The show started out good - entertaining, funny, suspenseful - but then it started getting a bit odd and even boring, which is too bad because I'm not sure now that I'll finish it.

This movie clearly wants to be in the original Taken category but alas, it cannot be. It's just a boring, one note action flick that would be a B movie if not for it's A- list star and obvious polished locations. I like looking at Keanu as much as anyone but him punching a lot of people does not a good movie make. It's as good as the Taken sequels, that is not say not good at all. There is no time spent to create a world behind each character, it's just, here's a guy, punch him, shoot him. It feels like a cartoon for very stupid boys. There isn't a good line in the entire thing. The most memorable scene is a girl entering a swimming pool in high heels.

'Interstellar' was a film I'd been waiting to see all year, and it certainly is a huge sci-fi film - $165 million budget - from one of the best filmmakers going round. Basically, we spend 40min on Earth in the not-too-distant-future, where all the crops are failing and Homo sapiens are about to be wiped from the planet. Cooper (McConaughey), Romilly (Gyasi) & Dr Brand (Hathaway) are then sent to another galaxy - via a wormhole - as a last grasp attempt to find another habitable planet.
The film does really well of asking those big picture themes - what's more important, family of the entire species, love or exploration, why do we matter? However, as a sci-fi/action film, it sometimes lets itself down - the characters aren't that well developed, beside Cooper & his two kids (Chastain & Affleck when they're older) and there's too much maths/physics/relativity and not enough excitement and wonder.
Sure, the special effects you do get to see of the black hole and the planets they visit are great, but there's just not enough of them - it's a lot of them in a space suit/ship with an overbearing Hans Zimmer's score making it hard to hear actual dialogue. It's probably slightly longer than necessary also - 2 hours 50min, with the last 30min being a less-than-ideal conclusion to the film. Hopefully Damon playing an astronaut prepares him for next year's 'The Martian', which should be more exciting than 'Interstellar'.
Nolan - who will arguably one day go down as a directorial legend like Kubrick - owes a lot to '2001: A Space Odyssey' and essentially 'Interstellar' doesn't do anything better than that film 46 years ago. But it's not all bad - I think my expectations were too high, especially after 'Gravity' last year - with Caine & Lithgow being solid on Earth and the robots, TARS & CASE (very similar voices/roles to HAL in '2001' & GERTY in 'Moon') providing some humour (and a very unique form/function!).

The premise is simple but it cuts deep as the series progresses. Anyone who have been in rural India can relate to it as it's depiction of rural india is quite accurate and relatable.
On face the story seems comedic but it gradually transform into much more than that.
Verdict: Must watch.

This is another one of the long list of the hinduphobic pieces of garbage Bollywood produces. Hence I don't want to waste my time explaining the technicals of the film cause I don't care how good they are. If you are a Hindu phobic putting hinduphobic content into your movies without any reason (cause hinduphobic stuff is added for no reason in here, out of nowhere) then the movie is trash. It's as simple as that. Don't waste your time watching this movie. Lesson should be taught to any person who thinks they could make hinduphobic content and get away with it

If you wish it was just like the old one, go watch the old one. The acting isnt spectacular but its pretty good for a sci-fi tv show. The daughter is mixed because she was a product of the relationship her mom had with another man before she met her current husband. (Its weird that everyone was focused on that part.) If you want to watch something that is scientifically accurate, watch something else. I like it. The robot is adorable. I think if everyone watched all 8 episodes first, then wrote a review, there wouldnt be so many negative reviews on here.

A Sequel to the crappy Spider Man film of 2002.
This time Spider Man is in more Sh*t. With a new Villain Doctor Octopus, his girlfriend loosing faith on him, and having trouble with jobs.
All this just makes him look like a worthless Nerd who has too many problems to handle in life.
This is a tiny bit more decent than the first BUT NO CIGAR! Still need s better directing, and too many parts that need changing in my option.
Again, I'm glad I didn't see this in theaters. And those who are crazy about Spider Man can see this if you actually enjoyed the first one. Those who hate Spider Man won't enjoy this one either.
Rent it first don't buy it before renting or borrowing it.

For me, "The Godfather, Part II" is the kind of movie that I would drive 30 miles to see at a run-down theater in a questionable part of town. I absolutely believe this is one of the best movies ever made. Maybe someday I'll see it on DVD (if it's ever released), but for now I've only watched the video. I could not stop watching this movie the first time, and every time I start to watch part of it, I have to watch it to the very end.
The story is both a prequel and a continuation of "The Godfather." We see a young Vito Corleone's rise to power. We also see his son Michael's consolidation of that power at the cost of his soul. Robert DeNiro gives a stellar performance as Vito, and almost entirely in Italian! His scenes are so rivetting, I really didn't care that I couldn't understand a word.
In any other movie, Michael Corleone would be the villian. As the main character, we don't have the luxury of seeing him as the "bad-guy who must be stopped." Al Pacino portrays him with a Machivellian brilliance that kept me glued in front of the TV.
This film's only flaw is that sometimes you don't want to switch from Vito to Michael because you're so wrapped up in what's going on. However, any movie that gets you that interested in the characters definitely deserves a good recommendation! I love this movie.

Everyone says it starts slow but I found the beginning fit especially with the development of the characters over the seasons. I started watching this show 3 weeks ago and I'm already on the last season. Even when you don't think the season or whatever is happening at the moment is going to mean something in the future. Surprise! Everything ends up meaning something eventually so pay attention. The last season so far seems a little dull...i'm only on episode 4 so lets see if it takes a turn. I definitely recommend this show to all my family and friends!

Not my typical review because I feel like I might be the only one bothered by this. Firstly, I promise I really like the show and before anyone says it yes I know Gomez's character is supposed to be like that, but the monotone and stiff Mabel keeps distracting me from the story. Like, I struggle to take her seriously I know it's not Gomez herself because she is a good actor so clearly that's how the director wanted Mabel to talk and act. I really wander if anyone else feels this way because I know it's a specific little thing but I can't get over it. So, besides that personal issue it's a good show and I highly recommend it.

Yep, it's true. If you want to spend good time when you watch this movie, you need to be vegetable or should do judgment and thinking skills offline. "Sorry, your review is too short. It needs to contain at least 150 characters."

While this movie was terrific with tons of special effects and battle scenes, the jumping from planet to planet to magic places to past and present was very confusing... The cgi and battles were awesome, but the acting was so so and cliche. The worst was the horrible confusing ending which made absolutely no sense.. My wife and I both yelled WTF when the credits started, because the movie was surely NOT over... So lame of an ending.. I still do not know what happened... Very disappointed in this one compared to the other ones.

