. The mess that was the first 3 episodes were the worst 3 episodes in the history of, well anything ever made. But episode 4 was actually quite good. Why run off 90% of your audience with the insulting garbage that was the first 3 episodes. I am one of the few people who could keep watching after the 3 worst episodes ever made. I just don't understand why you not only put the 3 worst episodes ever made to start your show. You insulted icon shows from the50's, 60's and 70's before you decided to put out a pretty good episode. The producers should have stepped in and told the director that the first 3 episodes were unacceptable. On a positive side this now has promise and maybe my perseverance will be rewarded.

A 10 for style, a 5 for substance, half a tick off for embarrassing lack of scale with the aircraft scenes. This had a chance to be the best film of the decade due to its budget and subject material and accomplished almost nothing.

An entertaining experience in which the dialogue between the alien symbiote/parasite Venom and everybody around him provide a joyful experience. With the 90 minute screentime the filmmakers comprehend the limitations of the characters being displayed and ensures the audience can have a pleasant viewing in true comic book fashion.

For once, here's a sequel that actually tops the original. "Spider-Man 2" is not only better than the first movie from 2002, it's one of the best movie sequels ever made. It features dynamite acting, writing, directing, and special effects. What more could you ask for?
One of the strongest aspects of "Spider-man 2" on why it works so amazingly well is the story. This is an extremely well written movie, and what director Sam Raimi puts up on the screen is the best superhero movie since the original "Batman". Plus, he gets great acting from his stars, from Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man/Peter Parker to Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson to Alfred Molina as Dr. Octavius. Everyone puts on a show of absolute greatness, and it's great fun to watch. Oh, and lets not forget about the special effects and action scenes. They're top notch.
"Spider-Man 2" is a must-see!
***** (out of five)

I would typically rate a film like this 4 stars, which is what it deserves, given that it lacks a plot, any sense of coherency and development, while also failing to get beyond the most superficial and basic summary of the story of Dunkrik. I am giving it one star because I am shocked at the high rating it currently enjoys, given its completely lazy script and disjointed direction. I am disappointed by C. Nolan, and I think he should stick to directing and stop writing scripts because they are awful. There is literally no meaningful dialogue in this film. If you like a contentless, dialogue-light, incredibly unintelligent film that has some nice shots of a dive bomber chasing and being chased on the beach in France, then this is for you. The film has such a severe shortage of dramatic content that it shows the same scene three times from different perspectives (the final scenes of the dive bomber chase) without really adding anything to the plot. Knowing a bit about the history of Dunkirk, after watching this film, it is safe to say that it tells the audience one thing about Dunkirk: there were 400,000+ soldiers trapped there by the Germans, and the British Navy rescued them with the help or requisitioned civilian vessels. I have watched an array of WWII films, from Saving Private Ryan, Letters From Iwo Jima, The Thin Red Line, Das Boot, Enemy At the Gates, and countless others. I have never felt the need to write a review for any of these films because I felt that their ratings were accurate reflections of their worth as films. I am writing this review, which is the first I have ever written on IMDb, because I am so outraged at the hype about this film, given that it was utterly vacuous and boring. As even the most generous reviewers have conceded, the film lacks characters, and thus lacks any real plot. Literally nothing seems to happen the entire film except for a few sailors and pilots being rescued--and one really long chase in the sky. There is absolutely no context given of why they were in Dunkrirk and how they were trapped. The entire drama surrounding Dunkirk, not to mention the massive military blunder made by Hitler at this front, was not only absent, but apparently actively ignored in this film. The film made a point of constantly switching from one scene to another and then back to the first (at certain points switching back and forth between four or five scenes that were only loosely connected to one another). Either people are getting more passive and sheep-like, simply following the lead of the critics who are undoubtedly invested in this film's success for reasons other than a genuine love of film, or they are becoming less intelligent, since this film is the definition of trash. I cannot believe that I read someone saying that this was the best film they saw in a decade. However, when the competition is the 6th installment of Spider-man, an overrated and overblown third installment of Planet of the Apes and other like-minded, mind-numbing agit-prop and trash. This entire review does not even get into the issue in the film surrounding its glorification of war, aesthetically, for the most part, but also dramatically (albeit at a very diminished level, given the lack of drama and character or plot development and depth in this film). The very origins of WWI and WWII lie in the callous and blind aestheticization of war, as in the proto-fascist futurist movement which produced poems glorifying war and modern machines of death. The scenes and feel of war are not adequately depicted in this film. It is far too much of a feel good flick to be realistic or even approach the boundary of realism. The entire film lacked the quality of feeling real, despite the director's desperate attempts to make it feel that way. Saving Private Ryan, despite some of its flaws, was far more gory and realistic than this film (I do not think you can make a realistic war film with battle scenes, especially of WWII without the level of violence that would warrant an R rating). In the end of the film, the soldiers go on a train the England and the train's interior looks like it is from the early 2000's or late 1990's at the earliest. It does not look like 1940's England. The film does not capture the audience through ideas or dialogue or history, but rather uses beautiful camera shots and crowd psychology to please and entertain. It lacks any critical attitude toward itself or the idea of representing war and destruction, and moreover, toward that of representing history in general. This film tells you just about what a knowledgeable four year old could say about Dunkirk: allies trapped by Nazis in Dunrkirk, and British RAF and Navy come to the rescue with the help of a few civilians. Really not compelling. How about showing the audience why Dunkirk even was part of the war? Or showing the local French population, or the Nazis who were invading? Or simply explaining the context in more than three lines at the beginning of the film. This script was lazy and amateur.

