Watching the trailer, I thought no, not interested. But then I read an article in the L.A. Times that put this up as a contender for best picture. So we went and wasted 90 minutes and $35. Don't make the same mistake.
The story is very off-putting, and mixes genres (Satire? Comedy? Tragedy? Farce? Fantasy?) without doing any single one any justice. No, it's not funny. No, it has no message worth looking for. NoNo Rabbit would be a better title.
You should know that the whole movie is shown through the eyes of children. This is almost never a good idea, unless the movie's creator is a genius, which this writer/director is not. Plus, the production quality is so poor that it looks like a couple of kids made it.
With apologies to John Updike, I'd say Rabbit Run! Run away.

Great show, thoroughly enjoyed the first and second seasons. Love all the characters especially, Matthew Goode. So well dressed and passionate. Loved the chemistry between Matthew and Diana. Diana's costumes were fantastic. A little disappointed with season 3 as I expected more action after all the build up and magic training. But it quickly ended with a single bow. Also wanted to see more of a confrontation between Diana and Satu. It was obvious the last season was done in a hurry and wrapped up quickly due to the pandemic. Still I would have loved to watch more, but sadly this was the final season.

Great for spending an evening if you are boring, the movie accomplishes its purpose, the purpose of making you laugh is done perfectly and that is the most important, not the best one but you won't regret it to see it; the plot even is interesting when it gets divided into two different stories that are simply great; the movie is the birth p, ace of multiple legendary memes and that is a point in my book.

Ostensibly a government procedural, bordering on a parody of the self-important histrionics of this genre, 24 tells a much simpler, yet more profound story, against a backdrop of national security with the fate of civilization (and a few political careers) on the line. 24 is about those awful days we all have, that start out bad and just keep getting worse, where nothing seems to go right until the very end, and even then it takes days (the offseason months) to recover.
Jack Bauer, an everyman with top security clearance and a federal badge, personifies the everymen and everywomen in the audience who have had days so terrible they'll never forget. His stories are our stories: betrayal by our friends and coworkers, office politics, bureaucratic nonsense, and all kinds of mishaps designed to thwart us in our fight of the good fight.

I have really enjoyed the Annabelle franchise thus far but clearly they have ran out of original ideas now. The plot was pretty lamentable and it just wasn't scary - not at all. It's a shame as the actors were fine - nothing wrong there but just a lame film and not a patch on the others. I won't worry myself about watching this again. I think even the doll looked bored!

The Martian starts off setting high expectations when group of astronauts from NASA go on a Mars mission and while they're on the surface of the planet the atmosphere goes out of control, strong winds start blowing and a useless piece of debris hits our male lead Damon right in the ribs and he is pushed back by several meters. The rest of the crew assumes him to be dead and return to Earth only to find out after some days that he is still alive. Not only this but he has also managed to grow potatoes on the surface of Mars, (I couldn't imagine doing so if I were a BOTANIST you know) I mean there's an example of going out of your comfort zone (Earth). That aside, the middle scenes are pretty dull and you will find yourself forward-ing very often. There is a parallel mission going on Earth too to keep Damon fed till the next Mars mission is up and running and not to emphasize that a different politics is in progress there also and an astronaut's life on Mars basically depends it. The performances are average, any actor that manages to make any impact would be Jessica Chastain in the role of Martinez. Although the film picks up a little bit towards the end when Damon improvises with his profound knowledge a way to get himself out of a speedy rocket but it isn't too late to realize that you've wasted your precious time watching an economical version of Gravity.

Yeah it's kind of a Captain America rip-off but only because Marvel made the movie version first. We need to remember in that both Captain America and Wonder Woman were created in 1941.
Yeah the story is silly in that she fights an actual god and then there is Ludendorff, what a character, no charisma, which is important if you have loyal followers. But then again the notion of a red faced Nazi as well.

Fantastic series but it could've done with a bit of a back story to make it easier to follow in places.

No matter your view of the 1st season everyone can agree that the controversial topics that it tackled in its first season sparked a national perhaps worldwide debate about these tough topics. But in later Seasons it gets so caught up in its own glory and attempting to relive the debate in the first season that it misses the mark and comes off as preachy while simultaneously distracting you with the characters series of poor choices and lack of any relevant good adult interactions that the series message gets whittled down to "adults bad, useless, and sometimes evil, kids, good, smort, and problem solvers."

This was probably the worst anime I've seen in a while. Boring, full of cliches and worst of all utterly overrated. Maybe my expectations were too high but I didn't like it

Absolutely awful acting, comedy was rubbish, expected a better film from Ryan Reynolds and they need to get rid of the blonde one (number 4) as he is so plain and rubbish. Wish I could get back the time I spent watching it. I beg there isn't a sequel for everyone's sake.

The 80's aren't so much a scene as a character in this show. The town and the kids are almost from a fairy tale that isn't old enough yet to be lore. The first season deals with a boy being stolen and a girl being found. A small group of friends begin to see that their town is gateway to something more. The girls origins are as mysterious as the missing boy, but she is the key to returning him. Soon they have to travel to a place of darkness to save their friend. The first season is scary and sweet. You will feel anger and mistrust towards some characters in the beginning and then end up liking them in the end. The ending is as unpredictable as everything else in this movie. It does get boring at times and the plot wanders, but It is redefining scary shows. The friendship among the young actors brings a ton of chemistry to their characters and elevates a true sense of humanity and what its like to be a kid. I just started season two and its just so great. Watch it. Watch it now.

I'm suprised of how entertaining it was for me since I'm not that much into true crime and I could say it's one of my favourite shows to watch currently. The characters are very interesting and fun to get to know. I would recommend the show especially for those who are into solving mysteries.

Series starts really strong for the first couple episodes and you really do believe you are in for a great series. Then it really slows down, which can be fine but in this case it was pretty boring. Then it starts ramping up with the second last episode being the best in the whole show, just for the ending to be somewhat of a let down. Worth a watch but wouldn't watch again.

There are movies about an event, and there are stories told with the event as a backdrop. For example, Tora Tora Tora was about the Pearl Harbor Attack, while the movie Pearl Harbor is about two men attracted to the same woman... while in the background some ships were sunk.
Dunkirk is a collection of formulatic substories loosly threaded together. Adding to this is that fact that the film is composed in a way that a normal viewer takes a long time to realize that the story is not being told chronologically.
To add insult to injury, the film misses the point that the main hero of this operation was the citizens of the UK, who on their own accord sailed across the channel to rescue soldiers. Furthermore, despite losing their heavy weaponry, rescuing an intact, trained fighting force had a major impact on the war... or at least on the nation's moral.
I felt very much let down by this movie.

