If I could describe this mess in one word, it would probably be. . . What-in-the-world-was-i-watching-and-why-does-it-have-such-high-ratings?

The world has learned that Tony Stark is Iron Man causing new problems. Tony met resistance from his business rivals who wanted to imitate military clothing with armor and technology. Followed by a new opponent who wants to destroy Tony's inheritance from his father in Stark Industries.
Iron Man 2 brings a new enemy that seems to me less memorable. Whiplash and Hammer became less than perfect enemies in the development of Iron Man 2. This film has a new conflict with a new enemy that threatens a different side of Tony. Hammer as a business competitor while Whiplash becomes an enemy who wants to avenge him. It's a pity to see the appearance of the two enemies. At first glance, it doesn't have a good impression, especially the less promising Whiplash characters. Hammer's presence doesn't say much in the film either. Less convincing in terms of the appearance of evil characters and less convincing as evil characters. Iron Man 2 presents a conflict that is not much different from the first film by continuing Tony Stark's story as Iron Man. The plot of the story for me has a little dark tone in it from the first film. Iron Man 2 also introduces a new character who becomes a sidekick that matches Iron Man.

Not the Avengers Stan Lee created. Emasculates the heroes, and attempted to sell a new hero. The character Stan Lee created is completely destroyed. Even the abilities are messed up. This is not Avengers.

J K Rowling is perhaps one of the best story teller in this jenre but she needs to stop writing such lame screenplays for this franchise. I think she better write novels or plays and leave someone else to adapt them into screen. This film has so many problems right from the first Fantastic Beasts which unsurprisingly continues with this installment also. This film desperately tries to feed of your sense of nostalgia and franchise building. There are so many plot points involved connecting to the original Harry Potter series that almost it seems for a moment that I am reading some crazy fan conspiracy theory and not an original material (Because sometimes it becomes really hard to wrap around the reality). So many links! Moreover whats that "NON-MAJ" doing? What is his job really? I wish some other writer had made better use of all these plot points. No J K Rowling, apparently it's not your cup of tea.
P.S. - Fantastic Beasts and the whole Newt and his Gang plotline is not the right base for continuing this Wizarding World, I think. And after watching this film I will reiterate that.
P.P.S. - I have to say I am a big fan of David Yates. It's his vision what we see in the Harry Potter films and now the Fantastic Beasts films. He has been a big part of my Harry Potter journey.

I have zero bad things to say, I was worried it would 't be as good as the first Venom but I honestly can't pick a favorite. It's amazing. Their relationship is perfect. So many deep moments. So many silly sweet stupid things. It's in my top fav movies of all time.

The movie was just okay at best.. nothing more! Defintely not original, dont know anything about this entity causing all the chaos, no character development, a bit hard to grasp the idea that someone can navigate/survive for so long blindfolded, ending just fell flat.. I wonder how much Netflix paid Sandra Bullock.. just to come out with another mediocre content!

This is one of those occasions when the sequel is even better than the first film. Director Sam Raimi out-does himself and crafts an excellent sequel. Returning champs like, Tobey Maguire, Rosemary Harris, J. K. Simmons, along with another brilliant soundtrack by Danny Elfman, features a new bad guy in the guise of Dr. Otto Octavius/Dr. Octopus (Alfred Molina). This film moves into the era a Spiderman, that was covered in the comics in the mid-to-late 1960s, leaving the inspiration of the Steve Ditko years in the first film and moving onto the inspiration found during the John Romita SR era of the comics.
It moves Peter Parker (Maguire), into his college years and a set of new challenges, like making it to classes, keeping a job, dealing with Harry (James Franco) and Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst), dating each other, Aunt May (Harris), being evicted and spider-power issues. Sam Raimi manages to capture the pure spirit, that makes Spiderman/Peter Parker a great character. It further proves the Spiderman mantra, that with great power comes great responsibility. Aunt May shows some toughness too in this one. It is also good to note, that you can probably enjoy this film, even if you have never seen the first one.
9.1 (A- MyGrade) = 9 IMDB.

What could otherwise have been a great show let down by poor writing, weak plot and political preachiness from start to end. Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan are both good actors and they deserve better. ZEMO is the only saving grace in this otherwise 'meh' show. Undoubtedly the worst Marvel show I've ever watched.

It's PGA. It's not R and intended to challenge your understanding of math and science or outwit you. It's not G where they hold hands without drama and spell out everything. Its somewhere between that blends together family entertainment
First 6 episodes are nonstop action/suspense trouble moments that I really enjoyed. Yes, some cheesey moments and dialogue and "why would you do that", but lighten up people, it's a scify show for fun. Deserves way better than anything below a 5. If you think it's less than you are not the intended audience

First 2 seasons of aot are nothing special but last two seasons are much better.
The reason i think that it's overrated because people call it a masterpiece and best anime of all time but there is many animes that are better than aot.

Sure, I went in with high expectations based on the things I'd heard about this film, so perhaps it was never going to measure up. But I hated it! It was SO boring. I kept waiting for the action to ramp up but it never did. A few times I found myself yawning and my mind wandering. Sandra Bullock played her usual character (annoying, whiny little wimp) which I also found irritating. Clooney was good though. The great space visuals and the Clooney factor were the only good things about this film. Had they been absent I think I would have given it a 1 out of 10. I saw the film in 2D, but doubt seeing it in 3D would have increased my rating.

Why didn't I love 'Barbie'? I mean it's a brilliantly shot film. It's got a great Ryan Gosling, a very good Margot Robbie. Its heart is in the right place; its message is a good, politically correct, one. Its pacing is fine. Its not too long. So then, what was wrong?
And the answer is (I guess) ... the story. The plot. While it's far from terrible it was also far from great. And - dare I say this? - it was at times confusing. Confusing in that I did not always understand the characters' motives. Why were these dolls thinking what they were thinking, or doing what they were doing? And yes I know we're talking about fantasy here, so we can't be, or shouldn't be, ascribing real human wants and desirers to these ... dolls. But the film's message is directed to humans, as played out through dolls, and so knowing the dolls wants and desires is not completely out of place.
Because 'Barbie Dolls' are manufactured in different kinds of outfits (nurse, pilot, soldier) the film's Barbie-Land heroine, the 'Stereotypical Barbie' (Robbie), believes that real women are equally represented in / by human society. When she learns that is not the case, she travels to the 'real-world' to (a) learn more and (b) help out. What follows is a mish-mash of Barbie-Land male dolls (Gosling) awakening to the benefits of the macho life while its female dolls acquiesce to male demands. That is, until they are awakened by the return of Barbie and some real-world friends. And real-world women's-rights lecturing.
At least I think that was what was going on. I say that because while watching the film it had nothing resembling this clarity. So I guess, consciously or otherwise, I thought about it afterward and came up with that theory.
My way of saying (a) I could very well be wrong and (b) You might come up with an altogether different interpretation.
And I guess that's the answer. Clarity or lack of. That's why I didn't love it.

