Fincher is among my favorite directors of today, and his craft is definitely one of the most redeemable qualities of Zodiac, but the movie is overly long and struggles to rise out of the "run of the mill" type labels for crime drama mystery films.
While certainly decent and worth a view if you haven't gotten around to... | 5 |
I honestly don't understand the hate of many people when a show becomes slightly political. I don't see a problem with that.
But if you it, do it really. The "Black Power" part in the end is okay and far less cringe than in other films. But the whole issue about the refugees/displace people remains totally flat. This ... | 5 |
Extremely strong start on all fronts that later slopes into average level sci-fi. brilliant camera ,strong cast, great soundtrack. strong story start that inevitably stumbles upon stupidity of time travel concept. Any form of time travel breaks causality and core science they are basing it upon. as i said before time t... | 7 |
There isn't enough story for this plot to be stretched out over so many movies and so many years. This movie should have been the end of it. They have taken this Bucky story which isn't that interesting and made several movies around it. Enough!
Liked Emily Van Camp here need more of her. Not sure about Tom Holland as... | 6 |
Oh look the off button. Sorry I'm sure they are good actors in the right role but just not in this. Perhaps I should have persevered longer then ten minutes but just couldn't stand the acting. | 1 |
As usual, there are plot changes from the original storyline. Isaac, as the main character does a good job. The Steven character is just whiney and annoying, gets tiresome. And there is entirely too much screen time for Hawke.
That said, the cinematography is special and plot twists abound. I wanted to go a little hig... | 7 |
Is that everyone moves so slowly. I just want it to move on, but it's like all the characters are moving through molasses. Otherwise, awesome. | 8 |
There's nothing new with deconstructing the superhero genre. Doing it tastelessly makes it subpar. There's a distinct tendency for homoeroticism which doesn't bring anything to the table other than disgust.
The lack of imagination when it comes to characters being puzzled with their situation that really forces whatev... | 6 |
Magnificent from beginning to end, The Godfather Part II is a superb film that betters what was already a perfect film to begin with. Much more epic in scope and retaining a lot of symbolism and Shakespeare like tragedy, Coppola and Puzo have created a work of art once again. Flashing forward a couple of years after th... | 10 |
I originally gave this show a 9 when it first came out, but now it's finished I don't think it applies anymore. It became repetitive so early on its not even worth a re watch. I liked all the characters esp Phil and Gloria but they all became flanderised very quickly, not sure if it's an acting choice or the writing bu... | 5 |
Only Murders is a really good show. The premise is interesting. I know Martin and Short have been friends for many, many years, but Gomez has slotted in nicely and the 3 of them have an easy chemistry.
Martin Short is hilarious, Steve Martin is solid as usual and Selena Gomez is great "mothering" them with their old f... | 9 |
From the very beginning you'll realise that you're going to experience a 95 mins Laughter Ride.
Pradhuman Singh in his debut as Osama stole the show. Every actor were hilarious in their character. Director Abhishek Sharma in his debut gave us a brilliant comedy what is very rare nowadays. Tere Bin Laden is one of thos... | 9 |
"Love is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends time and space."
Void. Then, as the monologue continues, the void is filled with cringe. "Oh, Nolan", I think to myself. "Will you ever be able not to take gigantic resources as means to tell over-complicated, spectacle-centered stories that lack emoti... | 5 |
Now days, there are few Bollywood movies which are once watchable. Few of these make an impact, and very rare of those can be watched again and again. "Bheja Fry" has succeeded in entering in these rare category movies. It has everything a perfect Bollywood comedy should have.
Most part of it is comedy, but a tiny par... | 9 |
Great story which shows the struggle of all the lead characters.
All actors Naveen kasturiya, anurabha Kumar, Mahajan did good work Standout performance for me is by sikander kher seen in Monica o my darling he is great actor Cameos of other tvf stars are witty and funny especially vipul goyal.
