I always had a hard time choosing between Iron Man, Spider-Man and Moon Knight back when I bought comics. This is a masterful adaptation with Oscar Isaacs and Ethan Hawke, both are at the top of their games. They've done something few other superhero movies have- made it more than just another superhero movie. Looking forward to more, guys!

It's a decent show. I had to give it another try as the first episode is excellent and then it changes into a very slow burn. I gave it another go.
It's not so much about the action but the relationship and the realisation of living in this new world.
It's nothing that hasn't been done before. It's TWD and I stopped watching that as it turned into a repetitive melodrama.
It kept me occupied but it's not something I'd recommend or rave about.
As others have said SKIP episode 7. COMPLETE waste of time.

Look, did I laugh (at times)? Yes.
Is Ryan Reynolds playing Ryan Reynolds charismatic? Big yes.
Did I expect much from the guy that wrote Ready Player One and the guy that wrote Scoob!? Hell no.
If you want to enjoy this movie you have to turn your brain off to a point that you forgot how to breathe. After a while it became tiring just to think how nothing is making any sense even if you know little about video-games and how they work. This movie could take a few lessons from the new Jumanji movies about inner logic in a video-game created world but nope, we are talking about the guy who wrote Ready Player One, so you know what we are dealing with. REFERENCES! It's like a grandpa wrote this, a grandpa who likes the idea of video-games but also a grandpa who is about to die so he doesn't care to learn anything about them.
Lastly, if I was to give this movie an award, I'd give Taika Waititi the award for most obnoxious acting of 2021. Congratulations Taika!

I wish every guy would watch this (with an open mind and heart). It's a brilliant commentary on our society and glimpse into what females so often experience (whether that be a lack of respect, the vague sense of unease/feeling unsafe in everyday situations, etc.).
IMDB has the keywords Comedy, Action, and Fantasy listed, but could have just as easily listed Drama as one of them. And, though I did laugh just a bit, I more often had the beginnings of tears in my eyes.
Margot, Ryan, and America had stellar performances and I thought the whole cast was great. And bravo, Greta, for a wonderful job writing and directing.
Vague spoiler ahead (that won't make sense unless you've seen the movie).
I did knock off one star because, when Barbie has her montage glimpse into what it means to be human, it didn't contain any painful situations. Also, it seemed to me (maybe I missed something) to focus around having kids/having a family... which I thought part of the point of the movie was that you can find your fulfillment/purpose in a variety of ways. But maybe it was just focusing on one person's experience?

It was an OK movie. OK if you knew what to expect from the movie and you got it. The only things I was hoping for were: nice action with good special effects and the movie delivered both of them on really high level. Fighting was really nicely done. I really enjoyed looking how bad guys were flying away after front kicks from Cap Murica. None CA fight scenes were just normal, usual stuff nothing fancy
Were they boring? Really hard to tell but you had this weird feeling that you have seen a lot of that already in your lifetime.
I am not going to say anything about acting as I don't know these actors good enough and probably have seen them only in very similar or same kind of movies.
Movie served me well for something to look at while I was enjoying my frequent meals.
There is one more thing
if we have already mentioned the food
I may as well add that there is so much cheese in this movie that you should be able to fix a nice large pepperoni for your family if you bring some pizza cake along ^_-

This is a decent show in its own right. The acting is decent, the casting is decent, the story is decent, the directing is decent, the writing is decent. There is nothing really bas about this show, there is just nothing great about it.
There are no characters that inspire me to root for them. There are no relationships that are particularly interesting or captivating.
I have found myself fast forwarding at times through episodes just to get to something interesting.
It's almost as though every episode is just a meh episode of a good show. I find myself waiting for the good part that never comes.

...they turned it into a left political st-show. I have to admit, I couldn't believe it took so long. It seems to vary a lot between episodes, so maybe there is still hope. Doubt it though.

I had high hopes for this show when I saw the previews for it but after starting to get to know the characters a bit, there is a big time jump. So much for connecting with the character and the actor playing the part. I had to stop the show and look to see I was watching the next show from the week before. In GOT we watched character grow up, evolve and you could really connect with them and if something tragic happened you were shocked and at times saddened. With this show they could wipe everyone and I wouldn't bat an eye, well except the kind King maybe. Hoping they get some better writers soon. No offense intended writers, but even you have to shake your head at this train wreck.

The Matrix is overrated. Accept it, and move on. Anyway, with that out of the way, my review. The Matrix, which is heralded as a modern masterpiece of action cinema is actually a fun if silly piece of light entertainment. The action is exciting, but it is weighed down by a dull script and endless, boring exposition. The second act is essentially just lots of talking, and exposition, which isn't a great idea when your plot is stupid and your characters one-dimensional, although Keanu Reeves is always fun to watch. The action scenes are extremely slick and stylish, and mostly cgi-less which gives them an edge over modern action scenes. The art design surprised me, as it looked unique if a little Alien inspired. Overall, it was a fun if slightly pretentious and shallow action movie.

Thinly recycled Pleasantville premise barely worthy of a Marvel short, let alone a series. Two episodes in and were no closer to knowing why they're stuck in this reality. How long do they think they can string us along? At this rate we won't find out until the inevitable cliffhanger final-episode.

It's just... Not that interesting...I have to say more words but all I can think of is, "I just don't care what happens to any of these people." Except Hughie, who needs to go be in a show that makes sense.

Henry Cavill, accompanied by the rest of the cast, truly brings his A-game to this show, earning a well-deserved 10-star rating for their performances. However, the script is another story, barely scraping by with a single star. As someone who's delved into the depths of the original books, the alterations made to the storyline are a letdown.
The books presented captivating and artistic scenes which have been oversimplified in the show, rendering them mundane and lacking in creativity. It's the cast's passion for the story, especially Cavill's, that manages to cover up some of these glaring script issues.
The uncertainty looming over the post-third season era, with Cavill's exit, raises concerns. The potential viewer fallout, myself included, could be substantial. Perhaps a reconsideration of the current writing team could put the show back on the path to achieving its full potential. However, I am skeptical about the show ever reverting to its original, intended narrative. It has ventured too far astray and allowed subpar writing to guide it for too long.

