"Spider-Man 2" (2004) swings effortlessly to the forefront of the superhero genre, solidifying its status as not only the best Spider-Man film but as a pivotal moment in the evolution of superhero storytelling. Directed by Sam Raimi, this sequel transcends the confines of its genre, delivering a narrative that is both ... | 9 |
I thought I can't afford the time to watch episodes about a tale that could be wrapped up in an hour. So I saw this title "Sacred Games" and I thought, the title seems interesting so let's try this for 10 or 15 minutes then reconsider. Surely I watched all the 8 of Sacred Games, each with 30+ minutes without reconsider... | 9 |
This is yet another in quite a few new TV series that I just cannot fathom the level of acclaim and appreciation for. The overall plot is average, and the length of each episode necessitates that the story be told in the slowest possible manner. I can't say I ever enjoyed watching this utter mish mash of madness.
The ... | 4 |
Read the comics, seen season 1 and couldn't wait for season 2. And wow; weider stranger, much much better and parallel to 2020? Yes, yes and yes. The characters get more depth, the Swedes are borrowed from a Coen Brothers movie and the opening scene has a big "WTF is happening". Can't wait for season 3 | 9 |
What... the...???
I absolutely hate this incarnation of whatever this is trying to be.
I loved the original TV series and the 2 movies from the 90s, but since then it constantly seems to fail and this show is no different.
Poor Morticia is beautiful but married to a hideous filthy toothed crime of a man. Wednesday i... | 1 |
For visuals it is fine. However, look at the underlying theme being pushed here. A corporation looking to grow their business, keep people working and they are thus very bad in the eyes of the 2 "heroes" in the plot that want to provide the game for free thus no need to pay for anything. I suppose in that world things ... | 3 |
Oscar's acting and transitions are great, but the Steven character is incredibly annoying at times.
Had such potential to be a good show, but just missed the mark. | 5 |
I saw this first on TV and instantly knew how much potential it has. Summer 2008 ,my friends and I got this on CD and I must say that watching this series is one of the best experiences I have ever had.
Each Episode was well written and i fell in love with all the characters as the story progressed. This show is consi... | 10 |
I'd advise not watching this while slightly distracted by anything. Don't play on your phone, don't talk to your significant other, don't let your mind wander to tasks you need to get to that week. Stare directly at the tv, listening intently, and you may be able to decipher the timeline. | 7 |
Only good thing about this series is its Cinematography. I am not sure about how much of this story is true but from what I have read about this incident its very biased towards some of the characters from the real life and the entire country. The only reason why I watched this series is because of its incredibly high ... | 5 |
The cast works great. There are some extremely hilarious parts on this show...and there are some that are pretty stupid ones but within the world of this show...stupid works very well.
I am definitely looking forward to season 3!
But, its not just goofy fun...there is an actual story to follow. While that path may no... | 8 |
Someone recommended ESSM to me recently. I decided to give it a chance against my better judgment. Having been disappointed with "Adaptation" I had avoided this film. I should have listened to my gut.
This meandering and boring film moves so slowly that it feels like an eternity. Jim Carrey looks lost as he tries to a... | 1 |
I am an enthusiastic amateur historian with a particular interest in World War Two. When I heard this film was being made I was both excited, and apprehensive. I was thrilled that one of the great military evacuations of history was coming to the screen, but worried about how the sheer scope of covering an exodus of ar... | 7 |
Couldn't wait for the movie to end. Unless you like basically unrelated scenes, barely a thread holding a film together and an over the top ending, you can skip this one. Why not throw in a plot? Pacino's character lays out what could have been a plot but no. I knew it was going to be trouble when we watch Brad Pitt dr... | 3 |
Why does everyone like roll their lips inward when they have nothing to say? It's everywhere and it's annoying.
Don't get me started on the mystery here. You can only find it in the genre category this show is associated with. Yeah, okay, it's there in the first 1-2 episodes. I even watched the 3rd episode before givi... | 4 |
I mean, he's got great cheekbones and embodies the character. But let's be real. There's really no reason this got such high ratings. It's just murdering and gore every episode. The story is kind of hard to follow, and it makes for very thin reasons to just add in more of the violence. I find the characters unbelievabl... | 5 |
Wow. Season 1 was a breath of fresh air. While not completely aligned with the book, it complemented it enough to be engaging to me. Season 2 a slight drop but still a show that was engaging - albeit straying from the book more. Season 3 - glaring garbage. I see why Henry wants to leave. The writing is terrible. In fac... | 5 |
I sincerely cannot understand why would someone rate this movie higher than 5 or 6. There were five of us watching the movie - a teenager and the rest between 30 and 40 years old and ALL of us were just waiting for this disappointment to end. A total waist of time. | 3 |
This movie is one of the best comic book movie ever made.
And also the best spider-man movie so far. | 10 |
They tried with dark and brooding and it didn't work. Not because it wasn't cool, but because it wasn't smart, but that's besides the point. DC had made a lighthearted movie about a kid that discovers superpowers and has to use them kindheartedly against a petty all evil villain who only wants death and pain. And if it... | 6 |
I'm not into the whole "completed 101 impossible things before lunch" thing. There is only so much that can happen in a row that's improbable. My suspension of disbelief isn't this good.
Pretty SFX, and Jerry Springer level drama every few seconds it seems. Honestly gets tiring. If everything is high priority (or dram... | 5 |
Watch DREAMSCAPE on Y/T. Made in 1984, the story still holds up. Inception is just a modern re-make. Watch it and see. Larry Anderson. | 5 |
Overall this show is a solid 9/10.
This show just knocks it out of the park with all the pokes at modern pop culture and type the amazing development each and every character gets. Season 3 had some of the best episodes in any comic book show including Daredevil. Bravo to the creators of this show for creating such a ... | 9 |
I'm not sure just how far into "The Wolf of Wall Street" that the realization finally hit me that Martin Scorsese had made this movie before. It's "Goodfellas" with different criminals, and it's not as good. This film is longer, and raunchier -- I wished my soul could take a shower fairly early on -- and while it's cer... | 4 |