I will keep it short and simple- tvf pitchers is one of those shows which makes you laugh, think, happy, and most importantly ,it INSPIRES you. You really don't want to miss a TV series which takes you to a different world when you are seeing it. Every small detail, every small aspect of previous episodes is taken care of. The casting is top class, so is the direction, story and background music. Every aspiring entrepreneur will connect with pitchers. Every successful entrepreneur will feel proud of pitchers. TVF has taken Indian entertainment to a different level with pitchers. Eagerly waiting for the next season. Take your time, recreate the magic.

Umbrella Academy is an entertaining show about dysfunctional siblings with superpowers who must save the world from a coming apocalypse.
What's good: I really enjoyed some of the characters like Five, one of the siblings who has the ability to teleport, and Klaus, another sibling who can talk to the dead. Some of the side stories, such as one involving two hit-men trying to kill Five, are also fun.
What's not so good: Some of the dialogue, especially in season one, is kind of cringe. The story is also pretty predictable with not a whole lot of surprising twists.
Overall: If you like superhero movies/shows, you'll probably like this too.

For those of you who have seen the Netflix Marvel TV shows, you'll know what I mean when I say that Falcon and WS is like a cheap knock-off version.
Add to this the dreadful scriptwriting and scatter gun approach to political commentary and you have yourself a 2/10 show that has upset a lot of MCU fans.
The ending was an immaturely and poorly misunderstood attempt at critiquing foreign policy and political decision making. Whoever wrote the script and plot hasn't the first clue about facts versus 'truth'. They were employed to push an agenda and I hope Disney never let this happen again.

I am trying to up the rating on this film to something more deserving. It should probably be a 7.3 or so.
There are some negatives that I think are justified, from reviews I quickly skimmed. Some characters are hackneyed, and the "bad guy" I think obviously resembles Putin. Jennifer Lawrence is good, but not great, and I LOVE her in general.
But it is a pretty good plot with nice twists and some clever elaboration. It is absolutely NOT a spy movie with lots of action and explosions. But it's a much more cerebral and dramatic type of spy thriller. I really liked it.

Stranger Things is really good. Every time I had watched an episode then I immediately wanted to watch the next episode. You get this feeling where you just needs to know what have happened.
The actors really did a great job, and especially the children, you could really feel the mood they were in. When they were happy you were and when they were sad you were sad.
I am giving it 9 out of 10 stars because i really enjoyed it but i am not giving it 10 stars because I thought there were some parts i really did not understand. It is not because it think it was some bad parts, but I just did not understand them.
I can't wait to see how season two is going to be.

I love Ex Machina and this is from the same creator, but has none of it's charm. Maybe this would work better as a movie, but as a TV show it is too slow and boring. Also all of these scifi movies that deal with future crimes and determinism are never as good as Minority Report and never address systemic issues like racism. I didn't think this added anything new to the genre.

For a starter, i felt a little bit off and confused on the first and second episode. However, from the third, it is getting better and you will figure out the way they tell the story and it makes sense. Henry Cavill is amazing in this series.

Every second of this amazing production has me spellbound, when each episode is on I'm transfixed to the screen. I cannot praise this production enough. It's the best piece of television I've watched in a while, GoT only coming close in recent years. Truly Mesmerising! 👍🏼

Do not believe the hype.This film is average at best, started ok but soon became a bit of a bore.Not the best war film i have seen, far from it

Right up there with final approach as worst Sci Fi ever, absolutely terrible on every front.

Marvel movies are well-,known in having excellent CGI, great production and plenty of expectation. Unfortunately Marvel has lost its touch in storytelling.
This one is absolute rubbish, at best. Pointless and old fashioned, pumped up with modern FX. "Bad witch tries to capture good girl while hero uses evil to save the day." How original!!!
Watch if you're a die-hard fan who has to watch, but you would be better off spending your time watching grass grow.

Soundtrack . . . NOISE att rising accellerating volume. Å train noise appearing att every "exiting" moment. Letting you know: Exitement coming... But nothing exiting present in the movie. Unexiting. Bland. Characters uninvolving. The 4 of us ranging from 16-65 hade the same experience. There are att least 100 war movies bettet than this one. And the I don't think we have overrated the "noisetrack" or the "movie". Don't waste your time or money in this one.

Until the middle, I had thought that this movie was epic. But I couldn't understand well and wondered its integrity from a scene of five dimensional space. Maybe I was sleepy.
I should watch it again another time.

I have to admit that I was less than thrilled with this show's beginning. I didn't think the characters were well defined and the plot seemed very lackluster.
I did continue to watch, though, and I am glad that I did.
Each week, the characters are developing and the chemistry between the actors is getting better. The writing and the quick witted dialog are classic Joss. It just took some time to work out the kinks.
The story lines are getting tighter as the show goes on. Also, as each character develops, there are questions raised that keep me coming back each week for answers.
I'm glad that I stuck with this show and gave it a chance. It is turning out to be a great ensemble action show that I hope will last a long time.

A group of young people like to party with a mysterious amputated hand. They play a game where they hold the hand and say the phrases, "Talk to Me", and "I Let You In". The participant becomes possessed by a spirit which is akin to a drug high. Mia is still struggling with the lost of her mother and has clung onto her friend Jade. Sue (Miranda Otto) is the mother of Jade and Riley.
This is an Australian indie horror. Horror is the genre well suited for a simple idea to go big. That's what we have here. It's a simple campfire horror story and it's so good. I like the characters. I wasn't sold on Mia at first, but I could see the potential. I would have wanted a bit more on her background although the movie does well to drop a couple of clues. Quite frankly, she's better as an orphan. Her big scene with her father could be done with Sue. Ultimately, I love the premise, the characters, and the execution of a well-earned personal struggle.

deserves an 7.Milkha singh himself told his story to the writers.This should be wonderful film if the length is short and movie will end with its ever-lasting expression and can be stayed in mind for a long time.But nevertheless it is a good movie as compared to other Hindi movies like chennai express&salman khans all remake films like wanted,ek tha tiger,dabangg&dabangg2.And the acting of farhan akhtar is wonderful.It is better tan the other Hindi stories like paan singh tomar.So, it can be said that real milkhas story is wonderful.But the producers must be changed.If any better producer have made the film,it would have deserve like rating of 8.4-8.5-8.6.This movie would be far better than that.

I strongly believe that even people who did not have any special interest on Spiderman found the original Tobey Maguire trilogy at far more interesting than other superhero films. Why? Because simply these films (and especially 1st and 2nd) were very human-like, and especially moving! For example, who does not remember the original uncle-Ben scene?
However, this new version of the spider man story is just too flat, and too poor compared to the original. Weak performances, poor storyline and definitely a movie without any social aspect or meaning.
For me the only reason to watch this movie would be some action scenes, which however are not that impressive for 2012, and which render this film watchable for only a small minority. And I have to admit that the relatively high rating really surprises me.