1917 is a beautifully made film from start to finish. It never waivers in its momentum. The filming techniques are great and capture the mood well. The Direction is great, it scores well in realism. There are no over the top moments and it builds up well. So when we have some pivotal events Mendes shows and allows us to experience moments. There is also an emotional payoff in the end. The acting is top notch and brought home well by a good cast. A truly great film that doesn't try too hard but simply delivers. 8/10

Maybe it is just me growing older. I spent the first episode trying to like this. I do think Ellen Page is a classy actor with taste. But really, what nonsense, what non-emotions about non-issues.

*The character is severely dumbed down to garner Marvel type laughs. Wonder Woman is suppose to a highly skilled and intelligent Amazonnian. *Even worse is the actress's political views. *Gal Gadot was the wrong choice. She has the muscular build of lady who has trouble opening car doors. Yet in the film we're suppose to believe she can leg sweep grown men. *The DCEU should have gone with Gina Carano. Not a whole lot of acting credits much like Gal but more fitting and more capable actress.

Please save your money and do not watch this movie. There are many negative reviews here.
The jokes are horrible and so childish that children would roll their eyes at it. MJ is a useless character filled with sass and unbecoming of a girl-next-door character.
The original spider man with Tobey was the best version of this story.

Great cinematography! Takes us back into 1980s and Soviet Union era. Brings up the horrifying truth of biggest man made disaster in the history. It is not horror show but yet it is unsettling and difficult to watch because of the haunting dark truth, the background score, and dramatization of actual, real-life horror experienced by thousands of people. Everyone should watch it to understand the history and how human scientific inventions could go wrong to destroy the life on the earth!

This should had been a 5 episode series. They have put in so many boring unnecessary scenes. Storyline is a little interesting but episodes are too long. And you will get disappointment by ending.

Since the focus is on one person, the frames are almost never wide enough for this to be a visual "feast", (although there moments like this). However since it is so focused it becomes more like a filet mignon. Elegant, polished, thoughtful, and of course delicious! They didn't just try and make a film where the camera seemingly never cuts. They also took great care to set up visually pleasing shots, making great use of angles and props. Not to mention is still works as a complete story. Excellent!