The MVP of the series ... | 8 |
SPIDER-MAN 2 (4 outta 5 stars)
Yes, it's true... another sequel that turns out to be even better than the first one. The young cast (Toby Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco) are back from the first movie... as is the director, Sam Raimi. This time the action scenes don't look as clumsy as they did the first time. Th... | 8 |
It's rare to see a sequel that is as good as the first; it's even rarer to see the two acting veterans, De Niro and Pacino, together in a film. This is the only film that delivers both. I loved the first Godfather film, for it's acting talent, for it's cinematography, and for it's fantastic story. The acting is every b... | 10 |
What is the point of this show. I'm two episodes in and it's nothing but a early 1960s sitcom. Writing is awful. No real special effects. It doesn't even temped you to come back and watch the next episode. And what's with 8 minutes of credits at the end? Certainly 1000 people did work on it. | 7 |
Further evidence society is sliding into the gutter. Debauched sh"te. We're certainly living in degenerate times. In my lifetime I've witnessed the steady decline in what is deemed acceptable viewing. Graphic violence, Sexual debauchery, full frontal nudity, Swearing the full pantheon is now mainstream. I worry for the... | 1 |
It's been a while since I watched a movie which is bound to be a feel-good one, and this one is amazing on it's merits. You can add this gem to the category of movies like Untouchable, Life is beautiful and Forrest Gump. Every one of these movies deals with tragic issues, and most of them are tear-jerker, but with happ... | 8 |
I did not expect to be so entertaining. Fantastic script, scenery and acting! | 9 |
Another pointless pseudo-comedy that is way more obsessed with its protagonists's angst than having any jokes.
Eccentric characters, embarrassing circumstances and habitual bickering are 90% of the humour as the movie begs you to care about several deeply unsympathetic characters.
Really makes one think that if this ... | 5 |
Funny fireworks scene when the guy blew up the hospital. This was great affects. That crew really did a great job at all the effects. Overall a really good presentation of Batman. | 6 |
Dear Marvel fanboys,
Iron man is dead.... so as your universe.
The rise of DCEU has begun.
Get use to it. | 1 |
So Marvel made the mistake that DC have been making. They had loads of good ideas for a film but forgot to turn those ideas into a coherent, watchable film. I think I spent the majority of this movie with a perplexed look on my face as I have no idea what they were going for. People have mentioned the director, the scr... | 2 |
Intelligence takes away from a person. In turn, it is unique. Highly recommended. | 9 |
Each season consists of 24 episodes with each episode acting as a one hour period in the show. This is where the name "24" comes from with each season being the equivalence of one full day. The show bounces back and forth between various characters and situations that are all happening at the same time. The main protag... | 10 |
As a director, get the basics right, it's almost like watching different films when in one beach scene it's calm with clear skies and sunshine, and the next... overcast with crashing waves.
Also... the constant sound effects/music are awful. The brave service personnel of WWII deserve better.
Just my opinion. | 5 |
The plot was weird and incoherent. Hopefully the next episode will bring it all together. I'm reserving jugement fort two or three more episodes. It could develop into something interesting. | 1 |
Great show. But what the ... is Greek holocaust? Hollywood please don't invent holocausts to get investment from minorities! 😡 It's a fun show, great acting, nice story. But why do you have to implement a made up subliminal message into it? What's the historical document or legal backings of such hoax as Greek holocau... | 8 |
The opening is cringe worthy. Wet sad eyes dominate. What is it with all the crying in movies lately? The main actress can do so much better, but I'm sure it was the director. I guess its geared more to the 20 and younger audience. It was wayyyyy too long. Not worth the money or time. | 4 |
The book was bad - the film is just as bad.
My biggest problem is this...
A man is the only man alive on a planet, and is likely going to die there on his own. Does he get depressed or anxious? no. Does he lament his miserable existence? no. Does he cry about his family, his friends, his previous life on Earth? no. D... | 2 |
Thanks to endless reruns of the original, animated film "The Lion King" the last couple of weeks (thanks TV), I've unintentionally prepared myself for this year's live-action remake of the Disney classic.
