First and foremost, let's just admit Venom is a cool character and has one of the best looks in the superhero genre. However, this film falls short in achieving the full potential of the character. The main issue i have with this film is the poor attempts at humour throughout - if anything i feel it undoes the fear factor of venom and creates a goofy vibe throughout the entire film. The CGI also looks odd throughout and certain action sequences are let down due to this. Tom Hardy is a saving grace for this film and does his best to carry the film's plot and dialogue. Overall, i would argue this might be one to avoid; that being said if you're a fan of the venom character, Hardy and fancy an easy watch then it might be the one for you.

This movie does not make any sense. Just bunch of characters shouting at each other creating chaos , Sandler borrowing money for anything running around NYC . There is no story , no plot just ends abruptly. Not a typical Adam Sandler movie but he has done well. Can be avoided for sure.

Disney should be ashamed. When will they learn to stop touching timeless classics and strive for something new and creative instead? I'm not the biggest fan of these live action remakes, but if you're going to remake a film, at least change it up a little bit. The script was the exact same as the original and the voice actors sounded nothing short of inconvenienced to do this movie. The most atrocious singing and monotoned voices. The visuals were OK but not great. Just a total disaster. Bring Eisner back for Christ sake.

I've never read the books or played the games, but I really like this show. It has very good world building and characters. Henry does a really good job with his character and so has other actors. Can't wait for Season 2 and more adventures to watch. The little issue I have is the change of characters like Triss for example. I only saw the game character and there a big changed there that I wish didn't happen.

After a long, long time I saw a Hindi movie which has no villains, but still illustrates vividly the miseries of life, which has no feuding families but still manages to bring out the realities of love, marriage, and adjustments. There are no corrupt politicians but rather heads of the village, with real issues and real ego; but still clearly human; the real people. There are no events for shock values but still the storyline is gripping. Perhaps it is not for teens and young people in twenties, who would rather be in a dream world idolizing a person with super powers. The movie is as realistic as any of my Desi colleagues I meet everyday at work here away from my Swades. Such a simple story but so well presented. After having to watch stupid Hindi TV soaps every evening where women are either screaming or slapping each other and less said about the male roles the better, it was a real nice change to spend yesterday evening watching this beautiful movie with the whole family. I really like movies that leave me in a happy state of mind. This was definitely the one; a rare one; a jewel.

The Russo duo has managed to handle this ensemble cast of superheroes and their personalities with a certain deftness of touch that has to be seen to be believed. Black Panther, Spiderman, Captain America, Black Widow, Winter Soldier... well, pretty much all of them put in some seriously convincing performances. Downey Jr's Stark-isms have been dialed down here, allowing us to get a glimpse of his real side, as being more than just a one-liner machine. But truth be told, it is Evans who steals the show.
As for the action and cinematography, one word - amazing. The climax action sequence at the airport is something that might just leave you breathless. It is 17 minutes long (but you would be craving for more) and is straight up the stuff of legend. And no, entire cities and buildings need not be leveled to make a good group fight scene.
Rogers' mistrust regarding new-world values (compared to the time he was from) is nicely explored. His unwillingness to compromise on his code is seen to great effect. There is darkness, there is depth, but the important thing is that the element of fun is also most definitely present. Oh and needless to say for Marvel-movies, do stay for the post-credits scene.

Basic, lame, cringy I wanted to poke my eyes out after watching this garbage but unfortunately that would not make me forget this show so now im going to hang myself

All characters are deep in their role, especially Jeetu Bhaiya (Jitendra Singh). He is an excellent performer. The story is simple but well exaggerated. It's just a superb web series to watch. No problem in watching with your family as it doesn't contain any mature content, but only foul language in 2-3 scenes per episode if you can handle it. It's a perfect watch for you and your family's entertainment. My rating is 9/10 because some episodes feel lengthy, and season 2 has less humor but full of emotions that can make you feel emotional 😢.
Both seasons deliver a deep meaning and focus on social issues.

The Lion King is what I consider one of the greatest animated films ever made. From the songs, animation, story, characters and themes of growing strong through adversity and family are what makes this film stand the test of time.
This remake does nothing original only copies the original film but does it worse in also every way mentioned above. The CGI is good which is the only point I will give the film but that also lead to another flaw of the characters eppresion's are lost due to the realistic portrayal of the animals. So what's ment to be a heart wrenching scene is instead with a blank face with zero emotion behind it.
The songs and voice acting are done worse non of them are on the same level as the original from vocal performance to choreography are all done horribly.
Just watch the original try to forget this was ever made. It will please kids better and tells the story better then this shell of a remake ever could.

The latest Marvel series is another inventive and solid entry into their repertoire. Unlike the middling starts that a couple of the other shows had, Moon Knight started with a bang and kept a good momentum throughout. Aspects of the show did happen to feel rushed, but the ending was ultimately satisfying, and I would happily watch a second season if they created one.

