I happened upon this show accidentally, and when I saw all of the 10-star reviews, I thought I happened upon a masterpiece. The first episode was good, but it still had me on the fence. That one scene where things happen in reverse put me off and made me rethink my expectations of the show, and the second episode quickly ruined it altogether. It isn't funny to me, and the dialogue and character dynamics come out as awkward... I see too much of the actors in their characters and lines (and the delivery of them). The little amount of originality within them that's left is boring.
I might continue casually watching it.. If my current opinion changes, I'll make an edit. If not, I'd recommend sitting out on this one.

The story was sad and the plot was sometimes boring because of its length.

I've read the first book and played the last game. After watching the series, I have no idea why anyone's supposed to be interested in the series. The storyline doesn't make much sense, the acting is wooden and there's too many scenes where nothing is actually happening, you're just watching something in slow motion and listening to some annoying music. Yennefer is so boring and just takes her clothes off for no reason, Geralt says F all the time and Ciri doesn't really do anything. I really want to like it but I can't.

maybe people enjoy this movie because they have never seen a crime or dark comedy film but this movie does justice to neither genre. it pales in comparison to the other two coen brothers films ive seen, the big lebowski and o brother where art thou. At first you think it is a drama, then a comedy but whatever it is it isnt a very good one of either. i guess what im trying to say is that this movie is nothing special, something that i or one of my friends could write and i am completely baffled as to why it was so critically acclaimed. the only thing i can guess is that everyone jumped on the bandwagon with this one.. frances mcdormand is good and the jokes about minnesotans are funny at first but they wear out fast. i would pass on this one if i were you
also, after surfing rottentomatoes i noticed that many of the same critics who panned fight club for having gratuitous violence raved the hell out of this one which in my opinion has lots of unnecessary scenes with sex and violence. go figure...

You should watch it once, it will fresh your mind. What a master piece created. Regional films are much ahead of Hollywood and Bollywood.

Well, if there's something I've gotta say about Bhaag Milkha Bhaag in just one line, 'It's a must-watch'!! personal opinion!!
Farhan at his best. Phenomenal performance.Extremely deep, emotional, and very much inspiring!! I can vouch for this fact, every person who's behind the movie has put in his/her best!! And now I say, Farhan Akhtar is one of the best actors we have around! undoubtedly!! It's just nearly a flawless movie. Again, when it comes too movies, it's all about perceptions and interpretations!!Shankar Ehsaan Loy have come up with their magic again.Was truly satisfied and recommend this movie to all walks of life.

Nothing we haven't all seen before. And some actions made no sense. English and Australian actors murdered the "American" accents. If you want American accents, hire American actors-and hire some who can actually act!
Scenery was lovely-story was boring and formulaic-acting was, quite simply, dire (painful, in fact). The scenery gets a 5.

31 December 2016. Most of the time, more and more and bigger and louder doesn't often result in better. This Captain America somehow manages to assemble a lot of superhero action into one movie and make it into one totality of an experience in diversity and style and cinematography that explodes on the screen. At the same time, somehow the director is able to retain a sense of individuality and focus on a few superhero characters so that a major theme of a morality play between individuality and centralized, governmental public interest is retained. This movie may be the ultimate limit to how far a superhero ensemble can go before it becomes a helpless confused mess. Even the ultimate explanation and motivation of this convoluted manufactured conflict reveals a deeply tortured emotional underpinning, unlike most other super epics recently shown. In sum, Civil War is rather unique in standing out of the crowd with its ability to balance its many characters while retaining an intimate and personal storyline.

Can't say I was ever a fan of Wonder Woman but then again I'm not a fan of DCU in general with the exception of Batman (hated the atrocious embodiment by Ben Affleck though). Given that I thoroughly hated the new Superman movies as well as the awful Superman vs Batman ... whatever that was, I still decided to give WW a shot ... and I was pleasantly surprised for the most part.
Wonder Woman puts all other recent DC movies to shame through a nice character introduction and the build-up, though predictable (well, it's a comics inspired movie after all) it's well supported by Pine and Gadot and once their little band comes together, Taghmaoui also gets a piece of spotlight. Several in fact.
I was half expecting to dread the WWI background but instead I found it refreshing. Marvel's Captain American went on for WWII, a decision saved by keeping the war in the background. Here it serves as a vehicle for the discovery of humanity, as shallow as it may be.
There's plenty to like in the movie, the fighting scenes are decently choreographed, the soundtrack is great, the characters are expectedly one-dimensional.
On the downside: - the editing keeps the movie from being a blast. At one point, the group who met WW couple of days ago and barely exchanged words somehow find it to give her a boost the same way she was trained as a child. I bet somewhere there's a scene that would've explained that moment - the nonsense about love and humanity that Gadot is made to spew at the very end basically wrecks the entire character buildup - David Thewlis is completely miscast. His appearance in armour is ridiculous (seriously, professor Lupin as a full fledged action hero??), at one point he's without helmet and the mustache complements the armour like a dog flea complements a cup of Earl Grey. - the movie takes itself much to seriously and I do take into account that the few bits of humour revolve around a formerly isolated person who gets updated on to the current state of things. It does pull a few laughs but not nearly enough.

Having recently bought the box set of all the old Planet of the apes movies i couldn't believe how they had dated and how bad ( apart from the 1st) these films really were. Tim Burton tries to address this a few years ago by doing a remake but let's face it - It's Tim Burton , so it didn't quite work .
Rise of The Planet of The Apes is the first of the movies that uses CGI instead of men in suits and because of that , this is probably the best POTA film that has been made to date.
I wasn't too sure when i started watching this film if the CGI was really good enough. The scenes of the young Caesar are a little bit Pixar but you soon get used to it .
The story is a simple one , not unlike the original and is easy to follow . The acting is OK and even the usual wooden Freida Pinto manages to get her lines out OK.
There are some criticisms though. This is a little sugar coated at times. It would have been better if audience were more in side of the apes maybe by showing how they were experimented and i wasn't too sure about the final scenes of The Golden Gate Bridge .
This film is fun without being a masterpiece and unsurprisingly it's all set up for a sequel which i look forward to seeing.

