I've read the books and absolutely loved them and now watching the series, I'm falling in love again with the story . Thank you to whoever thought it was a good idea to depict this trilogy through media . | 8 |
I get it. The Queen's Gambit is about a super smart, almost alien person. That's why she's so unemotional and strange.
The thing is, viewers don't like to root for unemotional strange people. We want our heroes to be likable. I suppose we can root for her because she's an orphan, but she immediately gets a good mother... | 5 |
Of course the book was way better. The civil war spanned the entire marvel universe (or at least the us). It wasn't just centered on the avengers. This could of been an even bigger movie deriving the culmination of mini series and other films just off this one movie. This movie was a hit but also a miss. Movie by itsel... | 8 |
5/10 - good acting, but this movie felt like a science fiction rip-off of A Quiet Place | 5 |
This movie left me wondering if, toward the end, all the characters would sit Bradley down and reveal some elaborate scheme they had ingeniously devised so that, ultimately, they would set him on the path towards sanity--AND to explain to the viewer why reality had seemed so warped in the movie up to that point...or SO... | 5 |
I agree with most of the imdb reviews on this series - as them, I absolutely love Stranger Things. Being able to follow children growing up through a TV screen is a privilege, and reminds me of the same closeness you feel to the characters in the Harry Potter films. It's quirky and original and I love every character.

Had high hopes for this one because of the first film. Was not disappointed! | 9 |
your story is great!!!its so GREAT...the first time i watch it i was hooked, actually watched it 9 time and i kept watching it..but i want to know the girl's name,it's not mentioned...it is really a true to life?but anyway it was great....it's a masterpiece...the one in the mountain the way the girl say sorry to the gu... | 10 |
Fitfully amusing for around 20 minutes, most on the strength of trying to get by on Prieto and the art/costume teams' efforts. When the movie actually starts, it suffers a lot from the Ferrara and Gosling strands, which give the movie its emotional beats, remaining at odds with each other. I did enjoy Michael Cera a lo... | 4 |
Peter has a more personal conflict with the villain than in previous movies, along with the fact that in the end he must make a responsible decision that will bring him consequences, it is a pity that this only happens at the end, most of the time committing stupidity after stupidity , he does the spell out of sheer se... | 4 |
I think this is my first review. This series is so bad I had to write one. I don't understand the good score. I have tried on 2 separate occasions to watch this show. Haven't even gotten past the 2nd episode because it is SO BORING. I played the games and enjoyed them so I really thought I would like this series. Henry... | 4 |
It couldve been very tense and interesting but switching from past to present every 5 mins took all the mystery away for me. The ending was meh, character development boring. But if there's nothing else on your watchlist why not | 4 |
Im not a critic or reviewer by any stretch of the imagination, and, to be honest I've never written a review nor given advice about what anyone should watch - but with this everyone should give it a go... It's just incredibly, incredibly good. From the casting, performance's, set/location, story and writing, to the mus... | 10 |
I'm not coming at this from a political or ideological angle. I will laugh at anything from any perspective, whether I agree with it or not, if it is funny. My husband and I made maybe 2 or 3 small chuckles during this movie. It was visually very stimulating, but the dialogue was so dull, and the jokes felt so forced. ... | 2 |
It's not quite as magical or amazing as Harry Potter but there is definitely something there.
This is a good start to a new story in the Magical World of Harry Potter. Hopefully, sequels don't let it down. | 7 |
12 Years a Slave receives a 3/10 from me, primarily because I found it challenging to watch. While the film is a poignant and historically significant portrayal of slavery in America, its depiction of the events and characters felt skewed, particularly in its representation of white men.
The film, based on a true stor... | 3 |
This was an attempt at being deep and thought provoking, and instead was a total mess. | 2 |
Very slow and pretty sappy. Thank God Sam Elliott saved me from taking a two hour nap after I blew $20 to see this borefest. | 2 |
A 7.9?! Do we now put filmmaking techniques over story? If that's the case, then the SW sequel trilogy is a masterpiece according to this rating. Anyhow, let's get to the review.