With the first seasons, you'll have a great time, then, it's a waste of time. They did not think it through because such a great cast and excellent writers wouldn't have done this. Season 4 Remix is AWFUL and I would rate it 5 Season 5 is a little better so 6 Seasons 1,2,3 deserve a 9 I didn't watch Season 4 so I'll do my best and rate it 7

I thought the movie was interesting in the beginning but now I kinda find it boring. The reason for it is that the movie takes itself quite seriously and combined with plot holes I find it quite hard now to like this movie. I mean the actresses and the actors are good and they are delivering good performances.
It is just the way Batman is portrayed I have a problem with. Because the director made the mistake of trying to say that Batman is Bruce Wayne and not Bruce Wayne is Batman. I mean come on the only real reason for that Batman exists is because of Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne saw his parents get killed in front of his very eyes and not through the eyes of Batman. Bruce Wayne trained to mental and physical perfection as Bruce Wayne not as Batman. Try to say that the real personality is Batman and not Bruce Wayne than you're taking away the whole motivation behind Batman which is Bruce. Batman is just a mask, a split personality of Bruce Wayne's. If Batman was the real personality then Batman is just an i**t in a suit.
About the plot holes there is one major one which annoys me to the point of wanting to you don't wanna know. The one about the scare gas at the end and that secret weapon thingy.
Anyway 6/10.

I really like this movie .Its a masterpiece created by Anurag Basu .There are 4 different character and every one has an individual story and ultimately they were synchronised in a beautiful way by Anurag Basu .

Overall the movie was just disappointing. The story was rushed and pieced together terribly. A lot of the book references they did include were unnecessary with they way they rewrote the story and unsatisfactory for anyone who actually took the time to read the book.

If you ignore the graphical blood scenes, it is watchable but I am sick and tired of the recent fashion of bloody scenes in all the movies and TV these days.

I'm really perplexed by the gushing reviews. Ok, so it was made about a video game? Wasn't that already done before with Resident Evil? The first episode was OK. Good production values. But nothing amazing. Versus other zombie flicks, this one is caused by fungus. That is about as significant as it goes.
As the story progresses in Episode 2, I see nothing surprising. The potty mouthed 14-year old from Episode 1 doesn't stop cursing. Monsters appear sporadically. Lots of walking and such in ruins. Creepy music. Wrecked buildings.
Edit: An entire episode to beardsy gay marriage and euthanasia. And it has nothing to do with the plot, at all. Why?
I'm bored just writing this review because Episode 2 was so boring.

While not my favorite Coen Brothers movie, it would be the film I'd say best represents their work. It has everything one would want in a film; great story, great acting, great cinematography, humor and suspense.
The movie stars William H Macy as a married loser who works as a car salesman at his father in laws dealership. He needs some cash so hires a couple low level criminals Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare to kidnap his wife for a ransom that he's sure his father in law will pay. Macy's Father in Law is rich so he sees it as a victimless crime. Of course thing don't go as planned as people die so enter the pregnant detective Marge Gunderson to investigate. Marge is brilliantly played by Frances McDormand. She's the hokey Minnesota/North Dakota accented stereotype in all the right ways.
One of the best dark comedies of all time and the type of the film that you can watch multiple times without it getting old. Buscemi and McDormand are absolutely wonderful and you will forever associate woodchippers with this film after the first viewing.

First, I love this show. It feels a lot like 'Watchmen' with a Dark Comedy twist to it. It's fun and crazy!
Now, I've seen a lot of Movies and TV series. Sadly, it's much more than the average person. I'm not even sure if Dark Comedy is extreme enough to describe it. There are so many 'over the top' dark moments that are or could be funny, but at the expense or in the wake of extreme graphic brutality.
I'm not saying this is bad, it just is. Film and television go through these kind of evolutionary jumps where something extreme is done and the 'shock and awe' of it creates a new level where it then becomes the new standard. Then Hollywood does what it always does, rinse and repeat, until we become desensitized to this new standard. Think back to the first 'Saw' movie. It was graphic and shocking, but now 20 years of that standard and that same movie seems almost tame. As for rinse and repeat, do I need to bring up 'The Blair Witch Project"?!
This series is awesome and graphic and funny, and funny in the dark recesses in your mind, and fun! It's well worth the watch, but be warned......It's got everything left in! If you are opposed to your kids watching sex, nudity, drugs, graphic gore scenes, language, rape, sexual harassment, video game type violence....you better keep them away. Doubt they'd have nightmares, but it might crack some screws loose. Don't want to end up on the news as a victim of a 12 year olds re-enactment of 'The Boys'!
Can't wait for season 2!

This season was so horrible, it made me write my first IMDB review. The series should have ended at Season 1. Hope they do not go on until it becomes a mess - if it even can become more of a mess.

Was expecting more action in the movie , it was more comedy and less action, kind weird for a venom movie , venom 1 is better than this one .

Here's how the arguments go for liking this movie go: The Godfather is a great movie because it's a hallmark of the genre. While gangster movies before this had been wall-to-wall violence and only loosely strung together by a plot, The Godfather was able to move away from that tradition by having a plot-heavy mobster movie. The performances were all superb and the characters all felt real.
However, what this argument fails to recognize is that the plot moves at such a slow pace that it's difficult to give a damn about it. This is quite honestly the slowest paced movie I've ever seen, and it would have been improved a thousand-fold if an hour or so had been cut. It's not that I hate slow movies--a slow pacing can work brilliantly--but The Godfather? No, it doesn't do it.
As for the cast and performances, they're really not all they're cracked up to be. If indecipherable mumbling is your thing, so be it, and in that case, this movie is the best thing ever. In reality, though, half-mumbled lines don't really do anything for me, and because of that; all the characters seemed to be fairly one-dimensional as a result.
I can see how you could like this movie. On a technical level, it did move away from the traditional three-point lighting which was common in earlier films, and the plot was definitely something other than what had been dealt with in mobster movies before then. But the content of the plot was somewhat devoid of any real interest--or at least it was for me--and the characters came off as being one-dimensional as a result.

Saw this movie in Chinese and loved it. I'm not sure if Americans will get all of the jokes because the subtitles are never as accurate as they should be. I'm sorry to say, I don't think Stephen Chow's movies should be meant for an American audience. There are a lot of Chinese references that Americans won't understand, and they won't be able to appreciate the ingenuity of the plot as much.
Nonetheless, I thought the parodies were hilarious, and the martial arts again is superb. This movie should not be advertised as a sequel to Shaolin Soccer because it really has no relation to it. It is an enjoyable movie by itself.