Grindelwalds goal is to bring pure blooded wizards to power to not only rule the wizarding world but the muggle world as well. Dumbledore convinces his former student Newt to stop Grindelwald and save Creedance so that both the both the wizarding and muggle worlds can be safe.
I'm going to keep this one short because if I wanted to this could be very long. This movie is a disappointment, I enjoyed the first fantastic beasts film and it made me excited for what's to come but this is not what I wanted.
This film is boring there is no other way to put it, they give an overabundance of plots and not enough development for any of them which creates what is one big hot mess of a story.
On a positive side I still really like Newt played by Eddie Redmayne as well as the addition of Jude Law as Dumbledore and Johnny Depp as Grindelwald. Both Dumbledore and Grindelwald needed much more screen time, they were easily the best parts of this film and we just didn't get enough of them.
The other returning characters weren't interesting this time around, mainly because of the amount of plots and subplots in this film, but also a few weird character decisions that just don't make sense.
The visuals were great and we get to see some more magical beasts moments but outside of that and certain quality performances this movie is mediocre.
5/10.

Certainly not a fan of super hero movies but I gave that one a chance because of the fame.
I ought to say every Christian Bale movie is decent, and so is this one but that's the best I can say. The plot is rather childish and I got bored early on this two-and-a-half-hour movie. Classic rich, smart, bad ass but too much generous and selfless batman, that can be fun, not for me though.
If I can see Nolan's impact, it's got to be on Joker. Heath Ledger's acting was outrageous, his role, in my view makes it up for the stereotype, cliche batman movie.
Something I can't really understand was the sound editing oscar. Nice sound effects and all but I could't hear the actors sometimes. Good work on the cast selection.

As a satire of a Musk-like megalomaniac who is revealed to be Twitter stupid, this film had some promise. As a murder mystery, however, it is awful. It continually undercuts its own mystery and murder. It is not smart, funny, or intriguing. The writing feels like the result of a bad coke trip - frantic and empty. The cardboard characters leave the actors little to do but prance around, act haughty, and scream when the lights go out. Seriously. This mystery is wayyy below Murders in the Building, or even third rate TV shows from the last century. Despite the terrible writing, actors like Kate Hudson and Kathyn Hahn go for broke and stand out somewhat, but it is sad watching them have to try sooo hard. Edward Norton is miscast as Musk - a more despicable core was needed. It was mildly interesting to watch Janelle Monae do a Dolly Parton accent (from Louisiana, which doesnt make sense), and watch Daniel Craig do an accent realizing it has been decades since he got to speak sentences. But this runs up against the feeling that this bloated "entertainment" is just a waste of time. I shall not watch another in this stupid series.

This movie was very disappointing. Brad Pitt did an amazing job but other than that I was not happy at all leaving the theater.

Igenuinely had high hopes for this show but the writing looks like it's made for a teenage audience. The costume design is below average for such an expensive production. It's disappointing since I have been a fan for a long time. What does need to be said is Henry Cavill was the only excellent character. The others are alright but the bard needs to be killed off. Jaskier made the show unwatchable.
It also needs to be noted the extreme amount of faux reviews on this Page. Look at the users and their writing. Almost bot like. It looks like someone paid a lot to make this show look ultra appealing. All the perfect reviews are from Hardcore fans that planned on bombing the reviews with 10/10 score on Discord so watch out.

Off the bat, Steve Martin and Martin Short are as close to a guaranteed hit as you can come. Sadly, this attempt just doesn't quite make the bar. In fact, is misses pretty badly. The first couple episodes were cute, lively, and fun. It really felt like the characters were going to develop, but they just stay stuck in themselves episode after episode. After Ep 5, I had to pull the plug. As is the case with so many stories that take place in New York, the characters are anxious, mealy-mouthed, loud, and overly loquacious. We already did that shtick to death in the 70's with Woody Allen, so why are we revisiting that shtick now? Martin and Short need to reduce their spoken lines by about 50% and their characters would improve markedly. That Mrs. Maesel show suffers from this very same problem...way too many spoken lines to the point of boredom. A person just gets tired of listening after a while. I can see how New Yorkers will like this show, but out here in the west, the anxieties of New Yorkers just don't play well. We wonder why they can't get over themselves.
Oh, and all the comments about Selena Gomez being stiff, monotone, uninspired, bored, and rude are actually correct and true. She's just not an actress, but she is eye candy to young men, we're told.
The liberal use of profanity is fun and gives the show a certain authentic New York feel, but the characters are too stilted and unrealistic to actually connect with.

As A big fan of the witcher video game, I was teally looking forward to The Witcher.
I felt season 1, although a bit confusing, was a goodish start, hoped for better to come.
Season 2 I quite enjoyed but was a little worse than season 1.
Season 3 was absolutely terrible, what a waste of time that was.
Main problem for me in the witcher, is he isnt in it enough. When Henry Cavill is on the screen its very good. His supporting cast however is quite poor and they dont hold your attention the same.
You just sorta put up with them till he comes back on the screen.
Show would be alot better if more focus was on The Witcher.