From a technical standpoint, this is an outstanding movie with gorgeous cinematography, editing, sound design, visuals and shots. It really ... | 6 |
There were two story lines basically . A) the life of movie star Rick Dalton on set B) Brad Pitt after he picks up the hitch hiker. Then a climax. After watching this film, storyline a is way way way too long. Almost 2 hours. It's a unique film as it potrays life on a movie set I suppose but I didn't fancy watching Leo... | 3 |
Great film and a great story. Loved the way it was told by the director. Deserves a higher rating hence my 7. | 7 |
All this posturing about power- should be an exciting subject. Instead this is a House of boring people, who are not helped by sluggish writing. So many Lord this, Ser that and Lady so-and-so come and go with little impact on the plot. And the look of the production is just plain cheap looking. Perhaps the omnipresent ... | 5 |
Estranged survivors of a dysfunctional school for superheroes are brought together by the death of their mentor. Can the heroes get over their past long enough to save the future? There's little "superhero-ing" here, and the story's probably better for it. But characterizations are strong, the stakes are high, and prod... | 8 |
Once you watch the first movie you want to see them all. The way the family and mafia story was told is very attractive narratively and visually. The actions that lead you to be in history every moment and live it as if you were there. The photography during many scenes that were performed in low key is beautiful, they... | 10 |
Every Indian should watch this movie... Just awesome.... Jai Hind... | 10 |
Obviously, it is so highly-rated because of its lofty ambitions & qualities for a "TV show", sort of like Twin Peaks & only a couple of others. It is also fun to spot the '80s artifacts & references, esp to films. Did everyone catch the Ferris Bueller one? It is also hard to stop watching anything with some kind of "TB... | 6 |
While the movie undoubtedly delivers in terms of stunt work with breathtaking sequences that push the boundaries of what's physically possible, despite that I can't say that the action scenes are good. Everything is recorded in such a boring monotonous way, the film does not have an exciting style like in the first mov... | 5 |
"Pirates" is a fun adventure film that breaks out of its "based on a Disneyland ride" chains and delivers a near-perfect summer family blockbuster.
The film is aided tremendously by the casting, especially Depp and Geoffrey Rush. All of the performances are very good, and it adds immeasurably to the quality of the fil... | 6 |
Lol, that wasn't Dhaka shown in the film!..That was kolkata clearly can be felt. Even their bengali accent was like pure Indian-bengali accent. Totally failed to present Dhaka! I expected something realistic from this film. It was so unexpected! | 1 |
One of the most overrated movies i've ever seen. The hype was for nothing and everything was predictable. | 2 |
This film establishes the tone of Captain America and his series of movies, since it takes a deep dive into the corruption of the American government. Black Widow finally becomes an interesting character (this being her third film in the MCU). The fight scenes are awesome. Most of the characters are enjoyable, this fil... | 8 |
Spider-Man 2 is a god damn excellent movie. It manages to improve upon the first movie and be way better than the first movie. The story is way better, the villain is way better, the characters and acting are way better, the score is still great, it's still beautifully shot, and even the action and visual effects are s... | 10 |
Putting The Avengers (which is an entirely different level of cinematic entertainment) aside, The Winter Soldier ranks as the best among the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe. With great action sequences, suspenseful moments, and emotional unravelling flow of events, this film strengthens Marvel Studios' status as not ju... | 9 |
The hype around this film is staggering. As the film unfolded, I predicted all but two of the things that happened. It just seemed like such an obvious stream of events other than the surprise half way through and the Tarantino -Lite ending.