Just like "Cinderella," "The Jungle Book," "Beauty and the Beast" and other beloved tales, the story of a young li... | 4 |
Visually stunning but with a little bit on the inside this movie will give you exactly the same experience as The Shutter Island - previous DiCaprio's work.
Tom Hardy & Cillian Murphy are the only actors who actually fit the movie. The rest of quite amazing line-up is all over the place and doesn't really suit their r... | 4 |
This movie was so stupid I cannot believe it was actually made. It was an amazing movie in terms of visuals, but the storyline, plot, and dialogue were absolutely atrocious. Honestly this movie would be better if George Clooney and Sandra Bullock's characters were replaced with monkeys and there was no dialogue. Person... | 1 |
Really enjoyed this throwback spy thriller. Great performances, especially from Jennifer Lawrence, Charlotte Rampling & Matthias Schoenaerts. And the musical score gives it a real sense of place, almost nostalgic. Treats the audience like intelligent adults able to distinguish the gratuitous from the contextual when it... | 9 |
Wow, I had watched an episode in school and it was just so intense for a show that was to be shown in school. At first glance, I thought I would doze off, but it was impossible with the storyline and just everything. Oh I'm insane about their accents also! It'd be hilarious when our class would go nuts if the volume tu... | 9 |
I have no idea what happened to the third season.
I really enjoyed the first season of this show. I loved the tone, the characters, the conflicts... the story was totally unique in my opinion.
The second season was alright. I don't think it was as original or engaging. But it was still watchable and has some redeemin... | 6 |
Well the titled says it all, good looking and acted movie. But no need for all these actors to be in the very elaborated setup just to show us 30 minutes worth of scenes of stuff we could have figured out. Totally takes the fun from the who done it. So we are left with a movie too long for it's own good and not clever ... | 5 |
My daughter and I recently enjoyed watching Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) on Peacock. The storyline unfolds as Po discovers he was adopted, prompting him to embark on a quest to find his parents and unravel the mystery behind their disappearance. Despite everyone believing he's the last Panda on Earth, Po uncovers a plot that... | 8 |
A series that demonstrates how overwhelming and cruel the state can be with the population in order to defend itself. The communist system is a humanist deception that only works for the blind. | 9 |
I like the mission impossible movies. They are good for what they are, no brainer action Saturday night movie. This one though I just found a bit boring. The plot was not that intriguing, the twist was predictable, the filming of it seemed quite grey and lacklustre. Most importantly tho, the action sequences were not t... | 5 |
I thought it could be nice tv show, but of course political correctness so stupid and has to occurre even in chess show. | 6 |
It was painful watching episode after episode anticipating the next one will be good.
I think most of the budget was given to the leading two actors to agree to be part of this bad TV show. | 2 |
The book was awesome this is not. I was looking forward to seeing the adaptation of The outsider but this is just a quick fix. Not complaining about the acting, just the story and how they just wiz through important details. Disappointed! | 3 |
In a sense, this is the slave version of Shawshank's redemption, but it doesn't have so many clever tricks, but its essence is the same - although the body is not free, it always pursues to realize the value of being a person. The greater significance of the film is that it is so intuitively displayed on the screen abo... | 8 |
It's boring . Maybe a home watch but surely not a theatre watch. | 1 |
Green screen is visible worst CGI bad acting even for main actor . Movie with a weak concept. | 4 |
This movie had me and my friends first 20 minutes in, nothing new, nothing too see, we skipped to last part of the movie and we started laughing at Light is Dark and Dark is Light; you cannot be serious from these producers, script writers.
I dare anyone who said it loved this, the visuals at most, i wonder if they ev... | 4 |
Slow as hell, boring, makes no sense, the "thing" is a massive weed and not scary at all. All it does is snarl. Poor script, incoherent, need subtitles to watch. 10 hours of life I'll never get back. It's proper toilet this show. | 1 |
I loved the first Doctor Strange. It was different, mystical and entertaining.