While the names are all industry (gangster) standards, they all played their respective parts as if historical performance was a predictor of future performance. Kind of like buying Blockbuster stock when Netflix first came out! In this case, Netflix gambled and lost on the bet that the players would repeat history. Nope...all very flat and drawn out. Even Pacino's overacting could make up for the rest of the cast's underacting... Stop giving this charity stars!!! It is a solid 5/10...but I'm taking 3 off for emphasis!

Just another book adaption given the woke treatment. Everyone looks the same. Every country look the same. Multicultural dwarves and elves. It makes zero sense It's a book based on medieval Slavic mythology. I give three points because Henry Cavill is great. But with the current lot of (ideology driven) writers everyone is doomed.
Just another fantasy infused with modern day politics practized by a small cult in LA.

Severely overrated movie. Doesn't live up to the hype. Would not recommend.

A good example of a season that could have done with being a few episodes shorter. Fantastic story that was slightly dragged out which resulted in the show feeling very slow at times. Still a good show well worth watching.

I dont care how visually beatiful it was or how the sound tracks were amazing. If a movie cant hook me in then its a bad movie. Dunkirk just failed to hook me in. Half way through the film i was tempted to just leave the cinema because it was so boring, a childrens movie is more intresting than this one

If you ever clowned on the prequel star wars series please do it some justice by attacking this show equally! Can someone please explain to me how 30 minutes of exposition to start a series in a mostly known universe is a good choice? This first episode showed how little the writers understand this world just watch the tourney and compare how many died vs yielded. Trash writing.
Trash storytelling (honestly felt like i was watching the summary of a fanfic story). What a let down!

Yes a fantastic piece of technical film making but actually not very involving. Quite slow at times and no real stand out moments. Were was movie set? France? Belgium? Didn't really explain. Will win Oscars but does not compare to Sp Ryan' Dunkirk or Hacksaw ridge. That said it is something to deffo see just lower expectations.

It's the best Indian movie in my opinion. From acting to cinematography, dialogues and music everything was top notch. So sad that SRK didn't get national award for it and this movie was a box office failure. That train scene is probably the most powerful and emotional scene that you can find in an Indian movie.

LETS NOT WASTE TIME! karan johar need to go back to film school and learn to direct films, yes direct films!!! not steal films, this film consists of stolen work from multiple Hollywood FILMS!...Forest Gump, Rain Man...direct stolen scenes with dialogue, those who have praised this film needs to consider the fact that artwork has been stolen, this trend is infamous in bollwood. one can hardly praise anything in this film, once you recognise the extent of mockery they have thrown upon the original craft work of Hollywood..SRK needs to prove himself as a actor instead of imitating others performances...his very good at this sort of mockery...all in all, AWFUL!!!

Oh puleeaasseee this film has already been made 20 times over the last 50 years. I believe in recycling but don't waste 3-1/2 hours of my time watching elderly actors reprise old roles. Bad enough having to watch Trump hog the airwaves repeating The Apprentice. Hit man as hero? As they say in New Joisey, get the **** outta here!

Good sci-fi is never about space battles or time travel. That kind of stuff is just something a good writer uses to mirror or illustrate something about our own society. To that end, Lost in Space DID make a noble effort to show a society in collapse due to the collapse of the family unit, and to give it credit, it didn't shy away from showing the darker side of feminism and its responsibility for this. Some commenters have claimed the mother (Molly Parker) is an appalling character: selfish, judgemental, know-it-all. She's all of that, certainly, and I think that was kind of the point. All the way through, pretty much until the last couple of episodes, she puts HER needs and HER wants ahead of the family as a unit. She wants to colonize space: the family goes into the programme. She wants to drag the kids along: they get drug. She decides she doesn't need her husband anymore: kids, we're all going to Alpha Centauri, oh, not your father...And yes, the show DOES try to depict men as not being entirely worthless creatures. The unhesitating willingness of the father, Toby Stephens, to go hand to hand with a bunch of giant alien eel creatures to save his daughter, for instance, is celebrated as a manly virtue. All in all, it should be an edgy and thought provoking series. But it isn't, for two basic reasons. One is the breakneck hurtling from one cliff-hanger to the next, often scenarios verging on the horror genre. The other is the fact that the characters are just so unsympathetic. You really don't care about them. I'm not sure why, but you don't, and that's death in a TV show.

A perfect rendition of what modern day superhero living and being would be like. Perfect level of feeling. Perfect level of action. Perfect level of gore. A must watch 👌🏼

While I wasn't thoroughly impressed by the plot or character development in the two days of events that unfolded in this movie, I must say it was circumvented by amazingly choreographed actions sequences and stellar camera movements (similar to that of a story sequence of a video game). Definitely one of the best action movies of the year.

For a change the subplots were more engaging that the main story arc.
Marvel's success is can be measured by all the talents that shows in the direction, acting, background score and cgi. Just the main story arc continues to be teenager level.

Hard to know where to begin. I couldn't figure out if it was the writing, the editing or the directing that made this such a mess, but probably a bit of all 3. It feels like the Shannara Chronicles style wise, so cheap and not thought through. The story makes no sense, in fact the art of storytelling, so strong in a production like GoT is wispy and weak here, it feels like this was made by a committee, with no one person steering the storyline, and you end up scene after scene wondering what on earth they are trying to do? Casting wise Cavill is too good looking for the character he is playing, there is no depth and it comes across as 2-dimensional. Nobody else stands out to be honest. Maybe the next few episodes will improve, but it looks doubtful

Despite an insanely boring trailer, I decided to watch 'There will be blood' against my better judgment. I should have trusted my instincts... 'There will be blood' is about a family who discovers oil on their land, and the people that want to get their hands on the property when news breaks.
This is a very long (and utterly boring) film with way to much talk, talk, talk, talk.. and at times just silence with no dialogue at all. If these extra scenes ended on the cutting room floor like it should have, the film would have been faster paced. Uhm, wait, no, doesn't matter because this (yawn) was still a boring movie... Credit where credit is due: Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano delivered fantastic performances. These are very talented actors who always give their best.
As for the film, not my cup of tea.