We start with a hero who somehow instead of developing regresses.
He came 12 years from the future and is never the smartest person in the room always being the last to understand what is going on.

So I rented this movie, and was thankful that I didn't go see it in the theatre! The last 1/2 hour of the movie I kept looking at the clock wondering when this crap movie would end. Gal Gadot is cute and attractive, but she can't save this movie. It is so over blown with CGI that it's just terrible! Chris Pine, every time I see him I see & hear William Shatner. At one point in the movie they had a close up for him and I was like..."It's Michel Myers from Halloween!" The whole movie is just stupid.....bad acting, bad WW1 stages, bad costumes, really bad effects. I am so tired of the entire super hero movies thing. Hollywood has tanked!!! How did this awful movie get such a high rating, what a joke!

Anyone desiring an honest rating shouldn't go by the average rating you see for this series. This series by no means deserves an average rating of 9. A below average screenplay, average direction and ordinary acting can best be rated around 5.

I usually don't watch new Indian movies or TV shows but decided to watch Ludo for some reason. It was two and a half hours of cringefest, felt like watching nickelodeon, I swear I'll never watch sillywood movies again. Can't believe it's a netflix original. #Netflix #Ludo

I do have a few issues with it, however, it definitely deserves a watch. Not very gory most of the time, so I would say most episodes are family-friendly. If you show MHA to a young child, make sure to watch the ratings of the show because there are a few brutal scenes (one person even loses their arms after being dismembered.)

If you are a 14 years old or less, maybe, maybe you may enjoy an action movie with zero plot. In fact, maybe some 14 yo kid wrote this.

It's so exhausting. It would have been more suitable as a film. If man succeeds to make it a movie, while getting rid of all the stupid American cliches and "dramatic" soundtrack , then it could have been a masterpiece!

I'm glad so many loved this film. And found it life altering. But, truth be told, I simply could not!!!!! I found Tom Hanks annoying through out. From his Over-Acting the Part, to his fake accent. I usually enjoy his films. But, for me, this one was a Bust!!!
Sally Field was a breath of fresh air from beginning to end. Which is why I gave the film a 3 and not a1.
I never understood why this film scored so high.

Im in the middle of the show, the good thing - it's bearable to watch. But yup, you're on an alien planet, something bizzare happens, the reactions are weird and not suiting the situation. The dialogs are long and boring, trying to bring out emotions, it doesn't work. So many holes in the show, who wrote this?

I'm not a big comics guy nor do I really follow all of the "super hero" type movies that seem to be coming out every couple of months or so... at least before the China virus super villain invaded Hollyweird and the rest of humanity. But I really like the Captain America series for its generally pro-America/Liberty/Freedom stance and its ability to tell great stories related to the times we are in without flinching and with only names and fancy uniforms to stand in for the real-world entities they mirror.
"Civil War" is a magnificent embodiment and reflection on our divided political views and the sometimes harsh realities that come with being "free" and defeating tyranny: Do we play nice and appease the evil forces in the world for the sake of avoiding potential collateral damage in confronting them now before they get too strong to defeat? Or do we look the other way and pretend the forces of evil aren't there and continuing to grow as we paper over the reality with formal systems of appeasement such as the UN in an attempt to lend credibility to our cowardice? Do we face ridicule and punishment for standing up to evil now even though the inevitable costs of doing so will be high? Or do we keep our mouths shut and hope for the best while knowing that eventually, everything we hold dear will be destroyed if we ignore our consciences? Or do we do the right thing anyway and accept our roles as outcasts and scapegoats in the eyes of the very society we save from itself?
This is a pretty serious film about a very serious time in the history of our world which is now. Bravo to the studio and all involved for making such an unflinching piece of "fiction."
The only reason I give it 9 stars instead of 10 is because I believe that the use of CGI is excessive and distracting. I think a lot of the scenes could have done without it or used some other "real" methods to get the same effect. At some point you have to ask if the film is live action or a cartoon. And while it is a mix of both, it relies a little too much on the later. Obviously some scenes could not be done without CGI but many could have been done without it... as with fight scenes between two or more characters which could have been done live action but CGI characters were used instead. This to me is just distracting and it pulls me out of the film. Plus there were some other things that bothered me such as the under-explained absence of The Hulk and this new character "Cross-Bones" that, while I know his background, just seems unnecessary, underdeveloped and gets lost in a sea of other much more important and interesting characters.
Also, the witty banter, tough-guy (gal) one-liners and super-stylized poses and moves starts wearing thin really quick. It's just too much. Much of the dialog, I'm sure, is designed to inject comic relief but it winds up feeling forced and inappropriate much of the time... like when "friends" are fighting and practically trying to kill each other they like to quip back and forth with jokes or comments of admiration on their fighting styles or their snazzy outfits. Just not very appropriate and is in juxtaposition to the serious nature of the situations. Sort of like your oncologist telling you a "bald guy" joke while you are dying of cancer. Again, pulls me right out of the film.
If they can stop going overboard with the CGI and constant cringe-worthy attempts at tough one-liners and failed comic relief, they will have a great formula for future films. Overall a great movie and well worth the viewing.