This is a very disappointing movie and a waste of time. Most MCU movies wrap up their plot in one film. This is just an excuse to make us watch a second movie, it breaks from MCU traditions, and I won't watch anymore of these films.

While the storyline is fun, the production itself seems only halfhearted for a Marvel Television show.
I feel as though the current evolving plague, currently suffixed with Delta, has had too much influence overall on the presence of the entire crew other than the Actors.
Still it is a welcome addition to the MCU as long as it does not turn out to be a one-subject limited series, which is what worries me the most about it at this late date in the first or only season.

Talk to me is an original horror with a concept so perfectly set for the current climate that it makes it very believable. As a child of North Adelaide I can definitely feel the characters as genuine people I'd meet at High School, Absolute props to the Hayley and Joss characters who in a horror/ thriller film still have some one-liners that'll make you laugh with just the perfect delivery.
The storyline is well thought-out, and you very quickly feel for all characters involved. I loved the way we flip back and fourth in the beginning seeing the possession process from both sides when Daniel has a turn and he sees the spirits for the first time. The lighter scenes give you a chance to get comfy with the possession idea and how it's all fun and games ... until it's not.
The gore and the make up - Holy hell this is done well - for the amount of close ups, and in-camera action you can tell the teams behind this put in a hell of an effort to make sure everything looked as good as it possibly could. The scenes in the bathroom at the hospital defiantly got my stomach turning. And the blood rigs paired with the sound effects and quick pace action make you want to hide behind your blanket.
This film is 100% one to watch and is so far above the current horrors coming out today, its original, it's clever and its down-right scary without relying on jump-scares or gimmicks . I cannot wait to see what the boys do next !

I liked it better than the first one, but I still think it's overrated. It is unfair that Pacino didn't win an Oscar for the role of Michael, because he definitely deserved one.

SRK's one of the finest performances and Bollywood's one of the finest films.
This is what Cinema used to be- Honest, raw and skilful.
The movie is about an NRI who visits India and falls in love with his country.
He chooses to not be in denial and acknowledges what's wrong with the nation and chooses to take the onus to make things better.
This is patriotism at another level.
His character'Mohan Bhargava' is so well written. He is sweet, loveable, sensible, values people and above all is kinder than most of the people out there.
He is one of those characters that makes you believe the world can be a better place.
Kudos to the team!

So far, House of the Dragon is mediocre at best. Casting feels way off the mark across the board, audio mixing is strange and imbalanced, CGI is last-gen and embarrassing, and there wasn't a single compelling or likeable character... except maybe the one who died half way through Ep 1?
You won't find Game of Thrones level artwork or storytelling here. This is AAA ball branded to make you hope it's the big leagues, but it's not remotely close. I hope the series improves in time, and it may, but the pilot was exceedingly underwhelming.
Oh and the makeup, hair, costumes, and sets are well below the GoT standard. Years have passed and yet they create something... worse?

The first episode felt more like a Disney show than a Marvel show.

Without any spoilers, the show's first season is really fresh and interesting but towards the end the charm started to wore out and the second season was downright boring and poor. Another show with a great idea and no clue what to do with it beyond one season. If that's the case, make it a 1-2 season and give it a full closure, not drag it on by all the dirty tricks on the book.

It could have been a little more better. The movie starts off with an impressive first-half having its fun moments and builds a good interest among the spectators. The second-half looked story-less and a mere drag! It was a decent try to build an emotional scene but wasn't a very successful attempt. Good performance by the cast of the film. Saif Ali Khan gives a good funny side to this otherwise boring film with the same regular bollywood story! The screenplay and the sound department didn't really help to keep the spectators interested for the whole movie ! Few of the scenes had no sound effects , No background music for the emotional scenes. A good debut by Diana Penty who plays the role of Meera- The perfect Indian bride very well. Also no one could have played the role of Veronica better than Deepika Padukone. All in all the movie dint live up to the expectations and could have been a little better ! A definite once watch - 6/10 Cheers !

Marvel is coming off quite possibly their best streak of 3 films including Thor Ragnarok, Black Panther, and Infinity War; Ant-Man & the Wasp found itself in a unique situation. Some people thought all it had to do was be fun and present a different tone than what Infinity War did a few months back, others thought it had even more pressure to continue the streak of greatness. For me, I just wanted a good movie that would make me laugh. Because for the most part, that's what the first Ant-Man did.
Sadly, the sequel barely does anything to separate itself from other superhero films or really make a mark in a crowded field of movies. Let's begin with the humor (which is getting a lot of credit for some reason). There are a few characters in this film that are anything but actual humans. They are caricatures that are only there to spout jokes for ever second they are on screen. Randall Park and Michael Pena no longer feel like real people. Walton Goggins (albeit not there for humor) is a completely useless character that is solely there so that the secondary characters can have a brief action "chase" sequence. You never get a true sense of his purpose or motivations. He's just there.
The villain, Ghost, (played by Hannah John-Kamen) looked like an interesting addition in the trailers and has the ability to phase through anything. Her goal in this movie directly relates to a spoiler-ish mission that Ant-Man & the Wasp go on, but there was never once that she had an imposing presence on screen. In fact, there isn't a single character that even feels like an antagonist or a conflict, which is a good reason for why this movie fails.
Evangeline Lilly is incredible in this movie and is a complete 180 from her role in the first film. She actually gets a chance to do something and every second she's on screen is electric. Unfortunately, a lot of that comes at the expense of Paul Rudd as Ant-Man. He's no longer a nifty bada**, but rather a clumsy guy in a suit that's good for a few punches and one too many jokes.
As a whole, the film is easily the worst and most pointless entry into the MCU. There's no reason this film should get more praise simply because its a lighter movie that comes right after Infinity War. Years from now I think people are going to realize that there is just a lack of substance here.
4.0/10