There's an almost complete lack of sympathy for, or empathy in, almost all of... | 3 |
So, the name of this film came up for an answer in a March 2022 crossword puzzle. "War film, 2010 Best Picture Winner." I have a Masters, am well read, even had 5 of the letters and I'm usually up on the latest trends. But I had to look it up. I was shocked. I had never even heard of this movie. This was the Academy wa... | 5 |
This series is clearly not made for a one time view. Everything is brilliant about this series. Powerful acting+script. Benedict Cumberbatch has got to be one of the best portrayals of Sherlock (I've actually only watched two - Hope you guessed the other one - Deduction). But what even exciting is the build up. Every e... | 9 |
This movie was heavy on action and thin on plot, but I liked what plot there was, the action scenes the interaction among the characters, and the introduction of Spiderman to the ensemble. This was a good entry to the Marvel Comics movie universe. I think the special effects were good, and I loved Stan Lee's cameo.
**... | 8 |
This was at best a 5 episode story. It dragged on mercilessly and had a less than satisfying final episode. Holly's part was just awful after greatness from the Holly of Mr. Mercedes. It's amazing to me that film adaptations of King's books are so lacking. Maybe it's me, but I feel like I wasted 10 hours. | 6 |
Antother Marvel flick and a bad one indeed. CGI is very good. Standard these days but the rest....simply unwatchable. Completely insane story like so many other movies.... | 4 |
I had heard that this comedy was a hilarious must-see. Well, it's probably due to my personal sense of humor, but I didn't find it that funny. Sure, the story is entertaining enough, with some comical situations and characters (I specifically liked the scenes with Russell Brand!), and there were several chuckle-moments... | 6 |
The show is pretty formulaic and hasn't explored much of the lore in 2 seasons unfortunately, especially the daemons. I'm mostly going to keep watching in the hopes that I get to see Peter Knox get murdered. That guy is either a great actor or a horrible person. | 6 |
Agonisingly boring. Watch at your own will!. Had to stop at episode 5 | 5 |
It's not as good as the original, but this isn't unbearable; decent start, good build up, great middle and okay ending.
This one's more character leaning, Janelle Monáe is very entertaining to watch, and all the rest of the cast did not miss a beat. The suspense is weaker, because it is spelled out at middle acts. And... | 8 |
Amazing movie really entertaining.....but it has a very slow first half......and the movie would be quite boring and meaningless if not for its 22 support movies. | 4 |
I am really open to a lot of movies and different genre and it does not have to be a full throttle action/road movie or anything, but this one just was one of the plain boring once.
It started to introduce the characters (which is done in a good way at first) and then they just repeat and repeat over and over useless ... | 3 |
I think is a very good movie that reflects the today's society. Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton are fantastic in this movie as Dominika Egorova, a former ballerina turned spy with a short temper but determine to do everything it takes to get the job done and who cares a lot about her family and Nate and Nate Nash r... | 10 |
A mix of Hancock staring Will Smith and an unanimated version of The Incredibles. Enough said. | 7 |
We only made it 15-20 min in. Maybe we missed an explanation but every talented actor in this film somehow reverts back to freshman year drama club level skills. Even the extras get hit with this sudden curse. I have no idea what they were told but I can't imagine worse direction in a film than whatever they got. Plus ... | 3 |
The sequel to the 2008 Box Office hit does not disappoint.
The only real qualm that I had with the first Iron Man was a weak villain, thankfully the studio corrected that in this iteration of the Iron Man.
Whiplash, Ivan Vanko, stands out as a worthy adversary in both the physical and intellectual field with Tony Sta... | 10 |
Woody Harrelson (Carnage) brings nothing to anything, just his annoying personality. Perfect tool for Carnage. It is all about Woody Harrelson being Woody Harrelson. If you have seen him ranting in Zombieland and the sequel, you know what I mean.