They don't even know how to speak in Bengali. How??? Just how? It's based on Bangladesh but they speaking, I was just laughing listening their Bengali . Clearly no one from Bangladesh involved there. As many mistake happen. Too much spelling mistake. I even saw South indian language on a shop. That's ridiculous. And in every dhaka house indian song playing. Also story not that good.

If you are looking for action movie with good content then this is not the right movie for you . there are thousand of lacking with the story and country like Bangladesh with good law and order but this movie shows opposite so i would say writer had no idea about this country

I watched the preview for this show and thought it looked great, But after suffering through several episodes I was left with a gaping hole in my life that I will never get back. The story is ok except that if it can go wrong, it will, is it to much to ask for at least one thing to go right? The acting is mediocre at best, some newer faces so I let that slide, but a little more effort could have been expected for the money i'm sure these people were paid. Now to the worst part of this show. Dr Smith!!! You are on a new planet and nobody knows you, so why would you try and destroy everything? You have a chance at a completely new life but you choose to be A bad guy, I'm not buying it, there is nothing to gain here but the writers feel that she is an important part of the plot. The only thing this character did for me is not want to watch this show anymore. This is A prime example of Netflix, lets take a show that could be awesome and cast it poorly, hire crappy writers and rush it to airing! Major disappointment.

Based on a true story of an airline pilot in the 1980's who is recruited by the CIA to (at first) take photos over Cuba and then later to smuggle drugs and weapons for the U.S government. Barry Seal slowly gets in over his head when he becomes involved with the Medellin drug Cartel.
This story could have benefitted from a different lead, Tom Cruise is just his MI character, the same action guy as always just with a different background and it sucked the movie down for me so that I wasn't watching a true story about Barry Seal but a Tom Cruise action movie.
Its entertaining enough and plays out like 'Scarface' or Johnny Depp's 'Blow'. All the money, so much money he doesn't know where to keep it after a while. Interesting unbelievably true, worth a watch.

I don't use to write reviews, but had to say this was awful. I would like to know how can they spend so much money and not realize how bad it's turning out. Terrible acting, directing, writing... only photography looks well, except for some cgi cheap tricks. The first episode is one of the worst I've seen in a series this supposedly big (or expensive) in a long time. Who does Netflix have checking on this productions? Hope they sort things out, because between the movies they're producing and this kind of errors...

Wandavision is a great idea, but its too early to tell if it is the best tele of 2021 or the worst! I'm willing to give it a few more episodes to find out... certainly Episode 2 was considerably better than Episode 1.
Elizabeth Olsen is fabulous as the sitcom "wifey"... am slightly more reserved about Paul Bettany, who I don't think is a natural comedian.
Not sure who the audience for this is supposed to be? It should appeal to old gits like me, who remember the 60's shows parodied here, like the Dick van Dyke show and Bewitched. But many might be put off by the Marvel elements. And whether a young Tic-Toc swipe-through generation will stick through the lame sitcom humour is to be seen.
My full review is on my Bob the Movie Man channel on Youtube.