I don't know what it is about this movie that people get so carried away with. I guess being under 20 helps, although I talked to some younger friends who thought the movie to be just as insipid, lame and boring as I did.
I read that people find this movie's complexity to be one of its strong points. This is quite sad since it's about as complex as the basis of your average video game. I guess that same thing has set the standard to determine what is complex today in films and what is not. Complexity in my book has something to do with multiple layers, each with its own intrinsic appreciation, and is recognized rather easily. The effect namely being that when you miss a significant part of the story, like when watching a good detective, you no longer understand what is going on. I must have at least dozed off 3 times during Inception but wasn't even remotely challenged to work something out that wasn't already all too clear about 15 or 20 minutes in.
The characters were unlikable and uninteresting across the board and the same rather goes for the whole of what the movie considers to be its plot. A James Bond type of story arc which doesn't really make the viewer care for it's outcome since such is already pretty clear because Nolan uses the same frigging formula. We got the secret agent, a pretty damsel, a world threat and a plethora of nameless villains with guns, some even on skimobiles! At any given point during ThaT particular scene, I expected a venerable Roger Moore to rush out from behind a snow covered spruce, cunningly herding his chasers into a trap of what appears to be 007's stretchable tie conjoined to and in between two trees.
Inception is nothing more than the next action/chase time-waster laced with the compulsory CGI and endless fake-explanatory dialog as if it was breaking down a match between two chess masters. I found it all way too silly and turned it off 15 minutes before the credits rolled. Another cell phone company commercial stretched into feature film length with some big names attached for a complementary audience who can't tell, and couldn't care less to be able to tell, shït from Shinola.
5/10 for the otherwise competent direction, editing and sublime sound editing.

Visually stunning but the realism of the characters ended up taking the emotion out of the expressions and there was a disconnect

When everything is too much. Too much action, too much gag, too much flashback. It would be quite a good movie, If all these reduced by 30%. The story and the idea would be great, but the implementation... eeh... And the last shock: it is a Michael Bay movie. I love the early movies of him (The Rock, Bad Boys, The Island) . But what happened? I'm really sorry, but this movie was boring.

Just finished watching season 4 and and I read up on it that it was painting the Trump government as Hydra.
Watching it in 2023 and it looks like it's talking about Biden's government or Trudeau's.
The contrast between the two worlds and who's in power really shows how narratives can be sold to the public when you're in control. The world's history shows what crimes have been committed under the guise of the greater good. Agents of Marvel helps us see that our view of the world depends on which lens we choose to look through. We all look at the side we are on as the good guys but the reality is that we are being manipulated to follow the crowd no matter where we live or what show we subscribe to.

The most anticipated movie of the year has arrived, and I'm sorry to say, but at least for this moviegoer, it disappoints. The Dark Knight Rises is such an overly ambitious film that it tries to pack in way more than it can handle. I know I am in the minority here, but by the final hour of the movie all that I really felt was overkill.
This is the capper in Christopher Nolan's trilogy which re-booted the franchise and did indeed make it more respected than it was after the last few Batman films of the 90's. This series has a much darker tone which I always preferred over the lighter fare of other superhero movies like the Spider-Man ones. The dark tone still works well here, but it's hindered by the blown-up storyline. Just as many people observed with Spider-Man 3, there's just too much going on here. It's not that the new characters of Bane and another Catwoman are what bring the film down; it's just that everything is so dragged out in scene after scene. In fact, the re-introduction of Catwoman was one of the things that worked best. I've never been much of a fan of Anne Hathaway, but her scenes were often the best ones. This is a much smarter and slicker Catwoman than we've ever seen before. And that's exactly what you should expect of a character of that name. Maybe a little more of her and less of some other characters would have served the movie well.
Aside from a drawn-out plot about Batman (Christian Bale) being gone for 8 years and Bruce Wayne trying to get his alter-ego mojo back, it seems like the movie tries a little too hard to give ample screen time to all of the other actors as well. It wants to make sure that returning veterans like Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Gary Oldman are properly accounted for along with all the new guys played by Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Matthew Modine, and Anne Hathaway. This results in many unnecessary scenes in my opinion. There's also a little surprise about one of the characters at the end of the film, but it was something I had already figured out at the beginning. And while the primary villain Bane (played by Tom Hardy) is menacing in his physical appearance, it is a little odd that they chose to give him a voice that sounds like an old geezer from England.
All in all, The Dark Knight Rises was just a bit of a letdown for me. It's not that the expectations were so high that they were hard to live up to, but I actually found this Batman film to be the worst in the trilogy. I have noticed that each one of them has a prolonged climax at the end, but this one seemed 3 times as long and I found myself zoning out while trying to stay interested. At 2 hours and 45 minutes, it really just became a movie loaded with a lot of filler. I mean Malcolm X was 35 minutes longer, yet didn't feel nearly as long as this. There's nothing wrong with a lengthy film as long as each of the scenes are interesting or important to the story. In this case, they were not.

This is one of the worst things I have ever seen in my entire life. At first I was excited because the visuals are stunning but the actors and specially the (lack of) plot ruined it for me. I love everything that has to do with space exploration when it's done right. But this Lost in Space installation is just wrong in so many levels, it doesn't do justice to the original. It's like they decided to spit on the legacy of the original. Not to mention the obvious politicization regarding certain aspects that need not be mentioned here, but everyone who watches knows what I'm talking about. I give this 2 out of 10 because I enjoyed the visuals but it certainly deserves less than that. Don't waste your time. This is pathetic.

Don't know if it was good acting or bad acting, but every character in this movie sickened me. Their behaviorisms, their speech, their rationale just drove me insane. Mr. Lundegard (William H. Macy) was a train wreck, the criminals he was dealing with were inept, his father-in-law was a boorish man, his wife was just annoying, and the sheriff was a pregnant Columbo. It's ideal to do a movie about a crime that goes horribly wrong due to lousy criminals, but make it a comedy or something. The attack on Asian-Americans is also not good. This was supposed to be the real deal crime drama type, but these people were so pathetic that I couldn't bear to watch them. And besides that, what possesses a sheepish, meek man like Lundegard to try to pull off such an extravagant crime like have his wife kidnapped? Though I couldn't stand it, somehow I stomached the movie.

Missing it when it was at the cinema and now I've finally got to see Dunkirk, the Christopher Nolan directed was movie about the evacuation of the British Expedition Forces from the shores of France fleeing the advancing German Army. That's the historical context.
The movie is a little disjointed due to the juxtaposition of differing time scales and stories... This does work in creating a build up of tension and gives sense of the magnitude and scale of the rescue mission.
A good film although, a bit too jingoistic for me, but then it would have to be. 7/10

A note for Harry Potter fans, you will not see Harry, Hermione and Ron in Hogwarts anymore. There will be no Quidditch games, Fred and George's shop, love potion problems or even their friends although Neville and Luna appear in small roles. So, "Deathly Hallows: Part 1" is really dark than the previous films and there will be no happy moments. But, the movie will still have some jokes, funny ones to cheer up scenes which are too heart-breaking.