To be fully honest, I had initial doubts and a lack of interest in seeing this film. It didn't seem like something I would enjoy.
To my surprise, I was touched. Barbie is so empowering and Greta Gerwig truly outdid herself with the cast, sets, feel of the film as well as all the little details that made the scenes come together to create a beautiful story.
The bright colours of the sets and wardrobe really made the movie what it is..alive and full of warmth, compassion and encouragement. The WOMEN EMPOWERMENT in this film is like no other as it really does capture what Barbie is all about.
The dolls children play with have a much deeper value than I ever thought possible as one can truly be anything with Barbie. There are so many little details in the film that made this come alive.
Barbie is an incredible film, touching and empowering, loving and brave. I am so proud to be a women and this film has only strengthened that self respect and love.
I truly believe this film can change so many view points on various topics and am excited to see where this brings society.
Thank you, Barbie <3.

This is surely one of the most overrated movie EVER . Critics said that this movie will " take your breath away " ( or one of the most intense movie ever ) that year. But for me , this movie is not intense at all , since we all know that the main character will still alive until the end of the movie . That's not spoiler , that is A General Knowledge . But , this is just my opinion. ....

The highlight point of the film extraction is the nearly 10-minute dual fight between Chris Hemsworth and Randeep Hooda. This uncut scene also takes the action scenes of extraction to a new height, and you want to see it again and again.
The story goes like this that Mahajan's son Ovi, the mafia leader of India, takes his rival Ovi to Bangladesh.
Tyler Rake reaches Dhaka to remove this child from the clutches of criminals and lays a pile of corpses.
This is what starts with guns, helicopters, trains, and human explosions that last.
The film lacks emotion. The film could have been even better if the emotional track had been better in the movie, but those who could not evoke emotions while writing the Russo script. However, there is a lot of action.
The story of the film is not that fun, but its action makes it worth watching.
In terms of acting, the film is a film by Chris Hemsworth and Randeep Hooda. Both of them have given each other a competition; they have also done a collision.
But both the characters are weak, just because of the script of the film. Rudraksha's acting is excellent.
Priyanshu Painyuli has become the mafia leader of Bangladesh. His acting is the best, but his character is written so poorly that he does not do anything.
Pankaj Tripathi's screen space is also limited to just one scene in jail. Golshifat Farhani, David Harbor, and Chris Jai Alex come for a little bit of fear.
From this film, you have high hopes for action, as it is directed by Sam Hargrave, who has been the stunt director of films like 'Captain America: Civil War,' 'Avengers: Endgame.'
Hargrave's direction style favors close-range clash and bust-up. He weaves in and around the action with Wild Fluid hand-held cameras, increasing speed and creating a feeling of being caught amid hyper-violent going-on to the viewer.
If you leave the story and if you focus only on the action, then this film should not be missed because such action films will not come again and again.

I enjoyed the show a lot especially the first two seasons the third season was probably the worst but I still enjoyed it. But it didn't have much action and it too many dance scenes + a lot of strange decisions with the plot.

The movie is ok, but not sensational or exceptionally good and yes, it takes too long.
You have to fight through it.

American Pie meets Jackass in a head-on collision of gross, badly scripted and poorly acted scenes that have no right to be called a movie. This dire waste of celluloid is an insult to audiences, a cynical attempt to produce a formulaic teen comedy which steals ideas from a hundred films that have done it before, and done it a hundred times better.
This is one of the lamest and least funny comedies I have ever seen. Just thinking about it makes me grind my teeth. It's not slapstick, it's not witty, and certainly not intelligent. It's just crude, drunken school-boyish prank-based nonsense that should stay in the minds of drunken schoolboys. Shame on all who took part.

For me the 2nd episode is the best. The 1st, 4th, 5th and 8th I also loved. Everything else though is mediocre, forgettable or not good. The 3rd to me was alright, I didn't really mind it. Although Killmonger is one of my favorite characters, the 6th was boring. Nothing really grabbed my attention. The 7th straight up is bad. And the 9th was good until the final bit. So this series is a mixed bag but I liked it more than I didn't.

Danny and Michael Philippou have truly made something special here and hope it gets the attention it deserves. Known by their YouTube channel "RackaRacka" They were able to pull off a great low budget horror film on the budget of $4.5 million Australian dollars that feels at least 20 million.
The cinematography and direction were all incredible with some expertly crafted scenes and a very dark and foreboding story that does have some originality to it despite being another supernatural, hell-demon, "other side" story. The scenes with the hand were legitimately scary and tense with a very unpredictable nature to it, the rest of the story was surprisingly unpredictable and unconventional, that also captures the modern Australian generation very well.
The acting in this movie was off the charts and really delivered every emotion these characters were feeling at any given time and their reaction to exactly what was happening, internally and externally. The movie does depict Australian Gen Zérs pretty well, me being one of them. They did use it to their advantage in this movie, with RackaRacka being Gen Z as well, they were able to nail their modern Australian characters to perfection.
The movie really did have an impactful effect on me, with me starting to feel a little ill by the end of the movie and me processing what all had just happened that I won't spoil in this review. Overall, the tone didn't just feel like shallow horror, but a legitimate one that actually has a foothold in Australian society that did feel somewhat believable in certain areas. The tension was soaring and ever present, the music was great too, there weren't many jump scares in this but the scary scenes themselves were clever and hard hitting.
The movie didn't just fly by either, it did feel like it did run a bit longer than just 90 minutes and I did appreciate how it held my attention the way it did. I did feel genuine dread from it, that I haven't felt from a horror movie like this in a VERY long time. If not ever. The only problem I had with it is that I wished the story was a bit more revelatory and not so secretive in a lot of areas.
Go see it if you're a fan of Horror and Modern Australian Cinema. I hope this brings nothing but success for The Philippou Brothers and the film has already gotten recognition by several popular horror directors including Jordan Peele.

This is not a boxing movie. It's based in the world of boxing but it's nothing to do with the real story.Redemption I suppose but also standing up to all the challenges life throws at you.For me the director tried too hard to muster up a broody feel which overstretched me and made me feel as though I was just waiting for something good to happen. I was surprised at the acting in this,,seemed a bit wooden at times by everybody involved and very few outside sequences made it feel a bit enclosed. Nowhere near as good as I was led to believe by all the rave reviews. A lot of the plot evaporated as it went along and there seemed to be no narrative to hold attention and move the story on. Cannot recall a stand out moment you would expect from a film if this ilk either.Another thing that no good was the soundtrack..very annoying at times and over used. Overall unimpressed and uninspiring with not even a great performance from the crew.

Beautiful CGI and direction, but completely lacks the heart and character of the original. Flat performances, bad singing and complete lack of emotion from the character models.
Some things just have to be animation. This movie is a blatant cash grab that will be forgotten in a few years; just like all the live action Disney remakes.