Now I'm clearly a minority based on the reviewers but that's ok, how is this an 8.9 on IMDB? It was confusing, overly long and repetitive. I'm giving up on these films, same as French Dispatch, rubbish. I cannot work out what it was about and why I paid $20 to watch it.

If you didn't know the title, you might not guess that this is a Captain America movie. It has most of the Avengers in it and seems very much like a direct sequel to Ultron with a bit more focus on Captain America. But since I really liked Ultron, and feel the Captain America movies are the best of the Marvel series, I'm okay with whatever they want to title this.
The movie begins with a big superhero vs. supervillain fight that results in civilian carnage. This isn't unusual in the superhero movie world, but what is unusual is that rather than glossing over this, this movie shows both the distress of the superheroes involved and the trauma of those who lost people in that fight. And that trauma leads to a request that the Avengers register with the United Nations and act under their authority. Some of the Avengers agree to this, like Iron Man, while others, like Captain America, prefer to remain free agents.
What's interesting is that rather than doing something simple, like having this be a plot by bad guys or by putting the superheroes into a bureaucratic nightmare, the movie raises the idea but throws in a big attack before the new agreement can really be implemented. And while for much of the movie it looks like the writers are more on the side of the Libertarian faction, by the end the audience is left to decide for themselves which side is right (I suspect the division line will be a political one involving how you feel about the U.N. in general).
This all sounds pretty weighty, but the movie is actually tremendously fun with a lot of great action. There's a long, amazing superhero vs. superhero fight that absolutely amazing, and the movie has a good sense of humor even as it considers very serious topics.
This is not just good for a Marvel universe movie, this would be good for an X-Men movie.

I will start this off by saying the last two comic book movies that have come out B v. S and Deadpool have disappointed me.Now with that being said lets move onto this one. I have always liked the Captain America movies I think they are the true crown jewel to the MCU (Marvel Comic or character Universe).
Chris Evans does a great job playing the patriotic yet humble Steve "Captain America" Rogers. While we get Robert Downey Jr. back as the egotist Tony Stark.I do not feel that Tony Stark added to much to this film it seems like his snide and ego just get bigger and bigger. He never learns anything about being the douche he is. But, some of the best things that happen in this film are the introduction of T'Challa a.k.a Black Panther I was very excited to see him on the screen this being a character that goes back to my youth.I thought he was treated respect and how wrote and treated the character.
I really do not want to say to much about this movie because I want you to discover it for yourself

Even Black Widow can't save the film on this occasion, her outfits were silly except from her actual one. Whiplash wasn't as bad as people say though. He just fought the wrong hero. I write my own series of stories and my version of Whiplash is a lot more powerful. This Marvel version of Whiplash just doesn't seem to know what's he doing. He caused minor damage and only survived one fight. Justin Hammer was the better man in the situation, bring him back. He can change his ways.
War Machine being introduced was the closest to saving the film but changing his actor was selfish but then it fits into Marvel better than the original one did.
Iron Man 2 is the weakest Marvel film there is. Hulk and Captain America The First Avenger are way better.
Iron Man 3 was better than this.

David Yates is credited for having pushed the Harry Potter franchise down a shallow gutter. The last 2 movies in the series were an average fare compared to the previous versions, but with the new Harry Potter movie, he manages to push it all behind, and he might have just brought the franchise back to its glory again. But be warned, if you proceed to watch this movie without having followed the previous movies, or at least have failed to read the books, then this movie will be clear to you as a person who has just been cast the 'Obliviate' spell (which in HP terms, purges a person's memory). Another piece of advice, this movie is much more mature and darker than the previous movies. What started out as a fantasy for kids has moved to the next level and taken over the mantle of a wholesome movie for all the fans of the franchisee.
As usual, the movie starts with the the group trying to get Harry Potter to safety by flying him out of the Godric's Hollow out of reach of Voldemort and his gang of Death-Eaters. Some breathtaking scenes follow it up where he is escorted to the Burrows with the Death-Eaters and Voldemort trying to take him out. The rest of the movie deals with Harry, Ron and Hermione trying to solve the riddle of finding and destroying the Horcruxes.
The first part of the seventh movie definitely is a bit slow but caters out well as the movie progresses. The action scenes have been perfectly orchestrated, and some of the scenes have been shot extremely well. The first half does well to keep the movie audiences well attended. There is rarely a dull moment, but the problem arises after the interval, when the trio spend most of their time in a tent in the wilderness. This is where the movie starts to drag a little and there are long unnecessary stretches which could have been cut out of the movie to eliminate the extra minutes. But it never fails to let the viewer go with its interesting moments that occur at regular intervals. At 2 hours and 26 minutes, you might feel the movie is a bit long, and yes it is indeed. But its worth it. The screenplay is extremely well handled by Steve Kloves. The best part is how Yates plays with the viewer's emotions, especially during the climax where a thrilling part of the movie takes a wild turn and engulfs you with the other side of emotion that you would have never expected. Nonetheless, the high point of this movie is how well it is set-up for the launch of Part-II of the Deathly Hallows and an exceptionally well done animated sequence about a story of three brothers. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson who started out as kids, have grown out of the shell, and have probably given their best performance yet. (Especially Emma and Rupert). A special mention to Peter Mullan who portrays Yaxley, has a very small part, but plays it out extremely well. There are definitely the let-down moments, but the lead-up to the big finale is definitely exciting. Rating: 7.5/10

So there's Daniel Craig doing a southern accent. why do they think English & Aussie can do American dialects. except for Hugh Laurey doing a generic American accent. Why not hire an A merican, and if needed one who grew up in that dialect. getting past that, the 1st episode was painful. and I forced myself through expecting it can't be this bad. I gave up.

Great show, nice acting, good production value, yet ABSOLUTELY horrible directing and camera work. One of the worst camera works and techniques I've seen in the last few years. Shaky cameras to the point the show is hard to watch. This technique is used by bad, amateur directors to hide various issue. In this case they hiding bad set design in some scenes, amateur extra work and other issues.
In 2022 there's absolute not a single reason to have a shaky camera at all. It just shows the amateur level of directing and lack of budget to afford a proper gear. Steady-cams are dirt cheap...
7/10 for the story 1/10 for directing 1/10 for camerawork.