Summer blockbuster season always brings with it at least one big disappointment. This year's comes right up front – and what a disappointment it is. IRON MAN 2 is a classic sequel in the worst sense: we've got more villains, more heroes, more money in the budget, and none of it amounts to an experience that comes even close to that of its predecessor, which stood out in 2008 as smart, effervescent counter-programming in the summer dominated by the dour DARK KNIGHT.
The problems with IRON MAN 2 are bone deep, but they manifest themselves everywhere on the surface. While the first film focused neatly on Tony and his development from careless cad to honorable hero, this sequel gives him nowhere to go, and at some point in the filming/editing, director Jon Favreau must have realized this; hence, his new movie's many secondary characters and subplots receive a disproportionate share of screen time here. Tony is all but discarded as a dynamic character – and it becomes very clear very early that without the original's central arc (and I ain't talking arc reactor, hiyo,) there's really not much novel about this franchise.

So without beating the dead horse that seems to be EVERY reviewers comment... WHY Ellen Page!? I can think of about 50 better actresses they could have chosen. But all that boring, dead eyed, emotionless, hack aside, this series has been a fun, ride al the way through. The soundtrack alone is worth the watch. But the story is great, all the other actors are a joy... I couldn't stop the binge. It was thoroughly entertaining! Loved it!

I had a little list of annoyances I thought they should improve and my grade was to be taken with a grain of salt anyway as I'm familiar with the characters and story from games.
However, the stuff that's wrong with season two will be wrong for anyone who pays attention, irregardless of previous familiarity. There's more done wrong than done right and I feel no need to waste any more of my time listing it out. Plenty of others have done a great job already.

I should have known better. I saw Pulp Fiction, which made no sense. Guess I just don't get Quentin. The only reason I was interested in OUATIH, was Austin Butler. I wanted to see him not as Elvis. I loved him in Elvis and he was okay as Tex. But the rest of the movie, so boring and very strange at the end. My favorite character was Brandy. She was the best. I didn't understand the reason behind dumping the disgusting dog food in her dish. I guess if you are a fan of Tarantino then you'd like this movie, but evidently I am not. Glad I didn't have to pay money to see it. Brad was cool and did deserve his Oscar however.

Lost in space is a series that takes us from a catastrophic environmental disaster in which the family has been in space for quite some time. Lost in space is a remake of a 1960's film, and the film takes place 30 years in the future. The Robinsons is a family that has been chosen to become one of the few to catapult down to a new planet. The Robinsons take us along on a whirlwind adventure through space, time, and family struggles. The plot thickens when the space ship is hit by flaming matter that forces them to land on a remote mountain with little to no resources. This causes a ripple of affects leading with the mother getting injured in landing, and it continues with the space ship sinking under the water. In a last stitch effort, the daughter's swims down to get lifesaving gear. In her attempt to get back to the surface she becomes frozen in the ice. This show is action packed with great acting, plot intensity, and graphical detail.
In my opinion a well-acted television seriously is the pillars to its success. Being able to convey and draw in the viewer is highly important. In this film I believe that the acting was done seamlessly. I was in total believe of these characters family dynamics, and highly immersed in the intensity they conveyed. Even as young actors in this film I truly felt they made me so involved in what was going on. Overall these actors and actresses where very well casted, and I feel they made for a great television series.
Even with the best actors in the business a great show must have an even better plot. The plot is what draws in the reader and keeps them intrigued for seasons to come. I felt that this plot was highly successful. My thoughts on this being that from start to finish in each of the episodes I was in a high intensity. When one problem would start to be resolved something seemingly more dramatic would occur. This made me want to binge watch this television series. Overall the plot was a great success for me, and I am excited to see the remaining of this show unfold.
In a science fiction television series, I find they specifically need to be able to amplify the experience with great graphics. Taking me to a different planet is difficult but making me believe this planet is sure to be an even more difficult situation. I find that I was completely drawn in by this series and found it to be compelling the way they played it out. The portrayal of the family truly took me to a different planer. They took me to a place with peculiar shaped mountains and realistic robotic graphics. From the spaceship to the robot I completely believed in the scenario and found it gratifying. Overall this component was met for me, and I was very impressed.
When laying out what I feel to be imperative for a highly successful science fiction film I truly believe that Lost in Space fit the bill. I was compelled to watching more of this show and found it completely believable. I found the acting to be a true representation of the time in which this series is directed to be. I found that the plot exceeded my expectations for high intensity and well thought out ideas. I found the graphics to not only be believable, but unique and intriguing. I love the action-packed events in each episode that took me for twist and turns. The mixture of serious situations with the later introduced comical relief was a successful combination. I would highly recommend this series to my friends and family and look forward to seeing this series completely unfold into its maximum potential.

The film 'Runaway train' is far better. Unbelievable characters (can you really imagine Denzel Washington being a dull train driver?), laughable dialogue, strange plot holes (like why didn't Frank try to go to the front of the train in the first place and put the brakes on- or even better the driver of the train in front, early in the film?)
Above all; rather dull action sequences, with little tension developing. Can't really think of much more to say but IMDb likes 10 lines, so I'll comment that I'm amazed such films are still being made- It was embarrassing to watch, I think if Id been in the cinema Id have walked. Save money and have a more exciting time train watching.

This movie came as a huge disappointment to me. After seeing previews, reading reviews, and knowing that I love modern war/combat movies, I was excited to finally have a chance to sit and enjoy this film. That chance was stolen from me about 30 minutes in.
At first what seems to be an intriguing and enticing plot, soon turns to rubble. The movies starts well with a large explosion, lots of suspense and a reckless but lovable character. However, each scene after the first large diffusion (on the cover) is poorly executed in delivery, cinematography, and writing. Jeremy Renner's character, while charming and dangerously likable at first, turns out to be very static, and never feels human.
In fact, that is the largest problem with this movie. None of it feels real. The characters provide lackluster performances while operating in unrealistic situations, spouting poorly written dialogue in a plot that leads ultimately to no where. There is suspense in many scenes, and I did feel myself creeping to the edge of the seat. But there are only so many times that you can watch a guy recklessly diffuse a bomb and get excited about it.
I gained nothing from this film. There is no master insight, no knowledge to be gleaned, no lessons learned... except that maybe this years Oscars are going to suck. If a piece like this is getting nominated for best picture then there is something terribly wrong in Hollywood.