I must admit, I was more than a little sceptical when I saw the first episodes. Pretty upset really, it sucked. But I was wrong, didn't expect a slow build up like this, cause I never saw anything like it. When the fun started it went all the way fast. Will recommend this to whomever wants to hear it. Great show, but you need a bit more patience than you're used to need for a Marvel product.

The way the entire team performed is a true showing of hard work and beautiful connections. A group of mesmerizing people presented to us that no matter what anyone ever tells you, if you have a dream, idea, or thought that you want to pursue all you have to do is reach for it. Another note is how affective Australian audiences have shown there support in helping grow all the amazing people that deserve to be recognized. There can be many interpretations of what art is to someone but at the end of the day all anything is to you as a person is how it affects you. It makes you feel. Does it make you regret? What does it make you love or hate?

The first two episodes lead me to wonder if this was going to be purely an exploitative take on pulp fiction novels but by the end of the third episode the series shows it is going somewhere. Sure it may be a path taken before, and one that's open to interpretation, but the complaints about the "dog in episode 7" and others claiming it's just a knock-off of other stories are hard to understand because the series is uniquely now and the whole dog thing is a key turning point in the dynamic of the main characters development.
In the end, I was impressed by the acting and the moral I took away from it all -- that people change, and those whom you think may be the most unstable outwardly and you are most afraid of often aren't the ones you need to be most concerned about. How a few unexpected events can completely change the source of your life and others around you; and how attempting to understand someone and not just hide behind a badge or a mantra that "I am just being real and honest" is something we all should give a try.
As with most most edgy shows, this one will polarize based upon your own life experiences but give it a try and with an open mind.

Its a little bit boring, thats about all i have to say, it was nothing special, i was disappointed that Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga were just side characters.. since they ( especially her ) were what i was most excited to see in this movie, but oh well... i have a bad feeling the Conjuring movies will just keep coming n coming, and that could turn into a baddddddd thing, since there becoming a tad cheezy..

I will sit through Rose Red in tv which is 6 hours long this movie was 2.5 hours and it was on dvr so I could fast forward through the commercials and still barely made through in one sitting. It has some some interesting philosophies built into it. That being said I feel like the Batman universe (not one movie, or show or comic but the entire Batman collection) already kinda did this. There were points that reminded me of Klarion which ain't technically Batman but my first introduction to him was Batman th animated serious from the 90s. There were points that reminded me of Darkseid which is technically Superman based but shows up a lot with Justice League, Young Justice and Titans (Teen Titans) which are Batman formed groups. Some even reminded me of Ray's Al Ghul, which is solely Batman universe. There was a scene that seemed reminiscent of the "Luke I am your father" scene. It felt like it stole aspects from different existing story lines and groups of storylines. Despite feeling I unoriginal it felt without the cgi it was nothing. The opening scene was over the top cgi to draw you in and honestly my reaction was if you're going to green screen the whole movie I don't want to watch it. I am not saying the acting was bad merely that they did not rely enough on the acting to make it worth much. Certain aspects of the storyline felt rushed because they cut dialog and character development to add cgi action scenes. I watched other Disney Marvel movies and stopped because I felt they were shallow in terms of characters, character development and storyline, the only reason I watched this is because I heard it was different and more of what I wanted in terms of complexity. Honestly maybe a bit but in the end I felt it still favored special effects over the characters and storyline. In the end I don't care about the characters or what happens next in the story and that's where it failed - I don't want to see the sequel because I don't care.