The show started off quite well, loved Bucky and Sam's interactions,zemo was surprisingly good, and Walker for the most part a well written character unfortunately every single other character was dull and uninteresting, the cringinesss didn't help either, I'm sorry but Falcon's last speech was hilariously cringey, couldn't take him seriously wearing that ridiculous costume lol.

Bhag Mikha Bhag is a Master Stroke by Farhan and Rakesh Omprakash Mehra. As said above it is an Epic, Masterpiece and Inspiritional Story of Milkha Singh. It is a must watch movie. Don't read paid review of critic for different news channel. When i compared review of BMB with YJHD, BMB is much better. If they gave YJHD 3 to 3.5 star than of course this movie is equal to 5 star movie and Lootera is 4 star movie. Mikha Singh story from today Pakistan Multan to missing medal in Rome Olympics by just fraction of second is well built by Rakesh Omprakash Mehra. Prakash Raj, Yograj Singh, Sonam Kapoor, Meesha Shafi and Japtej Singh acted so well.

I believe that the reason this show lost massive viewership (including mine), and wasn't renewed for a 4th season is because Season 3 destroyed the balance between reality and fiction. I'll explain, what was so compelling about seasons 1 & 2 was that the show maintained a deeply unsettling psychological and imaginative undertone, but the storyline was moving forward and evolving. Simply put; there was enough action and gorey events to keep us excited and entertained, and enough oniric and metaphorical elements to hypnotize our senses and engage our intellect. Season 3 lost it's way, as it seems to take place in a dream-like place where nobody stays true to form, nothing is what it seems, and everyone lives in their own head... it's like they all died at the end of season 2, and now reside in their own version of Dante's Inferno (Hell) . Just as the writers lost interest and checked out; we simply didn't care about what happened to the characters anymore.

Opened with great 1st episode then I went downhill.....the pace is extremely slow, too much politics, terrible villains ruined the show........idiotic plots, terrible writing, cringe dialogues......they should not make another season.

To all you 1 rating people out there
I haven't seen this film yet but saw the rating of 8 and it certainly looks like it will very likely be a good movie......the critic reviews
are also very good....so therefore the likelihood that this movie is a "1" is very far from likely.
I rarely ever write reviews but am compelled to say this as all you 1 rating people are very stupid because people will generally ignore you as it's clearly not a 1 movie!!
SO PLEASE STOP RUINING THE SCORE AVERAGE!

Having played the games (book-reading is planned!) I couldn't wait for this show to go live on Netflix.
The pro's:
Casting for Geralt and Jaskier is spot-on, the chemistry is almost exactly like in the games - good vibes!
Monster fights are convincing and I love the details and the mix between CGI and practical effects are present, or so I believe.
Love the scenery, good editing despite the somewhat continious back and forth story-telling
The con's:
All in all, I'm anxious for season 2 where we are promised a more action-orientated and more on-the-go type of storytelling! Well done everyone! :)

Okay, so listen CAREFULLY!! I kept hearing about this show and people saying that is was "amazing" and "The Greatest Show of 2016." So I decided to check it out. 6 words: NOT. AS. GOOD. AS. THE. HYPE!! I went in expecting some life changing show, IT WASNT. It was alright, but everyone was talking about it like it was better than it was (which I wasn't that great). The first 2 seasons were actually really good, but then, season 3 decided to come and ruin the party. It was SOOO stupid.
Season 1-2👍: Season 3: 👎
OVERALL,
meh.

I am sick and tired of great comic heroes being turned to a load of crap on the screen. This is truly another example of how stupid Hollywood writers, directors and produces take a great action hero and reduce him to a bunch of screen garbage only to satisy a greater population who have no vested interest in the character.
Poor Spiderman....what a wimp. Poor Peter Parker and complaining and carrying on started to drive me whacko. This movie really sucked.
The special effect were incredible, but that has to do with technology not writing.
What can us true Spiderman fans really do about this crap produced by Hollywood. Nothing. All we can do is endure another pile of crap soon to be released.
Michael Moore said it best. Hollywood Producers should be forced to see their crappy movies.

I like to watch this to laugh at it. This is like watching a extremely serious kids movie that is no way relatable. I wish i didn't waste my time watching grown people take this seriously, drawing stupid diagrams with crayons. To improve this, it would actually be good if it was comedy.

I really like this show at first i didn't understand the hype but once i gave it a watch i was hooked to it. I can't wait for season two, i'm looking forward to see how season 2 plays out with the cliffhanger the final episode had.

Until Hollywood recognises that foul language endlessly punctuating every sentence shouldn't be a substitute for great writing and decent interpretation, I think I'll just give it all a miss. How did John Wayne, Bogart, Lancaster etc ever "sell" toughness without it? To quote Olivier, " try acting dear boy, it's so much easier."
Honestly I'm no prude but it's getting tiresome. Need a dramatic moment? Need a confrontation? Need to stress something? Just chuck as many expletives in as possible. Nah! I want more these days. The millennials can have this rubbish. This isn't art. Art is subtle.

Not really a superhero movie, more of a spy espionage thriller, and certainly not about the Winter Soldier as he barely features. But that said is was a hell of a lot of fun
Plot In A Paragraph: following the events of the first movie, and the events of "Avengers Assemble" Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and with a little help from Black Widow and a new friend, he battles a new threat from old history: the Soviet agent known as the Winter Soldier.
Chris Evans is as excellent as ever as Steve Rogers/Captain America, Scarlett Johansson is likewise excellent as Natasha Romanov/Black Widow, Samuel L Jackson is as reliable as ever as Nick Fury, Cobie Smulders does well in her small role and Anthony Mackie is a welcome addition as Sam Wilson/Falcon
However Robert Redford seems totally out of place as Alexander Pierce A senior leader within S.H.I.E.L.D and Sebastian Stan is not given as much to do as one would hope as Bucky Barnes/The Winter Soldier

I was looking forward to a comedy... I really needed a laugh. But I didn't get what I paid for because I was BORED to TEARS, which immediately turned to FRUSTRATION, because with all the HYPE, I felt like I had been LIED to!
But I guess I am more frustrated with myself for watching almost the whole thing.. (my only excuse is that I believed it HAD to get better and if I was patient, the real worthwhile plot would be revealed to me..)
Anyway, I could have spent my time doing MUCH more productive things. If you haven't watched this movie yet, DON'T. Go plant a tree, give your dog a bath, or train some worms to race. All would be more productive.. and entertaining.. than this movie.