I'm being a little mean there, but truly, this was the worst-written movie I've seen in a decade. The brutal misunderstanding of the Venom Symbiote as a brooding puppy rather than a sentient parasite was mistake #1, and the desire to make arguably the bloodiest Marvel series from the 90's into a PG-13 buddy movie was a close 2nd. Hardy should never be allowed to write dialogue again, and as much as it pains me, Andy Serkis should stay from behind the camera after this tragic botch of a classic character.

I'm happy to see the dog has a coat when it is so obviously cold.
She's got potential.
Everyone says "small child"... I think there are very few "large children" but how about a "normal sized child"?
The list of people she is gonna kill is growing.

37 minutes of flashback! Genius (!) story-telling... That is where I should begin. The story is convoluted, so nonsensical and so idiotic that the director of the Last Jedi had to explain everything in a thirty-seven-minute flashback. Otherwise, the whole plot would not make sense, and when it does make sense, it ends with the most idiotic, or Daniel Craig's character Benoit says in the movie, the dumbest way possible.
The plot only moves through coincidences by the way. The murderer, for some reason, forgets his murder, and pretend everything is ok. I am not kidding.
This is just another attempt by the director of the Last Jedi to subvert the audience's expectations.
Don't, just don't.

The historical veracity of the plot is questionable but for Akbar's character (historically accurate), Hrithik's acting is okay at best but his on screen presence as the Emperor of India "feels right". Even Aishwarya as a Hindu Rajput Princess is coherent with expectations. She look stunning highlighted no doubt the wonderfully rich clothes and jewelery and her role as the innocent, doe eyed princess who is not afraid to stand up to the Mughal Emperor. The love story between the two is the highlight of the movie. The beautiful couple and the aura of power help the subtle love story. The ongoing feuds and treachery relegated to the background. The movie is politically aloof and the drama and emotion that could have been evoked from the stereotyped rajput warrior's is lost and even degraded by the plot itself and an attempt to cover multiple potential war-fronts. The battle scenes are shot and cut poorly, the dialog's are interspersed with low class modern Hindi and the songs are totally out of place with the period, except for the background score and Azeem oh Shan Shahenshah. Still a must watch as a film under the genre of romance rather than action.

In the "Golden Age" of great cinema (the 70s) this would not have got a nomination for a best picture Oscar. To-day ?? it actually won B.P. It is the way things are now...progress ..? not at all, just change and in what the studios can get away with. Having said that, 2013 will go down as a weak year for films. Ben Affleck directs well in the easy parts. But Robert Altman would be turning in his grave at the dialogue scenes (particularly those with more than two characters). It is an art that only the great (or very good directors) get right. O.K., its BASED on a true story (big deal). It is like an old 2nd world war movie...the Germans were shown to be stupid. This time its the Iranians. People are calling it clever...and only the Americans could have pulled it off. That is total rubbish. Enjoy this for what it is...a run of the mill adventure flick...and that is all. (Special mention for Alan Arkin, who had ALL the funny one liners...and he delivered them brilliantly). 5% of this movie MAY have been true.

I scoffed at the first Knives Out.
It was poorly structured with dumb scripting and awkward reveals. Sadly this meant the wonderful cinematography and performances got overshadowed.
However, with the second outing - Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery - it seems Rian Johnson has learned from his mistakes, as we are given a much tighter script and story, with well paced reveals and switcheroos.
The writing was steadier, more consistent and far more engaging, this time around complementing the creative strengths of Rian Johnson's vision.
A very quirky outing indeed, with well paced, almost takes-the-p*ss-out-itself comedic timing, that knew when to set the comedy aside for those long reveals.
Unique in it's premise? Not at all. A fun take on an Agatha Christie style outing? Absolutely. I look forward to Mr. Blanc's next mystery!

I gave this show another chance in season 2, I could only take so much self-congratulation until the middle of episode 8 when the mother brags on how genius she is for the 100th time! Being honest, it's a shame they waste this much effort on music, CGI, special effect on a show so shallow of dialogue. One could use this show as a drinking game for how many times a parent brags on how perfect their child is, how stupid an adult oversees the luck of Dr. Smith stumbling through the show, the mother bragging on how much better she is at everything....it makes me sick. The plot holes in this show are so huge one could drive a truck through them, yet the people behind this show almost pull of JJ Abrams tactics to try to action trickery to make you forget about them. I so agree with many other reviews like mine, these guys must also be great judges of sci-fi because the show is not it.

Even if the inside sneer at all the world ugly, still keep a warm hope.The little man comes back, full of joys and sorrows, tears and hardships who knows.In any case, the original intention has not changed.Decades later, when I watched kung fu, whether it was fight scenes, special effects, or jokes, it was still out of date.It's the pinnacle of Chinese action movies in my mind.

I'm telling everyone I know about this show. Season one, IMHO, is better than any of the Marvel shows done on Netflix. While I thought Daredevil and Punisher were good, The Boys blows by them. This show brings elements to Superheroes that is original and fresh and adds a couple spoonfuls of HBO-level maturity. Karl Urban is fantastic as Butcher, couldn't get enough of him and his Spice Girl references! The actor/actress that played Homelander and Starlight are fantastic as well. C'mon Season 2!

The cinephotography was superb, as was the editing. Continuity errors mar the film.
The characters, a semi-literate disturbed ex-grunt, a troubled child hooker and a solipsistic shallow, preppy campaign aide do not grab the attention. Both Cybill Shepard and Jodie Foster to a very good job in limited roles. De Niro manages to combine violent, disturbed, repetitive, banal and boring all in one role.
The scene changes are abrupt. The plot has chaotic jumps, not an arc of drama. Basically a waste of time unless you are into the lower end of imitation cine noir films.