The Sequel however felt like a Parody and a Compilation of whats possible. Basically a creative multiversal nightmare. The story is plain boring and stupid. It felt like the people in charge wanted to cram so much into it just because the n... | 3 |
It's not perfect, but it's very good. Way way better than season 1. You can tell they got a bigger budget and the story telling is tighter, without having to worry about multiple time lines. Mind you there are still some parts that don't work as well (the whole Yenn subplot is a bit of a let down), but it's an improvem... | 9 |
I don't like this movie not because I hate subtitles, am racist or bigoted, but simply because I don't regard this movie as that good. | 5 |
Watch it ! Just watch it ! It is a little bit worse than the first one but this doesn't mean that it is not a great film. The cast did not disappoint (can these cast ever disappoint) . Edward Norton although he didn't have and the best of the roles he played brilliantly so as Dave Bautista. They both made there charact... | 9 |
We watched about 30 minutes of this movie, just waiting for it to get better. It never happened. Maybe it's one of those movies that you have to painfully watch till it finally becomes a great movie.
Maybe the younger generation enjoys it, but from the first 30 minutes, it definitely does not appear to be worth watchi... | 3 |
I agree with most, it could have stopped after season 1 which was a 6/7 for me.
Ani introduction in S3 was a horrible idea and it went on till season 4!
Season 4 had nothing to do with the initial message...very very bad messages there!
This is beyond stereotypes and retribution. Almost all characters become despica... | 1 |
This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Basically its lost in translation no one really knows whats going on in wise the Americans don't understand what the Japanese are saying and it just carries on, and its just a complete mess and a waste of time, what the DVD case says about the movie is a load of rubbish s... | 1 |
Good mindless action movie, but I didn't like the ending. Let's just say that after a hero goes through so much, I like the hero to live another day. | 7 |
Must watch webseries...what an epic by Henry Cavill!! storyline and characters are fabulous...lot of new coming and awesome performance from everyone 🤘 | 9 |
Let me put it out there first- This isn't a bad movie. I actually wasn't bored at all throughout its long duration, and the story was fantastic and compelling. The big problem was the characters.
I can only describe every single character in this movie like being in the middle of a manic episode (like what you would s... | 5 |
... but are some things or careers or professions worth paying the ultimate price for?
So often the case, then as now, the team makes the difference and the paymasters do their best to scupper it through folly and ignorance. | 7 |
This is literally the most unintelligent show I have ever seen, in the beginning to explain some reasoning behind his action he spends 2 minutes explaining determinism to a some genius programmer. Obviously he knows what determinism is. He god damn made a simulation of an organisms predetermined behavior at 98 % accura... | 1 |
To start off, I'm going to say that I love a lot of the characters - basically every character besides the main character. Takemichi is a 26 yr old who goes back in time and is living in his 13 yr old body with the knowledge he has as a 26 yr old. With that being said , there are numerous times where he acts as if he's... | 7 |
I was getting tired of Marvel's two dimensional pretty boy/girl in tights with the same simplistic and repetitive story arch. Not to mention the usual nauseating 3 hour CGI porn fest.
Here they finally gave us something different and decently shot.
The action is not over the top, the script and characters are intrigu... | 6 |
Fantastic Beasts part 2 was definitely not what I would have expected. As a person who grew up with HP - totally commited - I have to say that while watching, I had the constant feeling: This movie was made for commercialization, especially 3D. Wizards are not using magical spells anymore, they just wave around with th... | 3 |
'The Crimes of Grindelwald' is the second movie in the Harry Potter franchise dedicated to the events that took place long before Harry was born - and portrays the rise of Gellert Grindelwald. After having been a long-time Harry Potter fan, growing up with the books and movies, I welcomed every extension of the Wizardi... | 5 |
Judging by the high votes,my opinion seems to be a pretty unusual one, but come on......A Hundred Million dollars for THIS? How can a Director with so much cash at his disposal allow scenes to be left In the finished Movie where Bubbles can clearly be seen In the Underwater shots?(See 'Goofs' for 'best' example). We wo... | 1 |
Completely devoid of any soul or emotion, watching this made me realise what movies would be like if you asked a robot to write a script.