It was like watching all the cut scenes from a video game put together with the same campy dialog. ZERO plot, no imagination there what so ever. The extraction plan was no plan at all. Everything was highly predictable. Half way through the movie we we thought it was over, we were wrong. You do not care about any of the characters. May of the firefight scene reminded us of Arnold's Commando movie - the good guy shoots and never misses, the bad guys cannot hit their target even at extremely close range. Not worth the time.

South movies are always best when it comes to thrillers, Especially Tamil films.Ratsasan is a perfect example.The Psycho thriller was perfect when comes to bother story and execution.But some scenes are not convincing a bit.So that's why I gave 9.But Tamil industry proves once again that it is master of thrillers.The killer's character was designed in such a way that he's physically strong,mentally psychic...Worth watching

I have to note that the production, CGI and all the effects were great as always in every marvel production.
Bucky was fine, nothing special like in the winter soldier movie. Some of the side characters were really interesting such as zemo.
Sam is a terribly annoying and pointless character which serves only one porpuse and that is to be politically correct. It is pointless and terrible just like the whole story.
Avoid the whole series as it is a complete waste of time and money.
I can just hope that they will find another character to be captain America.
I'm glad this is done in one season.

There is no depth to the characters at all. You know nothing about them, it is so surface level. I watched this from beginning to end in one sitting thinking it would get better and it didn't. It was horrible. DONT WATCH

Makes you feel invested, even if you aren't super crazy about chess.
Some of the plot points feel superfluous. Sometimes a chess match goes by and the viewer isn't privy to exactly what moves the characters have made, which can take one out of the series a bit. Though I suppose if it had just been continuous, straight up chess-porn, it would have put more people off, and wouldn't have found as wide an audience as it did.

My judgment is on the series as a compelling watch and not its historical accuracy. In this regard: The first half is sluggish. But the producers dedicate a lot of time to making sure you know the subplots count too (the work we see the WSJ journalist putting in makes us understand the importance when he & his boss finally meet face-to-face with the Theranos legal brigade).
But perhaps the best dramatic payoff is the evolution of the Liz-Sunny relationship told through the acting of Seyfried and Andrew's. Whether or not this is how their relationship played out in real life, it makes for strong viewing in this dramatization. The actors nail the dynamic of a relationship each knows is phony, the audience knows is phony and yet each remains convinced the *other person* in the relationship doesn't know is phony. It gives a lot of their dialogue a tense undertone of submeaning.
If you're willing to stick it out through some *less* believable dialogue early on and work to the halfway point where things really take off, you'll find it rewarding .

Iron man 2 wasn't as good as the first one but not a bad squeal. Tony acts more like an arrogant jerk just like that comics but this time it's too much for me to handle really makes you not like the guy in this movie. And I know this is early 2010 work but the CGI was pretty bad as well. I did like the special effects for the villain made him really cool! And I also got to mention the black widow being in this movie was for sex appeal and to draw in an audience which is something I didn't like.
Overall not a bad sequel.

It could have been a really good sci fi show, unfortunately this Dr Smith drags it down from a 8/10 to a 4/10.
I have no problems with a manipulative and scheming character of their motivations are clear, concise and they make sense... This Dr Smith however, is stupid, has no end game, flips from one thing to the next with no rhyme or reason often risking their own life needlessly. It's a shame, Posie Parker is a fine actress, but this panto villain act grows thin very quickly.

50 years of a career Steven Spielberg's have and this one is basically a gift to us, a little simple gift, The Fabelmans is not Schindler's List, it's not Indiana Jones, E. T., Jurassic Park, The Terminal, Bridge Of Spies, West Side Story, Ready Player One, in terms of a theme named it all, it's the most true from the heart movie that Steven Spielberg's ever made, watching this movie as a still new and still learn moviegoers is definitely memorable, it's definitely an experience that i'll never forget because the movie is special, this isn't just a movie for me to critic but it also a movie that i take and feel personally, lot's of thing that are related to my real life experience too about movies or film, people who have the same dream as Spielberg's will really grateful and i just cannot see them bashing this simple little Masterpiece from the master himself who was never afraid to being a kid again, there is always be little Sammy Fabelmans in Spielberg's forever until he's gone, and he put it all in here, back to the movie itself the movie indeed is more into the drama rather than about the filmmaking itself, and my god i'm telling you, the drama is just phenomenal, it's beautiful, it's powerful, it's engaging, and it's simply one of the best drama story ever out there despite being loosely based on a true story, the performance is no doubt one of the best performances i've ever seen this year, Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, and specifically Gabriel LaBelle which like Henry Thomas and Drew Barrymore in E. T., Christian Bale in Empire Of The Sun, Dakota Fanning in War Of The Worlds, Ariana Richards and Joseph Mazzello in Jurassic Park got the best direction from the best child actor director ever out there, and so do the rest of the cast is perfect, 2 in a half hour drama that never bored me for a second, i can go on and on and on talking about all the pros in this movie, i can't even think about one negative things about The Fabelmans, i can't stop thinking about it, if the movie have more screening in my country i would love to see it again again and again, too bad they never understand which movie should be have more screening and this one is a must, it's perfect, Spielberg's just never disappoint, his passion to cinema, to older people, to younger people, he can make all things work, and The Fabelmans is special, so special that while and after i watch it i also feel special to be one of the few people to experience this Masterpiece in the theaters, to all moviegoers out there specifically you did not wanna miss this one, The Fabelmans is simply on my top 10 best films of the year, it is another amongst the best Spielberg's film, it's just a perfect love letter to us movie lover, and thank you Spielberg for this beautiful powerful and inspiring gift.

Three teens, all awkward in their high school ways, try to ensure a wild finish for their senior year by procuring alcohol for a party. A night's worth of adventures ensues.
It was hard for me to put a star value on this movie. As much as I liked it, I saw some flaws that needed to be addressed to propel this movie to an 8, or maybe a 9. First, there are pacing issues. Some of the scenes suffer because it's clear to the audience what will happen, and the scene takes too long to achieve the goal. This bit of trimming could make the movie feel a little more tightly bound. The second problem is an odd one. I'm not opposed to cursing at all, but the incredible quantity of it hurts the movie in a specific way - it hurts the sense of realism.
Aside from these flaws, I can honestly say that this clearly beats Knocked Up, and is roughly as funny as 40-year-old Virgin, though with some of these drawbacks that lower my rating.