Just got back from a midnight preview of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
In general, I thought it was an alright film- just not quite up to Harry Potter standard or my expectations, either. From the trailer one would expect lots of action; don't get me wrong, there IS action-rather abundantly too, but it feels like they crammed all the edge-of-the- seat, get-your-heart-racing scenes into the trailer, so I didn't feel like there was anything especially surprising about the film. Everything that was anything was in the trailer.
That said, it does stay rather true to the book, certain scenes are almost translated word-to- image on the screen! I suppose certain fans would say 'Bravo, Yates!', but I beg to differ. Because the scenes were so similar, I knew exactly what was coming next and it filled me with a sense of dread, and I couldn't smile, much less laugh, along with the rest of the cinema-goers. (There was a certain scene where this was particularly apparent, but I shan't spoil the fun.) Thus I felt the film lacked the element of surprise; there were few, if at all, new and refreshing interpretations of the seventh book. I do realize it's difficult to interpret a book (especially one as complicated as Harry Potter), but after all- this is Harry Potter, not some half-rate film, so it would have been very nice if the film had been a little more creative while still staying true to the book.
Also, another notable mention would be that many people in the cinema expressed tremendous disgruntlement 'What? It's ending here?' 'What a cliff-hanger!' 'How CAN they stop here' when the movie ended (quite abruptly, in my opinion) with Voldemort. In fact, it felt almost like that scene was deliberately crafted and pushed forward simply to mark the ending of the 'first part', which further added to my personal feelings that the seventh film should have been a mega 4 hour marathon with a no-stops-allowed and no-holds-barred kind of pace. Perhaps this is why the film didn't leave me trembling with tremulous emotion or anything particularly thought-provoking to think about. It just felt like another Harry Potter film- acceptable for the first couple but not quite for the last. (However, I acknowledge that they had to end SOMEWHERE, given that they split the movie into half. Though if they made the decision to separate the parts, the least they could was to make well sure that the ending was satisfactory and not quite nonsensical, in my opinion. Or else keep it as one. Difficult leaps build up immense anticipation-and they didn't quite live up to mine.)
Hats off to you, J.K Rowling; Yates- not bad, but definitely lacking mystique-wise. One has to wonder, has David Yates and the screenwriters lost their steam?
P.S In fact, one would say, the film lacked that spark of 'magic' (pun intended) that the books have in abundance, and unexpected turns of events (which the film conveys too blatantly and in a slightly in-your-face style, in my opinion) are what makes Harry Potter one of the most ingenious series ever written in our time.

It has often been the case with me that movies and events never seem to live up to the hype that I allow myself to be drawn in to. I remember collecting everything I could find that had "Batman Forever" on it before the movie came out, reading the book, listening to the soundtrack, getting all the glasses from McDonald's, etc, making a T-shirt to wear on opening night, then burning the thing shortly after and using the glasses to serve cat food. Complete and total dissapointment was an understatement at the time. Needless to say, I have been cautious since then, trying not to expect too much from any one movie. After all, it's just a movie, right?
It's safe to say that I took a very careful approach to the first Spider-man, trying not to expect too much, but knowing I had high hopes nonetheless. It's almost impossible as a dedicated Evil Dead fan to not want Sam Raimi to do well, to rise to directorial prominance among the Hollywood elite. I can't say this was done with the first movie, but it was pretty darn close; Spider-man was an excellent movie and I expected the same from #2.
To my surprise, Spider-man 2 was not everything I could have imagined; it was more. I was on a roller coaster of emotion from the opening credits to the final spidey slinging sequence.
Writing this, I'm having a hard time trying to think of anything bad in the entire movie. I don't think enough can be said about the action and special effects. The fight sequences were original, fast-paced, and flat-out amazing. The motion was extremely fluid and it was hard to figure out where the actors ended and the cgi began. The story was off-the-charts. Characters were developed in full and the actors executed the roles to perfection (I couldn't imagine anyone else playing any of the characters; casting was meticulous and flawless).
Other reviews will talk about what happened in the movie, the Evil Dead homage paid by Sam Raimi, the crookedness of Kirsten Dunst's teeth, and whatever else they want to talk about. But I'm done, save this last comment: having cried the entire movie because of the sadness, happiness, giddiness, horror, and wonder I experienced during this work of art, I can safely say that it was the greatest movie I have ever seen in my life.
And stop making references to Superman 2.

Another movie I just really really wish I had not seen. So bad on so many levels. As a fan of Venom growing up I'm so disappointed with what they've done. Spiderman has been fantastic and I'm thankful for that but man Venom has not gotten the same treatment. A disgrace to the character and to the comic book anti-hero/villain I grew up idolizing aside Spiderman. Tom Hardy is a great actor but this movie is a dud and so is this iteration of Venom. No respect shown to the source content. No chance of getting my money back.

I am not a MU fanatic. Yes, I've seen the movies, but I didn't watch any of the TV shows or read the comic books. And, while it is probably advantageous to know all of the backstories of the characters, I have thoroughly enjoyed the 8 episodes of WandaVision very much! This is a very interesting and very good show. Like others have said, it took a bit of determination to get through the first few episodes, but sticking with it really paid off. A show is good for many reasons, and WandaVision has all of them. For those who are skeptical about watching, all I can say is that it is totally worth watching. This show is as good as anything else "new" right now. You'll thank me for it later.

A pure tragedy. Maybe, I will watch the last episode again and again. The ending is mind-blowing. I love the starting and the ending much, few episodes in the middle are okayish. But still it was a pretty great journey with "Death Note".

This is probably the most overrated movie of all time. Christopher Nolan doesn't seem to know how to explain something without expository dialog, and it gets really boring once you hear the same thing for a dozen times.
This movie tries to be intelligent but doesn't want to lose the appeal to the masses, and tries to fix that by making sure that everyone understands exactly what is happening, and it made me feel as though I was in a kindergarten class. While it's a gorgeous film with incredible actors, the looks don't make up for the lack of script quality.

I would actually rate this 6.5/10 if I could as a 7 seems a little too generous. Great performances all around. Great premise. Let down by too many clichés. Kids are idiots as per usual. Spotted the crazy one a mile off. People saying it's better than The Quiet Place? Are you broken? That film is phenomenal! This movie is trying to make you think that they want the "monsters" a mystery but they probably couldn't afford the CGI because they blew it all on the birds...... Nonetheless I enjoyed it, bit too long though. But yeah, basically The Happening but better?