A hard hitting series about a group of teenagers and their struggles with life this series will show you the everyday struggles that teenagers go through such as bullying, self harming, suicides and depression this series reduced me to tears with heartbreaking and upsetting scenes. Also some dramatic scenes that will h... | 8 |
Since Hollywood is hosting the Oscars , they have different categories ; ie such as foreign film. Now that is the field this should have been in , and only that. Since The Oscar is intended for the USA not the world. Hollywood needs to rethink giving away the farm. Case in point Slumdog Millionaire , stole the Oscar fr... | 3 |
After several months of hearing how good this film was I was giddy to finally have the opportunity to watch this on Blu Ray, and thankfully the film exceeded my expectations.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is an excellent action espionage film that keeps you glued to your seat but also delivers a message that clo... | 8 |
Russo brothers didn't make a tiny bit of dhaka 😑 Using bunch of green texi and green camouflage army does not mean anything like dhaka. Dhaka doesn't have sandy weather like mexico or Egypt😑 And mainly using those cast from west bengal(part of India) aren't using the same bengali language as Bangladesh Sorry to say r... | 1 |
This is my first review and I wanted this to be about a great movie. I'm from Turkey and sorry for my bad English.
I haven't seen the third movie yet but for now, this movie was better than the first one. Why? Because in this movie we saw the young Vito Corleone's life which was a good subject to curious about. About ... | 10 |
I had already seen this several years ago or so for some reason I didn't review then. I absolutely love the humor throughout it's legendary entertainment that is well deserving of the award wins! Keegan Micheal Key and Jordan Peele are so wonderful throughout in this sketch comedy. I think it's great Jordan Peele becam... | 10 |
Sitting here thing should I watch more of this show.... You go ahead but after three and the third being not what I want in this sort of show, I'm going to watch what the reviews are and It's not good so far. Once they run out of "stick to the storyline" screenplay, this thing is probably going to fall apart.
The sets... | 4 |
I like the series. It's enjoyable, although absolutely every character has daddy issues. The issues get in the way of effective communication, but this is the scriptwriter's mediocre abilities. No one every seems to finish a conversation, and characters are constantly leaving just as someone says, "So-and-so, WAIT!" (W... | 7 |
I watched five or six episodes of the first season, and found this show puzzling. First off, it's a show based on a superhero universe that doesn't have superheroes. Why is that supposed to be interesting? The characters feel generic, although Ming-na is pretty cool. And Clark Gregg is the guy who plays the slightly ri... | 6 |
ATTENTION -- MILD, MILD SPOILERS AHEAD:
We have seen the folks at Marvel go above and beyond to create their universe and we thought long were the days were they'd need to overexplain things to tell a great story. Everything about this show screamed psychic madness, magic extravaganza, fun old TV show callbacks and a ... | 7 |
Once famous Indian director Anurag Kashyap said,' there is more to Indian cinema than just Bollywood. I think regional cinema, specially Tamil and Marathi cinema, are exploring some really bold themes.'
It is a travesty that our knowledge of Indian film industry does not go beyond typical Bollywood "masala" movies whe... | 7 |
Fantastic! Masterpiece! So gripping! Natural! Based on true story hence powerful positive message giving! Nagraj as always you ROCK and you will be a winner in a big way!! | 10 |
I normally like Wes Anderson films but I think I missed something in this one. It had some laughs. | 5 |
I find technology is a double edge sword. Technology has finally caught up to making believable Superhero movies, but at the same time story telling has suffered. I would tell the directors of the new digital age, not to let special effect replace a good story. Thor was visually pleasing (and a bit loud) movie, but I f... | 4 |
Space experience film. The first is a new experience. The audience is another astronaut, such as entering space, floating with the characters. After breaking the constraints of space and gravity, the lens can rotate and drift more freely, such as the eyes of an astronaut floating, which increases the sense of presence.... | 7 |
I watched half of episodes 2 and 3 in the first season, but couldn't get through either of them. I heard this show was supposed to be scary, which is why I tried to get into it. If there there is something scary, then they need to move some of the scary parts to the beginning of the episodes to give me a reason to care... | 1 |
This movie is the most over-rated I have seen in a long time. This movie reminds me about the bad movies from the 80's. It is mildly funny, seemingly based mostly on material from other movies. It tries to combine comedy, action, tragedy and most other genres. I'm not against such combinations in general, but there mus... | 3 |
J.K. Simmons acting as an arrogant dork in Whiplash was bad enough, but now we have this dreadful piece of schlock that never should have happened, with J.K. Simmons acting as an arrogant dork again. The only thing this movie did was make me want to watch some of the stunning musicals of the past half-century, which ar... | 1 |
I searched for "top comedy series on Netflix" and this one came up as #1. That itself is the only funny thing with Arrested Development. Probably the worst thing I've even seen on Netflix. It's lame, stupid, childish and utterly boring. Didn't age well at all. | 1 |
Wednesday is a know-it-all teen brat who plays detective in this high-school drama. With 2 boys being placed as potential romances, but also potential suspects.
In a school of misfits where most misfits look and act like normal people.
Season one had exactly one "iconic scene" which was just a goofy dance.
The show ... | 7 |
There are no spoilers in this review. We know how the whole thing ends or, if you don't, stop reading and get a history book. This film is not the way to learn anyway.
I had high hopes of Dunkirk. People were saying it is a great film. I remain baffled as to why. I did not quite want to walk out of Dunkirk, but I was ... | 2 |
Nothing in this movie seemed to entertain in the traditional sense - so it could be said that there was never a movie like this and probably wont again. Maybe a viewer was hoping for something solid to appear or a touch of reality but this just never happens. It certainly is a very weird way of entertaining someone. Fo... | 2 |
Starring- Chris Evans, Scarlett Johnansson, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Sebastian Stan, Cobie Smulders, Robert Redford, and Samuel L. Jackson