The fantastic beasts and where to find opens up new cinematic universe that every one of us have already known for a while. As few years ago Harry Potter and Sorcerer's stone showed us the mystery world of magic and made it undoubtedly successful, this one completed its mission in setting up the universe.
It's very entertaining movie that worth watching in theaters, with some very well organized action scenes and eye-catching beasts of our new main character. The plot is simple and you won't expect any astonishing screenplay. It could be predicted from the first 30 minutes of the movie. But, the movie doesn't need incredible scenario and such simple story doesn't affect this movie negatively.
The humor of the film is its one of the strongest aspects. Most of it comes to the Jacob Kowalski(played by Dan Fogler) and I really loved this guy. And all of the characters play good, except for Redmayne who is unbelievable as always.
This is okay beginning to the new cinematic universe and I hope it to be amazing as Harry Potter one.

I watched this and simply couldn't come to terms with the fact the movie had ended. Don't get me wrong, the cinematography is beautiful, the actors are some of the best you're going to currently find in Hollywood and I think people are just plain interested to see this chapter of our history on the big screen. That being said, I have to then ask myself the big question; was I entertained? Yes.
There's no doubt about it how can you not be entertained given the information I've just detailed? The real problem with this film? It's certainly a broken promise. I can (almost) guarantee, while you're watching this film you too will be entertained. And you'll sit watching, waiting and watching, waiting for something ... ANYTHING! But the moment never arrives ... never appears. Not only does this film fall short as a Quentin Tarantino film, this film falls short period!
And it's funny reading some of the reviews which gave this travesty a high rating. Most ramble on and on about how this movie is so special and then say I'm gonna explain exactly why it's so special in just a moment! But sadly, like this film, they never really do.

Disappointed, especially after seeing 8.2 review. Very slow start with not much plot. Second half had the actobit there were so many implausible plot elements that it was absurd.

I don't know what it is about Christopher Nolan's films but they just never appeal to me. Just like his previous films, 'Dunkirk' is technically great yet completely fails to connect on an emotional level. It's cold-hearted, soulless storytelling and no amount of visual effects can deflect from that.
I know that the purpose of this film is to take a wider, more broad approach to telling the story of what happened in Dunkirk rather than following an individual character/event within the war, but for a film like this to be completely void of emotion is disappointing and it can't have been what Nolan had envisaged.
The acting is good and the visuals are great, but beyond that 'Dunkirk' didn't do much for me at all. It's missing characters and emotion - two things that should be at the core of any war film.

Rupert Wyatt's prequel to the legendary 1968 film has its moments, but inconsistently shifts into boring and overlong passages too often and is rather pretentious in its CGI work. The finale is gripping and inviting, with heart-pounding action, but Wyatt's film plods too long, not reaching its punchline fast enough and loses our attention from the truly good parts of the picture. The film features some convincing special effects but lacks the thrusts it needs to propel itself. Fortunately enough, the film does manage to salvage some of my respect I saw from the boring action-filled advertisements. A mediocre action flick at best.

This was a alright movie. It may have been a different movie but it is in no way a masterpiece.
I found it to be very boring. The only good bits were Robert De Niro talking to a mirror, the scenes with Jodie Foster and the end scene.
It is very overrated and i don't see how people like it so much.
I borrowed this because of its high rating and because Martin Scorsese directed it. It is nothing compared to The Departed and Goodfellas.
One of the things that saved this movie is the acting. De Niro and Foster were great. Robert De Niro delivered a disturbing performance as a night time taxi driver who comes a across a prostitute who he feels he must save. Jodie Foster played that prostitute and her performance was great.
The only reasons to see this is the acting and the good bits which i mentioned at the start of this comment.
I recommend you see this some day.

The film would have been a great SNL skit, but as a film it leaves a lot to be desired. I'll admit that it's hard to get laughs from the Nazis, Hogan's Heroes not withstanding. But it's not merely the juvenile humor that doesn't light the spark, it's the constant lapsing of accents, the modern idioms, and the kid's forgetting that he limps. I left after half an hour so maybe I'm wrong and maybe somehow the film got better.

I can't believe some of the bad reviews for this show. Ignore the bad press and give it a try, myself and my family have thoroughly enjoyed it and hope that they will make season 2. The acting is good the characters are believable and the storylines keep you watching.

Something pure and heartwarming at the core of the story, and will leave you wanting more of the nostalgia. A marooned family eons away from earth, is confronted with their own imperfections they thought they had left back on earth in quest of a new life.
A stoic military father estranged from his family grafted back in. A boy with a big heart wrestling his insecurities while longing for the security of loyal friendship. Two daughters finding their independence and capable of rebellion while developing sense of what it means to still be family. A genius and very capable mother going great lengths to protect her kids, while learning to love her husband again.
In the wake of new challenges on an alien planet The Robinson's are discovering a new found family dynamic with the family addition of a mysterious life form. As master manipulator "Dr. Smith" orchestrates chaos under their very own noses, tensions rise and plot thickens!
A fantastic and notable performance by Parker Posey in this series. Hope to see more of her!!!

From the first moment, the creators of "Stranger things" don't hide the fact that the force behind the series is their love and dedication to the SiFi TV shows, books, and movies of the 1980s. The idea might not be original because we start to recognize the referencesto the 1980s hits from the very beginning but the true love for the good time that can always be had in the childhood when you see something cool for the first time, for the great stories and movies of days gone but still remembered, shines through all eight episodes of the season 1.
The fact that I kept telling myself that everything looks and feels familiar, that I can name the exact titles of the films that the creators were mimicking, stopped bothering me very soon. The story was compelling, the atmosphere - authentic, the cast - talented and enthusiastic. What was there not to like?
In the rest of the seasons, the things got stranger even if not necessary better but the first sason is memorable and strong.

Season 3 keeps the same high standard for atmosphere, music and excellent camera work. Kudos for that. But it drops the ball with shallow story and character development with a huge dose of 80s style anti-Russian propaganda forced at a viewer mixed with awkward product placements for a good measure.
(Had to explain to my 9yo son what propaganda is is when he carefully inquired "Dad, why all Russians are the bad guys in this movie?")

I like Chris Hemsworth playing Thor and I decided to watch the movie Extraction on Netflix. There were a lot of action scenes, but I didn't like English subtitles in movies because trying to read them and watch the movie is distracting. Sometimes I couldn't understand the actors English as they spoke. I would have preferred that the movie was filmed in the United States, London, Paris, Rome, Dublin, Tokyo, etc. I have a Samsung 4K television, but the lighting wasn't as good in this film. Over all, I enjoyed the movie.