Whenever Netflix tries to adapt something, they almost always get it wrong, and before I actually start writing this review I thought it would be crucial for you hardcore Addams Family fans to know that before going into this review that I am not going to mention the accuracy of this film to the source material, because I've never actually seen an Addams Family movie, so I pretty much came into this series blind. So be warned that I will not be praising nor dissing this show for its accuracy.
That being said, I actually enjoyed this show. I've never actually thought Netflix could actually make me enjoy an adaption off of something, and now I have a spark of hope for future Netflix adaptations (my expectations will definitely still remain low for those future projects, but still a tiny spark of hope).
This show isn't a masterpiece, there are a lot of cringeworthy jokes that never hit, characters that I would've perfected not to be in this show, but there are still a lot of reasons why I gave this show such a high score.
First off, Tim Burton directed and produced a lot of the episodes, and you can really tell. While I may not be familiar with the Addams Family, I am familiar with Tim Burton's work, and let me say this definitely feels like something that came from the mind of Tim Burton himself from the camera angle decisions to the dark and silly moments in this show, and that I will praise this show for.
The camera shooting decisions in this show was something I greatly appreciate. There were many beautiful and unique scenes that were shot in a lot of creative ways, and the fact that I've never actually heard this being praised by anyone is mind blowing to me. Camera shots have always been underrated from critics and should always be praised when done well.
Something I've heard a lot of people praise this show for was Jenna Ortega herself, and they weren't kidding, her performance basically carried the entire story. She really did a great job portraying Wednesday as this sarcastic sociopathic goth, and while I was expecting that kind of performance I never actually thought she'd make threes elements work as an interesting character, especially since she barely shows any emotion throughout the entire show. Jenna Ortega hasn't really impressed me in all the roles I've seen her in, but after this I'm kind of excited to see what else she can pull off in her acting career.
The story itself was fine, it wasn't groundbreaking but it still had its moments, and the fact that this was a murder mystery made me enjoy it more since that's the kind of content that I typically enjoy, and I was definitely not expecting in a story like this.
One issue I did have was with the other characters that I feel like slowed down this story, and that mainly holds its place with the love triangle between Xavier and Tyler. Wednesday has shown to not be interested in boys and I think they should've kept it that way as she works better without a love interest in my opinion. This love triangle was here for filler and didn't really serve a purpose until the last two episodes.
Wednesday is definitely not for everyone and I can see why some people don't like this show as much. It has a decent story that is is engaging with Jenna Ortega's performance as Wednesday having a detective-like personality throughout the show, some amazing camera shots, and I think it's worth your time to at least try. There are a few fillers, but for the most part they're still entertaining, and they all end up tying into the main storyline by the end which makes me appreciate those filler moments that I didn't care for, and because of that I think this show is worth your time.

Please let there be more venom. I know this didn't follow the comic completely but I still enjoyed watching it. It was fun. Definitely a fan of the character. I hope they continue on with another movie.

I didn't see Barbie in the theater (but I don't see many in the theater anymore) but I had seen glowing reviews as well as friends who had seen the film and recommended. By the time I was able to view the film I had high expectations. There were certainly extremely funny moments, but for me few and far between. Gosling was singled out by many as the best in the film and I agreed there were enough outlandish moments with his character that earned him that. But, I thought that Michael Cera's character Allan was far funnier, even though his role was more of an extended cameo. I can't deny that Margot Robbie was an exceptional Barbie but overall I was disappointed with the film. Gerwig went a bit too far with her support of women's rights (which I do support). It may have been the build up prior to seeing the movie that actually resulted in it not reaching my expectations. I've had that same issue with other films, however.

I'll start off with the positive. This movie is visually stunning. The graphics while far from perfect, are spectacular nonetheless. The three stars that I gave this movie is for that reason, and that reason alone. Seriously, great visuals.
Now it's time for the hard truth. This movie was NOT good. Not even a little bit. Recycled story lines, recycled rivalries, recycled trials and tribulations. It was like watching the first movie all over again, except this time it was done in an alternate universe where everything felt less than the first movie. Don't get me started on that human kid spyder. What the heck was that? His character is so cringe inducing, that I couldn't even stomach a second viewing of the movie when I tried to watch it to see if my opinion could be swayed. It was horribly bad. If this is the direction the Avatar franchise is heading towards, I'm afraid they're dead in the water. They won't get away with mediocrity in the third film like they did with this one. The anticipation for this movie was so high, and it falls short by a long mile. Extremely disappointed with this sequel. All flash and awe, zero substance and captivating story.

This film is disappointing after the first Iron Man film. I had very high expectations but it did not meet them. The best part is probably the suits, technology and effects. However, the villain is uninteresting and the emotion is gone. I didn't mind watching this but I didn't enjoy it either.

Great cast wasted on utter stoopit. The doggie steals the scene.

When I saw the trailers for this show, I was so excited. The hype stated that this would be in the "Star Wars" vain of SyFy. Lots of action / adventure. But the first four episodes (that I've watched so far) has been more in the drama vain.
I know that characters need to be 3 dimensional and the interaction between the characters is important but I was hopping for it to be more action and go. It's a little slow and a lot of talking.
I grew up with the original and I have no problem going in a different direction. Let's face it there will only ever be one Dr Zackery Smith. So I accept that you can't recreate that original magic. I was was just hoping for an exciting escapist adventure show that took you away from your day to day, for an hour.
I've always been one to give a new show a season or two to find it's feet, get the characters established and st the tone, so I'll give this new Lost In Space some time and let's hope it kicks into high gear.
Ps. I am very impressed with the effects.

I don't know whether to give it a 9 or a full 10 . This was arguably "one of the" Best MCU shows in History .
Each episode was better than the Last . The Humor was for once needed and Great . And really Good . The Show itself was Very Confusing and Mysterious.
The First Episode was Really Confusing . The Plot Made sense after episode 4 . And the Full Circle at Episode 8 was Awesome. Episode 8 was the Best One . And Episode 9 The Finale was the Second Best .
I didn't know what to expect as I had no idea what was happening . I had a brief thought it could be House of M like storyline but Wanda had never displayed Reality Warping powers . So this was a surprise .
I really liked what they did here . The Best Start off for Phase 4 .
The only reason I didn't give it a Full 10 was the obvious disappointing Ralph Boner Joke .
The tease was amazing but the reveal kinda ruined the mood a bit . But the ending the costume and the post credits . Set up a lot .
Overall One of The Best Shows in MCU and Even Overall other Fandom Shows History .

Season 3 is typical woke garbage. Feels a lot like the writers were frothing at the mouth to turn Homelander into their version of Trump. Everything woke turns to sh**

I was highly entertained by Bird Box, and Sandra Bullock played her role good and convincing (bullying her seems en vogue to some people) like she did e.g. in Gravity. Her presence was one of the few things that makes Bird Box a better movie than the average one.
Anyway, if you like movies like Blindness (2008), Los últimos días (2013) or e.g. Quiet Place you will like this one too. And honestly, I don't care who is a copy cat of whom (there seem some discussion here) - I am already satisfied and glad if I get served something of some originality in our modern times cursed by pre- and sequels, reboots and rereboots and whatever director's superfinal cut...
Not the most original plot, but a well made flick for the aficionado of post-apocalyptic movies with some decent ideas. Watch, and don't bother with all those rate 1 and 2 reviews.