IS IT A FLOP Movie?? But how?????? Really an unique one from SRK💖💖💜 | 10 |
This show essentially captured the cinematic storytelling that Game of Thrones was able to create. The acting is pretty good and the characters by the end of the season are decently established alongside the storyline. It still earns the HBO mark and incorporated some of the adult themes and elements from GOT (nudity, ... | 8 |
Venom is a pretty dumb story where a guy is possessed by a giant alien symbiotic life form. Sony makes terrible movies. | 4 |
This movie is absolutely worst choice to spend quarantine it was definition of Stereotypes with very poor script and lack of creatively in cinematography so i prefer to play call of duty instead of this .i tried hard to find positive items and i think it was the acting of main characters (chris hemsworth and golshifte)... | 3 |
Good series for what ive seen, im up to ep 4 s'1, already bored of the love story between the two main leads, though obviously vital to the plot it just turns it into an adult version of buffy,,its the the rest of the characters that has kept me watching, they are far more interesting and a joy to watch, il continue fo... | 5 |

I saw The First Avenger and was expecting a lot more after seeing IM/IM2/Thor but those movies were just so much better than CA. Same thing happened with The Winter Soldier after seeing The Avengers/IM3/Thor: The Dark World/GOTG. After seeing Age of Ultron and Ant-Man I wasn't really looking forward to seeing Civil War... | 10 |
I love this film. Christian Bale, John David Washington, and Margot Robbie are great individually as well as together. They have palpable chemistry as three close friends who stumble upon a murderous plot to bypass the democratic process and install a dictator in the White House. (Sound familiar?) The lighthearted, com... | 9 |
'Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood' isn't a good film. It's dull, far too long, very baggy, and quite simply a bit boring on the whole. Even in its best scenes, where it's a little more interesting, it's never truly engaging and this is primarily because the whole affair is rather aimless, seeming to not have a real pu... | 4 |
If you had watched all Marvel Movies & think about to watch Marvel TV shows like this. My suggestion pleased don't watch this bored season's. Look like The super hero with no super power. Very Very Bored seasons. If you wait for when fight come and super hero win , than your dream take 13 bored seasons to achieve that.... | 1 |
I have never written reviews for any movie but this one is an exception. I really want everyone to watch this movie and thus the review.. Secret Superstar is the best movie that I've watched this year so far. Actresses Zaira Wasim and Meher Viz have done justice to their characters- Simply phenomenal acting. This movie... | 10 |