Zero connection to any of the characters (could anyone tell the difference between his girlfriend and his mom?) The songs sound like everyone recorded their bits at home and posted ... | 4 |
'A MOST VIOLENT YEAR': Four and a Half Stars (Out of Five)
Critically acclaimed crime drama flick, written and directed by J.C. Chandor (who also performed both duties on 2011's 'MARGIN CALL' and 2013's 'ALL IS LOST'). The film is set in New York City, in 1981; which was (statistically speaking) one of the most violen... | 9 |
I just got back from seeing the new Captain America movie (alone (-_-) but It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. You know for once I'm glad I didn't have a date to the movies or otherwise I would have missed all the awesomeness of this movie.
I went in with low expectations because I didn't like the first one. This not only trumps th... | 10 |
I kept seeing ads for this and thought...... and again..... and again.... Selena Gomez?......nahhh and again.... Steve Martin (anything interesting since? I can't even remember last) Martin Short? Hmmmm, same feelings finally watched it and the next episode and the next Amazing! Very short episodes, very amazing, fun f... | 10 |
It was great. Good characters like Fitz, Simmons,Ward ,Colsen worth a watch in my books | 10 |
I wanted to like this movie but the longer it went, the more I disliked it. I can only think how much better this movie would have been if Marvel had made it and done the story right. The good is that the acting is very good and Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart deliver great performances as you would expect from them. ... | 1 |
I wanted to review this show after re watching shows from the past. Just as the Title says, this one has a bloated rating, and does not hold up. In the past I do recall preferring to watch Avatar, whenever it had aired on Nickelodeon. But it never quite stuck with me. I did also recall Upon viewing it I had become bore... | 6 |
Acting is amazing, it does look good, but I would be lying if I told you I knew what the heck this movie was about. It is definitely strange and confusing, and not in a cool way, it seems the director just kinda mashed a bunch of scenes together. If you like weird and confusing movies with a lack of payoff, then this o... | 5 |
Suderbad is a very funny and entertaining movie. That said it does not deserve nearly the accolades it has received. The only reason that it gets the treatment it does is because it's a big fish in a really small pond. The teenage sex comedy has been in severe decline since Risky Business. The American Pie series is ta... | 7 |
Martin Short, Steve Martin, and Selena Gomez are SO FUNNY in this. It takes a couple episodes to hit its stride, but once it does it's LOL funny. There's silly physical comedy and great dialogue banter, and the chemistry between the 3 characters is awesome. The mystery itself is light and fluffy, so go into this expect... | 9 |
This show is super underrated. I enjoy the animation style and the use of gore and blood is not overused. Although It may be a bizarre plot it has some good jokes and great fight scenes. Definitely recommend if you need a quick show to binge. Hoping for a Season 2. | 9 |
I watched almost all of the 250 films. None of them were the same as The Devil. I did not see a film as good as the Devil. It's too exciting. | 10 |
Im seeing a lot of people commenting that this show is hard to follow, but dont be fended off by that, because a lot of the people commenting this seems to have nothing to back it up, but their short attention-span. Yes, it doesnt over-explain itself, and yes many character hardly age, but if you care to pay proper att... | 9 |
If you like Super8 and the new IT Movie stuff like that you will probably love this, haven't watched season 2 yet but season 1 was Brilliant. | 9 |
Inception is a hard to follow film with amazing visuals and powerful soundtracks. Personally I only understood what was happening after watching it the third time. | 7 |
I'm ready to fight,jess they have guns. and we've got nothing. clay in season 4 episode 8.
Seriously? Don't the producers and director think that a better line instead of that. I kinda like the storytelling of season 1, but season 2,3 and 4 are completely waste of 30 hours from my like. If you want to waste it, don't ... | 1 |
4 May 2016 Film of Choice at The Plaza Dorchester Tonight - Captain America - Civil War. Imagine a really really bad Marvel Film and you're on the planet that it's farthest from. Another great instalment and yet again, possibly one of the best. This film had so much going on it kept your attention one hundred percent o... | 10 |
A must watch for anyone who has a Netflix account. The show is so well crafted and has an amazing arch for the protagonist. Great directing, acting, and writing.