I must say i like the premise, and it's visually very well made. I was really looking forward to this. But what made me stop halfway through to take a 2 week break from it was the sheer amount of stupidity. I thought the cast was fine and did a good job with what they had to work with. Had there been less stupidity in the show i think people would've liked the cast more.
Apparently in the future we develop the worst security ever since a person can, not only sneak onto a spacecraft, but also onto a space station and then further onto a colonization ship. I mean, what? And apparently in the future we don't need manifests to account for crews, so stealing another person identity is a thing. The robot is able to understand English, and synthesize "danger Will Robinson" but not any other words. Through the entire show not one tried to establish a better way of communicating with the robot.
I actually felt worse for the robot then i did any of the crew, i didn't really care if any of them died. And yet the first and highly advanced alien technology ever to be discovered is destroyed by a kid because he gave it a vague command. All they had to do was tell it "defend your self with every means necessary without killing or dismember any humans" done. But not one of these supposedly PhD smart people thought to help the kid in how to phrase his commands.
When i watch this, i often find my self rolling my eyes thinking "idiots"

First of all, I understand Chris Nolan as a new talent and he is an intelligent filmmaker. Since Memento, he has not disappointed me. This movie doesn't have a befitting title. It is hardly about interstellar stuff but more about the movie of so called bonding with father-daughter. I have seen some of the most intriguing movies ever like psycho 1960, Last Year at Marienbad 1962, Dial M for Murder, Strangers on the Train, Dark City and other masterpieces like 2001:Space Odyssey 1968. Also some of best work of past century. I have also seen many cheap, horrible and "not great" movies. I think Christopher Nolan has ripped off many scene from other movies. I have seen many shots already been used in other movies. The originality is not there.
What I liked in this movie:- Decent acting, good production, good screenplay,
What I didn't like in this movie:- Confused theories, generic soundtrack, OK..visual effects, lengthy as hell, bad attempts to rip off exact same shots as in 2001:Space Odyssey, miserable ending, nonstop funny quips, OK sound mixing and editing and so on. The movie all the time refers to "they" but who is this "they" is not cleared up. Chris Nolan just made up stuff out of his imagination like black hole is supposed to be like this, wormhole is supposed to be like this. As I know, wormholes cannot be seen but they might be created by some future advaced gadgets or machines. There cannot be any disturbance in wormhole.No any"they" can do that(if can explain..how??). The Spaceship they travel into doesn't say a thing about how they travelled to The Saturn without burning any fuel. If the circle structure had solar panels around it, then I could buy it(but sun doesn't heat farther planets like Saturn so I won't). Too much funny quips as I said. Some scenes feel serious with some spooky shots but the next thing, you know, some funny quote. Big dialogs like, "saving millions", "saving the humanity" blah blah but make stupid progress. The world and surrounding is established by dirt clouds and that is it. No profound setup of the world. Matt Damon is "shoehorned" completely to get audience's tension. Other half of the movie is not about the mission anymore. It is confused all in itself. How Matthew got back on earth ? Blackhole could lead him anywhere but earth but he comes back ? Is he hallucinating like Dave was in 2001: Space Odyssey ? Also how did that Murph survived the earth's atmosphere for over a good healthy century(oh she was on Saturn or whatever!!) Time and Gravity were not shown correlated with each other in a deeper way. I admit that Chris Nolan had done some research about gravity and time so he could somehow calculate the time spent two planets or he is clearly bluffing.
I loved some great stuff like that 4 or 7 dimensional (don't remember but maybe 5) design but I don't know if it is a exactly or remotely likely. But who put it there? "They"?I reviewed this movie as exactly how I understood so the review is a little messy. I gave a lot much thinking but I could not understand some stuff. This movie could be a great one if they cut some things and added more meaning and story. By the way, that TAR-S(S-TAR) was a refrigerator with a continuous writing on his monitor without matching with what he was speaking and no robot can be like that..ever. It was a good thought though.
I just saw a movie months ago called Edge of Tomorrow and that made sense more with a good story. I am mentioning that because I have seen about 2000 movies and based on that experience I can say that this one is not so great. Watch a review by Jeremy Jahns on Youtube, you will get it.
Watch Gravity 2013. It was a lot better. If that guy directed Interstellar then it had the potential to be great but Nolan makes Love quantifiable.
In my mind, I give 4/10 but as I am not writing this to myself but to general people I give it a 7/10.

But there is only so long you can keep saying, 'yeah, but the action is great.' And even though the action is great, it is starting to get a little tired. There are only so many ways John Wick can get his ass kicked before rallying round and vanquishing his enemies using a variety of different weaponry.
The storyline is dire. This is the world's greatest assassin; a ghost who can spirit away the lives of you and all your family and contacts without leaving a trace behind. Yet his reaction to being made excommunicado by the high table and having a £14m bounty put on his head? Of course, to walk, run or horse ride straight down the middle of some of the busiest streets in the world. Smart.
Do yourself a favour - fast forward past any dialogue or storyline (luckily, there is scant little) and just enjoy the cartoon violence of the fight scenes.

A synopsis for The Umbrella Academy is misleading - show is not about superheroes at all. "Stern billionaire adopted seven special children and raised them as superhero team to save the world" but background of 'superhero' part is extremely shallow. There are no supervillains, no conflicts or real action and, more disappointedly, superpowers of so-called superheroes are insipid and unexplored. Instead, the Umbrella Academy uses fantasy as decoration for dramatic narratives of dysfunctional family and theme of ordinarity. Why would they choose to emphasise it in a superhero fiction is mystery, plain real life drama would be more suited for such task.
And yet they managed it well. Each member of the family is a plausible memorable character: diligent but a bit arrogant giant Luther, earnest vigilante Diego, unfortunate mother Allison, eccentric clown Klaus who is forced to dampen his disturbing superpower with drugs, calculating former hitman Number Five who is obsessed with saving the world and mere human Vanya. Season 1 is all about these people, about their relations with each other, about initial distrust, indifference, animosity growing into friendship. And it is a beautiful transformation because it is not superfluous. Aside from a few cliche Luther's developments and Allison-Vanya progression steps, the family story is probable and responsive. And Vanya... oh Vanya... "Extra Ordinary", huh? Great, just great. What a shame that such perfectly portrayed theme is resolved despicably idiotically in the end. Yes, the ending is the main fault of the Umbrella Academy. Behavior of the team (particularly Luther) towards one of their own is so dumb and illogical that is insulting.
Let's go back to superhero part. I wrote above that it practically void, which is true, but I have to admit: there are some fantasy elements that make up for this weakness. World ending in 8 days - intriguing, isn't it? Pretty common plot course but the Umbrella Academy version is cooked well. Mysterious time travel agency is another cookie that I liked. The last dish is two hitmen pursuing Number Five through time and space. Well, aside from Hazel's cute love to old lady, this subplot is actually boring - generic and annoying.
The Umbrella Academy (Season 1) is family drama supplied with some captivating sci-fi elements. Such blend is fresh and entertaining for all but last episode which breaks whole immersion into pieces.

This movie was boring. Dreadfully boring. It tried to be light-hearted and funny but failed miserably. Some of the acting was rally bad and cringe-worthy. Maybe younger (target) audience finds it more entertaining than I. There really isn't much more to say.