Why spend so much time and energy into a show that's so vapid and devoid of substance?
Seriously, I don't know what these people who call this a "masterpiece" were watching.
That there is going to be a second season just shows how far HBO has fallen.

The pre-movie hype made this a financial success. MCU Nicely played on everyone's nostalgia to make quick cash.
If u ignore that factor and look at the movie objectively, it is average at best. Extremely kiddish, cringe jokes with bad timing, action sequences seemed alright, and a really lame storyline.
Extremely OVERRATED!

1st review. Keeping it simple. I watch a TON of movies and grew up on musicals including theater.
I just can't give this a big thumbs up.
I WANTED to love it. I really did. I'd love to see a modern version of the old school musicals I learned (yes, learned) to love. It's not "Singing in the Rain" and such.
I love Gosling as far as his talent. I wanted it to work. Truly. I did not come in being critical.
It just never clicked for me. The singing was blah (I get the concept of being "regular" folks"). The story, well I just kept waiting for it to be a big splash.
Instead it seemed to end quickly and simply bland.
I really did want to love it and understand the love for it.
Sorry it's my first review but I've seriously watched a ton of quality movies from IMAX to my home theater and this is the first time I felt I HAD TO SAY MY QUALMS.
It's a fine movie for what it is. However, throw in the hype, and it just let me down.
Sure, I could get more specific and such but I am just throwing it out there that it was a fail for me overall. I WANTED to love it. It just never go going for me.
Do a good old school musical where it's the norm characters as they make them out to be then BOOM- suddenly it rocks (no, not the genre of music). I just think they let it drop where they could have taken it to another level.
Love the actors. I am sure I will see tons of great works to come. This just did not take it to the level I had hoped. Perhaps too much hype?

Directors should attempt to make the action scenes at least a TINY bit believable. If you want to mind numbingly waste a couple hours of your life, then go ahead and watch this utter piece of garbage. How this garners a 6.7 is a sad testament to the taste of some people.

I really wanted this to be good - but the HUGE amount of questionable relationships truly got in the way.
Some bits are actually funny - like the car drive to Scotland, but others simply didn't pan out - and did I mention that they club you over the head with their righteousness - who needs a Witchfinder when you have Amazon explaining that you intolerant Oldtimers are the true evil - damn normies.
The original book was great - follow up, not so much. Without Pratchett, it seems the whole thing went off a rail.
This probably shouldn't have been titled Good Omens 2, but Good Omens the Pride month edition.
While some.

After watching the show I can understand and appreciate why the critics are divided on this one. The writing is generally good but inconsistent. The storytelling varies from fascinating to convoluted. Characters often behave in nonsensical ways. Several the details of the plots are rushed or glossed over which can add a feeling of contrivance. The time-jumps can be confusing at first, although it is unavoidable given the season was based on collection short stories. The world building, while groundbreaking by the standards videogamers are used to, is rather simplistic compared to the giants of fantasy literature.
But whatever flaws it has, is redeemed by excellent production values, endearing and outstanding performances by the cast, and the fascinating central premise of the mutant-monster-hunter-investigator.
Henry Cavill has permanently become Geralt of Rivia. If being Superman was not enough, this performance should ensure that Cavill remain an enduring beloved icon among the nerds. Veterans like Burring or May are as good as one could hope. Anya Chalotra, however, is the breakout star. Much like her character, she displayed charisma, ease and nuance worthy of someone well beyond her years. It is pretty ironic given a small-minded subset of the fanbase tried to get her removed from the cast because of imaginary skintone mismatch.
While the overarching plot is good enough to be invested in, it is the monster-hunter bits that I found most fascinating. There is a lot of potential there for mixing elements of folklore, fantasy, horror and mystery in the vein of classics like X-files, and for some philosophical musings about the definition of a monster. I would love to see a few self-contained episodes each season dedicated to the monster hunting.
Ultimately it is a question of whether one would like to see more of this show just as it is? I most certainly do. With the evident success of this season, I am sure the show-runners will be more confident at telling their story at a more consistent pace, introduce more popular faces, and do even better.

I've been a fan of Mission Impossible, the work of Tom Cruise and heard such good things about this film that I'm very surprisingly disappointed here. I usually always feel so uplifted after a Mission Impossible movie, like I could run through the theatre and into an armored car chase. This movie I couldn't even get through though sadly, the script is so weak and you can't do much with a weak script that feels like it's built to make cheap call backs to other MI films and not creating believable enough characters for us to care about the action. No set up, no pay off of you ask me

OK it's not an amazing show. The science is down right laughable in places. But, it's also not the worst show I've watched, not by a long way.
For those looking for a nostalgic remake of the original, forget it. This is a different show altogether, bringing with it both positives and negatives.
Negatives... The parenting is shocking. If these were my parents I'd have shot them out of an airlock into space long ago. It's as though they really don't give a hoot about their kids, especially the mother. And having the children be all super smart and non-childlike is not entirely realistic. Will in particular gets on my nerves with this.
Positives. The restyled Dr Smith is actually really good. I like this spin on the character, you love her and hate her all at the same time. I also like Peggy's character a lot. She seems the most normal of the whole family. The robot story is refreshing and is building up quite nicely now after 2 series.
I managed to binge watch both series in a fortnight and I'm actually now looking forward to series 3. Depending on where they take this it may deserve an extra star in the rating next year.

I haven't sat through such a load of tosh in a long time. The film's central thesis is that mankind has screwed up the planet and it can only be saved by American science and technology. Nothing unusual then for a Hollywood epic. At least God and religion weren't thrown into its specious mix, although love is, in the shape of the central father-daughter relationship. Of course the father is an all-American hero whose daughter grows up to be a brilliant scientist. However, he has to leave her behind, so that later, with her help, he can save mankind. It's the Right-Stuff meets Contact meets Buck Rogers? Meanwhile, the rest of us are left starving, and choking on our own pollution. Other critics have pointed out the holes in the film's plot but to my mind it's worst sin is its total lack of humour. Oh, I forgot, it had talking robots who could occasionally be sarcastic. Now there's an original idea! I split my sides laughing. Poor old Carl Sagan would be turning in his grave, if he had lived long enough to see this humourless piece of nonsense.