Like most sequels Iron Man 2 fails to live up to the lofty high standards set by Iron Man (2008). That being said Iron Man two does some nice world building for future MCU films introducing War Machine and Black Widow and also getting a better look at Shield and Nick Fury. This sequel often gets hated on and there is a reason for that with the plot genuinely being decent the execution of this does not pay off. The stakes do not seem as high as they were in the original and what seems like a big enough story is actually quite small scale.

The plot of Fargo is nothing new, it is a simple plot with simple characters in a simple environment, and therein lies the brilliance. The Coen brothers have taken this simple story, put it in the simple environment of North Dakota and Minnesota, and created a brilliant portrait of life in these rural places.
From the scenes with Norm and Marge conversing in bed to the dialect used, from the mike yanagita story to the food that marge eats, they all create this beautiful portrait of life in these rural areas.
Fargo isn't about a murderous rampage of a kidnapping gone horribly wrong, its about the simple lives of simple folk, shown through a crime thriller. This movie gives us a clearer sense of our reality by showing us another aspect of it.

It has been a while since Bollywood has brought out a three hour epic, and therefore I was apprehensive about the audience response towards Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, which runs close to 189 minutes. Predictably, a couple of youngsters began texting on their cell-phones ten minutes after the movie began. This activity however stopped after a while, and the theater hall became unusually silent and more responsive towards the film than the PJs (poor jokes) messaged by their buddies on WhatsApp. The girl besides me too paid attention (reacting stupidly with a 'Eww!' every time Farhan bled or spat) as the movie paced towards its finisher. Just at the end, this same girl who spent the last two and three-fourth hours cackling at the most inappropriate moments (carrying all the symptoms of a 'Dumb Blonde', except she was brunette) said what can be the best way to summarize this film: Every subplot has been stretched too long. I too had the same thought running in my head, but to hear these words from her mouth made it easier for me to understand why this movie doesn't work the way it should.
Director Rakyesh Om Prakash Mehra has indeed stretched each subplot to a four hundred metre stretch when he could've ended it all in a hundred metre dash; this wasn't unexpected really, as his first and probably the best effort to date Rang De Basanti itself lumbered as it came to a tragic close. This is a thoroughly entertaining biopic Bollywood style, which looks back at itself, frets that it hasn't done enough to honor Milkha's glory (and enough to become commercial), and so adds more and more till it exacerbates its weaknesses and exhausts us patience. It's like watching a Life Time achievement honoree who just doesn't know when to end his speech; you either need a Professor Umbridge to 'Hem Hem' him or a Meira Kumar to cry 'Baith Jaiye!'.
Anyone who has seen Orson Welles' Citizen Kane will remember how Kane's life was seen through the eyes of different narrators, each giving an insight of his or her experience with the publishing tycoon. No one says anything he or she cannot know, and that's what makes their stories fascinating and believable. Now what would be the chances of Milkha Singh telling his coach Gurudev that he had slept with the Australian girl on their Melbourne tour? Or that he had snubbed the reigning Indian female swimmer's advances? Writer Prasoon Joshi thinks nobody would notice this implausibility but it ain't that hard to figure out; the story's framing device could've had two narrators – Gurudev, who would narrate about Milkha's training, and Milkha himself, who would take us to more personal memories using flashbacks. We shouldn't be blamed for going 'Huh?! But how does he know that?' often during the film.
There is a 'havan' song in the film which has stirred Hindu organizations, who demand that the part be removed. Yes, the song should be removed but not for the reason they're giving; the real reason is that it's an unnecessary number beginning abruptly and making little impact on the film's continuity. The romance between Milkha and Biro (played by Sonam Kapoor, who seems out of place in every film she has starred in, especially here where she sounds like a 'Mehemsaab' in a little village) is given too much screen time; far more interesting is the romance between Milkha and Australian Stella, which is dominated by music when words could've made their moments sweeter.
Scenes which could've been inspiring are made insipid with unrequired gags, and many points could've been subtler and more incisive. A cutting remark by a Pakistani coach, for example, didn't require to be highlighted with such emphasis (close up shot of Milkha's face losing color followed by another close up of the haughty Pakistani coach) and could've been replaced with subtle digs usually heard among rivals. The felicitation at the end takes too long to end, and I personally felt the film could've ended right after Milkha's personal journey reached its resolution.
Yet, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is an enormously entertaining and sometimes engrossing biopic (Mehra's especially strong when it comes to transitions; the occasional shifts to Milkha's childhood is especially worth a watch); its lead Farhan Akhtar is a strong presence who is consistently watchable, faltering only towards the end when the emotions he needs to bring are too overwhelming for him. It's funny how whenever I heard 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag!' I could also hear 'Run Forrest Run!' in my mind. That's a line from the Tom Hanks film 'Forrest Gump, an emotionally richer (much richer) movie. Try watching that film after Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and you'll see the difference.

The direction and cinematography in 'prisoners' was nothing short of relative to the probable panic and eerie realism of child abduction.
However, The film lacked for me in many places; plot was god awful, unrealistic in the senses of human behavior, and very.. very far fetched in the realm of noir.
The first 40 minutes of the movie had me thinking that it could be on par with other similar greats like 'mystic river'. 'Prisoners' had me leaving the theater shaking my head and questionably contemplating with myself about how far a person would take matter into their own hands.
A twisty thriller is one thing, but an unreal case of snakes, mazes, and a serial killing elderly couple who against all odds, were separated by yet again a sex offending pastuer? Oh brother.
All in all the movie could have been summed up in the regular hour and thirty time frame. The run time had me looking at my watch every several minutes wondering when the mediocre story would end.
worth watching? maybe. more than once? never.

I cant believe many people like this at all. Its all just a snooze fest of drama and failed comedy. Nothing memorable in this film but all just a bunch of zombie characters talking to each other but in a dramatic way.
This film is something you play in the background when you have guests to appeal classy but no its just nonsense.