Tom Hardy (Venom) has to be the most over-rated actor in the history of ... | 1 |
Argo (2012)
The preview for "Argo" made me think of a dozen recent political thrillers, and the clichés lined up in my mind to the point I didn't want to see it. Then it won the Golden Globe, and I'm thinking there must be more to this than meets the eye. I wrote this review at first with the rush of having seen a rea... | 7 |
When it released, my page was filled with its reviews stating it was a good movie and it was a huge hit. I got so excited and finally watched but I didn't like the movie. Maybe I expected too much but one thing is true, it is still better that last years movie "Batman v Superman'. That movie, I couldn't watched till en... | 5 |
This movie was anything but scary. I totally think they tried too hard. The previous movies were pretty good, but this one felt like a kids version lol Wanted to love it... definitely disappointed. | 4 |
This is season 3 of True Detective with zero likable characters. There was no fun. No entertainment. No reason to keep watching besides already having invested time in it. Anyone rating this above a 3 is a joke reviewer. | 1 |
Missing some the mahor key elements from the animated one so cant fully call it a remake or like maybe a reimagine. I sure wont watch it again. Impressive special effects though. Least they kept the opening theme song. | 4 |
A story, no doubt, with a good premise - after all, who nowadays won't enjoy a slice of fantasy with a shade of xenophilia? I certainly can say that I do enjoy such things. Well, what a disappointment. Premise may be satisfying, but everything else is terrific. Atmosphere that starts to build up from the beginning of t... | 3 |
1) The original lost in space had a doctor who was mix between Amy Poehler and Hamlet. A trash talking robot, the kid from twilight zone who could melt you with his mind and a handful of forgettables. There was no legacy here and if there was, it wasn't in the characters or story - it was in the setting. This reboot ha... | 7 |
Some stuff like "I got shot in the penis" was just wrong, but the "Racoon not Zombie bite" and "Unicorn Sighting" are very good! They take famous you tube clips, movies, and news and creates a spoof off of them. However I miss the "Bad Luck" skits and "Deal of no Deal" spoofs on Mad TV. The on stage jokes and skits tha... | 10 |
We loved this movie until about 3/4 of the way through when it all fell apart. It was well acted, well directed and the photography was awesome. But 3/4 of the way through the story became so bizarre that we had no idea what the heck was happening anymore. I defy anybody to explain what did happen! | 5 |
No character development en top many hops to different time spans | 1 |
The movie was overall.
"Dil Se," starring Shah Rukh Khan, is a film that left me with mixed feelings and ultimately failed to live up to my expectations. While the movie attempted to explore themes of love and passion, it fell short in delivering a compelling and believable story.
One of the major flaws of "Dil Se" i... | 1 |
Good CQB demo. But lacks reality. Army can hardly be controlled by a drug dealer. | 1 |
It beggars belief that it this day and age they should attempt to get away with such an unrealistic offering. It's so full of basic continuity errors that whoever is responsible for them should struggle to get another job. The story is super shallow and it's an insult to think that people will be won over by the stunts... | 3 |
Outstanding settings, beautifully filmed, two fantastic leads a great supporting cast, atmospheric locations and magic thrown into the mix, I've been captivated from the very first episode. A series worth watching I'll be there for the second and third series too. | 10 |
Lost in Translation was one of those films that the critics adored. It was a quiet and quaint film that delivered an absorbing story without explosions or over drawn out comedic moments. Yes subtle and entertaining....some will find this film slow. Did anyone understand this? The pacing is slow, nothing is forced in an... | 4 |
So disappointed with this title. Can't believe its Christopher Nolans movie. Boring, predictable, repeating scenes, terrible acting. Yeah, real planes and ships but feels so cheap. Plastic windows in buildings in the beginning and Tom Hardys Bane voice again. I'm just after watching Platoon, Saving Private Ryan and Ban... | 2 |
Yet another film from the school of thought that thinks special effects compensate for no plot or character development. At least Keanu isn't given an opportunity to act; that really would have made this film horrendous. Instead, it's an o.k. action film that has its fun effects and its dull moments. Consider it a luke... | 4 |
How can a movie about multiple dimensions, so stunning in 3D, fall so flat? Marvel is losing it. Eternals was stupid and so is Dr. Strange. Maybe this is what happens when shooting movies in COVID times??? The actors are working from home, too. The acting was so dull, the dialog didn't add anything to the story. I foun... | 3 |
2 years after the first movie, Peter Parker (Tobey Mcguire) has never had time with Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) whom has became a model/actress or for class because he's always late because there's always a crime happening at the wrong time. Suddenly his powers fade away which makes him realize that he must give u... | 10 |
I've long found the idea of Batman—a billionaire playboy who dresses as a bat to fight crime—just a little too ridiculous to take seriously (and I guess I'm not alone in that thought, given the cartoonish approach taken with the character in the past); however, after the Clooney-Schwarzeneggar debacle that was Batman a... | 6 |
I've read the reviews - not all but enough. I've heard my friends talk about it. I was curious so even though I wasn't even remotely interested I decided to watch an episode. What I got was..."stranger things."