What am I missing here? This was one of the most boring, drawn out movies i've seen. It absolutely does not need to be two and a half hours. Very anti-climatic. I'd rather just watch a documentary on the zodiac. I guarantee it would be more excited. The acting is good though

You get three movies in one with this, and not a single one of them is terribly satisfying.
Scott Lang is in the final days of his house arrest after violating the Sokovia Accords (steep price there) and has a flash of vision that prompts him to call Hank Pym and his daughter Hope. He saw a woman he thought was Hope's mother. They promptly kidnap him because he could be a key in their experiments they are performing to try and get to the Quantum Realm and save her.
But wait! There's more! Hank and Hope need one final piece of generic quantum tech to make their machine work (how it worked before this piece of tech...), and this bad guy (played by one of my favorite character actors Walton Goggins) has figured out that Hank and Hope are sitting on a lab full of high tech things he could steal from them and sell to his other customers on the black market. So, he loses the tech to them and then chases them.
But wait! There's more! There's also a mystery character dressed in gray who fazes in and out of our level of reality who fights Scott and Hope for the tech (which she fails to get from them). This is a girl who's slowly being torn apart for various nonsense technical reasons (involving the word quantum a lot). She barely affects the plot but shows up a whole lot to give speeches and do cool things in action sequences that don't really affect anything.
Sitting through this, I wondered what the story actually was. The only story that actually affects our three characters is Hank, Hope, and Scott trying to get Hope's mother from the Quantum Realm, but they have the ability to get her back within half an hour. They obviously can't get her back too soon because that's the sole central conflict and if they did that then the movie would be over. Instead, they get unrelated problems thrown at them (like Goggins and the ghost) who delay the inevitable. It feels like the original script of this was just Goggins and the core three because Goggins actually does most of the distraction and mischief making. He provides the tech at the beginning, turns on them, chases them, and involves the FBI. The final action sequence even ends with Lang getting a miniaturized building from Goggins. The ghost feels completely extraneous like they looked at the original script, realized it was only 80 pages long, and added in a new character to blow it up to two hours. Instead of fixing the fact that there are no real obstacles to accomplishing their goal by the thirty minute mark, the writers just threw more obstacles at them.
It makes the whole affair frustrating to watch. The first Ant-Man wasn't exactly a good movie, but it wasn't the worst way to introduce a new ridiculous character starring a charming leading man, but this follow up is even a disappointment with that in mind. I like Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas, Walton Goggins, and Randall Park in this. They're charming people and entertaining to watch work off of each other. The problem is that they're just floating there with no story to tie any of it down. Even the bright colorful special effects of the Quantum Realm feel detached from anything else, especially the actors who never interact with anything in it and feel like they're just standing in front of green screens.

The movie is already a powerhouse . Daniel creig, Edward norton, kate Hudson's presence immediately attracts the audience . But what glues the audience is the crafty script and uncertainties of the plot.
The major art of making thriller is keep coming up with something new , don't let the audience guess and writers need to be fresh in the approach. The non orthodox thinker when invites the other disrupters for the murder mystery of his own . The story immediately becomes the fresh one. Add there a global best detective in the form of Daniel creig, the story hits you, hooks you .
A lovely movie from the Netflix to end 2022.

This has the potential to be a great show. So far I'm impressed. Season 1 feels a little disjointed, but knowing the source material, it's understandable. Henry Cavill is Geralt of Rivia, Anya Chalotra clicked as Yennifer and Freya Allan has the potential to grow into her character. Some of the design of the monsters is questionable, but overall I very much enjoyed it.

This is basically the same as the father series but in a parody context so if you like the other series you will like this one. I like humor and I am easy to make laugh, well... this one just made me smile sometimes. I did not see the whole series.

Usually I don't write reviews on here and might be a little biased because I love venom's character and just seeing him on the big screen is awesome to me. But this movie is good. It's got good pacing. All about the action and with what time it does expand on the new characters it uses thst time well in my opinion. Now I know carnage isn't gonna be exactly how he was in the comic books. But this movie eventually with the others will have to fit in with the other marvel movies tone they set. A movie for everyone to see. It's still plenty violent and fun for anyone that enjoyed the first venom. Shows the relationship between eddie and venom. It's just a fun comic book movie. Give it a watch before you listen to the negatives. Also stay for the post credit scene. You wont want to miss it.

That's the movie, there are some "special" gems, bladerunner soundtrack, Howard's "bad" relationship with his family and business, and he trying to have luck...

Why the hype? I have no idea. Fortunately I had one advantage over the audience at the theaters: fast forward. It was so painfully slow throughout, by the middle of the movie, I was thinking this is either gonna end like the usual suspect or dumb and dumber. It became clear after the lawyer read the will. I mean, think about it, even before the sweet and caring Marta can gain control of the assets, she has to clear a lot of hurdles. The family members can file for a court injunction, sue her for wrongful death, undue influence and theft. If she's really lucky, she wins every legal battle and gets to run a small company, but does she understand corporate accounting and intellectual property laws? If she's less lucky, she gets to settle all the lawsuits by selling or giving away all the assets to the circling sharks. If she's out of luck, she'll be incarcerated and tried for murder. The old Thrombey had basically put Marta in a living hell. If I were her, I'd give up all the assets in exchange for not pressing charges and move to Uruguay and live a normal life.

Its a must watch for every Movie lover especially for those who loves psychopath serial killer movies. The movie is a Mystery Crime thriller bomb with great performances by both the Protagonist & Antagonist. Background score just adds as the "Cherry on the cake", making the film a mystery masterpiece & the eerie music will give you some sleepless nights as well;) .Highly recommended to watch in original language(Tamil) rather in dubbed versions. Best thing about this gem is that the script is ORIGINAL and hasn't been copied from any Hollywood/European/Korean cinemas. Kudos to the filmmaker.

Just as funny as the Patrick Warburton version but with better visuals and deeper plot lines.

This series has an amazing atmosphere and truly reflects the book. There's an excellent acting especially by Ben Mendelssohn ( Ralph ) and Julianne Nicholson ( Glory ). This is a sci-fi/ ghost horror story so Stephen King fans won't be disappointed. If you expect a true detective crime- this is not for you. The only reason I'm giving it 8 stars and not 10 is the horrible new Holly Gibney ( Cynthia Erivo ). She just ruined it for me. The Holly character from books was weird and OTC but also very kind, shy and did not have much self esteem. Erivo's playing doesn't reflect that whatsoever. I so much prefer the old Holly ( Justine Lupe ) from AT&T Mr Mercedes series. But overall it is a great series and really worth the watch.