When he said he was going to "science the s**t out of this" he really meant they were going to "Hollywood the s**t out of it." I was disappointed. The science was a little bit right, just not enough. His attempts to start working immediately on a project that he anticipated to be four years in the future was another incredible impossibility. Not that the attempt was impossible, just that he would or should know they would find him while preparing for the mission and help rather than send them 3200 kilometers from him. The incessant talking to the audience by speaking to the camera was annoying and detracted greatly from the atmosphere. He didn't act like someone in the position he was in, no reality to this movie. Another over-hyped Hollywood film.

The last installment of this Dark Knight trilogy was absolutely disappointing. I found many parts of the film to be laughable at times, especially catwoman.
The action was underwhelming and sub average which the mixers try to cover up with unnecessary loud sound effects. The director of this film isn't a master of action like Michael Bay and it clearly shows.
One of the problems that i also had with this movie is too much unwanted subplots and characters which created constant inter-cutting back and forth and in turn gave me anxiety and I just gave up caring for any of the characters. The twists that were set up with the subplots also didn't pay off for me but came across more of just reasons to cast actors from Inception then creating depth to the story or film.

By it, i mean Oscar worthy.
Like some of the rest here, i did not get it. With so much discussed about metaphors and the likes, I am either not good enough to read it or too casual not to over-read/read into somethings that's not there in the first place.
The movie tries too hard to be clever and it unfortunately ends up alienating people like me who come in hoping it may draw you in like the Shawshank redemption does.
My humble view notwithstanding, my congratulations to the Director for his Oscar win. It's a fabulous nod to Asian Cinema. It doesn't hurt that a ton of people here enjoy it too. That's the beauty of films, some like it some don't.

Sorry folks, I couldn't hang with this one. I like all the actors. I know they do great jobs. But the writing and directing kinda sucked. I never finished watching the DVD. It doesn't help when you already know how the story ends. Who did it? Who cares? They never caught the person. A lot of assumptions made here. I could not get into the first half of the movie. The killings seemed so made up. If they we're based on actual fact, I didn't believe it. The directing is what really lost me. First the movie starts out slow, the actors acted slowly and talked slowly. Could they have drug this out any longer? Then all of a sudden we get flashes of events that pretty much pertain to details in the letters and communications, stuff you want to see. I kept wondering when "Grissom" was going to walk in. Oh that's right this happened in the 70's. Before PC's and cell phones. Maybe that's why the cops seem so retarded. No technology. No education. Equals no suspect. And what about the animal crackers? Did the character have low blood sugar, or did the dog need a reward to get him in the car to do his job? My dog will roll over with out treats. I blame the writing and directing on my lost interest.

How I would grade this movie... Character's A, Plot B, overall C.
I really felt the movie was drawn out far too long. The budget was obviously very good. That being said, I wish they would have spent just a little more and hired someone who knew a little about physics. Mainly with the design of Batman's vehicles, that guy should have been fired! Ridiculous to say the least! I was face palming through the movie on this.
Speeding up fight scenes is something I would expect from the 99 cent bin at walmart not a blockbuster movie.
Though no one stood up to Heath Ledger's role in the last film, the character in this one were great! All in all, I wish I would have waited to see this at home. I will say that the movie ended well.

Maybe mine will be a review quite ironical to the others, but no, i am not writing this kind of review just to simply show off myself as a critic or something. The movie seems as if it was directed by 2 different directors before and after the interval. The movie before the interval is very gripping. 80% of the first half belongs to Gaurav (Aryan Khanna's fan) and he absolutely mesmerizes the audience with the KING KHAN performance. Yes, all the reviews which assert that King khan is back, maybe they talk about the first half. You can see glimpses of the SRK of Darr where he clearly shows he is on the epitome of acting. He proves to everyone why only he is SRK, and no one else can ever be. The interval comes at a very apt time when the perfect tone is set to the movie. You are damn excited about the second half. But the second half spoils the whole movie. It is absolutely unrealistic, too much typical bollywood drama, and it appears a completely different movie. More towards kiddish. While the first half leaves you thrilled because of its realistic approach, the second half spoils the fun by being too much flashy. There are many scene where you would feel, what was the need of this scene? Its completely illogical. Its a must watch, because SRK simply rocks 5-6 scenes in the movie with his awesome acting, but you cant expect too much from the story. And for the many people who say that it is SRK's BEST performance till date, they should go and watch Swades, Kal ho na ho, Chak De India, My name is khan, baazigar, and many more, once again. 4 out of 5 stars for the first half, 1 out of 5 for the second.

Beautifully done and great acting. BUT, the movie has zero plot line which makes it really slow and you just sit there waiting for something to happen. Expected way more, the last 15 minutes was great though but that was it.
You do have to know a lot about Hollywood in the 1960-70 to know and appreciate the references.

This movie will put you to sleep...the music...the story...the acting. The only bright spot was Scarlett Johansson who is starting to develop in to a good actress. But if you want to see Scarlett in a much better movie watch "Girl with a pearl earring" a far more interesting movie made in the same year.
The story centers around 2 Americans in Japan that are developing a slow moving friendship. There are so many slow scenes in this movie that do nothing but allow you to start to nod off. The soundtrack i swear was designed to put you in a coma.
There is NO WAY this movie was the "Best Writing" Oscar of the year. Last Samurai, Cold Mountain and even Finding Nemo were far better writing than this boring waste of time.
You know this is starting to get old. Sofia Coppola makes a barley digestible movie...but because she is sofia coppola...it MUST be a masterpiece. And even if it stinks...well then it is praised for its raw approach and "good try". Virgin Suicides has been the only movie that I would consider a success.
So in short...if you want to see Bill Murray at his best...Watch Groundhog Day. If you want to see Scarlett at her best watch Girl with pearl earring. If you want to see sofia coppolas best...turn off the TV.

Forget the original and focus on the new. Give this a chance there are some hidden gems of interpersonal issues related to all of us worth a thought. Plus lots of action but remember they all survive somehow. The key is for the viewer to guess how before time.

I felt sick after seeing this movie. Not because it was excessively gory (there's less gore here than on prime time television). Not because this was a commercial sell-out like "Panic Room." Because it's just not a very good film made by a one-time great director, David Fincher. It doesn't even feel like any of his other films. Se7en, Fightclub are true classics. But Zodiac just doesn't work . The pacing of the movie is so off that it's nonexistent. The acting is standard. There is no drama, no tension. The only highlight is the cinematography which looks like a moving Robert Bechtle painting. But that's just not enough from a movie that feels every bit as long as it's dull two hours and forty minutes.