Wow. This show is so lame. I've heard people say it has the same atmosphere and feel from the 80's. It doesn... | 1 |
A couple of episodes in, I'm struggling to remain interested. It's a lot like Game of Thrones S6/S7; it's a competent production, but it lacks a lot of the intrigue, wit and humor of the first four seasons of that series.
It's also increasingly clear that Martin has a few tropes he comes back to again and again, and H... | 6 |
Can't help but always think of Bewitched!! Love the color details to the reality | 9 |
The other nominees for Best Picture of 1994 were `Pulp Fiction', `Four Weddings and a Funeral', `The Shawshank Redemption' and `Quiz Show'. ANY ONE of these would have been a deserving winner (my personal favourite was probably `Quiz Show'). Yet, of course, the award went to `Forrest Gump'. I took this as a deep person... | 2 |
But, I get it...well played... I haven't been this excited about upcoming episodes in a very long time. | 9 |
This is my third time watching this movie and I finally decided to write a review.This is one such movie that you can go for when your mood is down and you want to watch a feel good movie. RomCom at its best. The lead actress Jun Ji-hyun does a fabulous job in portraying "The Girl". Cha Tae-hyun is funny and fits smoot... | 9 |
The action sequences are still amazing, even though we have the same flaws from the trilogy : ennemies think guns are knives, rushing toward an unarmed John, as if they want to shoot him point blank.
But the action must serve a plot, like in the first movie, or sometimes the second, to a lesser extent. Otherwise, it's... | 4 |
I'm not going to spoil it, just says a few things of the first quarter of the movie: They pass a car through the border with many bullet holes. A nurse records every underground surgery and random happening of a top secret project. Many kids gets thousands in cash just by chance. Bad guys don't shoot but wait to get ki... | 5 |
Season 1's original take on superhero's was a slow grow. It takes a few episodes to get to the down and dirty, but when it does it is great dark comedy. The final episode is a climax with a very happy ending. Season 2 looses all that made Season 1 great, rehashing the same ideas and delving into "serious" romantic rela... | 7 |
Strongly recommended movie to everyone not only for animal lovers to but for everyone who understands the language of love and sacrifice. This movie successfully wins every aspect, be it good story line, perfect emotinal content "na kam na zyada", fine cinematography and direction supported by soothing music.
If you h... | 10 |
While this movie is good enough to use up some time watching, it certainly is not Oscar worthy at all. | 4 |
Anurag Basu hits the home run with LUDO! I am writing this review after seeing the mixed reviews by some film critics and some illiterate people who seem to have no clue about film-making as a medium or as an art form. I hope more and more people watch this film as its entertaining and beautiful to watch. I could only ... | 9 |
This movie was probably relevant in the 70s and may have been a benchmark at the time it was made. Watching it in 2006, I can see how it added to the movie landscape and that effect that it had on subsequent film making.