Spider-Man 2. The main threat hidden under the mask is back. This is the title of a movie that has Jonah Jameson in it. The sequel looks even nicer. The plot is not so straightforward, and the main villain attracts all the attention.

Slow, boring, stereotyped, unimaginative. A senile mafia yawn by Scorsese. At all costs you need Pesci, De Niro, Pacino, etc. to be your usual mobsters, so there is a bunch of old guys who need a ton of makeup plus some cringing CGI to try to look thirty years younger. And the story? Hoffa, Kennedy, unions, Castro, Cuba... it's déjà-vu central. Not a twist, not an idea. After 100 minutes I was comatose, like the protagonists and their seventh art. If something finally happened afterward, I will never know. Amen to that.

I have never been to Disneyworld or Disneyland so going into this film I had no idea what this movie based on an amusement ride was going to be about except for the fact that it was going to have pirates in it. And lots of them. After seeing this film, I still have no idea what the correlations between the ride and the movie are, but I did come to one solid conclusion: Johnny Depp is an unbelievable actor.
Without Depp in the role of Jack Sparrow, this film probably would have still done very well. It's a fun, reasonably well-done swashbuckling film that has a `cute' lead actor (Orlando Bloom), a `cute' lead actress (Keira Knightly) and Geoffrey Rush, a very good actor (who has unfortunately made some, shall we say, `interesting' career choices in the last few years) as the main villain. Plus we have a lot of sword fighting, perilous moments and an undead monkey all elements that will bring the kids in droves to the multiplex. Myself, I had no interest in seeing it really mainly because I figured I would either A) embarrass myself by laughing at the pirate-speak, which never fails to set me off, or B) engage in said pirate-speak myself, thereby embarrassing both myself and whoever was unlucky enough to drag me to see the film in the first place.
I could not ignore the buzz surrounding Johnny Depp's performance however, which ultimately is what got me into the theater in the first place. He is *so* incredible as Jack Sparrow that even a subtle facial expression or use of body language was enough to make me laugh out loud. I have long respected his career since he eschewed the mainstream `hunk' roles that he seemed to be genetically predisposed to doing after his stint on 21 Jump Street in favor of more avant garde fare, but this particular performance solidified my opinion that he is one of the best actors we have in the industry right now. I remember hearing that he had taken this role last year and was disappointed that he seemed to be jumping from his independent/obscure film repertoire in favor of commercialism, but his inspired performance will without a doubt get me into the theater to see the sequel(s).
In terms of the direction, I had absolutely no problem with Gore Verbinski's approach. I found it to be atmospheric and evenly paced, and the special effects were impressive as well. Conclusively, a good movie with Johnny Depp, a great movie.

The Trial: Pyaar Kaanoon Dhoka, created by Suparn Varma, doesn't waste its time in establishing an ideal woman to lead the camp first. It instead captures her right at the most shattering moment of her entire life. What she decides to do at that moment, and many more to follow is what makes her the 'Good Wife'. And the decision to start exactly at this point establishes that the creator is confident about his actors and the content. From here begins the journey of a woman who has to now navigate a life not just through financial hardships, but even the embarrassment of being her husband's wife.
The Trial, in the writing handled by Abbas Dalal, Hussain Dalal, and Siddharth Kumar, captures the secondhand embarrassment forced on Kajol's Noyonika very well. The embarrassment given by her unapologetic creepy husband, the embarrassment that comes with re-joining work post a decade and being called a junior, the embarrassment of her past relationships, the judgement, and so on. The baggage is heavy, and the men around her only make it heavier. When a colleague is quick to point out that her kids are in a very posh school for someone who is facing an economic crunch, or how she is a product of nepotism wooing the boss, he embodies the gaze of society towards her. A clever move.
Kajol is an actor who knows what works for her and what she can ace. Decades in front of the camera has taught her that. She is brilliant when she has to reflect confidence and take down egoistic people.
Jisshu Sengupta as the husband, is a stereotype of the unapologetic, wasted, toxic husbands who don't deserve to be brought back. But just like all the other heroines, Noyonika brings him back. Even he isn't explored well. Regarding exploring parts, Sheeba Chaddha wasn't underutilized so much in the longest time, and the show does nothing with such a seasoned performer. Her curled hair is more detailed than the world around her. In one scene, she is throwing shade at Noyonika, and the last confesses that she is now fond of her. Done.
The Trial - Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha isn't without a chink or two in its armour, but consistent performances and conceptual clarity make the show more than just passably engaging.

Continuing his recent streak of comedies (Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums) where the humor is so self aware that it nullifies itself, Bill Murray stars in Lost In Translation. This overrated waste of time goes absolutely nowhere and has absolutely no message. To those that say "you need to see it more to understand it" Stop kidding yourself, if a movie is this bad but your intellect is questioned you will train yourself to like it. I've seen people do the same with Donnie Darko and other supposedly deep movies (excuse me, films)That is a very pathetic way to go through life, especially when there are books one could read that have more to say in their preface. Although I suppose that I'm just some philistine who has no idea what he's talking about, eh? Over 100 4-star reviews can't be wrong!

Bruce Campbell was the best part of this movie. I couldn't figure out if I was watching Army of Darkness or a MCU film. Way too much focus on the occult for MCU. If I was expecting something from that genre, I wouldn't have been so disappointed. For a MCU film, it was a total mess and cut horribly. It felt more like a Scarlet Witch film, than Dr. Strange.

I am not a big fan of action movies. The reason is- they don't offer anything new and I always believe there's a limit to how much you can enjoy them. Beyond a certain point, they become monotonous.
Coming to Kaithi, it has got many things right which other action films usually don't. One is the fact that it does not lose the plot badly. The director is smart enough not to include any lousy action scenes, flashbacks, and pointless comedy. The action is limited and doesn't get repetitive. For an average Indian, it may look grim and goresome, but for fans of this genre, it may seem mild.
I didn't like any of the characters. They are not good enough to love but not bad enough to hate either, i.e, they lack depth. Action is not top-notch, it's just okayish. Plot-line is thin but it's not a bad thing at all. But for an action movie, 140 minutes is too much for my liking.
And now the big question is, is it worthy of 8.6/10? Well, just as much as Thadam and Ratchasan. It's high time we stop promoting mediocre films. Many Tamil/Telugu movies in the last 5 years have got ludicrously high ratings, this one is no exception. IMDB ratings have lost their relevance completely.