Ip Man follows a man, called Ip Man, who becomes a prodigy of kung fu and lives life.
And that's about it. Looking back on this movie anything that resembles an actual plot doesn't start until the third act, and I'd be better off not spoiling it.
It's interesting actually how this movie progresses. The first act is a goofy kung fu movie. It introduced the audience to the characters in a fun way, and really manages to make you care about and like them.
The second act is a goofy kung fu movie with a cheesy romance. Considering how light-hearted the movie has been up until this point, it really doesn't feel out of place. It offers up a handful of laughs and more development of the characters and their relationships.
The third act is more of a dark but still goofy kung fu movie. The tone transitions almost seamlessly, and the fights become less fun to watch and more intense thanks to what is now threatening the characters. It still manages to pull off a few goofy moments in the fights, but overall it's pretty serious. Yet somehow it still doesn't feel out of place. Nothing about this movie does, really.
The fights are, as expected, amazing. The choreography is fantastic, and all of them are loads of fun to watch. While some of them were a little forced at times, it was always a pleasure to see these guys duke it out.
My only real complaint would probably be with the characters, but even then they weren't bad by any standard. I still cared about them and liked them, but they just didn't stand out a whole lot
Overall Ip Man is great. Each act offers something new to the movie, yet nothing feels out of place, and all the fights are fantastic. While the characters aren't developed incredibly well, everything else is. In the end I would recommend this movie.

One of the best pilot I've ever seen. Great acting, great drama.. I've been captivated from the very beginning til the end.
Look forward to the next episode.
If the remaning 5 episides will be equally entertaining this series would be one epic masterpiece.

A.nother, fallen, star is ,initiated, born is what this really is, it's a ritualistic film that's been remade several times and the earliest film version is the 1937, really probably filmed in 36 or three sixes, version with Johnny Gaynor confirmed as another pipeline cult product to then sell with shiny packaging but diseased maggots on the inside. We then got the Juda Garlands version later on to then next get the Streisand-yentl version and now this with another cult duo. Both you wouldn't want to be near if you knew what these things are really.
This isn't new in this cult system, similar to the esther story, a beautiful looking young thing catches the eye or makes sure it catches the eye of some established powerful figure and then uses various arts to slither its way into the picture for the fraudulent instant stardom like the old meteor falling suddenly out of nowhere to earth which is just a retelling of the Lucy fall with his thirty three percenters. The eleveners just follow a kabbalistic numerology there of emanations.
We can see this all_the_time in entertainment especially but it also happens in all sorts of other places. If you've ever been around singers you'd see this is standard practice there too but also works the other way with cowboys romancing heiresses and such. The Manroe lookalike and the 98yo etc comes to mind. So you have no real life at all it's just all a business in some sort of typical british-choken alliance from over three hundred years ago. The tribe practices this almost exclusively just within the cult mostly but also in times when that cult didn't monopolize power positions like today it used this tactic, esther being an example. But you can bet the original real royalty was also conquered and replaced in this fashion long ago.
So yeah just more of the same stuff repackaged and the machine then hypes it up as we see here all the time. Check the top films numbered here and you'll see how obvious it is, popcorn sales metaphorically speaking but selling a whole lot worse really.

Well, here's the first ever Steven Spielberg movie i didnt like. Actually its also the first one I pretty much hated. Besides some interesting futuristic concepts and visuals, this movie makes no real effort to be believable whatsoever. It also feels like the writers didnt have a good understanding of videogames or virtual reality. I honestly would've thought this movie was written by a 14 year old. If you're willing to suspend your disbelief the the absolute max, wait till this goes on netflix. Otherwise save your money, it's just not worth it.

I'm not prone to hyperbole and I toss around perfect scores like they were lead balloons. But HOLY COW, THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME!!!! The action was great. The fight scene between the heroes that was teased in the trailers is so awesome. I wasn't in favor of the young Spider-Man because in the comic Civil War story line, he's the one who turns from one side to the other and I thought it would be less meaningful if it were a teenager who was manipulated, as opposed to a man in his 30s but considering everyone else is an adult, the young Spidey is a nice change. He has some really great dialogue with Tony Stark and Steve Rogers.
There's a twist at the end of this movie that maybe some people will see coming but I didn't. It had me whispering "Oh no, oh no, oh no" into my hands. As opposed to Batman V. Superman (you know the comparisons are inevitable) where it's not clear why the heroes hate each other and are fighting, what makes this movie almost tragic is that you know that they don't hate each (in fact, there's a lot of dialogue that states how little these friends want to be fighting each other) but you understand why each hero feels he or she has to.
Black Panther and Spider-Man are really awesome. I guess I could criticize how this movie really didn't set up how Black Panther is able to do what he does but on the other hand, BVS didn't set up Wonder Woman very well and she likewise was one of the best parts of that movie.
Overall, I hope this movie brings in more money then BVS because it is near flawless. This is how you do a team-up movie, D.C. You give us a chance to get to know your characters, little by little, have them grow to like each other and THEN break them apart. You tried to skip to the end, without laying the groundwork and that's one of the main reasons your movie is inferior. I wanted to love BVS but I'm sorry, this is just the better movie.

First let me say that this is one of the worst, dumbest and most boring movies I have ever seen. But why did it get all the 4 star ratings from the critics, you may ask. There is a tale, The Emperors New Clothes, in which in exchange for pile gold, two weavers promise an Emperor a new suit of clothes that is invisible to those unfit for their positions, stupid, or incompetent. They only PRETEND to give him new clothes, and since he can't see any thing he does not want to let them know he is stupid, so he just pretends that the clothes are there and beautiful. Then all of the court councilmen feel that they also must pretend that his clothes are wonderful, and it keeps going. Finally when he is on parade through the town a child cries out in truth, "The emperor has no clothes!"
Because this film was directed by the daughter of a very famous director, all the critics felt it must be wonderful and gave it 4 star ratings, but the truth is, this film has no clothes. It was boring and stupid. It wandered aimlessly and when it got really slow the director tossed in a nude scene to liven it up. The characters were unconvincing and uninteresting, the story weak, the acting terrible, and the overall result a total waste of time. it did not connect at all.
In summary, this is a worthless film which is only popular because the critics felt it must be great, and the public follows them like sheep.

One of the most boring movies I have ever seen. Every time Tom Hardy is on the screen, you can have a bathroom break or refill your popcorn, as there is nothing that will happen that you might miss. Not that pretty,not that deep, not that good. The similar ending of a movie 'Boat that Rocks' has much more feel to it than this one.

This movie brings out the best in Marvel's Cinematic Universe. Every character from Steve Rogers to Agent Maria has their own development. The storyline is exceptionally well crafted to a fulfilling and satisfying ending. The CGI is impeccable as well (and I thought the CGI in Iron Man 3 was already good!).
Winter Soldier has many action sequences as well and I'm sure this will please many die hard Marvel fans. There were many humors as well, albeit they are somewhat mild, but the combined effect of the right placement of humor is extremely gratifying.
The acting of Chris Evans and Scarlett are amazing too. Love seeing both of them together as they always bring out the funniest moment of the movie. Sebastian Stan is a good choice for villain for he brings out the darkness of Winter Soldier and many hidden stories of himself.
If you've watched The First Avenger, it's a no doubt that Winter Soldier is a must watch for you. In fact, it's a must watch for everyone, even those non-Marvel fans! Stay till after the credits have finished rolling for the post credits scene.