Spiderman 2's predecessor set the scale for all of the other modern superhero movies to be made after it- at least for me.
I think that the magic of the Spiderman series is that it is not a "superhero" movie as much as it is a "human" movie. A lot of the time in the first movie was spent developing Peter Parker's char... | 10 |
This has been done so many times, I suppose it's told well but still it just tremendously too long and boring... At the end when the one fellow says "they are all dead, everyone is dead", well he is right... everyone plus the movie was dead. What a snooze fest... | 4 |
I think this show is totally overrated. I wouldn't even call it a fantasy. It is a list of complaints about medieval times. There are women dying in childbirth, after being forced to have a male heir. Without a male heir they won't accept a woman as queen. There is competing claims to the throne as always. A woman can ... | 5 |
What a terribly mindless plot this is!! i admit i aspected more from Ryan Reynolds This in one of few movies that i just give up on and dont watch through :-( if there was zero stars then i would choose to give this movie Zero but i gave it one.I hope that the stars rating will lower for for this movie because i think ... | 1 |
Two stars for the acting, cinematography and sets.
No spoilers -
What I saw is a show with lazy writing. With so many plot holes and impossible scenario's happening I couldn't wrap my head around the stupidity!
Those giving this show such high ratings seem to be overlooking all the unrealistic scenes that take place... | 2 |
Note: this review is being written at about the midway point in the first season.

Zero plot! Endless fighting and not very good I might say! Pointless dialogues! Keanu, man really?? | 2 |
This film has stunning scenery and landscapes. But that is literally the only good thing about it because everything else, and I do mean everything, is terrible. I can only assume that the few positive reviews are from marketing bots or guys who enjoy degradation because any decent human being who has sat through this ... | 1 |
"Barbie" is undoubtedly one of the most enjoyable films I've seen this year and yet it's also the most infuriating. Highly imaginative, (it's got the best pre-credit sequence in years), and laugh-out-loud funny it's got ideas to burn and therein lies the problem. Director and co-writer, (with partner Noah Baumbach), Gr... | 8 |
Red Sparrow is reasonably gripping although it had the irritating habit of awarding Jennifer Lawrence innumerable get out of gaol free cards. I guess that's implied in the story, as she certainly has some aces up her sleeve that the story made clear. However it wouldn't have hurt the timeline not to have her so fast-tr... | 8 |
The new SM movies are too extreme in my opinion. The older ones were more down to earth and more enjoyable. Now, we've used more alien foundations for these movies, and that is too extreme in my opinion. Bring back the old Spider-Man. | 3 |
Only Murders in the Building is fun and entertaining from the start. I caught a review from David Bianculli on Fresh Air just prior to the show's release that grabbed my attention and had me marking the release date on the calendar. His review is spot on. The show is as good as advertised. Those disappointed after expe... | 10 |
This movie proves that animals cannot be personified when CGI is approaching its peak. If enforced, it would be facial paralysis like the animals in the film. Especially when you look at those songs and dances, real animals make human voices...you will feel very uncomfortable. It's a very silly duplication. Because som... | 3 |

I want to start out saying that this is an amazing show and if you are on edge if you should watch Death Note, I would say 100 procent go for it, even if you haven't watched a Japanese anime before, just like I hadn't. You might think that this isn't a show for you, and maybe it ain't, but it sure was for me even if I ... | 9 |
I revisited this recently and was again delighted with it on every level. Frances McDormand plays the police chief, Marge Gunderson, and plays her to perfection down to the flat Scandinavian accent sprinkled with "Ya's". William H. Macey plays the sleazeball car salesman who is in trouble with GMAC for getting loans on... | 9 |
Every thing has been handed to Martin Scorsese on a plate . A fascinating real life story about Jimmy Hoffa which has still not been told . A bunch of actors he always works with but often do better in other films . So what does he do ? Stretches it out and doesn't even explore the history . Massive yawn . Who cares ab... | 5 |

If you are just looking for a fun movie with expertly directed action sequences, wow moments, and beautiful effects, this is the movie for you. If you are the type of person who cannot help but analyze every movie you see, Ready Player One will cause you some problems.