Rally hope the show gets picked up for 2 or more seasons. | 8 |
I can't believe how much this series has changed my perspective of visual art form within the television sector, as it just captivates me within literally every minute of watching it!
The suspense you feel inside the ensemble of highly creative musical scores, guided by the almost crazy images on screen, completely im... | 10 |
Just okay really. Promising idea, amazing special effects but the internal battle between Mark and Steven became tiresome really quickly and I couldn't care less by the end. | 4 |
The Godfather was great, maybe one of the best movies in cinematic history, and part 2 doesn't fail, more the other way.. another great movie and especially i think Al Pacino shines again..
The Godfather continues, of course now the focus is how Mike Corleone (pacino) rules the corleone family, but also this story goe... | 9 |
I really enjoyed the movie, but it also tore me to pieces. I saw myself reflected in many very difficult situations in my life as a woman, beyond the fact that my feminism allows me to be aware of many things. I got home thinking a lot.
Margot Robbie's performance is incredible, it really makes you feel all the sadnes... | 9 |
It's great for brief minutes each show which kept me going through a few episodes. Unfortunately, the remaining time is either corny or mashed up so it isn't easy to follow. It's a poor substitute, wanna be, Game of Thrones. | 6 |
This is the marvel movie, I've been waiting for, not the avengers. Civil war in 10 times greater. and definitely better the batman vs superman, that was alright I guess.

From the first epsisode I was well and truly addicted! In a world full of Witches, Vampires & Demons we actually have a show feeling in all reality believable! breathtaking castles and scenery great storyline, mystery & intrigue. I hope the rest of the season delivers more of the same. | 10 |
Now I'm 16 years old, and a complete movie buff all my life and know movies well. I've been told id make a great critic so here I am. Now you adults may think oh he's 16 he doesn't understand the movie that's why he doesn't like it. FALSE I'm a HISTORY BUFF as well. This film easily landed a easy 1 with me. Hands down ... | 1 |
The series tries too hard to 'be cool'. It depicts 1989 but tries to be post-modern in its attitude. That just doesn't feel right. There are some excellent actors in Kabi and Kulkarni, but could have been handled better by more self-assured creative leadership. | 7 |
No offense to Michelle Y and the rest of the actors but how did this film end up winning so many Oscar? The first 15 mins was kinda funny to watch, after that it went downhill fast where this fiction was introduced. I turned it off after the scene in the elevator where Kongfu started, it was unbearable. The movie is so... | 3 |
Seriously do the directors of these US shows have a checklist?? First season brilliant. Second season enforced changes that make zero sense like seleba gomez character suddenly having her cake AND eating it. And as for amy schumer.............. | 6 |
More confusion than growing clarity. This second (of fIve) instalments into the Fantastic Beasts story was a step down from the first. Where the first was full of delight and discovery, mysteries and rescue, this one lost that sense of awe and adventure, and got bogged down in twists and turns that made the mind dizzy ... | 7 |
Iron Man 2 is a great all round movie, with something for everyone. It has the witty humour portrayed fantastically by great actor Robert Downey Junior and the Action that is expected from any superhero movie.
One of the things I like about the film is that it manages to get the story across very well and it still man... | 8 |
Shaft is like the black man's James Bond. He is smooth, and cool. Samuel L. Jackson embodies that smooth and coolness with a street twist. He is the best thing about the movie. One surprise addition was Regina Hall as Shaft's ex. This is the first time I have seen her in a non-Scary Movie role, and she was great and ha... | 6 |
Nice and novel concept of touching the aspects/ life of Civil Service Aspirants, blended with emotion, friendship and distrust. Nice casting and touching acting of the lead roles. Worth Watching. | 5 |