One of the best movie of bollywood history.... You can't ignore the acting level of all the cast of this movie.... Legend Pankaj Tripathi, Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

Absolutely the worst Marvel series. Was so waiting for this as I love the comic but feel like they let an art film student direct and write this... Rambling, nonsensical, gaps, hard to follow. Constantly, have that feeling where you wake up and have missed an episode.

YOU WILL REMEMBER THE COMEDY POSSIBLY FOR LIFE BUT WILL FORGET THE PLOT, WHO THE MURDERER WAS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE GOD-AWFUL ACTING!
More of a comedy show than a murder mystery, I only remember laughing out loud especially at Steve Martin's and Amy Ryan's love story plot which was soooo funnys...can't believe Steve Martin is still funny I loved him since I was a kid watching Pink Panther so I'm glad to find that I still love his comedy even as an adult! The acting otherwise in the series is very questionable, feels like we're watching a Nickelodeon show, but since the show is lighthearted I feel like perhaps that was intentional to have bad performance like Selina Gomez's acting looks like she is still acting in Wizard of Waverly and that can also be said about other actors in the series as they all were terrible as a whole which could also be down to the implausible plot which made their acting even less convincing! However, all of the horrible acting and even the plots with so many holes were saved by the genius comedy that has been written into and laced throughout the series! I laughed out loud literally so many times than I could count in this show!
Even though the story and acting was below average I will return for future seasons just for the comedy!

Go ahead..you will enjoy it. Acting has decent all around. Plot is nice , oarti6the way they connect all the pieces

Season 1 actually had a good and linear storyline and was actually funny and the end was satisfying. I don't know why they had to go and make season 2 and 3 because they are just terrible. The plot is a jumbled mess and half the time I don't even know what's going on anymore. The show has become painfully unfunny which is sad because I actually thought the first season had some funny moments. I usually like Seth Rogen but his "jokes" and acting is so bad and cringeworthy. Word of advice for anyone who hasn't watched the show, stop at season one and if you're planning to watch season 2 or 3 DON'T, it's a waste of time!!

Everybody who worked on this movie did a great job, but the story is pretty boring and the movie is far too long... The last 20 minutes are the best of the movie

I saw the trailer for this show a while back and was instantly intrigued. Shot in a "mockumentary" style it follows the lives of three couples who's various members are related as family members. Although the set-up is slightly cliché, a gay couple, a stereotypical family and a Columbian wife and son (from her first marriage) with her American husband, this is where the standard ends. The dialogue is fantastic and at many points I found myself really laughing quite loudly, something which is very rare for a TV show to accomplish for me personally. The casting is also spot on with the inclusion of Ed O'Neill (the infamous Al Bundy!), Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen and Sofía Vergara, with each actor really bringing something unique to the mix. I strongly recommend this show to anybody who appreciates good comedy, the "to-camera" sections of the dialogue have a very close resemblance to the original UK version of "The Office" and for those who are familiar with this, Modern Family will be a welcomed return. Great show, great acting, great script. Highly recommended.

I don't typically like gangster mob films. I tried this film because I thought it would be a good film to see as a student studying film. I didn't like it and I guess I should have known I wouldn't. Cheers to those who do.

Film too fast, everything happens too quickly and without any sense and it is a shame because different themes are addressed that if developed well would have given life to a really beautiful film. However, the film is entertaining and if you overcome the atmosphere of constant comedy embarrassment the film is nice.

This was NOT worthy of an 8.1 I was bored to death. I wish there was a TRUE rating system that didn't allow people to over rate shows becaus they are associated with them, or being paid to hype up the #'s. Even Rotten Tomatoes can't be trusted. The frigin critics ramble on about crap that doesn't even make sense. Just be honest and tell me if it's good and if it's worth my time. NEXT !

I am a big Gar..... sorry Christian Bale fan but really overacts in this paint by numbers predictable nonsense full of pantomime characters and ridiculous dialogue. In its favour, Matt Damon good, production values good....
That's about it!!

If the teasers make you incredibly curious about this movie, I would say you were right. At first, when I watched the trailers I was pretty excited to go see it. However, the movie was a failure. Fight scenes were so complicated, at least in 3D, to catch up. Even the scenes were blur and you wouldn't understand who was doing what. The best fight scene was the last one where Iron Man suits were teared apart. The storyline, was also a stupid idea for Iron Man. Firemen around, what the hack seriously? Oh, girls looked pretty hot with their fire abilities, but there were only 2 of them so it is still a waste of time to watch. I think, this would be the worst to publish as Iron Man 3.

What does everyone reckon, it will be another thriller movie? The one with expected turns and ending for the sake of time?
Watch this to leave ur heart thumping with the cast that is never believed to excel but they turned out to be the best
The Devil is in with everyone!

Sex, Lies and Videotape is one of those films that you have to see simply because it created a major buzz at its time. It's a decent viewing for one time, but it's not something special to write home about. Unfortunately, people have taken it more seriously than what they should and at some points, the movie does the same thing itself. No groundbreaking social commentary is to be found here, just a confirmation that eroticism is based in the mind more than the flesh, which is not that original anyway. Perhaps the eighties newfound passion with home video is what made the difference.
Soderbergh's proficient direction sets the mood and helps in creating tension as the end of the film nears. It's perhaps the best part of the movie. As of performances, a perfectly cast Peter Gallagher tops the list and then comes Laura San Giacomo. I haven't been able to like Andie MacDowell in any of her roles and this is not an exception, although she's better than her average. I especially didn't like at all James Spader, I wonder how he got an award at Cannes!
Finally, the dialogue. At some points, the lines were absolutely ridiculous. Anybody remember the idiotic bathroom lines when MacDowell and Spader first meet? Or the pointless talk about the rain at the end?