Free Guy (2021) begins as a fluffy bit of cinematic nonsense for video-game-addicted adolescents, but around the midpoint decides to get serious and deliver a profound statement, so goes woke and wears its wokeness like an albatross around its neck, weighing it down and distracting from the whimsical nonsense in a painfully obvious manner.
To be certain, there are elements of wokeness from the very beginning. The cast is nearly as diverse as the United Nations General Assembly, to an extent that seems unrealistic, causing cracks in the viewer's willful suspension of disbelief, already stressed by balancing two worlds, one fantastic and the other realistic.
The most obvious concession to wokeness seems to be in casting the female lead, who seems to have been chosen more for what she isn't than for what she is. One can almost imagine the woke casting debate: "She can't be too sexy or too attractive, as we don't want to objectify women. She has a lot of action scenes, but can't be too fit, as she might alienate our female viewers, as two out of three American females are overweight or obese. She's playing opposite Ryan Reynolds, who is forty-four, so has to be age-appropriate." The result is a pleasantly plump auntie, who looks as if she should be selling apple pies in a small-town bakery, rather than battling heavily-armed mercenaries; who dresses frumpy in her character's real life, but chooses a video-game avatar that wears tight leather pants emphasizing an ample booty and a metal breastplate under her shirt to hide any jiggling when she runs. The character is supposed to be an extraordinarily talented programmer, but seems a little slow on the uptake, constantly relying on her male sidekick to bring her up to speed. She doesn't have anything interesting to say, and her only outside interests are ice cream and playground swings. Yet, we're supposed to believe that two handsome guys fall hopelessly in love with her from a distance.
The early scenes offer a cornucopia of state-of-the-art special effects to distract from the nonsensical plot. Impressively, the background is often filled with diverse CGI effects occurring simultaneously. But it quickly grows repetitive, as the filmmakers dig themselves inextricably into a plot hole. They could have explored various themes, such as the meaning of life, or separating fantasies from reality. Instead they throw in a mishmash of half-baked woke talking points. Corporations are evil. Adolescents are really 1960s flower children corrupted by violent video games. Ordinary people have untapped potential, but are dehumanized by corporate employers. Handguns should be outlawed. Sexual orientation is fluid. Men are empowered by the women in their lives.
Perhaps the most promising message is that we should put video games aside and live our lives, but it comes across with all the impact of a potato chip hurled in anger by a petulant toddler.
Despite all the wokeness and ever more spectacular CGI effects, the movie remains mired in a plot hole. To extricate, one character simply abandons the MacGuffin that has driven much of the plot in exchange for something that is later also abandoned. Another character abandons a driving motivation. Everybody in the world abruptly and fundamentally changes preferences for no coherent reason. The villain is smacked down with a deus ex machina plot resolution. The fantasy world seems to devolve from a socialist utopia to a dystopian nightmare with a lot of pretty trees. Along the way, the film patches gaps in the plot by creating unexpected causes and effects in both the real and the fantasy worlds.
Overall, it is a fun movie until it starts to take itself seriously; perhaps best suited to viewing at home while multitasking. Kudos for production values and impressive digital effects. The script fails to take full advantage of a promising premise and the actors seem hamstrung by a script that seems a few re-writes short of completion. Like many recent movies, it kowtows to wokeness at the expense of entertainment value and dramatic impact. Much of the dialogue is probably relevant to adolescent videogame addicts, but meaningless to those who haven't played since Pac-Man was the rage. Like a theme park ride, it's fun for the duration, but doesn't impart any profound insights about life, love, or video gaming.

Sorry to all fans of this, but it quite disappointed me. I prefer the low cost old polish version Wiedzmin and books. This is just Netflix ordinary fantasy adaption, which is ruined in many ways for me. I only continued watching because of Henry Cavill, he did a good job.

I'm surprised by how much I liked this movie because I'm usually not a big fan of satires but this one was really good. As funny and critical as this may be it definitely hit hard with its touching story about the loss of family and dealing with an elderly family member.
In terms of its Oscar nominations it definitely deserved them. It might be a bit ironic but who cares. Jeffery Wright was definitely one of the best preformances of the year. And Sterling K brown, who might not be deserving of a win was phenomenal. I seen a lot of mixed reviews about this movie but I think it deserves every bit of praise it gets and more. 9.5/10.

I think most of the writing is very cliché and very predictable. Most of the acting is good. And I like the funny moments between Sam and Bucky. The show has a good message. Overall, entertaining.

As another reviewer wrote, its like John Wick and COD but I'd say not quite as good as either. Every cliche was met. You will know exactly whats coming every step of the way. They even tried to pretend there was a plot but never even bother to go into it. Maybe they are holing for a sequel. I didnt mind watching it though

Why, oh why, did they pick the mumbling, bumbling, whispering, incomprehensible Mathew McConaughey for this part? Did't they have a speech coach, sound engineer or SOMEONE that could turn his ridiculous inaudible mumblings into actual understandable English?
Thank God the music was great, the story was great and CGI was great.
Maybe one day - in 20 years or so - someone will remake this with a lead actor who doesn't try to talk with a ridiculous unintelligible accent.
Or re-issue this one with subtitles.
Such a shame.

GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY (2022) **1/2 Daniel Craig, Edward Norton, Janelle Monae, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom, Jr., Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista, Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, Noah Segan, Jackie Hoffman, Dallas Roberts, Ethan Hawke, Hugh Grant (Cameos as themselves: Angela Lansbury, Stephen Sondheim, Natasha Lyonne, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Serena Williams) Filmmaker Rian Johnson's follow up to his KNIVES OUT success is a bloated and full of itself pretentious cocktail of one irritating character after another involving a self-absorbed billionaire (Norton) enlisting his close friends for a weekend getaway on his private island for a murder mystery game involving the returning Benoit Blanc (Craig still in Foghorn Leghorn mode) who realizes his host's guests all have real motive to do him in. While the game cast works up a sweat to make their cookie cutter CLUE like characters suspicious beyond belief (Hudson's vapid has been celebrity is indeed a hoot) but the film is crammed with second rate Scooby Doo scenarios that strain preposterousness.