FAN- PERSONAL FILM REVIEW DISCLAIMER: (This is an unbiased and personal film review and should be treated as personal perception only). FAN seems like an outrageous emotional roller-coaster; quite loose in scripting; especially the second part & over dramatic than expected, predictive in inference. When watching the film all should be swayed away in the emotional and enticing journey of Gaurav (junior) who believes in monotheism and his god none other than SUPERSTAR Aryan khanna (senior); both enacted by SRK. Till intermission the film seems to be at its best and is immensely engaging. The second part, unfortunately starts to loose its plot and the script is in bits and pieces. More the story progresses, more the count of yawns are visible. Peculiar to its own credit, the film seems to be directed by two separate directors- part 1 by the creative genius we experienced in 'Band Baaja Baarat' who builds the plot and takes it to a level of what we call a "good film" & part 2 by the one who destroys the same good film into a so called 'filmy version of Tom & Jerry'. Sadly, much better expected from a director like Maneesh Sharma; Namrata Rao could have done more of the good editing stuff as in kahaani and Band Baaja.. & lastly Habib should have spread his magic a bit more in the screenplay rather than loitering around the same predictive melodrama. PROS-Excellent acting by SRK(Gaurav's part to look out for), Vishal-Shekhar's crisp music, interesting first half (which will at least save half of your ticket charge!!) and some touchy dialogues to remember! CONS- Making a film with such strong acting & such loose scripting is itself a crime ( a more villainous crime than Gaurav beating up Sid Kapoor) Scores: On a scale of 10 Acting- 8.75 (there is always scope for doing better when other casts are involved) Music- 7 (hummable and catchy) Editing- 5 (no answers to how Gaurav got so much of money by selling a cyber cafe that he can reach & stay luxuriously abroad in exotic locales for days to take his revenge, where from Gaurav learns to pass the fake ID check (that also abroad, not in India), and what the half baked characters do after Gaurav's sudden death?! Screenplay - 3 (Nothing to express in writing) Overall, FAN certainly seems to try hard to be on the same footsteps of DARR, but SRK's great performance cannot save the day, making this film "AN ENDLESS CHASE OF NOTHINGNESS" :( My heartfelt condolences for the cute Gaurav and those who went to see the film! ;)

Selena Gomez is a magical elf. She has managed to bring the two old geezers back to life in the best thing they ever did (but I still like Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid)
I loved the musical. It tied into the story in a literary yet silly way. At some points (like the white room) it was even genius.
Season One was clunky and I hated the frozen cat and poisoned dog part. They just couldn't give up cat abuse in Season Two with the allergy thing. Which was the low point of the otherwise much better season where they were more accustomed to their characters.
Season Three was a Tour de Force of buttkickingness!!!
Martin Short's efforts also did not go unnoticed.

This show was surprisingly good and very enjoyable. A dark twist on a superhero story, imagine a watchmen TV series. Some great characters, Butcher, Homelander and Starlight had the best stories. It's dark comedy meets action and the special FX were top quality. It's one of the best.

This movie is more a comedy picture with plenty of soft porn and eye candy provided by the lead actress.
A leading ballerina in what seems to be 1960's Soviet Union is compelled to be a spy by way of going to "Whore--school"; there then follows all sorts of intrigue and double dealing.
The film also manages to bring in more current issues such as gender equality, gay rights and lots of ways for women to fight back against men who take advantage of them.
Sufficiently entertaining yet totally ludicrous there are also plenty of fake Eastern European accents speaking English and clearly this flick is seeking a part two.
It gets a 6 and a half rounded down from me.

What do you get when you remake a lousy 1960's TV show with even more nonsensical plot lines? A cringe fest! Your lost on an an alien planet and you send off a distress flair? Really? I stopped watching after EP1. Stupid show based on a stupid show. Bottom line is when you start with a turd the best you can expect is a polished turd. This is only a partially polished turd.

A lot of fuss over nothing, if you ask me. The only performance of note here is Keitel's, and even that is far from his best work. Jumping around the time line may make it look "smart" to mellenials, but I still don't get why Tarantino is such a big deal. He is an unoriginal hack, who uses the same handful of parlor tricks repeatedly.

Mani Ratnam's latest is no classic and yet it's great how he manages to make a biopic so interesting (Yes, I would certainly classify it as a biopic - the similarities to Dhirubhai Ambani's life are far too many to be just coincidental).
And so what if the protagonist succeeds using not-so-honest means. Today's audience is not naive enough to believe that a Gandhian approach will take people places in this day and age.
Abhishek Bachchan excels as Gurukant Desai - a role tailormade for him. But the surprise package of 'Guru' is Arya Babbar. The otherwise flop actor puts in an understated performance as Gurukant's righteous bro-in-law. Wish there had been more of him in the second half. But Arya disappears after a row with Gurukant and the director doesn't take the trouble of tying up this loose end.
There are several other good performances - Mithun Chakroborty, Aishwarya Rai, Madhavan, Vidya Balan. But the real winner is the script which is taut and never allows audience interest to flag.
Another plus is the music. People say A R Rahman's music in Guru didn't quite touch the heights of Dil Se or Rangeela. But when you watch the film, the songs just seem to blend in and help take the story forward. Even Mallika Sherawat's hummable cabaret number.

When I watched this new TV show, I always remembered the first episode of season 4 of Dark mirror - USS Callister, which is parody actually on Star Trek. This TV show looks same as a parody. Visuals are great, but very poor acting ruins everything, I just don't believe anything what happens on the screen.

First, the concept of this film is almost similar to Quite place however this film failed to reveal not only how that trouble making creature looks like but also failed to reveal how to end it ( a permanent solution).
For the first time I felt, one should have more patience to watch a thriller/horror film as the screenplay of this film is very slow and characters talk with low tone almost all the time.
Overall, its worth watching a film only if you are a thriller movie lover

Full disclosure: I had to stop after 8 episodes. I did not finish the series. I cannot imagine that finishing the series would magically erase the terrible script and character choices / development of the first 8 episodes.
The show is based on the premise of two supposedly really smart young adults growing in terms of their romantic bond over time. However, the seemingly idiotic choices that each make over the course of the series are dumbfounding.
In each episode, there are scenes where I just want to shake each character and tell them to wake up and not be an IDIOT. This series would be 3-4 episodes long if the two leads would just talk to each other like "normal people". The show simply drags on and on and on.

A well acted, produced and directed film - However, this is aimed at younger people and doesn't have much in for the older Holmes fans. The story is a little thin and the plot could have done with a little more texture. Great if you're 15 - Not so good if you're 32 and an SH fanatic.