The entire show screams forgettable. The animation style, world, most characters, story, etc. The only reason I rated it a 3 is because Season 4 is actually pretty solid. However, that doesn't make up for the first 3 being doggy doo doo trash. Coming from a guy who's watched almost every huge shonen, save yourself some time and skip this one. Also, fan base is pretty toxic. Not worth the hype.

This movie is an entertainer. The acting is good from the cast. The songs are good as well and a couple of them will keep you in humming zone. A different take for sure as it takes on the concept of what has to happen wil happen. Nothing is really in our hand. A total base of karma.

There I was, sipping my whiskey, watching a hardboiled detective movie, but something's different about this one. It's real, and the killer still remains unidentified, unconfirmed and uncharged (I was trying to sound like I was in a Film Noir). This was an enjoyable enough crime movie although, ending with an assumption instead of a conclusion. RDJ basically plays the same guy in all his movies, Iron Man, Sherlock Holmes regular man... RDJ.

After the superb finale that was endgame a lot of us were worried about what was to come next. Were there anymore stories to tell?
Yes. Yes there are.
After Covid gave us no new marvel content for over a year and black widow kept being delayed the future of the mcu didn't look good. But then marvel released this gem on Disney plus.
Wanda vision is a simple story of a woman in mourning and surrounds it with an intricately layered mystery with a loving homage to sitcoms at its center. Disney decided to make the genius move to release episodes one week at a time, keeping the mystery intact and leaving tons of room for speculation.
Wandavision certainly isn't for everyone. It's quirky eccentric and more than a little corny sometimes and I don't blame anyone for not being into it. But for me at least, it shows a plethora of opportunities for the mcu to move forward. I'm glad that marvel has made this bold choice and I'm glad their choice has been rewarded.
I can't wait for falcon and the winter soldier, black widow, Loki, and spider man 3. I'm sure they won't disappoint.

I lived in Hong Kong for over a decade. I wish to say that the setting, mood, and spirit of the series feel authentic. Even inconsequential characters and extras played their part in bringing this drama set in Hong Kong true to life. I can see the producers really cared and know HK well.
This is ultimately a complex drama, that could be set in any city. Characters face moral dilemmas and conflicts. The series does not hold your hand, and leaves you to your own thoughts to decipher what is being said. It's a series you could rewatch and find different details and themes throughout.
Many themes are explored; from existentialism, loneliness, identity, and the meaning of family. Modern themes like what youth in HK are also touched upon.
The cinematography is A-level. It's beautifully portrayed. Hong Kong has many faces. It is both modern and traditional. It is dystopian, yet warm. It has life and vibrancy, but a deep coldness to it as well.

When all is said an done, Iron Man 2 delivers. The question now perhaps is, did we need it in the first place? First things first, Downey simply makes this entire franchise worth watching and waiting for. He's got the Midas touch here when he's the troubled and pseudo egotistical Tony Stark. I simply can't think of a more capable and gifted actor in the last several years who's been able to reposition himself as an elite actor after years of a spiralling demise. What Downey brings to this Marvel tin soldier is depth and heart (even if his seems to be failing). The sequel picks up where the last one left off and for the first hour really has me enjoying these faces again. And with the scope of real domestic issues here, I was captivated. But as the story continues and Marvel simply wants to force feed us the impending crisis (as Sam Jackson seems to keep popping up to remind us) in all various remote locations in the world, we have to start cataloguing what elements are important to the story today and what can be shelved for later. After all, Avengers is still years away. Sam Jackson pops up and then flares up more and more like a case of vaginal warts. He offers the parties involved nothing of substance, but the possibility of a relationship later. More and more characters are introduced, subplots and villains galore and an army of Iron men. All of this occurring at the pinnacle disintegration of Tony Stark. Here Favreau begins to touch on the real dangers that Tony has within him, but finds a quick fix amongst the film canisters of a drunken father. Before you know it, the two hours have whizzed by and you can't help but wonder if you simply watched a retread of of the first Iron Man plot line. The film still works because of the richness of all the characters and it showcases how much the best actors can take what would potentially be a subpar script and make it into a gem.

Interstellar is the kind of film I've come to expect from screen writer and film maker Christopher Nolan, baring his DC Comic related films. The depth of his story telling is engulfing, well executed and always engaging. I tend to find myself considering my watch at least once during most of his films but, that doesn't make him any less of an impeccable story teller and Interstellar is definitely a credit to his abilities (and to the abilities of everyone who had a hand in the creation of this film).
The focus of the story falls slightly more on the content of what makes it worth telling than the characters caught up in the story which I find to be something I see often in Cinematic screen writers' work; writers writing with the greater visual picture in mind but who still have a strong sense of story. Interstellar is a powerful story that could have gotten even more out of its characters, though some of the content would have needed to be dropped to accommodate this; honestly I think it would have been worth it. The challenges the characters are faced with are huge, valuable and in certain cases excruciating. Nolan and Nolan draw on the kind of things that all humans inherently understand without needing to put ourselves in their shoes and Interstellar is littered with slightly underwhelming exploitation of these kinds of challenges.
The story becomes very visual and is very visually pleasing (beyond some of the focus issues) but the narrative loses some of its potential which makes the whole experience of the film slightly 'less' to me. At one point I expected the film to cause a lot of thought but it never quite got there. It constantly feels like you're moving from one point to get to the next point and ultimately the well rounded Hollywood ending. That disappoints me as I wanted to get involved with the moments of the film and not just with the film as a whole. Interstellar feels well planned, well thought through and well executed (even though some of the science feels like a bit of a bigger reach to fiction than the narrative had room for) but, it feels too clinical. The messy element of emotion in story is missing. This story has the potential to tear open your chest and break your heart but it doesn't; we don't want to think about this kind of content, we want to feel it and feelings are messy.
The music understands this.
Hans Zimmer has a way of approaching music that makes it emotional beyond what one would expect to find in a recording studio, but is what we want from our film scores. There are moments where the music becomes somewhat repetitive but in the moments where it connects, Hans Zimmer takes the visual and narrative story and utterly captures the emotions with the score, contributing substantially to the feeling of the film. I always consider Zimmer's use of instrumentation and arrangement when I watch a film he scored as he has an iconic way with sound; the organ and bass drones in Interstellar captures the grandeur and terror of space wonderfully.
Interstellar is an powerful and ambitious film and the film makers succeeded with what I think must have been a daunting task.