It's as whimsical and entertaining as Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota. The plot and how it unravels kind of reminds me of some of Priyadarshan's Malayalam comedies of the 80s. But this film stands on its own by filling each and every frame with the perfect intention of what it wants to tell. From the title itself, the reference to 70s movies starts and then the film is filled with references even in the most casual dialogues. References in the background shop names and paintings that reflect the situations always keep your eyes engaged while they deliver laugh-out-loud humour.
Huma Qureshi is stunning as the femme fatale, Rajkumar Rao is terrific as a confused guy who's almost as bad as the femme fatale but serves as the one we follow and Radhika Apte is having a blast playing a sassy yet unsettling cop. The twists and turns and some moments of it also reminded me a bit of Andhadhun and both films do share a co-writer and a producer. A few South-Indian touches and a minor cameo were just cherries on top for me.
The songs used throughout the movie, inspired by many classic Bollywood songs from the 70s and 80s make me want to watch a fun movie from that era now.

After seeing these high review scores, I tried watching it. I'm struggling to get through the very first episode.
So far, it's the most clichéd and boring story ever told. Some dystopian future, as is typical for the American cinema (do Americans ever dream of a nice future?). Some brutal military dictatorship. Some system-fighting noble rebels. Some zombies. Yawnnnn.
And all this told slooooowlyyy. As if this slow pace adds any meaning to the shallow tale.
I'm not sure I have the stamina to keep watching this.
It was nice to see Anna Torv again though, I like this actress. 4 stars for Anna. Not sure I like the other two leads, they seem so clichéd I can't engage.
I haven't played the game mind you, so maybe for the original game lovers this story makes more sense.

Hannah Baker - the bullied, the raped, the cyber bullied, the slut shamed, the body shamed and the one blamed for everything that was going wrong with her friends. TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY brought into fore the kind of life high school students live today.
True, the series is based off of a book written by Jay Asher, an American author and is set in the U.S.A but the fact remains that people are the same everywhere. High school kids are the same everywhere. Bullying is a universal theme. Bullying happens at home, at school, at work place and given where "bullying" happens each instance is accordingly assigned a phrase - Abuse, Bullying and Harassment.
Was Hannah Baker a stereotype? Did the show really need to be as graphic as it was? Yes, because this is probably one of the shows that was watched by many kids with their parents and resulted in the start of a conversation. It made teachers realise that they need to up their game. That they need to be present for the kids. That their job as teachers doesn't just end with going into the classroom and belting out knowledge but also requires that they cater to the student's well being. Bullying can be contained if only adults did their job as adults. I guess that's one of the main things we learnt from TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY season 1. This is not a series that should be taken lightly. This is not a series that should be watched lightly. This is not a series that kids should watch by themselves. I would recommend that the parents watch it with their child so that parents get to know exactly how a teenager's life is today. Given the advent of Technology and how far it has taken us and how easy it is to put something on the Internet and destroy someone's life, is something that we have witnessed. Of course we have a lot of people saying that this show wasn't necessary. That there was no mention of Hannah's mental illness that she just took the step out of rage and in doing so romanticized suicide. To all these people I'd like to ask, do you remember Amanda Todd? This is not something that is purely fiction it's in fact reality, the kind of reality we didn't quite see ourselves facing but guess what! We are in the INTERNET era, that's why parents need to sit with the child and watch the show, parents need to learn the reach of internet. We need to learn that kids today are on a different level of stress than when we were as kids. That's where it all begins. Hannah went through a lot - individually, these are incidents that would not push a person over the brink but when all these incidents are looked at 'together' you wouldn't be surprised. As far as complaints about the show not dealing with mental health issues more elaborately - please listen to Hannah's dialogues again. If they don't represent anguish and if her façade fooled you into believing that everything was alright then... ummm... you need to interact more with people. She is objectified, raped, witnesses a rape and is sexually harassed. Would you expect anybody to be emotionally in a good place after all of that? Her friends knew this. She told an adult about this. She was turned away when she sought help. One more argument I keep hearing is that the show portrays women as 'weak'. How? She is not weak because she killed herself. She's strong because she managed to survive until that point. She even did the thing that is expected of her - seek help. Isn't asking for help the poignant sign of "I need to be rescued, I can't fight this alone anymore" ? Now don't say women are weak because they ask for help. Also remember Hannah wasn't an "Adult" she was just a child.
The only thing I agree with though is the portrayal of her suicide in the final episode. It was way too graphic for me. I felt queasy and I don't know how I managed to recover after that. The scene wasn't necessary. Yet, a part of me hoped that if someone who bullies watched that they would take a moment and have an epiphany that they need to stop bullying. That maybe a kid they've been bullying might just take that awful step.
Final point being - watch it. If you have a teenager at home - your child/niece/ nephew/cousin watch it with them. What I learnt is that adults need to do their jobs as adults. Kids need to know the difference between being a snitch and someone who is not a tattle. Everybody has a responsibility. Adults lead by example because kids become their parents.

If you enjoy anacronystic casting and a feminist agenda crowbarred into Victorian setting, you'll love this. I don't, so I didn't.
I thought the acting/casting was dire overall.
It looks lovely - in a Disney version of old England kind of way.
Perfect for 13 year old girls who don't give a toss about authenticity. I'm not and I do.
Utter rubbish.

This series revolves around a girl who committed suicide due to the demoralizing circumstances brought on by select individuals at her school. The storyline is phenomenal , to the point where you feel the pain to yourself. Also the actors did a great job depicting it. Anyway great series to watch.

You might think that a movie that literally sets itself up to play with people's dreams would have a broad vision and try to break through boundaries. But sadly, an engaging start to the film quickly leads to a sense of claustrophobia, as the viewer is forced down an increasingly predictable sequence of action scenes. And while the action is certainly well choreographed and executed, it's nothing that we haven't seen before.
Worse, the run-on exposition by the characters, who are constantly reciting (and then literally re-citing) the Rules of the Inceptionverse, leaves precious little to actually think about. This film is not awful, but it's also far from being the deep and thought-provoking cinematic masterpiece that some viewers would have you believe.
Go in with lower expectations, and you might be less disappointed :-)