Honestly one of the best TV shows I have ever watched it in my whole life. I loved the modern adaptation of a 19th century literary stories. The performance of Benedict Cumberbatch is absolutely perfect. What a real talented actor 😍 Of course Sherlock Holmes would never succeed in his cases without the assistance of his dear John Watson, I really loved Martin Freeman for being of a great help to our beloved detective. Also, I liked the other characters: Mycroft ( Mark Gatiss) big brother is watching you, Jim Moriyati ( Andrew Scott) you missed me, Mrs Hudson ( Una Stubbs) I am not your housekeeper, Molly Hooper ( Louise Brealy) and a lot of other important ones. I highly recommend this TV show. You won't regret wasting your precious time watching it

I'm going to be honest. I probably would not have completed season one if Henry Cavill wasn't playing Geralt. He carried the show on his buff, broad shoulders. Although there were some fun fighting scenes, the show was just too corny for me. I can't pinpoint it, but something made this show just incredibly cheesy. I'm sure some of it was cringe-worthy sfx makeup (the colored contacts and half-baked mythological characters were awful), a script that constantly flip-flopped between being corny and taking itself way too seriously, and a constant rattling on about DESTINY. Other than Geralt, the characters were generally unlikeable and static. Yennefer was particularly irritating. It seemed as though her character existed to complain about getting the things that she literally asked for. I'm not going to pretend I didn't enjoy some parts of the plot and certain aspects of the characters, I just feel like they could have been executed so much better. I will probably watch the next season when it comes out, so watching this show is not a complete waste of time. If you are looking for a show to watch just for fun, you don't want to have o pay attention too closely, and you're good at avoiding some second-hand embarrassment, go for it. You might really enjoy it. Hats off to Henry Cavill, he was enjoyable to watch.

I just saw Wonder Woman for the first time. I was expecting a lightweight popcorn action movie, where I could just shut off my brain and enjoy some PG13 action...
Now there are many issues with this movie. The special effects are questionable at best, considering this is supposed to be a blockbuster movie. The story is about as flat as the Bolivian salt flats.
But what actually restarted my brain into working condition was the depicition of the german (soldiers) people... I am german. And I felt ptiy for the people that actually think this movie describes germans as we are or were at the time!
Germans are portraied as stupid, cruel, heartless and incredibly violent people. Now, as this theme has been apparent in many movies since the second world war. (Germans usually are portraied as either stupid and/or ruthless in their efforts) This movie was so much over the top. It was a propaganda show par excellence, that made my blood boil red hot in anger. I am not a german nationalist. I see myself as a European, who wants all of Europe (and I also would refer to Russa as a European state, as about 80% of the Russian people actually live in Europe) to live in peace and to aim for a common goal of unity and prosperity. But this movie acutually makes me hate America and its views of German people, German heritage and German behaviour toward others.
The people who made this should be ashamed of themselves for creating such a pile of garbage!

When watching Daily Lives of High School Boys, some people will remember memories from when they were at school with their friends.
And will make you remember the past memories "Oh.. I did it in the past with my school friends".

To be honest, I couldn't finish 'Now You See Me'. I was too put off by the snooty characters, and the attitude of the film which just seems too pleased with itself. Also, the story wasn't interesting enough to keep my attention.
Many reviewers have praised the acting, but I didn't think it was very good at all. The dialogue is forced. Isla Fisher's character is little more than eye candy -in a very short skirt- to ensure viewers.
Some have said this film represents a new economic model of movie-making. Based on the number of "best movie ever" reviews on this website, it would seem that spamming IMDb with fake reviews is part of that model.
This is not a good movie in my opinion, and certainly doesn't warrant a sequel, but we all know they'll make one. And the media will say how great it is, because it's not quite as terrible as most of the dreck coming out of Hollywood.

... from all the tea breaks I had to take. This movie failed to hold my attention at all. OK, maybe for a few 30 second intervals. Yes, the CGI is good, but so are a lot of other movies. The sound is good, but so are a lot of other movies. None of the actors seemed to have to make much effort, probably because the script and plot were pretty much irrelevant.

I don't know, I wasn't very impressed. The beginning was rather a drag, I did like the plot in the middle, but it fell apart quickly for me and it crashed at the birthday party. Watchable, because it's unpredictable, but too hyped I guess or maybe it's just not my style.

Someone else nailed it. I go to movies to have fun. This one---re eh. Personally I say consider renting it. It's a little known hero. Not quite lighthearted enough for my taste. On one hand Tchula and the cast tried. On ther hand to be honest Thor Ragnorok for was simply more fun. Because it doesn't take it self seriuslly and was gloriusly fun.
Imo it'd work as a rental, not so much as a go to the theater thing.

I'm giving this 3 stars because of the way Crowley walks. Best and only good thing about the show! Besides that, it was unbelievably disappointing. My husband read the book, and he was flabbergasted at how they took such an enjoyable story and turned it into an unenjoyable show. They could have put this whole thing in one movie. Because I literally had anxious feelings throughout the last 3 episodes because it was like the show was on a repeat loop. The same things were being said over and over again. I don't know how many times we were like, "Oh MY GOD!" because of the repetition of scenes. It was painful. The witch character was pointless in the show too. Her whole story really. The comedic timing was off for sure. So many jokes were the lamest. John Hamm was boring as heck. Aziraphale was a sissy. And the worst part - the inconsistency of their powers was so annoying. It was all just to make the story the way they wanted it, instead of sticking to a structured, consistent storyline. This really ruins the quality of a show for people who have a bigger attention span! Don't waste your time. It's bad.

What can I say, these scores 9 and 10 when people say it's the best show ever, I am sorry but its not, as well as its not the worse show, I would say an 8 is pushing it but I can let it pass.
I haven't played the video game but if a series is based on a video game or book I probably think the books and game is better just like the Witcher or Tombraider.
Now why do they have to associate a strong woman as an unsffurable one like Ellie and make the Joel a pushover. Example of a likeable strong woman Laura Croft, Ripley and Sarah Connor.
Also what is it with episode 3, why they have to include a gay couple just for the sake and they have no relevance to the plot?

To All the Bollywood fan's you should watch QUEEN not because it has a good story no it doesn't the plot has been used numerous times but the journey of Kangana from a shy obedient Rajouri Garden Delhi Girl to a confident open minded today's modern girl is quite awesome. The small moments the little subplots that define Kangana's character is brilliantly written and filmed. Bollywood often becomes predictable but this movie isn't, u ll never be able to guess that such subplots would appear. The dancing of drunk Kangana in front of police scene, the sex toy shop scene, the boob pressing scene there are many more. Kangana's acting is brilliant even the side characters have played their part perfectly. Amit Trivedi's Music as always is amazing it suits the movie there are brilliant songs within the movie which has not been promoted in trailers plus oh Gujariya and Hungama Hogaya would rock any party. Director Vikas Bahl does a brilliant job. Only part where they could have done better is cinematography it is average. This movie falls in the category of very few good women centric movies that Bollywood has created and you can count them on your fingertips. Consistently entertaining i am going with 8/10 rating for this movie do watch it.