Never have I ever seen a movie like this. This directed and written semi-autobiographical movie by Steven Spielberg is one of his best movies... certainly one of the best of this past year. From the lead role to Michelle and Paul, the acting is unbelievable.
This movie portrays the story of a kid's life growing up loving films and his transitions in life that push him into his heart's desire ever since he was little. This movie pushes every emotion throughout your brain while watching. And whether or not you are a film fanatic/lover, you will 100% grow in a deeper love for this art after watching. Highly recommend!!!

contradictory was the first thought to mind with one explanation of someones appearance counteracted by the 2nd episode. the next was its a series of side kicks, from thor/avengers to angel and firefly the best part of this was when it ended, I'm sorry to say, had no decent plot, character development appears to be very óverdone' the big soldier will fall in love with the dodgy girl who hes mean on but has feelings for who will turn around and betray then before having a conscience and staying true to shield for the start of the second (hopefully non existent) season. another new series, Atlantis, not super but much more worth your time may seem harsh but and I'm not for crushing a creators dream but really i don't see this taking off, perhaps if considering this start from episode 4, that way they may have worked out what they are doing by then

When the trailers first appeared on television, I had no interest in ever seeing this film. Then I watched the March 12, 2023 Academy Awards show. When any movie manages to appear so universally loved and wins so many prizes during the awards season, I figure it's worth a couple of hours of my time. I tried watching it today, but couldn't get through much more than the first hour so far. Then I looked up the full synopsis online, trying to make some sense of what was happening on the screen. Okay, I now get the gist of the story, but the movie is all over the place. It felt like I was watching a spinning disco ball that was covered in Post-Its, each with a little piece of the story, and then had to try to mentally organize them all into something. All I achieved was a headache and some ice strain.

Since I follow the artist that gives life to Spider-Gwent I was interested into watch it and see if they used her in a proper way. Well, I found nothing interesting in this cartoon. Nothing special. On one side the base idea is quite intriguing but how is developed is not for adults. And there are some "spider-man" that, in my opinion, are not actually spider-man. What I'm saying is that there are some things that are too much at the edge of the concept of Spider-Man. The real one, I mean.
And the animation is so... squared. Was released in 2018, right?
Conclusion: just a cartoon for kids.

This is a slow burn and raw film about some odd folk in the a state that has few people and a ton of snow and cold in the winter.

Best show can't wait for season two!
The best part is that after they solve one case it's not like waiting for the season 2 for something to happen, it happens the mystery is solved, but there's completely something different happening and than the season is ending, that's what I love about it, it keeps you entertained.

This is the biggest piece of crap I have ever tried to sit through. The story is incongruous and the concept isn't even believable. Not sure where the idea for this waste of money came from, but it isn't even an interesting concept. To think that this is one of the finest films of the early 21st century just shows you what the state of cinema is/was in. I just can't say enough bad things about this very poor picture. I can understand Jim Carrey's involvement in this film, but the rest of the cast should have better sense than this.

All at once. That's my title for this highly overrated film.
First cinematography is good. Editing outstanding. So it's not a cheaply low budget indie.
However the script is a mad lips of anything and everything. The Matrix, Weird Science, Kill Bill, Hidden Dragon, Power Rangers. I could go on but seriously there's a lot of rip offs in this film.
And then there's the Oscar to Jamie Lee Curtis. Seriously...why? There's nothing outstanding or brilliant about her 10 minute role.
I wouldn't recommend this movie to anybody. Some folks might think it's interesting but others not so much. Very bloated overhyped film.

Like what Split was for James McAvoy, Loki is allowing Tom Hidelston to showcase so much of his acting chops! However, this is a 6 episode show that probably only needed 4. It honestly looks like they wrote a show with a good start and finish and are just stretching it to 6 episodes.

Much better than I expected, especially after the first one.
The first Captain America was fine, though not fantastic, and then got ruined right at the end. Given that, and having seen most of the recent superhero / comic-book movies I wasn't expecting much from this. That is was expecting all style, no substance, token plot, wooden performances, lives and dies by action scenes and special effects.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier has the action scenes and special effects, but it has much more than that. Plot is fairly good. Not watertight, but moves along well, mostly makes sense, and has some character development.
Performances are good. The interplay between Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson works and the supporting cast give solid performances.
Overall, an entertaining movie and the best of the Marvel movies.

Daredevil is a Marvel character who lost his ability to see after an accident caused a chemical substance to fall into his eyes, but his other senses were greatly strengthened. He's not as flashy as other Marvel characters, but he's a solid character. He is a character in touch with the public. And like all superheroes, he is someone who tries to protect his city.
As of the first season, the series seemed to me to be more of a preparation episode. The Birth of Daredevil was a season that showed the stages he went through on his way to becoming a superhero. This seemed to me to be a sign that they were better prepared for the second season. He will definitely have more enemies. Stronger ones... I couldn't see much positive in terms of side characters. There are not many people who I can say had a very high quality acting. One character has taken over the series for now. Let's also add his enemy named Wilson Fisk. He also portrayed a very effective character. I am more hopeful for the second season. Enjoy watching.

This show is about aspiring startups and teaches you a couple of things about business with entertainment.
This is the shark tank but from India, so there are some melodramas that's for sure, of which I am not much fan of.