Some of the film is amazing, but mostly it goes on and on. It is very long, with some of the scene... | 2 |
There are people who are so enamored with JKR and the genre that they will love this movie no matter what. But, the movie was bad. It was more of a JKR indulgence. I went with my daughter, and spending the time with her was the only good part. It is true that the movie does not try to develop characters, it just presum... | 2 |
Well, it does hold the tradition of movies selected for awards that really suck. I went into this expecting a good film but I was disavowed of that notion rapidly. I am not sure what the entertainment industry is trying to accomplish lately other than sanctimonious, social justice crap. This had zero entertainment valu... | 4 |
The storyline of this movie is too real. Acting is also superb. I think, it is a true story. | 8 |
Overall I only started watching this cause it is game of thrones and the first 2 episodes were soft but interesting enough to have me tune back in for episode 3.
I really wish they had less screen time on the King and more time on the crab feeder and the war.
As it stand my only interest is Daemon Targaryen. Who conf... | 7 |
When I was I kid and was waiting in the queue for an epic terrifying rollercoaster I counted how long the ride took and then I knew how long I had to hold on. That same feeling I experienced again when I saw Talk To Me in the cinema! I almost wanted to look at the time. Because I really felt terrified and I wanted that... | 9 |
To start off, due to the settings of the series, many imageries and sounds were already borrowed from existing 80's arts, cultures and clichés.
Then, the endless stream of influences could be a tad too obvious at times - the Terminator, Exorcist, Hellbound, Harry Potter, zombie movies, Twin Peaks, Alien, Koyaanisqatsi... | 7 |
Grace Jones looking chics :) That was your first clue... Don't mess with Grace Jones.
That was cold.
Tough job interview. I'll stick with sweating it out on the whiteboard. I hope this is not how the Brits do it.
Sneakers :) Good movie.
Cool bridge lights.
Smug villain :)
What Bodie and Poot did is coming back to... | 4 |
The new "Shaft" is an improvement that also represents a decrease. Whatever that might now look like (the term is already meaningless), it's not a "blaxploitation" film. It's more like a crudely traditional, amusingly junky badass action comedy made for the megaplex. However, given that the movie shares its title with ... | 6 |
Christopher Nolan has been one of the most influential directors in the past 17 years. Memento, Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight, Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar. All with financial and critical success. Dunkirk is my least favorite. From the technical standpoint movie delivers, but when it c... | 7 |
May be it is because of the 10 out of 10 opening episode that I feel a little disappointed after 4 episodes now. And it is not because of episode 3 because I actually liked that episode, but it was to soon for a background story imo. And now episode 4 also didn't pick up the pace. To be honest it is getting boring...
... | 7 |
Season 3 Episode 1. There is no alp mountains like that in Soviet Union. The Caucasus mountains is the closest and does not look like that. The Ural Mountains is covered by the Taigan, so forrest. Otherwise very good and realistic!

The Marvel Universe has been lacking A LOT as of late having been releasing a round of second rate shows featuring second rate hero's that few fans have ever followed or read about. Wandavision, Falcon and the Winter Soldier have been mediocre at best and Disney has said that these were both hit shows HOWEVER, the view... | 9 |
This film is overrated in my opinion: from the first to the almost last minute every character is only yelling and screeming and there are no interesting dialogues at all. The story is predictable at any time.
Yes, Sandler really does his job great to show a busy jewish guy, but for me it was really hard to watch this... | 2 |
So... after a non-stop run of sequential violence (That's the story line of Marvell), now comes the PC curve, really? Trying to hit the brakes, and do a cerebral attempt at a show, is a noble change up (not really), but doesn't work. it smacks of raw inauthenticity; it's the Marvel style and now a writer wants to be PC... | 5 |
Season 1 was entertaining enough that I looked forward to Season 2. But boy was that a fustercluck. I found myself looking at my phone for Pinterest ideas on Postage Stamp Art -- in the middle of fight scenes! | 7 |
My new favorite series. Great acting, great story line. Definitely recommend to others looking for a fun and entertaining series. Sad to see only three seasons. | 9 |
I clearly remember the premier of the original Lost in Space. Even more I remember talking about it with my little friends the next day while we made spaceship models out of cardboard boxes and other found objects.
Now at 60 years old I just watched the first 2 episodes of the 2018 reboot on a Sunday afternoon. Am I g... | 1 |