What happens when you let a writer, whose only notable past project is 50 Shades of Grey, write a comic book movie? Venom: Let There Be Carnage happens.
The writing in this was absolutely horrific. Nothing about the origin of Venom, Carnage or the symbiotes is explained in any capacity. Plot holes are taped over shoddily, and the build up to Shriek's breakout makes little sense. Since when are symbiotes capable of hacking computers? And into top secret government files in about 20 seconds no less. The movie feels like it was written by a teenager; most notably when Harrelson roars the movie's title from the top of a church spire near the climax for no apparent reason. The dialogue is filled with corny one liners and zingers that never land.
Stephen Graham's character was a bright point but he was given a criminally low amount of screen time. Tom Hardy's performance was great as always, and his relationship with Venom was the only decent part of the movie. It's a shame to see his talents wasted in such a bad film. It's baffling how a property with such great source material can be butchered so horrifically.

This is a great show with fun characters and solid casting. You can tell they put a ton of money and effort into the show and it's been enjoyable watching each episode. The bad reviews all are just attacking the show by comparing it to the old Adams Family and that it doesn't "live up to it". As someone who's seen the old Adams Family, this show is an amazing modern take and I hope they make season 2. Giving a good show a 1/10 because you liked the original better doesn't make any sense for a review? That's like throwing away $10,000 worth of silver because you'd rather have $10,000 worth of gold. Good enough story, great casting, fun character, lots of mods to the original. All around it's a great show and I can't wait to finish the last episode!

Kung Fu Panda 2 is the animated sequel we all came to expect and more. Unlike many sequels, this sequel doesn't really have the same story as the original. It has a new story which explain Po's past and how he came to be the panda we know him to be. It has a new villain, Shen who would kick the original villain, Tai Lung's butt with no problem. The animation is strikingly beautiful, even better than the original.
Jennifer Yu's film continues the adventures of Po and the Furious Five. When the evil peacock, Shen takes over a famed, historic city, Po and gang are sent out to reclaim the city and destroy Peacock and his new weapon that he favors.
This film has the ultimate voice cast. Jack Black proves that he has what it takes to be a successful voice actor. He provides wit and charm to Po who we have all came to endure. This voice cast has an array of talent which includes Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Gary Oldman, and more.
Overall, this is a really fun film which some emotional moments within Po's backstory. I enjoyed the kung fu fighting as always. This movie has a great mixture of comedy and action, thought I remember the original not being as funny as this movie. I rate this film 9/10.

Out of the many anime that i've watched till today (including Code Geass) this one tops the list.
you will find reviews which say that the second half of the show is not good, but that is just half the truth.first off the show starts off brilliantly awesome. i can bet you ,if you like thrillers, just watch the first 2 episodes and you will be forced to just go on watching it. the first half continues to be amazing and the show just gets better and better and better.....
now when i say that first half is simply awesome, it doesn't mean that the second half is BAD. the truth is that the first half is just so consistently mind-blowing. there comes a huge plot twist after the first half , and you think -"can the show go on with the plot twist". well it doesn't . but the plot twists again and we're back to where we were.but we land up with another(even major) plot twist) and show loses its charm a little.new characters are introduced and by the time you get used to those new characters,the show ends.but the ending emerges as ,lets say, as good as the beginning.
so it is only fair to say that the second half is irregular (and not bad).one more thing -YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THE AWSOMENESS OF THE FIRST HALF.it is far more mind blowing than anything you can imagine.
Conclusion-go for it you'll be thrilled for the first half, might be off for 5-8 episode , but in the end you might as well want start watching the show again.

This is the best show that I have ever watched! I got hooked at the beginning of Season 4 and never stopped watching! I borrowed the first three seasons from a friend. Best move that I have ever made. Season One was a terrorist plot to assassinate a presidential candidate. Season Two was primarily about a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles, and later turned out to ignite a war with the Middle East. Season Three was about a deadly virus to be unleashed into the general population. Season Four began as a train bombing and just as Jack thought that the terrorist plot was over, it was just getting started. Season Five is about a nerve gas attack and oil prices (a hot current event topic). Greatest show ever, mass people talk about it and forums allow political discussion and speculation on plot twists for next episode. www.fox.com/24/ is the site for forums and other stuff. Also many podcasts out on the topic of 24.

This is a beautiful film to watch, often surprisingly so. The scenery and the water-life are magical and they make this movie worth watching.
But that's it. The story, such as it is, is a rehash of the first Avatar, with some of the same human characters wasting military resource to seek revenge on the Navi who beat them 15 years ago.
Mr. Cameron, you are clearly a smart man. Your movie is breathtakingly beautiful. Why do you think your audience needs silly fighting conflict to hold its interest. I challenge you to make a similarly beautiful movie in which there is no fighting. You hint at the Navi character... show us THAT.

Movie plot line seemed interesting, but after enduring 30 minutes of background music that washed over all other sounds and conversations I stopped watching. Don't know if my rental was messed up or if this was the directors intention, but it made the movie unbearable to watch. Guess I need to have ten lines of text to submit a review. My opinion does not take ten lines to express. This movie may be more enjoyable to watch with the volume turned down and close captioning turned on. Probably will finish watching it in this manner. Very disappointed that I paid to rent this movie. But I will update my review after I watch and read my way through the movie.

An incredible piece of film-making, but we shouldn't be surprised - incredible pieces of film-making seem to be all that Joel and Ethan Coen are capable of. I have seen and enjoyed every moment of every Coen brothers film and I can't wait to see their forthcoming project, The Man Who Wasn't There.

Good story line. Was tough for me to get used to Daniel Craigs contrived horrible southern accent though. I'm not sure they should have made his character have that accent. Bothered me through the whole movie.

I am sure that I have seen worse, but I cannot remember them.
This film is badly written with little or no chemistry between the leads. The plot is poor and there are so many logical inconsistencies, picking them apart was far more interesting than watching the film. I was SO disinterested in this film, that I left the cinema for 10 minutes to get some muscle relaxant as my back was killing me and the film was going sooooo slowly.
I have registered in IMDb at last after 10 years as I felt so passionately about the need to put on my view of how poor this film is.
AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.