I had high hopes for this film but I was a bit let down. The story is great and so is the acting. In fact if it weren't for Johnny Depp's excellently done character then I wouldn't even recommend the movie at all. The biggest problem (and it's a big one indeed) is that this movie is really slow in spots. If they would ... | 6 |
This one of those movies that you will find yourself snorting a short laugh, then a solid belly laugh, and cycle through this process many times during the movie. This is one of those rare movies where every character adds to the whole vibe and you are rooting for everyone to prosper! My god, Mila and Kristen are so da... | 10 |
Considering that J.C. Chandor's film is called A Most Violent Year there is very little violence and the film is so slow the passage of time is undetectable.

It is a great anime it has comedy action and emotional all at the same people who r looking new anime to start I would recommend this anime. | 9 |
Script writing is superb which is a general trait of TVF production.
BUT this time acting is somewhat below par as per tvf standards otherwise 10/10. | 8 |
I love this show. I have just finished season 3 and loved it. There is that beautiful mix of drama, suspense and intrigue. Those who dislike Ani emerging miss the point. With Hannah gone the audience needs a narrator from time to time to jel the story line. I loved every episode and am happy to give a 9 out of 10 | 9 |
Batman Begins is one of IMDBs most overrated movies. Don't get me wrong, its still a great movie, and its definitely the best Batman movie out there. But it has nothing to do with IMDBs Top 250, and sure not with the Top 100 ... It COULD have been if the whole movie would have been as great as the first half of it, but... | 6 |
I did not like this film as there is no comical relationship as we saw in the television shows.
Tom Wilkinson gives a wonderful performance as a mobster. His Brooklyn accent is memorable.
The beginning of the film was rather boring as we get into the story. Nonetheless, the tragic death of our hero's parents was vivi... | 5 |

Take a bit from "Men in Black" (leave the humor out) something from "Last Man Standing" (leave good acting out) from "Twelve Monkeys" (leave real suffering and compassion out) and take half a dozen other ones (like some "Martial Arts") mix it and get a block buster. Hey, add a deep philosophical idea like that maybe ev... | 2 |
If you are a person who loves the country most and who would like to do something to the country this is definitely a good movie to get encouraged.

I've watched this sequel more than a hundred times. Alfred Molina is great as Doctor Octopus. There was one scene that became intense and violent. It's just like the Evil Dead franchise because Sam got the inspiration from his brother, Ted. What can I say about Danny Elfman's composing to this sequel? Awesome and cool.... | 10 |
First season was brilliant. Full and complex story, many characters well defined, very good acting. The second season had a simpler story, simple action, few characters and at times it seemed that they tried to fill the time with histrical flashbacks so that they cam complete 6 episodes. It seems that the writers had c... | 6 |
Seriously Spielberg has become very lazy. I read some of the reviews, they have been very generous with this film.
Main actor, he's good, been in a few things, was pretty good in Mudd. The story is so weak. The narcissist who creates a computer world that only cool hipster kids can truely identify with. Let's face it,... | 2 |
It's kind of a mixture of LOST and The Walking Dead. I didn't get the sense that there was some big political message or anything like that. It was just a tripped out science fiction story and I liked it. | 7 |
I'm a sucker for a good war epic. This film was certainly long enough to be considered an 'epic'. Unfortunately, there just isn't much to write about '1917' (2019). The casting was fine, but there were no great performances. As a matter of fact, no one really says much throughout the film. The underdeveloped characters... | 7 |
The Coen brothers really deliver this time with Fargo, a murder story with quirky overtones and a flawless script that really sells the character interaction in an otherworld reality of sorts. Don't write the acting off for no 'big names', the actors all play their roles to perfection and sell the script with their exc... | 9 |
I didn't find the movie so interesting. It felt like Mr. Bong was so confused about how to end the movie. The story ran so fast and the household shown was extra ordinary naive, which is also abnormal as a such big businessman.
I couldn't break the 2 inch boundary of subtitle too. But this movie could be better. | 6 |