One of the best Bollywood mainstream movie I've seen. And I'm serious when I say this. It did complete justice to it's theme and not just in isolation, but also includes the side stories.
10x better than Padmaavat, BaajiRao Mastani, or other historical period drame.
Jus like other reviewer said- it's very serene and cinematically Extravagant.
Music is unquestionably godly by the grace of AR Rahman. They pulled off a 213 minutes of screentime i.e 3 hourse and 33 minutes. And you didn't inched from your seat for a moment is a tremendous achievement!
Love, love, love. Iconic!!

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Ready Player One. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of video games most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Parzival's optimistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from the video game series Final Fantasy, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Ready Player One truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Parzival's existencial catchphrase "You're full of shit" which itself is a cryptic reference to Activision's video game epic Call Of Duty. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Steven Spielberg's genius unfolds itself on their theater screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Ready Player One tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Sherlock is such an absolutely brilliant show! All you have to do is read through some of the reviews to see how loved this show really is. It's one of the best rated tv shows on just about every website for a reason...because it's incredible! There have been a lot of different versions of Sherlock Holmes with a bunch of really good ones (Robert Downey Jr., Jonny Lee Miller) and with some really bad ones but Benedict Cumberbatch is the best of them!

As I stated in the title of this review first and foremost this movie is absolutely worth your time, especially with a rather short run-time that is an hour and fifty minutes.
This movie has a ton of soul behind it and it shows, many of the scenes are just fantastically made and you could feel they aren't just corporate copy-paste pieces made to create a film.
However, I do feel like Barbie suffers from the same issues that movies like 'Jojo Rabbit' do, while having the movie have a non-serious feel to it at times and switching it around certain scenes it really diminishes the value of both sides.
Despite this, this movie is still Kenough like all of us.

The best show in the history of modern television. Clean and yet absolutely hilarious. I can't find any fault in it except for Selena Gomez's acting. She (her dialogue delivery in particular) is annoying to put up with but the rest of the cast help you ignore her.
Season one is flawless. Season two doesn't start as promising but by the finale, you'd see the genius. They outdid themselves in the final episode. Martin Short is amazing throughout the series. There is no moment in the show with him in it that's disappointing.
In a nutshell, if you are looking for some fun family entertainment that will lift you up, this is the one to watch!

I, like most people, believed the hype around this movie and was really disappointed when watching it. Do yourself a favour and avoid it.

I think the quote " expect disappointment and you'll never be disappointed" was a message from marvel to us regarding this movie. The pacing was the worst and most horrendous thing i have ever seen in a marvel movie. The fact that they had a multiverse (infinite universes) but zero plot twists in shocked me , the story and plot were just bang average and expected. And then you get to the mid and post credit scenes, which are nothing short of utter disappointment. All in all one of my worst mcu experiences considering the hype that was built up for the movie.
Ps: The post credit scene is not worth staying for.

5/10 - unbelievably crass and highly overrated, I, against popular sentiment, did not enjoy this supposed comedy classic

I was flipping channels when I came across the Avatar the Last Airbender on Nick and it has turned out to be a really good show.
The timing for the show's release couldn't have been better -- it came on the scene just as Cartoon Network stopped producing new episodes of Teen Titans. The artwork and animation are very well done and the show seems to have the right mix of comedy, action, violence, Asian culture,and mysticism. These elements, combined with well-developed characters and a decent storyline/plot make the show appeal to a wide range of age groups. It also seems that the show has blended the best of anime with American style animation -- think of the best elements of Teen Titans, Samurai Jack, and The Hakkenden (an anime show/movie from the early 90's)with touches of Disney-style animation elements. I also like the show for what is not in it -- namely the "trading card" duels that seem to plague many anime shows today. It also features voice actors like Mako who seem to enhance the quality of the show even further.
My only fear concerning the future of the show is that they reduce the production budget or start cutting corners in the third season -- right now it is a high-quality show that I would recommend is worth a look from people of all ages.