It's ironic, really, how Tom Hiddelston as a villain got so much attention and is loved by so many fans that he even got his own TV-series. And then, in his own TV-series, titled after the character's name, they manage to make him a mere side character who has no balls.
Let me start with saying the show started out very well. I liked the style of the TVA, I liked some of the CGI, I liked most of the actors. Owen Wilson a.k.a Mobius does a terrific job. He delivers every line in such an iconic way, it's indredible. The dynamics between him and Loki are great, and by far the best thing about the whole series. Their dialogues are brilliantly written. But WHAT EXACTLY did they do to the God of Mischief? While I enjoyed the *emotional therapy*-scenes with Mobius and the obvious character development, just let him be a badass for once! The series should be called *Sylvie* rather than *Loki*. She was appearantly the most capable of all Lokis and the star of the series. That said, they messed it up in the romance department BADLY. For whatever reason they hinted towards Mobius having a tiny little crush on Loki. -I know you have a soft spot for broken things-, -your favorite Loki-, -he cares about you-, -thank you for the spark- etc. Why did they do that? Just to feed the shippers out there? At the same time they declared Loki bi and made him fall in love with his other female self. You can be damn sure he wouldn't have fallen for a male version! It's weird, to say the least. I never felt the need to see Loki in a relationship, but why not? A nice love story with a woman could have worked very well. A nice love story with a man too, but we all know Disney is not going there. But why his other self? WHY, Marvel, WHY? Not to mention that he has no chemistry with Sylvie. NONE. I felt very uncomfortable watching those two, and I'm honestly amazed that so many people seem to enjoy this *romance*. People ship everything nowadays. The whole thing was so unnecessary and weird. Let him be friends with Mobius and having a sibling-like relationship with Sylvie, so he learns about trusting and loving others (and himself) and we are all happy. And don't change his character too much! The God of Mischief became a little kitten. Tom Hiddelston's performance was borderline cheesy most of the time.
I thought I would rate it with a solid 9, but after this very disappointing and boring finale I will only give it a 6 stars, sorry. I will make it 7 for Owen Wilson's performance. He really nailed it. But come on, Marvel! What were you thinking. I still get chills from this strange romance ... ugh.

When you run out of plot and end up filling it with cameo characters, casting mistakes and product placement, this is the result. Took over 20 separate viewings to struggle through this last season.
Season 1 and somewhat 2, were plot driven with cutey references to the era, where as 3 just played on those same now-tired references without any character/plot development purpose other than keeping all the individual characters "in play".
I feel sorry for the actors who have this as a blemish now. Luckily the kids will grow beyond it, but the adult actors just signed out of the business. One-string-Winona is a good example of that, it's the same scene she's repeating, and after the first lynching of her whining it deafens you out to the plight of her character.
This wasn't worth the extra time to create the new season.

Oh what an act Francis Ford had to follow! Seriously, under-taking a project such as this must've been extremely daunting. After all, the first Godfather film is no easy act to follow. But, Coppola continued to pay attention to his characters and the locations in which he staged them.
Without comparing this to its predecessor it's close to being without flaw. The prequel segments are beautifully done, shot, and staged. The pace is quicker and a lot more happens in this film, but in being the minority -- I don't think it's better than the first film. The parts with young Vito are certainly brilliant and Robert DeNiro gives a powerful performance of an emotionally restrained Vito Corleone.
The music is still good, although not as good as the score from the first. The main theme has changed, and I -- for one, miss it and think there's something seriously wanting about it. Yes, it's beautiful; but I don't believe it compares.
Al Pacino's performance here is un-rivaled, in almost any film. There are 4 pivotal performances I commend ahead of everything -- and that's: Marlon Brando and Al Pacino in The Godfather, Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange, and Robert DeNiro in The Godfather II.
There are so many great moments in this film. Michael confronting Fredo in Cuba, on New Years eve, is my favorite film of the sequel continuation. Otherwise it'd probably be Vito Corleone following Don Fanucci through the roof tops and then waits for him at his apartment. The light flickers on and off lighting up Vito's face and all you see is ice cold menace.
Some film fans like this film without even liking the first one, but I say the first is slightly superior, and only because Marlon Brando's missing and it just doesn't seem like "The Godfather" without him.
A+: A memorable experience.

This had to be one of the worst movies i have ever seen!! i didn't think it was at all funny, and they were 2 most boring acting jobs i've ever seen... i almost fell asleep watching the damn movie.. i don't understand how you people liked this movie, the only part i found semi-funny was when he said i like you people short and sweet, after that the movie went downhill.. i rate this movie -9 out of 10.. don't waste almost 2 hours watching this horrific movie.. someone please tell me what everyone was laughin at? on the dvd cover it says "flat out hilarious" whoever thinks that should be hung from a bridge.. i was in a good mood before watching this movie, and now since the movie is over, i am p***ed off.. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME

This is not a worthy followup of the first movie which had a very good story in its core. This movie had a story which was not that compelling. There were twists and turns which the actors navigated admirably with their superb acting but the story seemed flashy and lacking depth.
On the acting front no complains can be made. The overall making is just okay. The set design was too much in my opinion but I kinda accepted that but presence of 'The painting' seemed too much to me.
The movie is not unpleasant to watch but I will not watch it again. This series has so much potential in my opinion and i hope they will do a better job next time specially in the story front.

The first couple of episodes really had me engaged but since then my interest has lessened. The pace of each episode is rather slow and I just feel that 2 hour episodes each week would have suited the pace of the series better. The romance between the leading characters is already getting tiresome and then there's meeting after meeting between the council members but really there's not much that'sgoing on and by the end of the hour it all feels a bit blah now

15 minutes in the movies, I wasn't sure if I paid for a movie ticket or subsidized luxury vacations for a bunch of movie stars who got bored staying home during covid.
There is absolutely nothing clever, entertaining, funny, pleasant to watch, agreeable to listen to in that movie. Every single choice is a knife in the heart of art and/or entertainment.
At best, this is an advertising for unsustainable lifestyle, from the burnt out influencer to the megalomaniac technosolutionist. At worst, it's just a bunch of outrageously rich people looking for an all inclusive luxury vacation they don't have to pay for, when all of us were in lockdown.
It's a shame and I hate that I will not get my money back or the +2 hours of my life.

This is nothing like the book: it doesn't follow the story and it doesn't have any slow-burning tension that makes you feel constantly on edge.
Instead, the movie takes on a generalized form of the book's plot and turns it into some fast-paced garbage, with hollow characters, and doesn't evoke any suspense.
Also, Sandra's botched face is distracting.
1 star extra is for Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross composing the soundtrack.