I went in the theater not expecting to like it as much and I was right. It wasn't bad or anything it wasn't that great. It was trying really hard to be as great as La La Land but failed doing so. The music wasn't that great, the song sequences all felt like music videos, and wasn't a fan of the characters (probably cuz there wasn't much character development). It wasn't a bad story and not all of the music was bad. I think The Greatest Showman is an entertaining movie but not a must see. My Grade: C+

As a big fan of the games, I found the Netflix Witcher a big letdown. Season 1 was ok, season 2 was meh, season 3 is hot garbage. Mainly because it was very difficult to follow. Each scene was randomly shot in different unknown and unconnected locations often with a new and unfamiliar character. The conversations were random and unconnected with the story line, the character development was almost nonexistent. So you are left with characters you thought you were familiar with, totally confused and lost most of the time. The DEI was in overdrive with this one and was somewhat distracting. If you are going to have black elves in a European lore setting why not throw some Latino and Asians into the mix? This is just another example of how Hollywood can destroy a masterpiece. The story is so uninteresting you get to a point where you "make yourself watch it", but it's difficult to stay focused. RIP Witcher, what a shame, it had so much potential.

I love Spielberg - he made four of my favorite movies of all time - but file this one under his "missed opportunities" section.
There was a great premise buried deep behind this, a cyberpunk quest with intriguing philosophical elements. The execution is juvenile, clunky and masturbatory though. What's truly baffles me is how set-pieces are visually busy and tiresome: it is, in a word, tawdry, which is astonishing for Spielberg.
This CGI MacGuffin hunt feels more like a barrage of MMORPG trailers than Blade Runner. Pity, really.
5.5/10

Tarantino proofs once more to be one of the most overrated directors of our time, here we have a waisted cast of actors : Pitt boring himself to tears, DiCaprio painfully overacting, ( at least funny sometimes). And Margot Robbie just being blond, watching her own movies, anything else? Ah, yes, Al Pacino, one of the greatest American actors of all time being wasted in an unimportant minor role. No, It's just not enough to show myself ( and the world): I am so cool I don't need to care about a story. There is no focus, no timing, no story-line at all. What's it all about for more than two hours? The only sequence that works is the final one, exploding violence in the most grotesque way you can imagine, at least we are familiar with that. And by the way: rewriting history? Didn't Tarantino use this trick for a finale in Inglourious Basterds before, but more convincing there? 4 stars for set design and camera work., because I am generous.

It's getting so painful scrolling past blatant movie employees reviews of movies,the language is copy and pasted by writers who clearly cannot talk like regular movie reviewers and the constant barrage of 10/10 is a sure sign the review is not worth reading. It's become common now to give 2 stars because people give 10 to what is likely a 7 movie to balance the equation so people have to scroll endlessly for a genuine review of what is actually in the movie. 1917 is a decent movie it's a 6.5 .....we don't all go with our Oscar list ready to chew I off.

The movie starts with an hour of scene-setting, and the flashy expensive settings and special effects are very impressive. But after the effects of these wore off, I still wasn't sure what the relationship was between the super-rich guy and his invited friends. I also couldn't work out what they all did, and how their livelihoods appeared to depend on his business empire. This was partly due to the usual mumbled dialogue and the use of hip slang which I guess I'm too old to understand. And the denouement of the rich guy's "game" didn't make much sense.
Daniel Craig is a good actor, but his Southern US accent never sounded natural. I kept remembering that he grew up on the Wirral peninsula in north-west England, about as far from the southern states as you can get. There also seemed to be a gaping plot line for his character. He said that he had received his invitation to the super-rich guy's island after solving the "childish puzzles" set by a box he had received. But later on it was clear that he had only seen this box after it had been destroyed with a hammer by one of the other characters. At that point, I began to lose faith in the whole thing. In fact, more and more I got the impression that the actors didn't really understand what was going on either, and like me had lost interest.
I persisted for about an hour or so (seemed longer), but then reached the point where I really didn't care "whodunnit", and regretfully hit the exit button. I would describe this as a flashy, on trend movie for Generation Z, good to look at but not one for those of us who want tight plot lines or convincing acting.

We have seen Indian war movies in the past & from that perspective this movie does not surpasses the earlier war movies like, Lakshya, Border etc. Overall story of 'URI' is well known to most of us. Scripting could have been better and so as the picturisation/VFX of war scenes which also could have been better, at least to the standards of 'Lakshya'. But, there are wow moments in this movie too and most importantly, the man him-self, the next big thing, Vicky Kaushal. He drove this movie totally on his own. We know his caliber and I think, he should have got bigger recognition for his contribution in Indian movies like Masaan, Raman-Raghav 2.0 etc. But in this movie his scope of acting was limited. Inspite of that he did magical. So if you love this actor you must go and watch URI................

DevD is modern adaptation of Saratchandra Chatterjee's masterpiece "Devdas" but the characters are loosely based as in the novel, leaving the clichés behind.
Anurag Kashyap is a synonym of vision and he is cultivating the Indian Cinema for the global viewers. While watching DevD you will realize that it is a Magnum Opus of the new generation cinema. The Crew of the movie consists endowed people like Anurag Kashyap, Abhay Deol, Adity Motwane, Amit Trivedi , Kalki Koechlin and Mahie Gill.
The concept was given by Abhay Deol and executed brilliantly by Anurag Kashyap. Set in the milieu of Punjab and Delhi with a scintillating cinematography makes this movie beautiful.
Abhay Deol as protagonist has done a magnificent job. It gives a feel of "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas" or "Requiem for a dream" but in its natural technique. Mahie Gill is awesome in his very first movie as a liberating Indian girl. Kalki is cute and plays her role of Chandramukhi with elegance in her debut.
It is hard to have sympathy or apathy with the characters at the same time. The background score and music is flawless and refreshing with several moods.
Finally it is Anurag who is taking the cinema to next level and the day is not far when we have the Oscar Award. Go for the "EMOTIONAL ATYACHAAR"

I just couldn't get through it. How this film fetched so much attention is more shocking to me than how the Avatar films became so popular. The film, mimicking typical Hollywood films, consists of two plus hours of unintentional ridiculousness and ham-fisted moralism about accepting people, regardless of how odd their oddities happen to be. The film especially lays it on with regard to child-rearing, specifically, how traditionalist parents have an obligation to simply accept their children's novel additions to their family's moral culture and sensibilities. It fails to so much as consider the question of whether children could be wrong or hasty in their changes (they are children after all), or whether the children should work with parents to evaluate them. Here, parents are simply obligated to "get with the times" and support the child's wishes lest they push the child toward evil.
The two redeeming qualities of this film are the gravitas brought by the lead actor (she is excellent), and the strange sense that I experienced in viewing the actor who played her husband. I am going out on a limb in saying this before checking it, but I think he is the same person who played a little boy in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." It was a bit haunting to hear him speak, now as an aging man, with the same inflections of voice and general mannerisms of the child of nearly forty years ago. Other than these items, I can't see clear to lionize this film as so many have done.