Having seen the second film first from Redbox I was hesitant to turn back with this action film. John starts the film as a beat up and depressed "white privilege." Like it says, he is coming out of retirement. As a retiree, he is sitting pretty. He had a home decorator come in and his house looks like a womans home. He has those decorative pillows from Pier 1 and some Candles. He lost his wife/gf. So he's depressed. Clearly he misses his woman. He gets a puppy to cheer himself up. John doesn't really understand dogs. He feeds the dog a bowl of cereal. Then he gets knocked out by a bunch of thugs (in the dark in his house) and they off his dog. He is a damn fool for not locking his doors considering he is an assassin. Alarm system? Strangely, his fighting skills disappear during this time. Also it is clear he is not a light sleeper. Out for revenge, John Wick digs up his old suitcase of assassin guns. He broke his oath of weapon chastity. Obviously he should of known his career would never be over when people hate his guts. Considering his weapons, he has a variety of sizes. He usually likes the big black ones. I've also seen him put an extender on the handheld. He doesn't like the fully automatic because he wants to move it himself. He oils them up and cocks them for good measuring. I can tell he's a pro after I watched the Matrix. Then he goes and kicks ass for a 1 minute fight seen. After that he goes to that Hotel from the second movie. I got bored with the repetitive rhetoric and couldn't watch the rest. FOUR STARS

The movie has everything everywhere all at once that today's younger audience might want from movies: it's frantically paced, crazily plotted and doesn't follow any of the traditional notions of clarity or coherence. As science fiction, it makes Star Wars and Star Trek seem like outdated museum pieces. It has the feel and look of an endless video game - a movie where rules don't apply and there are no real consequences for anyone, anywhere.
The only ingredient that registers with any brain that might be in the audience is the talent of the performers who, as professional actors, remind us of what better movie roles hopefully wait for them in the future.
Try to imagine trivial, mindless entertainments from the past, like Blazing Saddles or Animal House, winning the Best Picture Oscar; or even higher quality sci-fy movies like Alien or Zardoz - once upon a time, it seems, there were standards. The votes this received for Best Picture must surely have been cast by members who think the Academy has reached the end of the line.
Sadly, maybe it has.

Now it might be just me looking at some of the other reviews, but dare I say it I didn't get it! Well I got where we started and where we ended, but the two hours in between are two hours of my life I'll never get back is as much as I can say. Bizarre doesn't begin to do it justice. There's absolutely zero narrative that gets you from the beginning to the end. It's two hours of nonsensical mind mash. I cannot fathom all the Oscars, in particular, and I mean no disrespect to a great actor, Jamie Lee Curtis. Her character was quirky yet pointless, she did her best but Oscar worthy, no! All I can say is don't believe the hype, this is awful!

I feast on the tears of the haters. Dear lord on the negative comments haha. I thought the casting was good, the music great (actually prefer this theme over GOT). The first episode had good pacing to move the story to where it needed to be but I would've preferred a more obvious cliffhanger as to keep us engaged. I'm excited to see where it goes and will update review once season is done.

In wintery Minnesota, Jerry (William H. Macy) has big problems of his own making. Secretly deep in debt, he has few options, although he is married to the daughter of a very rich man, Wade (Harve Pressnell) and works as the manager of his father in law's car dealership. Wade dislikes Jerry, you see. Desperate, he turns to two seedy characters in Fargo, recommended by an auto mechanic, to kidnap his wife, forcing Wade to pay up. The trio will split the proceeds. One of the would-be nappers, Carl (Steve Buscemi) is a non-stop talker with a loose cannon. The other (Peter Stormare) is a blonde menacing giant who says hardly anything. A car from Wade's lot will be the operation vehicle. Almost immediately, there are problems. Huge ones. A highway patrolman pulls the vehicle over, as it still have dealership plates. As Carl starts to reason with the officer, the giant shoots the cop. They drag his body to a ditch. Not only this, a young couple sees the crime from their car and a high speed pursuit ends in their deaths, also. Now, a small city police officer, Marge (Frances McDormand), six months pregnant, must find the perps for these deaths while Wade, frantic, tries to negotiate for the life of his beloved daughter. Meanwhile, Jerry sinks deeper and deeper into lies and deceit. Despite Marge's pregnancy and small town roots, can she solve these crimes? This tantalizing film has a superb plot, careful direction, and an eye and ear for snowy venues and upper Midwest conversation. In addition, the cast is fabulous, with Macy, Mcdormand, Buscemi, Stormare, and all others pulling off performances of great power. Don't forgo Fargo, even though it has some rough violence. The film's magnitude is richly deserved.

I would not usually give a low rating to a subject matter i actually like (mcu), but if after two full episodes it has done nothing at all to keep me interested there is obviously something wrong with a tv series. I am sure at some stage in the series it will make sense (of a sort) and its possible i may actually like it, but two episodes of an unfunny and un-interesting bewitched style series does not a decent series make, and why the producers thought it would is beyond me unless its when do make the series interesting, the 1st 2 episodes being so bad would make people rate future episodes much higher in comparison? Whatever their reasons for making such mundane tripe as the 1st two episodes, i can only hope its not the shape of things to come for the MCU

I can't believe the rave reviews and the all star cast. I've never been an hour into a film with no idea of what's going on. And I understand astrophysics, and am a sci-fi lover. I don't understand what their goal is at all. Just feels a disjointed version of 'the matrix' Such great actors and cgi for such a ridiculous hard to follow story.

I'm reviewing this as a non gamer and as a show on its own . These game / show remakes are usually pretty average but this one's seems like it's done right and HBO know what they are doing.
The first episode was good and action packed but no better than the first episode of walking dead and the likes. Nothing about it spoke 10 / 10 for me as it's just like any of those zombie shows. It's only early but I don't see it being on par with the greats like the wire , the sopranos , breaking bad just as it's not an original concept .
It looks like it's been over hyped the gamers who have now watched this and It's definitely not a realistic 10/10 .

Well, there is much of glamor in the film through the pose costumes, locations, and the main characters representing the current trend and fashion which may attract the youngsters; but in terms of storyline and script the film falls short for its often predictability and lack of much of the twists and turns. The film feels a bit of a blank canvass owing to its emptiness in the plot which feels a very routine love triangle. The nice music and songs, cinematography, and face values of the protagonists help to hold you for a while despite a very weak and plain storyline lacking a good direction. Perhaps, it won't be a film that you would want to watch again or would stay long in your mind; but may interest you a while for its nice production values and music.
Rating: 1 star out of 4

I like the film in general. But it has a tempo problem and some scenes seemed unnecessary to me. Brad Pitt and Di Caprio made a good job. I have to say that i certainly didn't like the portrayal of Bruce Lee in this movie. It does not add any value to the movie and offends people who love Bruce Lee. I don't understand why Tarantino still depends himself for that. Anyway if you like Tarantino type of violence and the actors go ahead and see this.