Mostly season 2 based review: My gracious. Jonathan Majors may have the worst affected stutter ever. Absolutely terrible and darn near insulting. The rest of the story is tied up in nonsense, and only held up by performances of Wilson, Hiddleston, Raw, Mosaku. It's utter nonsense. Pretty sure Disney is just phoning it at this point because they know people will want to watch.
I dig lots of these actors. This is a bad vehicle. This has bad accents, affectations. They aren't great. Writing is awful. Storyline jumps around without reason. Disney should settle down with trying to be "smarter" than their audience.

When I first heard about the "Hannibal" television show, I was ecstatic. I was especially excited to see Mads Mikkelsen as everyone's favorite cannibal psychiatrist, and boy, does he nail it. He makes the show. Sure, the rest of the primary cast is good, Laurence Fishburne is stoic, educated, and patriarchal as usual, and Hugh Dancy isn't half bad as the tortured Will Graham, but for me, it's really Mikkelsen who brings home the gold. Every bit as chilling and calculating as Anthony Hopkins, Mikkelsen also brings something new to the role of Hannibal; his accent. Mikkelsen has a very distinct Danish accent, which to some viewers may be a turn off, but I find that it adds a more exotic element to him. Not only does it make him seem more foreign and threatening, but it requires closer attention to understand what he's saying, giving his words an impact proportionate to the focus needed to understand them. In addition, "Hannibal" is the only TV show to ever make me cringe about anything, and at times it can even be a little scary. All of these elements, plus excellent writing and rich character arcs--well, for Graham and Lecter, anyway--make "Hannibal" good enough to eat. (Sorry, I couldn't resist the cheesy pun.)

This geniunely might be one of the worst movies ive ever had to endure. I', currently looking at a review which referes to it as "The Shawshank Redemption Of Comedies". That might be the most disingenuous words that have ever been uttered.
Not a single joke in this movie lands. Not a single haha, nor giggle, or snort. If I had a noise meter next to me as I watched this the only sound it would have heard would have been my audible groans. 90% of the jokes in are cheap crude humor which hopes the vulgarity will make you laugh rather than portray any intelligent jokes. The filmakers came across as tasteless.
The hype around this movie is probably the most astounding thing about it though. It gets referenced in media and top 10 lists everywhere yet when asked, not a single person can name something positive about it.
Overall, a truly painful and excruciating experience that i would never put myself through again. If you thought Cats (2019) was a thrilling watch then go right ahead buddy.

Episodes: 1-6
As a big Egyptian mythology admirer, I was very excited for this show. But this show wasn't as I expected. The writing and the dialogues were mediocre and the direction and most of the performances were unsatisfying. May Calamawy was outstanding and delivered a satisfying performance.
This show felt expensive and cheap at the same time. Visual effects looked like it was done by a six year old on a Windows Vista. Kevin Feige need to hire actually talented people for these kinds of important shows. The weakest Disney+ MCU show yet. Episode 4 and 6 were the only good episodes with some decent moments. But Episode 6 ended confusingly without explaining some important story aspects of this show.

If you are a fan of mysteries or action dramas, this is a no brainer. This show has a perfect mix of dialogue and action for all the action hungry audiences. There are moments in these first 13 episodes that are very unpredictable and add even more interest with the show. With the defenders saga being accessible on disney plus now, you 100% should watch this show. If you get hooked, there are 2 more seasons plus all the shows in the defenders saga. If your a marvel fan and haven't seen daredevil, what are you doing! Go watch it.

This series is yet a spark of old paradigm. So few bad guys that the ones that are there are so super smart at being evil instead of showing of a potential, a new side on a new planet. The series is supposed to be futuristic yet somehow some tech is even behind our modern day tech, which turns a whole episodes upside down.

In Christopher Nolan's climactic "Inception", Dominic Hobb, an expert dream thief specializing in corporate espionage, is given the possibility to return to his family as a reward for executing the seemingly impossible task of planting an idea into someone's mind. All the while, Hobb must battle the secrets that lie beneath his own subconscious.
Honestly, I was expecting much more from this film. But it took me around 10 tries to sit through its entirety. Not only is Inception's runtime bulky, we aren't introduced to all of our key characters until around the 50-minute mark and it takes 90 minutes for the epic plan to take motion.
You kind of have to watch it with company in order to stay hooked. Your viewing buddy will have to keep you focused, because it is far too easy to get drowned in what feels like a clunky, massive information dump (in the first act). The excess exposition bogs down the pace of the story, which is so difficult to follow with all of the dreams inside of dreams inside of dreams...
The talented cast gave sterling performances, with Gordon-Levitt being my personal favorite. The best thing about Inception's editing and cinematography is that a great deal of the visual effects were shot practically and were admittedly stunning. And while the third act is a bit drawn out, it is undeniably the best part of the film. The intercut action sequences feel a bit more cohesive. It was great to see the team in action rather than the team in talking.
To say the least, Inception is WAY overhyped, has an acquired taste, and did not exceed my expectations. In true Christopher Nolan fashion, this movie comes with an avalanche of too much exposition to stick to your brain that comes hurling at you at a snail's speed. But when it hits you, and destroys everything in sight, it's something to see... I guess. 68%.

Making movie with train character is easy but Nagraj has made this movie from scraps mean boys from slum society who were not aware about acting and all.
No one director till date made such type of movie. He always used to give chance for poor and common people in his films.
From this movie we can learn :- Boys from slum society have no career objective due to their education but they can make their career in sports where education doesn't matter. Only they need coach like Vijay Borase (Amitabh).
Apart from this there is one celebration for poor people from society like Dr. Babaseh Ambedkar Jayanti which is unique festival and it is famous in Nagpur. Director tried to explorer this in his movie.
OVER ALL BEST MOVIE,REAL STORY. EVERYONE MUST WATCH.