Daniel Day-Lewis, as always, does a fantastic job with his character. As for the rest of the movie, it was pretty hard to sit through. Let me comment on this as someone who likes to go to a movie to be entertained and not as someone who goes to movie so that I can comment on the editing or lighting styles. From an entertainment standpoint, this is borderline at best. The story moves very slowly, and transitions randomly and suddenly in 9 and 16 year jumps. It takes 10 minutes before any dialogue is spoken. Huh? As I stated, I'm not one to notice things like filming techniques or lighting. The background music in this movie, however, is atrocious. I knew there was a problem by the simple fact that I noticed it. The music's style throughout the movie is confusing and inappropriate. It is obvious that the director and the composer LOVE to use the violin to induce tension. The problem was, this happened during scenes where there was no tension or suspense.
I'm sure the "art" in this movie is superb, and my inartistic eye can't catch it. However, if you want to sit down and enjoy yourself, try something else.

This is a real classic, and i have to say it this godfather 2 was even better than the first Godfather, if the first won an Oscar as the best film, this one should won more than an Oscar.
In this sequel, Al Pacino comes again as Michael Corleone, now as a Don, Pacino did it really great as the new Family boss, maybe one of his better performances ever.
Also John Cazale performing Fredo Corleone, Michael's brother, we did it so well that i think he deserved the Oscar for the best supporting actor.
But who was extraordinary in the Film was Robert De Niro, performing a young Vito Corleone, in his beginning of becoming a Mafia boss, De Niro, is maybe the best actor ever, and in this movie he was outstanding, even talking Sicilian dialect that he didn't talk. So my rates are.
Direction: 9/10. plot:9/10. Adaptation (from book to novel): 7/10. Pacino performance: 8/10. De Niro performance: 10/10. Overall: 8/10.

Its hard to believe and harder to put it into words. This is by far the best mystery thriller made in Indian cinema across languages. Fast, gripping and a totally original story coupled with a scintillating background score. Performance wise, every single character has excelled. kudos to the writer and director for coming out with such a fabulous story. Last but not the least,This film deserves a much wider audience and it surely will get as i expect this film to be remade in all major Indian languages sooner than later. A perfect 10/10 for me..

My thoughts on the first one are that the visuals are stunning but the story and characters are dull and boring. Not bad but a movie I don't like that much but it is still a good experience for the visuals. The visuals here are definitely better than the first one. I love ocean environments and this is some of the best visuals I've ever seen in any movie. The effects, the creature designs and the landscapes are all gorgeous and once in a while there's a good action sequence. But what doesn't work about the movie is that it's basically the exact same as the first movie. It feels kind of insulting that this movie was in development for 10 years and it took 10 years to write this and it's basically the exact same thing. Like the first one it's visually stunning but the story and characters are the exact same thing.

In this series we see how superheroes would really be in the real world: stars in the throes of omnipotence delusions, how in reality anyone would behave in their place. If a normal person discovers that he has superpowers, I am sure that in a couple of days he would believe God has come down to earth. Who could stop him? In this case our beloved "Boys", a badly managed group of people without great skills but with a lot of luck and a mission.

Absolutely beautiful movie that is a hands down must watch!
Don't let the first five min deter you. This is charming, funny, yet actually deep movies. It explores grief, sympathy, love, understanding, how to be a friend, and helping those in need. It playfully reminds you about your youth, growing up, dealing with pain and sorrow and many other strong motifs. I found it rather profound for a rom com. Korean scripting and acting is just top notch in this, and the sound track is equally as powerful.
I burst out laughing many times, cried a few, and enjoyed nearly ever min of this fabulous K-drama/romcom. a must watch

Great plot, good execution, and great performances made this a memorable outing for me...
First of all, would love to see Vishnu Visal going forward selecting good stories like this. Indru Netru Naalai was a similar selection from him. Here too, he selected a proper psycho-thriller, which I haven't seen executed this well in recent years in Indian cinema. Making a 2hr 45 min long movie takes guts these days. It shows how confident the director was, with the content.
A lot of set-ups and pay-offs are there in the movie, which spring up every now and then making it interesting. The BG Score by Ghibran was great, kept me glued to the screen. The children performed so well in their respective roles, and so did Amala Paul, Kali Venkat, Nizhalgal Ravi, etc.. The twists were believable, and not the familiar one-twist saves all kindof mediocre stuff.
It tests your observation throwing stuff right in front of your eyes, and hiding them perfectly. Worth a watch...

A big disappointment for Thor fans. Intentionally made him dummy and useless. No other Avenger has such a great screen presence than Thor and this was intentionally ruined in the movie. Was expecting till the end for Thor to come back in this movie. It was totally stupid to make Thor like this.

If you want to pat yourself on the back, or feel superior to your friends who don't get all the references, this movie is for you. The story is somehow more empty and meaningless than the neckbeard bible it's based on.
This is for fans of fandom itself. Cline doesn't pay tribute, he makes lists and there's not much Spielberg can do to make that watchable.
Save your money and get a root canal, you'll enjoy it more.