Batman begins has lots of special effects, spectacular fighting scenes and basically a good story. The cast is very good, and acting as well. There are many moments that really keep the tensions and expectations high. But the downside of the film for me was that it was overall too slow. The film has a duration of 134 minutes and that is too long for just the basic story, unless of course you are a long time fan. The scenes introducing batman's youth and trauma, the 'education' he got high in the mountains are lineair, predictable and far too long to keep the attention. The rest of the story depicting Batman saving Gothman are nice and spectacular, but also, very lineair in story line and hence a bit boring and predictable. Bottomline is that Batman Begins is a nice Hollywood spectacle and good for the fans, but with a very thin storyline that is brought in a very predicable, unexciting way.

Henry Cavill is what drives this series forward. Other elements presented in the series attract the eye of people who like fantasies. Black elf, black dworf, indian sorcers, a medieval army in armor similar to star wars all this pulls down hard. I don't remember such quirks in Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, you can even compare it to the Game of Thrones where no one tried to force political correctness. History Witcher is set in medieval Europe, not in the US, where they try to weave the skin color in everything. That is why the world presented in the series is not coherent, it lacks sublimity, history and tradition, of what was the most beautiful in the witcher. Netflix made a big mistake that he did not want to cooperate with the cd-project, it was understandable that he wanted to promote his brand because this is followed by a lot of money and independence, but what they created can be called at most an attempt to screen Witcher.

It was pretty dang good man, I just personally thought it was a bit overrated. Maybe I'm to simple to get the major messages of the film, but hey man, check it out. This movie is a piece of film history.

I like this show but I don't love it. I think I can speak for a lot of people when I say we have that show or movie we like but don't think about or obsess over when the credits roll we leave and don't think about it again until a sequel or another season gets announced.
That's what this show is to be a solid piece of entertainment when it comes around but after I have finished watching it that'll be it in terms of thinking about it afterward. I'm not saying that it's a bad show just not one that piques my interest that much. In terms of what I like and what I consider the highlights of the show the characters are well done and have great qualities of them.
I liked the third season just as much as the last two seasons but that's all I can say. If you are a big fan of the show then you'll hopefully like it because it gives you more of what you already like about the last two seasons.

"Pitchers"- An inventive script, impeccable screenplay, true-to-life characters, splendid acting and humor at its best.
Arnuabh Kumar started "The Viral Fever" on YouTube when he got rejected from MTV because their show was too intellectual. Now here he is, with "Pitchers", which is intellectual.
Some IIT guys with a penchant for filmmaking started making small videos, and now they have reached a level where we can proudly say that they are encouraging everyone. Their satires on the social issues, politics, and everything bad in our country is commendable.
"Pitchers" have taken the creativity to a whole new level, lovable characters and immaculate writing are the souls of it.
Gives the feel of "Entourage".
Kudos people, Keep it up.

Ok so for this review I am not going to say too much because people seriously need to experience this show for themselves.
So first I must say I was kinda skeptical about Mads as Hannibal but, after the series I guess you can say he ate my words. Probably one of the most terrifying versions of Hannibal I have seen or just in general one of the scariest characters. Mads was made for this role since he was born. The visuals, music, acting, oh and I can't forget the food are all extremely well done. Basically everything about this show is perfect. Other than maybe a few problems with S3 It still didn't stop me from giving it a perfect 10 and I don't hand those out for free but, this show deserved it. Well I really don't have much else to say cause like I said It's better if you go in blind then going in knowing what you will get on your plate. Trust we you won't regret it. 10/10 Masterpiece!

Sometimes the key to telling a good story is a simple one, strong characters and a simple straightforward chronology. Witcher suffers from having little none of these qualities. It's a back and forth mess expecting us to know or care what is going on.

It is a series that knows its identity and leans heavily on it each season. The world in which he lives continues to grow and evolve without losing that identity either. The cast is also giving some of the best performances here.

Boring, flat and predictable storyline as many other DC movies. Gal Gadot fit well the Wonder Woman in DC comics. But she is really not a good actor.