The Outsider is such an amazing series!
Never have I done so much before while watching a series, letting it unfold in the background, being it multi-tasking or passing out from the hypnotic boredom that the series so marvelously and skillfully induces.
The pace is ultra slow, it is painful to follow and keep your interest alive. It could have been easily squeezed into a 4 episodes series.
The cast and characters are insipid, uninteresting and unlikable. Not one of them is worth following.
The script and story are horridly dry and uneventful, aside some scenes throughout. Not much makes sense and even lovers of supernatural stuff may find themselves throwing the towel.
Congratulations to all executives involved for bringing a novel to TV and wasting trucks of money in the process...
Watch, enjoy and don't forget to praise and give high ratings!

At the time, the GOAT superhero movie...
time's a b%$#&
i copy and pasted my spider-man 1 review because i feel the exact same way about 2 {part 2 updates in brackets}:
"Set a new precedent for superhero movies. Used to be one of my faves. Having said that, it's very outdated. Not just with the CGI (which i can forgive), but with the movie as a whole. Very slow with long drama scenes {in part two there is a, no exaggeration, 40 minute long period filled with nothing but emotional drama}. Some stupid parts and things that make no sense {LOTS in part 2}. And too campy, even if sometimes intentional.
I still feel nostalgia towards it, but i can't keep it at a higher score when this is how i feel about it now. Sad to say, it's not really worth watching any more. I'd watch spider-verse and ASM2 five times each before i'd consider watching this again." (about 8 viewings, 6/25/2021)

Liked Andhadhun? Watch this ASAP. Monica O My Darling is a fantastic movie. It loses pace a little bit in the second half, but the background music by itself makes this an amazing movie. Major props to Radhika Apte, I looked forward to seeing her every appearance. So many twists made this a great watch, it definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat. I had very different expectations based on the trailer but not only was I surprised, I was fascinated by the way the story was told. Kudos to Raj Rao for keep working on unique concepts like this. Indian cinema is evolving, see it to believe it.

Just completed The Witcher . Very confusing in parts and each episode could of been watched out of chronological order as it had a stand alone feel to it, didn't seem cohesive enough but a special effects masterpiece nevertheless. The CGI was stunning and beautifully blended in , it didn't seem over the top at all . Just wished it had a continuous feel to it . More cohesion in the story was needed for me to give it a higher rating than 7.5/10 Can't wait for series 2 . Out next week I believe ?

Full disclosure, I'm only three eps in but I don't think I'm going to watch the rest. Although the casting is really great and it was a really good idea, Bodyguard gets and F for storytelling.
First of all, lots of lingering shots of Richard Madden with his signature clenched jaw muscles does not cut it as a suggestion of depth and a troubled mind. They really needed to go further and risk Madden not looking 'hot' all the time to convince us that he's as unhinged as the show wants us to think. Madden did his best with this character but there really just wasn't enough there to work from. I didn't care about Madden's broken relationship with his family, or his two-beers-after-work "drinking problem".
Second, Keeley Hawes' character's actions and decisions in her job seem always motivated by emotions and conveniently always seem to be centred around her relationship with her bodyguard. It's very soap opera-ey to place a character in an office shuffling papers while thinking/talking about their personal life and call it work. Also, bloody hell there are a lot of terrorist/assassination events! It's like the writers didn't think we'd find the plot compelling unless A LOT of lives were in danger. Hawes' character had NOTHING in the way of backstory or depth. For how much screen time she gets, she was a really lacklustre shell of a person.
There are so many great political dramas that Bodyguard can look to for good storytelling while presenting relatable characters and believable scenarios. I appreciate Netflix giving it a go, but I think HBO remains the home of excellent drama for now. It got a 3 instead of a 1 bc I liked the actors.

I was really looking forward to seeing this movie as I am a big fan of the director but this movie was a complete yawn, slow, tedious and boring, the action scenes were underwhelming, the characters were forgettable, it failed to convey the magnitude , drama and spectacle of Dunkirk. I won't mention the music.

Despite the actors doing a tremendous job, the script is off the rails and Netflix has taken a promising series I was very excited for and ruined it. Now Henry Cavill isn't coming back after season 3 which has been a train wreck of a season. I've never been more disappointed in a show that had such good material to use. It's enough to make me want to cancel Netflix. I don't mind small alterations to characters but they have completely changed some for no good reason and they have skipped some important stories along the way. I recommend for people to skip this series and stick to the books which are excellent. 6/10 based on the actors doing a great job and for a decent 1st season.

Ok, so I'm not a Tarantino fan. The guy loves film, and loves references to film and to 20th Century pop culture. So, the film meanders around for 2hrs, with lots of extended scenes of people driving too fast to parties or home in tiny stylish open top cars. It seems like most of the scenes were irrelevant to any story line but were a self-indulgent delve in to some semi-historic events so that Tarentino could reminisce. The final ten minutes were a twist on an actual event in Holywood, and was probably the nub of an otherwise plotline free film. Had Bad Pitt and Leonardo de Caprio not been the stars, it would have been an exceptionally dull film. However, this film showed they both have an amazing screen presence with Brad literally being engrossing even when he's just opening a can of dog food.
The question is, was it a film? If I had been editing it, it would probably be 20 minutes long, the rest contributes nothing to the story. Thus, it's more like an extended mockumentary on 60s Hollywood but with no real thread.

First of I've got to say that this is a masterpiece in combining a story with action. Yeah explosions, fighting and stuff - but you actually care about it all.
Secondly, here is my good/bad summary:
+ A damn good story! The conflict is built up believably and there is a reason for every choice a character make. It's a dramatic good vs good fight and you are conflicted in who to root for. There are several parallel stories, like the introduction of the new character Black Panther. Such parallel stories risk to mix badly with the main story but here that isn't the case. 10/10
+ Action (duh). Not only it's fantastic visuals, but it also help telling the story. If you love explosions and fist fighting: you'll love it. If you love fleshed out fights where you really feel something: you'll love it. 10/10
+ Cinemaography. What to say? The visuals perfectly set the tone of every moment 10/10
+ Acting. Very good. Every character feel true and relatable, you can feel their inner conflicts. 8/10
+ Spiderman, Black Panther and Ant-man. Do I have to say more? They are all seamlessly introduced and even Black Panther who has a pretty strong story arc are perfectly built-up without taking any focus from the main story. And by the way: this Peter Parker is my favourite up to date! :D
+ The blending of each element stated above is done so good. Great action scenes and a lot of storytelling tend to be difficult to blend, resulting in pointless action sequences and a lot of "character development" that feels out of place. This clearly isn't the case here. 10/10
Now my biggest (and only BTW) complaint about the movie is - ironically - about the story: it could have been even stronger. You do have a big conflict between good and good, but I think it's to much to call it a "civil war". So there were multiple things that split the Avengers up which I feel could have been built up even more, and possibly intertwined to make a greater impact, making the split more final than it were now.
So all in all: very well-made, very enjoyable with great action and story. Highly recommended! :)