Superbad may look like a typical high-school movie on the cover, but its actually much more. It follows a trio of high-school seniors that decide to have one last party before leaving for college (and one last shot at grabbing a girl). The trio consists of Seth, Evan, and Fogell. They make a likable main cast that is very easy to compare to. Their acting style is ideal for this type of film. Joining them are several other intriguing characters. My favorite were the two police officers, Slater and Michaels. Pretty much every scene with them made me laugh; from their references to other movies to the spoofs on being an officer, its classic slapstick comedy.
The plot is definitely a strong point, unlike many comedies today. Most of the movie follows two distinct plot lines that join up at the end. Inter-weaved in the plot are countless jokes that kept me laughing almost the whole time. The plot itself involves booze, partying, and law enforcement, and somehow works these in to make a very absorbing story. Also, the particularly close friendship between Seth and Evan is an element that surpasses the comedy genre. The plot as a whole has plenty of unrealistic details, but manages to successfully meld comedy with some deeper meaning.
The comedy aspects are some of the best ever. Some of the jokes were a little disgusting (mainly the part about Seth's childhood), but I gotta admit they were hilarious. The beer aspects were pretty cool, and the sexual jokes did their thing. The law enforcement spoofs and McLovin gags were probably my favorite.
The movie as a whole is among the better comedies ever. I liked it more than Knocked Up (7/10). It still suffers from some of the weaknesses inherent in the comedy genre, but has a lot more value than most movies nowadays. Highly recommended for people in high school or college, and also recommended (albeit to a lesser degree) for everyone else.

I was anxious to see this movie since I watched the trailer. Today I went to the cinema and now I'm completely disappointed. The film begins well, lively, but then it becomes boring, slow and predictable. When you go to a movie with a cast like that (Matt Damon, Jude Law, Kate Winslet ,Gwyneth Paltrow and others) you have high expectations, but if the plot is so poor and so little motivating like that, finally you are dissatisfied. I couldn't see any about "thriller" in that boring movie. It's a very strange story, with several character unnecesaries. Really I don't even know why I did't leave the theater. A pity. I don't recommend it.

Season 1 caught my attention and I was hooked. I didn't watch it right away and so was able to watch season 2 not too long after season 1. I thought oh well season 2 must because of the pandemic pause and most shows stumbled coming back. Then season 3 came along and what a load of crap.
How can you have a show called the Witcher and have the Witcher have the least screen time? They might as well have a spinoff called Witchers gang and let them be the spotlight. I heard they did something similar to that and it was horrible so...
They dragged plot points out...The desert was a waste of time. That could have been a 5-10 minute scene. It could have even been introduced as a flashback later in another episode. The "dancing" mystery was bad also and was just a time filler. We saw the same scene was it 5 times but different angles? And Yennifer is getting more annoying the more screen time she gets. She is fine in small bites. The same with Ciri but as they become more of a focus you see how they really aren't that interesting.
I never read the books and only played the games. I thought it was going to be like the game with the focus on the Witcher but that was only in season 1. Season 2 they split the focus and season 3 it was like oh yeah...And here's the Witcher...and moving on to Ciri and Yennifer.
I won't bother with season 4 or if I do it will be after sites I trust review it and if it is a bomb I will skip. It if it passable I will give it a shot.

It's a fun movie,you will probably like to watch it
But a lot of aspects,like the relationship between Carnage and his host,the Venom's moment without Eddie,the Eddie's lover and her boyfriend,have the development bad affected by the small time on screen.
Then,in the movie this happen,and you:"okay,this was fast,but cool",like when suddenly Carnage just happen and say that wants Venom.

Forced myself to watch three episodes based on the AMAAAAAAAAZING reviews here. The "characters" are all defined by mannerisms alone, none of them are interesting in the slightest, including the always-wonderful Robert Sheehan (watch him in Misfits for a real taste of his incredible comic talent, and his true Irish accent). The scripts are pretty awful as well, with trite dialogue that isn't even up to Marvel universe standards of wooden. The direction has strange pacing - the "action" is random and obnoxious and the "drama" is uncompelling and dull. Everything feels draggy and slow, and not in a good way. Nothing builds. Ellen Page is flat and charmless and the rest of the late-20-something cast speaks their dialogue with the dramatic aplomb found in the cheesiest WB teen slop. Too bad Netflix removed the ability to write reviews (because of "lack of interest" - yeah, right) I could've saved hours of my life.

The story is very slow and was just getting going then came episode six. Suddenly they jump ahead 10 years with different actors and the new ones are terrible. I don't know what they were thinking.
All the old plot lines are gone. On top of that writers thought it was a good idea to make the script completely confusing. Feels like you wasted your time on the first 5 episodes as they didn't serve any purpose to the story.
Anyways, I don't know what else to say. It was starting to grow on me then they ruined it. The new actors are terrible compared to the original actresses.
I'm done with this series.

This is what happens when you take the premise of an old television show and redo it the way it deserves to be done. A well-played homage to a cult favorite.
The original series started with a very interesting premise. When ratings began to fail and storylines became unoriginal the producers began to focus on the comic elements of the show. What began on a serious note and was a good show became a farce focusing on the relationships of the young Will Robinson, Dr Smith, and the robot. The comedy trio helped pull ratings back but the show couldn't be taken seriously anymore.
Fast forward to 1998 and we were given yet another cheesy attempt to cash in on the Robinson's. We finally have a show that fulfills the promise that we were given on a new sci-fi drama back in 1965.
The show is beautiful to watch, filmed in Canada. Has a great cast with Emmy and Saturn Award winning alumni. It feels relevant. Especially, in these times - it promises hope.
Storylines are suspenseful while giving room to take in the nuances and enjoy stories play out. I feel the chemistry is great between the characters. Much more so than the original series. We have real people and not just stereotypes.
I hope we have more series. This deserves to be watched.

One of the worst things about this Loki series is how meaningless Loki is to it. A lot of the people who are watching this show are there because of Loki Laufeyson himself. But in this show Loki is nothing like the God of Mischief we knew from the Avengers movie. Where did all the mischief, misleading and mind-numbing plot twists go? Loki contributes nothing to what's happening, is the cause of nothing, and affects nothing. When things constantly happen to your main character, but the character's own actions have zero impact, this is called bad writing. Also the show's overall pacing is inconsistent, with some plots not adding up, like the ending of ep2 was just a loose ending.

A movie directed by Chad Stahelski. The main character (Keanu Reeves) returns to the killing business and kills a lot of people. I must admit that I was expecting a lot from this movie since the first part was genius. And.. I was really disappointed. In the first movie you can see how opponents of John Wick are afraid of him, he is the Legend. And in this part, you can't feel it. It's like another action movie where is a lot of fights, but there is a complete lack of atmosphere from 1st part.

After seeing all the five seasons I can finalky write my review. Second season is my favourite season. The writing of the whole show is incredible and so is the comedy. I am so glad that this is not a show with dumb jokes. The cast is also incredible.