Well, this movie was a disappointment.
I liked Avatar 1; it had a thin story, but it had some character-developement for sully and revolutionary fx, so it was engaging enough to be a good flick.
But Part 2 is an empty shell storywise. Fx are still great, but you have seen it equally nice in other movies. But the story..., oh boy... No nuanced characters, no character-arc, only exposition in the dumbest way possible.
The story is extremely boring, combine that with a 3-hour runtime, it was almost torture.
I guess there were too much characters to ever have time to get connected to anyone, even in 3 hours. Less would have been more.
If the story was at least mediocre, i would rate this film 7 Stars; sadly the story is a a lot worse.
I would rate this movie as one of the worst i have ever seen.
Despite i like Cameron-Movies, i definitely wont see part 3.

The Fabelmans is Steven Spielberg's love letter to film and is loosely based on Spielberg's childhood.
It follows a young man named Sammy Fableman growing up in post-WW2 era Arizona.
He discovers a shattering family secret and explores how the power of movies helps us see the truth about each other and ourselves.
I grew up as a child watching Spielberg's movies like a lot of you did, films such as Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, and my personal favourite E. T.
So seeing a film made by him loosely about him was inspiring and lovely to see.
There are a few things that happen in this film that probably happened to a lot of you watching it and Spielberg tells his side of things wonderfully well.
A true storyteller.
The film could be about 30 minutes shorter and maybe some scenes not necessary, but with this potentially being Spielberg's last, it's fitting for the world's best-known director.
The score performed by John Williams was mesmerizing at times and the performances of Michelle Williams stood out in particular.
This film has a director's nomination at the Oscars which if it was to win I would be delighted.
So, what's my rating you ask?
4.5/5 stars or 8.5/10.
Would I recommend it? Yes would I see it again? Yes.

The first few episodes were pretty good. When it came to episode five though, the plot turned and ruined the show. Basically, the plot turned into telling the audience that black people should hate America because they ignore them and throw away their stories. They also say that Captain America is a symbol of this and he should not be respected. Then a black character takes over the shield and throws away Steve Rogers' legacy. This is not true and every American should be proud of their country. Disappointed that even Marvel has gone political :(

While the level of animation and some of the creature desings are undoubtedly spectacular, this film lacks any sort of story arch or character development to let the viewer become invested. Being inundated non-stop by a bewildering amount of exaggerated action sequences for more than three extremely long hours only leaves the audience emotionally detached, if not feeling empty. It is nothing but a sensory overload. I might as well have watched a Marvel franchise backwards... or Titanic for the millionth time! Perhaps it could make for a lovely screensaver. Otherwise it is an utter waste of time.

I watched cuz i like steve martin and mart short. It is an amusing story with some very funny moments (i loved the passive aggresdive exchange btwn the the m. Short character and the president of the apartment abot his late fees). BUT i personally do not like the very slow pacing. Basically, they are takingvthe time to give bak story for character development. This will not appeal to somebody that wants to get into the mystery clues right away. I wstched 3 episodes and probably will NOT continue. I admit tho, once we kno the characters there might be a very big enhanced payoff. But not gonna invest that much time. However, it might appeal to ppl that like the leisurely detective pace and want to really digest the dialogue.

Inception is the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life. I would prefer watching the human centipede a million times than to have to sit through Inception again. It was an insult to my intelligence. It was pretentious. It was horrible. There has only been one other movie that has made me want to walk out and that was the Blair Witch Project. I couldn't understand how anyone could possibly find that movie scary. We see movies like that on youtube all the time now.
Inception was ridiculous. The plot was horrible. The entire movie was just terrible there is no other way to describe it. Nothing made sense I have absolutely no idea how anyone can like this movie.

... these adjectives are usually in front of the words "Spider-Man" on the comic books in which he stars, and they also are the way I'd describe the movie I saw opening morning at 12:01 AM and again today. It is indeed, as reviewers have been saying, better than the first one. From the opening credits, which I won't spoil for you, to the ending I was hoping for, the movie had me completely enthralled. The action had me on the edge of my seat, the humor had me laughing out loud (and at one point it was hard to stop), and the emotional scenes had me really feeling for Maguire's character. At one point, at the end, I actually started to shed a few tears. I am definitely seeing this movie again, multiple times in the theaters, and am looking forward to each additional viewing.

This series would be really enjoyable to watch, UNLESS... Upon the very first episode, you get hooked on it. Great story, nice little family, a bit of suspense. Fun planet, with many many story outcomes. UNLESS they choose to make the most predictable episodes ever. Like, did the writed ever enjoy those movies where you can tell the outcome by the first few minutes? Fear no more my friend, if you made it till the 5th or 6th episode, you already know how it will end. This series could have had so much more potention, yet they decided to go this way. I'm very disappointed. I wish i could say that there is something good about this whole mess, but... I was waiting for characters to evolve, good story to unfold. Yet, i ended up receiving nothing.

The problem with modern horror films, is they all copy each other. They use the same effects, same scares, it's all become a modern cliché. There were also many errors in the writing and era accuracy. At least a dozen I could point out.. maybe if I was a 13 year old girl watching this, I may have enjoyed it. I did enjoy the conjuring, but these annabelle movies are crap. I am being generous to give this 4 stars, as I do like the location, setting and props. I did not like ANY of the actors.

As a combat veteran and a watcher of dozens of historical based war films, I must be brutally honest. This is a boring and very slowly presented film. As all historical based films are, we already know the ending, which automatically takes away one third of our viewing interests. The film simply shows thousands of soldiers and sailors, standing on a beach or dock ,waiting to be bombed or shot at by German Aircraft. Several people in the theater got up and walked out. Based on my respect for the poor souls of the actual Dunkirk, I remained to the end. I really had to stretch my forgiveness, to give it a three.

The best thing about Queen is its not preachy regarding woman empowerment and chauvinism. It gives its message in a subtle form. Kangana is the true queen of the film.

I for some reason was never a fan of the Adam's Family. I don't know why but none of the shows or previous movies appealed to me so I just kind of avoided them.
This one was getting so much hype from social media I wanted to see what the fuss was about so I reluctantly tuned into the first episode. Next thing I know I am finished the whole season.
I think the really appealing thing for me wasn't so much the characters as it was the mystery that needed to be solved. The characters did help and the setting was interesting.
It was a bit predictable nearer the end which was ok because for most of it you are left asking what is going on, who did it?
It also resolved nicely so if they go onto Season 2 I hope they are their own contained stories, in the sense that you don't need to watch season 1 to understand 2.