The fact that Tim Burton was not the director of the two films from the 90s' is quite surprising. I'm amazed it took this long for him to do any sort of adaptation to the Addams Family.
The premise is very simple. Wednesday is sent to an outcast school, Nevermore, and attempts to solve a series of murders by a monster within the school.
For those looking for a project that reflects some of Burton's early work, this is it and it is the perfect style for this type of show. I love the set designs and the cinematography is tremendous for a show like this.
This is a show that is really driven by its cast. Jenna Ortega is wonderful as Wednesday, giving a very hilarious deadpan performance. Catherine Zeta-Jones is a surprisingly perfect Morticia. Luis Guzman is an odd yet humorous choice for Gomez. However, my favorite performance, outside of Ortega's, is Gwendoline Christie as the Principal Larissa. She so delightfully creepy, that she fits this show like a glove.
There are only a couple of minor problems with the show thus far. For one, some of the shows scenes with the teenage characters can come off as rather formulaic. Also, one of the highlights of the original source material and the two films from the 90s' was that the rest of the world contrasted the Addams family completely. The real world in this show is very much Tim Burtons version of it, which sometimes doesn't differentiate itself enough from them.
So overall, a great show that really brings Tim Burton back to his roots as a filmmaker. If you are a fan of Burton or just the Addams Family in general, you will love this.

From worldwide fame to the depths of sin, John Forbes Nash Jr. learned it all the hard way. A mathematical genius, he did a titanic job in the field of game theory at the beginning of his career, which turned this branch of mathematics around and practically brought him international fame. However, literally at the same time, arrogant and popular with women, Nash gets a stroke of fate that turns his own life around. 4-

This movie was alright, I mean I understand it but maybe I just don't "get" it. It's a pastiche (which is a fancy word for a positive, nostalgia like satire) of pulp crime movies. Okay. That's a fine premise but the rest of the movie does not compute. I enjoyed the circular and completeness of the plot but it's strange when considered in light of the characters and the themes. I think far too many people take this movie at face value, and that value is a little disappointing. I enjoyed all the actor's performances and undeniably this movie has set a genre and a wealth of movie clichés. But it's overlong and cringe-worthy at points. I just don't think it's a classic.

I have always liked science fiction movies, and this one is pretty good. Nice acting, as would be expected from accomplished actors like Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, John Lithgow, and many others. Great visuals, great score, and a partially good use of the science involved, especially general relativity. We can pass on the wormhole, a totally theoretical gravitational phenomenon. But they completely ignored tidal gravity, meaning in an intensely strong gravitational field, such as near a black hole's event horizon, or crossing it, the force is so strong that it will pull the nearer side of an object much more than the far side, thus tearing it apart down to the atomic level well before reaching the event horizon. I'm sure that this was glossed over because it would be fatal to the plot. But it is still a pretty good movie.

Why are the actors wearing those ugly contacts? Why is the lead character in that cheesy blonde/grey wig with all of that black hair growing out of his face? Why was it soo important for these characters to have these genetic traits. Very distracting and I found it ard to focus on the storyline. Brown hair and green eyes are more beautiful than whatever the Hair and makeup department tried to pull off! FAIL!!

First of all it's an amazing movie full of thoughts and it remember us about our human principal the first thing i can extract is : if you still looking in everything and digging in every subject you gonna lose your mind and you gonna act like anyone else .. just folowing normal and toxic people who are torturing themselves and they want also cause pain to others. the second thing is Hope and imagination ... even you are doing hardwork and you don't have good result, dont generalize your deception ... frustration is real, necessary but it goes because you can turn an overwhelming circanstance upside down .. even you are struggling .. DO NOT impact negatively ... you can cry, you can keep trying, you can also fail again but DO NOT spread negatives waves ... Love, sacrifice, achievement, Respect of promises, make sense .. these terms are real and as much as you believe in it as much as you are close to your goal. If you could not do it, try to help others .. and stay optimistic

I have never fallen asleep at the cinema, but The Matrix is the closest I've ever come to doing so. Quite frankly, the first hour of this film is the most boring hour of film ever.
Keanu Reeves cannot act, neither can Laurence Fishburne, Carrie Ann Moss doesn't do much better. The whole thing is too dark, and let's be honest: If you've seen the trailer, you don't need to see the film, as it shows you all the special effects there anyway.
I've been more disappointed by other films, but I fail to see how this uninspiring and badly acted mess is hailed so much by fans. Any old fool can string together a series of special effects, the trick is to link them with a good story and enjoyable characters. The Matrix does neither.
I'll admit it picks up a bit in the second half, but I was so completely and utterly appalled by the first hour, no amount of bullet time, however impressive, can save this film.
My Rating: 4/10

I loved this movie more than I thought I would!! I laughed, cried, and honestly loved the message. All the niche references made me smile, too!!
Normally I do not rewatch movies while they are in theaters but I am planning on taking my sibling this weekend so they can experience the same joy!
I don't understand the people who are upset over Ken being an accessory to Barbie. It is literally pointed out in the movie how misogyny is a huge problem in the real world and they are upset over one validating movie. Unbelievable. Please ignore the "anti-man" reviews. This movie isn't anti-man. If anything, it's anti-patriarchy and makes fun of it.

Though not particularly deep, the show has its moments and does a brilliant job of alleviating the constipated drudgery commonly found in action anime. Saitama, the "One Punch Man" is a hero so strong that he kills things in one punch which makes for some funny situations. For instance, since he kills things so fast, no one ever actually sees him killing things which keeps him from climbing up the ladder in the hero business.
Though we have seen powerful and bored characters in the past, it is usually the signature of a anti-hero or a antagonist but in this case, its the source of comedy to the show. He is so absurdity strong, that he get depressed when something dies in 1 hit. All he wants is some credit for his work and someone that can fight back and pose a challenge and that is basically the what the show is about.
One Punch Man pokes fun of other anime like DBZ and all the plethora of fighting anime who have useless dialog and endless "power ups" to fill in screen time as if it were fun to watch. In this one, when people monologue, its over the top and meant to be funny. When people power up or transform or whatever, it makes no difference and they get crushed the same as anyone else, which is equally funny. The show moves faster than most fighting anime which helps it stay fun to watch though season 2 felt much slower than season 1.
In a lot of ways, Saitama is the comical version of Superman. The point of the character is not the struggle against evil but rather the struggle to stay good in a world full of violence, bigots, greed mongers, posers and dimwits. Its a good show and definitely worth a look if you like action anime or just comedy.