This is a vast, sprawling, and lengthy film directed by David Fincher, which gets nowhere in the end, and was probably a pointless exercise. It is the story of a search for a psychotic serial killer who calls himself 'Zodiac'. The story is based upon real case files from California, and covers several decades. Characters come and go, and it is difficult to keep focus on any of them, as they are so transient and lightly-sketched. The mysterious 'Zodiac', who was never found, drew his inspiration from a film of the 1930s, THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME, aka THE HOUNDS OF ZAROFF (1932), with Fay Wray and Joel McCrea. In that film, a man hunts humans as if they are animals, for sport. I have seen the earlier 1930s film, and it is rather mediocre, in addition to being distasteful, hence not worth reviewing, no matter how much one may like Fay Wray. There was a time when it was thought shocking enough to make films about killers. But those days are long gone. So jaded are the tastes of contemporary audiences that only serial killers will do, as one murder is no longer shocking at all. This is, of course, a sign of decadence, when murder no longer shocks, and only a series of ingenious murders by a brilliant clever psychopath any longer has the power to titillate (note that I say titillate rather than shock). I really don't believe movies like this should be made, as I have said before, and I shall say again.

In light of the fun and fame of The Avengers the show about The Agents of SHIELD looks pretty lame and average strictly aimed at kids.
It could improve but I doubt it will. And some things have better to be hidden and stay behind closed doors.
With so many shows and even better alternatives out where I don't give The Agents many chances to become a series I will follow for very long. I am sorry, would have loved a little action fun in front of the TV. But now I just wonder and almost don't give a dame.
Not marvelous or memorable in any way.
With great powers comes little or no results.

The film is about children, but it is more like a placebo for adults to find a simple explanation for complex and profound social problems.There are some touching and lovely places, but they are more like formulas in sets.And if we really show the children, the crucial question of why the Nazis came into being, and the connection to the current society, seems to be avoided.The overall feeling is another Green book.

Story, Direction, acting, screen play, music everything is excellent. Superb... Anurag Kashyap you are the master in such story telling. After GOW this is the best I saw in such genre...
Only one thing I want to point out, I don't say I did not like it.. but sometimes many abuses are are in a scene which I feel unnecessary, and sometimes it kills the effect of the scene... but such instances are less.. not in all..
Overall it is outstanding series which I like the most..

I expected some semblance of the original film's story telling, mystery and suspenseful writing. Despite a cast of excellent actors, the story was uneven, contrived and bored me throughout. I actually checked the time left at several points and was each time disappointed that so much time remained until I finally learned the outcome. Knives Out was truly a wonderful film. This was not and if left on its own with no tie to its parent would not have a following.
Edward Norton was excellent with what he had. Leslie Odom Jr ditto. Jessica Hahn perhaps with the script had to overact. Janelle Monae excellent too. Daniel Craig did well given the shortcomings of the story. Apologies to fans-I wanted to like this.

It's good in many ways, but the story fails it. The ending is disappointing and the whole movie could be shorter. Or you know, add some more to it. For the ending I'd take more inspiration from the book, and it would make the ending 10 times better.

The whole idea of showing how much people really are obsessed with technology might have actually worked. But I have already seen all 4 Hunger Games films, and, to be honest, I don't see the real difference between this and that saga. The execution was plain, shallow and ultimately unoriginal. Cinematically well done, but every other aspect was disappointing, considering that it's actually a Steven Spielberg movie. However, younger children seem to like this.

Movie started out great. Gets you interested right away in what's going on. As the movie progresses it just gets sloppy. Predictable scene after predictable scene.. you already know what's going to happen. Some plot holes as well that never get resolved lol. As far as a Netflix made film it's very good compared to others they've made. If this movie came out in theaters though it'd be a solid 4 or 5/10 for me lol. Just kind of boring at some parts. But when comparing it to other Netflix films this is actually one of their best. I definitely say it's worth a watch at least 1 time. Anything more than that and idk lol. For a Netflix Film 7/10, compared to regular movies 4.5/10

I haven't read the books, so I'm unprejudiced by the source material. This isn't the worst tv, but the tropes are well-used and pretty predictable but I've also only seen series one, so can't speak to further character and plot development. It probably borrows the best bits of Twilight's gothic fantasy of advanced communities of 'monsters' co-habitating with the human world, but de-tweens it, with a dash of Outlander's more adult characters and themes. Like both other series, it leans heavily into the consequences of inter-relationships between groups historically separated by time, bloodline, culture and history. Of course, the 21st century thus far lands these themes firmly at the centre of the zeitgeist. Series leads Teresa Palmer and Matthew Goode have believable chemistry and while some of the action sequences are definitely tv-grade, the locations and sets general uphold some pretty good production values. This didn't dazzle me but it's an ok solid watch.

The most most seminal work to be put on screen in a while. This shows why Steven Chow is the most popular director in Hong Kong. The mixture of comedy and Kung fu to extremely original and the acting is fine, the story great, the fights are impressive and original. It's silly, and funny, and bloody. A Quintine Tarratino, Matrix, Road Runner mixture that works. The most entertaining film I've seen in years. It should have done better at the box office, but it'll live forever on video. It's a gang war, comedy, kung fu, underdog, love story. But it works, and you'll be entertained. The physical comedy was the best I've seen recently. There are subtitles, but the film works fine in Chinese.

I really like this show, and I'm not a fan of too many NY City movies or shows. I think NY is generally overrated and not nearly as interesting as New Yorkers seem to believe it is. But this show depicts it perfectly and is interesting, fun and has one of my favorites in it, Steve Martin!
I like Martin Short, but a little bit of Short goes a vey long way. They seemed to utilize his skills perfectly in the first season, but he is a bit much in season 2. I'm on episode 9, and in episode 8, he was wearing my nerves! I hope they reign him in. It is nice to see that Martin Short and Gomez are all Exec. Producers however.
Overall the show is fun and has a wonderful feel to it, is timed perfectly, edited vey well and Hulu did well.