I love my share of "who dunnits ?" Sometimes I have to take a break though because I start to feel a little unsettled watching too many of them. This one brings the mystery, but is also strangely a little more lighthearted, as weird as that sounds because it is about murder after all. This was unique in the way it has a comedic, satirical spin that completely works. The three leads are unlikely friends but they have great chemistry together. The ending gets a tad silly, but again, it works with this show whereas it may have not in other more serious murder mysteries. A negative factor is the show's episode is less than 40 minutes and you have to wait to watch the next episode until the following week. At times it feels like more ads than substance. However, can't fault the show for that. Glad it was renewed. Hopefully season 2 has a bit more of a shocking twist and the reason for the murder is a little more complex than season 1, but overall, really enjoyed this!

The series seemed rushed without any real suspense. It might be because of COVID that everything seemed rushed but I never felt the excitement of waiting for the next episode or sitting on the edge of my seat like the other Disney+ shows.
As a minority myself and a fan of the X-Men comics I am used to storylines dealing with bigotry and inequality so that wasn't an issue. The way it was told though didn't have the same effect and felt forced due to the limited episodes. Here's hoping the next Marvel series does a better job.

The movie is a journey of woman from heart broken Bride to a woman who is independent and has guts to take on the world. Lets talk about acting the mighty kangana ranaut who portrays character of Rani to her true essence and she should be commended for her amazing justice to done to character.She celebrates a soulofwoman to her true colours.The supporting cast plays a brilliant role. Lisa haydon,three boys ,brother ,grandma.Lisa haydon plays a important role in discovering queen put of shy and innocent rani.The three friends of amsterdam play a role which could be remembered forever,the emotions shown by the three guys is above par and lifelike.Direction what's should I say hats off that's all I can say although story revolves around two cities still has been able to capture and celebrate the true woman.cinematography captures true city without embellishment. Back ground scores are apt and timely. Everything is too good.
No fuss nothing above the top everything hits just he right note.no matter what people say just watch this movie I am sure you will be delighted when movie(journey) is over.

For a girl who grew up playing with Barbies wasn't at all what I thought it would be. I didn't think there would be a huge plot, and I was so wrong! The movie should be what every woman needs to see. Everyone in it was amazing and perfect (not Barbie perfect 😉). Had an amazing plot that made me really consider how far women have not come in life. I do love the line when a man has to ask for a job in the government and gets told he can have a much lesser job. I can not give it enough accolades. Everyone cast was perfect for their role. America Ferrera and Margot Robbie were perfection for each role!!!!
Will watch again and again!

I only lasted 35 minutes into this DVD. This includes lengthy previews. I looked up reviews as I watched and they echoed what I was seeing in this poorly told historical drama.
No characters, limited dialogue ( like soldiers don't talk or wave at passing ships!). I've fought this battle in video games that had more heart. Sad.

That's the problem with T.V. shows today and this show is one of the problems when it's going to end. In my opinion I'm tired of seeing the same laziness in shows like Stranger Things, Daredevil, Jessica Jones they all just guilty pleasure with no fresh ideas. And Neflix it's starting to become the huge problem of people laziness in finding anything to watch because they bored until the next new thing. Stranger Things is not an enjoyable show for the mind same thing could be said with Mr.Robot it's just guilty pleasure like Pretty Little Liars, Vampire Diaries, and The Walking Dead where they just going to keep dragging out the story until it doesn't make sense anymore. I have to stop this show before I get suck into another show with no entertaining enjoyment where I can relax and enjoy. Stranger Things is another stable show like Mr. Robot until something new comes long nothing is refreshing and no re watchable value like The Fresh Prince Bel- Air,Friends, Cartoon shows, some daytime sitcoms where you can relax and enjoy it over and over until it's call your favorite show you grown up watching where is the excitement in the show; I already been there and seen it before when I was a child. There's no need to go through with this again. A step back to child/Adult memory Stranger Things is nothing new it copies and paste from other classic movies and t.v. shows; it's getting boring find something refreshing you can enjoy to relax your mind, because this is another guilty pleasure 1/10 for this laziness. I will hold my options open until someone create something new and refreshing to call my favorite.

That this movie has won an Oscar for the beat film. Tried watching it and I was hoping at some point the movie will get interesting or less weirder. But it just got worst abd was totally senseless. How could they give this movie an Oscar is beyond my understanding. I am happy for the actors, but since the movie was so crap, I really didn't feel the performances. I do hope the Oscars bounce back next year and award meaningful cinematic movies and not just blindly follow the diversity trend. However please give it a go and see if you can make any sense of the plot. Maybe I didn't get it, but someone else could relate better.

A prehistoric spin on the classic tale of foes to friends, the movie Alpha shows the strength and determination of one boy in his struggle to survive. The movie is set in the upper Paleolithic time period, or around 20,000 years ago. The main character Keda is separated from his tribe and goes through many trials and struggles on his journey to find home. Whilst on this journey he encounters a lone wolf, who at first caused issues for Keda but over the course of the movie they become friends and depend on one another to survive the journey. Much of this movie shows the presence of man vs. Nature, a topic that has previously been done in more modern-day time periods. As the time period is relatively a long time ago, the depiction of how the tribe members dressed and lived is quite accurate based on ancient grave sites and burials. "The persons were apparently adorned with a large number of pendants made from the frontal teeth of Bos, Bison priscus, Cervus elaphus and Capreolus capreolus" (Porr and Alt 2006, p.396). In addition to how the tribe members adorned themselves with animal fragments, their ideology of using all parts of the animal is accurately depicted within the film due to their respect for the animals they hunted for food. One of the biggest aspects of the movie however, is the relationship between Keda and the wolf he befriends and names Alpha. Within the movie Keda originally is wary and afraid of Alpha as he does not trust that Alpha won't attack him. They grow to become close companions, which is historically accurate regarding the domestication of dogs and wolves. It was found that wolves were the first animals to have a mutualistic and domesticated relationship with humans, which in turn led to the domestication of dogs (Bergstrom et al. 2020, p.557). Looking at the archaeological evidence found in fossils, it shows how the bone structure and genetics of prehistoric wolves attests to a close relationship with humans (Bergstrom et al. 2020, p.557). There has been evidence found that showed one of the earliest domestications of wolves occurred 33,000 years ago (Ovodov et al. 2011, p.1). Alpha demonstrates how the relationship between wolves and humans was similar to those now of humans and dogs, with the difference being how wolves and dogs contributed to helping their humans with hunting other animals. In today's age this is still something dogs do, but rather they track the animal down once it's already been killed, whereas wolves may have contributed more to the kill itself alongside the human. Overall, the movie Alpha gives an accurate and engaging story of one's will to survive and how two companions grew from enemies to friends. The story itself was incredibly inspiring, and the historical accuracy of it only makes the topic more interesting to continue learning about. Each aspect within the film gave more knowledge to the viewer, and was educational in the ways in which people of this time period lived and survived off of nature and one another.