Aspiring directors, screenwriters, and producers should take a close look at episode one of year one; it's just about perfect, and I very rarely say that about anything.
From the first moody early morning shot of Oxford University, followed by the intriguing shot of Diana's scull passing under the bridge, the first quality production continues unabated throughout the eight episodes. The photography in particular stands out, with every scene carefully composed and shot to perfection.
The acting is equally well done; I have followed Teresa Palmer's career, from her cheesy early movies right up to the excellent Australian production "Ride Like a Girl," and am delighted that her merely good performances have progressed to excellent in every way. That she is one of the most beautiful creatures ever to exist is a big bonus.
As with all movies and TV, there are things to nitpick. The scene where the Book of Life burns her hand was definitely not in the book, though effective in showing that this is not a normal book. And the scene where she has a drink with her friend Sean and tells him that her parents were murdered in Croatia is plain wrong; the book clearly places that incident in Nigeria.
But, as I said, these are nitpicks inherent in any adaptation of a book (which is also excellent). And since the author of the All Souls Trilogy, Deborah Harkness, is an executive producer, I am inclined to be forgiving on this point.
In sum: Try it, you'll like it!

Producers focused so much on visual effects and getting all the 'stars', that they forgot the important thing; the plot. Almost three unnecessary hours to get to an ending of a 'story' that stayed just as it started.

Good visual effects and a very appropriate modernization of the story and characters. The story is far more realistic and compelling than the 1960s series so many of us fell in love with. Comparing the 2018 version to the 1960s original TV series; the original series seems so dated and the 1960s characters and villains downright comical. The Robot in the 2018 version is an interesting twist. The location of the Jupiter 2 and its predicament on its new world are far more believable and interesting. The Jupiter spacecraft is very believable. The interplay between the characters could use some improvement and Will is too understated as a character but has his moments, but Maureen emerges as a true leader. The story line improves with each episode. The last episode promises a very interesting continuation to the Robinson family adventure. I encourage fans of the original to watch the episodes. Remember it's science fiction. As science fiction, its pretty good. The fact that Judy is Maureen's biracial daughter seems to be a gaff by some reviewers; believing that you can only be married once. Once you understand this, the interplay between the rest of the family, Maureen and her husband is a little more understandable.

Dr. Smith is true to form as a character you love to hate. Like the original character, she's always up to something to thwart the Robinson family. I cant wait to see what happens next.

When we got to the climax and it felt like the movie just breezed by, I immediately added another star to my rating. A short super(anti)hero movie? AMAZING!
Venom: Let There Be Carnage isn't a great movie and has ALL the clichés of most superhero movies, but it was enjoyable. I found myself laughing a lot at Venom's one-liners and again, I enjoyed how SWIFT this movie was. That was refreshing.
Despite some exposition, this is one of those sequels YOU MUST see the first one to understand this universe. And that's too bad. I rated the first one 2/5 stars and didn't care for it much. This is absolutely the better of the two.
Eddie Brock & Co. - or the alien symbiote, Venom - are still fighting over superiority when they have a break-up. Simultaneously, the guy who used to bartend at Cheers turns into both a supervillain and Venom's greatest foe. Will Eddie make up with Venom in time to stop the Carnage?
Yes, this movie has the age-old Superhero trope I hate so dearly: "I don't wanna be a superhero anymore! I quit!" usually found in the second chapter. Superman II did it, The Dark Knight did it, Iron Man 2 did it, hell, Spider-Man 2 did it, just to name a few of hundreds of examples. I hate it with a passion. So, when it happened here, I tried to remain calm. Mercifully, when Venom's on his own, he does have some fantastic and hilarious scenes. This one gets a pass because we hardly ever get to see the other side of this equation. All we usually get is the whiney non-superhero.
That and some of the lazy writing's are probably the most problems of this. Everything else was fine or actually good. No one was terrible and the special effects were 10x better than the original. Recommended.

The filming style and the overall vibe of the show is freaking horrible. Super low budget feel. Like a sharknado kind of show. I was super looking forward to this, and I'm just super bummed now. I'm honestly in shock at how bad this is I don't really understand who they thought that they were making this for. I don't see the target audience. It's not funny it's not overly gruesome. The dialogue is horrible. Acting is bad. They could've turned this into something so cool the storylines for twisted metal weren't all that in-depth they could've taken this and gone any which direction and the only direction they went is straight into the ground.

Loved the first two seasons! Gory, spooky, thrilling and even comical sometimes. The third season was almost a little dull in this 'new' killer but still sparked my interest, however the ending of the series was very confusing and dissapointing. It left alot of loose ends for me, however I would still very much recommend watching it atleast once.

This movie never really gets off the ground, due in large part to one of movie history's most underwhelming doomsday monster, and a cast that goes through the motions from one painfully cliched scene to the next. Never has a supposed horror move ground on so long with such mind-numbing boredom.
Don't believe all the NetFlix generated hype, and spare yourself the pain of watching this want-to-be epic.

First I have to say, I had no idea what this show was going to be about other than the title characters. My husband and I watch basically everything that comes from the MCU so of course we watched the first 3 episodes all at once. I giggled at the many corny silly double entendres which provided levity during my moments of trying to understand what's going on.
I will say I do love the homage to classic TV. As a kid I would watch I Love Lucy, I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched and the Brady Bunch on Nick at Nite (yea this was before tv land haha)...so it's fun to see a modern take on those classics.
Clearly there is something bigger going on and I can't wait to find out what it will be. I plan to keep watching!

This show shouldn't be allowed to exist it's an absolute joke! There is nothing good, funny, interesting or clever in this it's just awful. But hey it has the Marvel label so pretentious fans gonna call this a masterpiece that only intelligent people can get! 25M dollars an episode for this result, 7 minutes of credits...yeah i call that an insult !

Strange long and noicy intro, where you almost cant hear, whats going on because of the intromusic. After 30min i had to turn it off, the way its filmed and the sound, makes the movie feel like a complete b movie. There is just something cheap about this movie, just a shame IT could be better produced.

HINDUPHOBIC propaganda. In the name of crime drama they are targetting one religion and spoiling communal harmony.

It doesn't stand as good, quality TV show. After half a season I can't stand it anymore. As movie this is good story, as TV show it struggle not being some boilerplate done as have being done by every other cheap 100+ episodes TV show about crime, violence or police investigations.
It can't focus on one thing and do it great. It have bad character introduction and it takes time to catch up with the background story of the character. The side characters are terrible distraction and are boring to watch. I was wondering if I watch show about someone called The Punisher or not. The torrent of reviews makes it like is some kind of bad ass 9/10 show, but in reality it's soap action drama that I can rate as 5/10.

If you're a casual movie-goer who's not a fan of reading comics, then sure, this one will hit all your sweet spots. As an enthusiast of comics and its history, it's a hard watch. It's very clear that the writers and producers wanted a movie that features all of Batman's cool moments throughout comics without truly capturing what makes Batman a superhero vs the hyper vigilante we have in this movie and its sequel. Why did no one stop his cringy Bat-voice?
