I loved Season 1, Season 2 was okay, and then the show fell off a cliff. Season 3 is terrible. This show is not about the Witcher and doesn't have monsters any more. I couldn't even finish Season 3. It got so boring in dialogue and action that I just skipped through the last two episodes to watch the final Geralt scenes. As far as I'm concerned, this series has ended with a flimsy wet slap rather than a bang. Even episodes with lots of action are poorly shot, move too quickly, have terrible CGI, or are filled with non-sensical character decisions. I wish Netflix would have fired the writers and kept Cavill. Such a shame. Maybe they'll reboot it in 10-20 years and do it right. That's all I can hope for at this point. | 3 |
Very xenophobic film. Full of stereotypes and hate about Russia. Just disgusting to watch. Made by Cold war mongers. I was shocked as I saw the famous actors and actresses who participate on this. Just can't believe that sombody normal may like it. | 1 |
This movie was everything that Iron Man 1 was not. Yes, it was terrible, predictable and irritating. I was so mad how they essentially didn't even show any super hero stuff for 90% of the movie. The children in the theater kept asking their mother's: "Mommy, where is Iron Man? I thought this was Iron Man mommy?". The mothers had to calm their children. It was so sad. What was even more irritating was how conceited Tony Stark was. I was kind of amused by how the senator kept harassing him. For 55% of the movie - Tony Stark was pompous and an ass. He was not even remotely amusing. Then of course there is the villain who was played by an obviously uninspired Mickey Roark hoping to cash in on the success of his hit The Wrestler. He basically had a horrible Russian accent and had LIGHT SABER BULL WHIPS as a weapon. This movie was terrible. I want to sue the makers of this movie for the two hours I wasted by watching it. How am I able to get this time back? It was painful to watch this. | 1 |
Loved the acting of tom and sophia but I as the ending was made after the release of the first episode, so the success ruined the ending! They created a lot of hype just to make us wait for the second season! | 6 |
Everything is like-able scenes, music, effects and visuals so , but a character like Dr.Smith is ruining the show and the story line , i tried to like it and let go but , when ever Dr.Smith does something i just hate the show its unlike-able character. | 5 |
I was a bit skeptical till the end of 1st episode but damn did they do a full 180 on the surprise. I am one of the guy who thought after endgame marvel wont have much to offer but boy was I wrong. KEVIN FEIGE just made sure that marvel is going anywhere anytime soon. Looking forward to all the future episodes! | 9 |
Don't listen to anyone who talks this series down. Watch it for yourself and you'll see how great it is. Great writing, action, drama, mystery, laughs (not forced kind), adventure, thriller, robots. People talk about plot holes -- use your imagination people. If they filled in all the holes it would be predictable and too slow. its would be like asking why the magic stops at midnight in Cinderella. As soon as you ask such a question you nullify the entire universe in which the author created. Just let yourself get into the story and stop thinking so much. I never understood how people who analyze every word and action have time to enjoy the film -- too busy analyzing it. Not everyone may like this series but whatever you do don't let someone else make your decision for you. Like in Stranger Things series it took me half the first season to get into it and then I loved it. If I'd given up to soon I'd have missed out on a Jem. Lost is Space has made me laugh out loud while several other episodes I have actually found myself in tears. That is good writing and acting. I'm not easily moved, but I really got into the characters and Dr Smith though not my favorite is done so well in this series. Usually I have a fave character but in this one I love them all. Judy, Penny, Will, Don, John and Maureen and of course the robot and Dr. Smith. | 9 |
Overrated; this is not G. del Toro's best movie (his best is either The Devil's Backbone or Pan's Laberynth). It's a so-so movie. But I suppose it won the Oscar because of the current zeitgeist. The Academy should really make awards based on quality and not politics, but who am I to judge? | 5 |
Really Seriously folks, this show started out just ok. I can forgive the terribly bad acting by Selena Gomez and that for a show with 2 all time great comedy actors there is not even a scene that can make anyone laugh.
Seriously, why have the last 2 episodes had no sound just subtitles because the main person is deaf. That is a total insult and slam in the face to both deaf people and the ones that can hear.
The show does have some promise though.
There are some cons: 1. Yeah slap in the face to disabled people I mean really slap a whole 2 episodes with no sound just subtitles. It is a total FU to Deaf People.
2. Really bad acting (I mean really bad acting. You can watch youtube videos with better acting by a toddler), and yeah for a comedy it is not funny.
Pros: 1 The story aside from the very bad way it is being told is actually interesting.
2. It has Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. They are actually great actors I just wish they would step up the game. They totally stink in this. | 5 |
Occasionally very clever script and delivery can invoke insight and or laughter but the overall repetitive schtick wears thin with only a passing pretense at character development.
In the second season I started noticing frequent "Subway" (as in the sandwich shop) placements but that's nothing compared to season 3 episode 13 (Digital Exploration of Interior Design) which is an entire episode unironically dedicated to pushing the business, the product, and its slogans.
This is the last episode I watched. It seems to be going downhill of late and I don't know if I'll ever feel the need for another episode. | 2 |
I am 36 years old and for the first time in my whole life I was thinking of leaving the theater after two hours of this completely empty visual spectacle...
My wife wanted to finish it, so we did. And we both regret it.
Visually? Beautiful. But thirty minutes of that is enough. Watch 30 minutes, walk away, you'll love it.
Honestly it is very easy to cut the runtime in half. The amount of loose ends, meaningless arches and the absolutely unempathetic characters (new and old) turned a bad movie into a torture for the last 60 minutes.
It is that bad.
Worst movie I remember watching in theaters was Dreamcatcher, this one took its place. | 2 |
This is by far the most over rated film of all time it dose not deserve a place on the top 10 list in my opinion not even the top 100 | 5 |
JA acting is barely passable. Nothing is funny. Dialogues are not original. Nobody travels in a tight short dress. Too much makeup, and the wrong shade, on JA face. I'd rather watch My husband don't fit than this movie (I didn't finish). 3 stars for the beautiful scenery. | 3 |
This film is a disgrace to it's predecessor- Fact. The word redundant scenes takes on new meaning. If you were teaching a class in redundant scenes (i.e. scenes that tell you nothing, contribute nothing to the story or the plot, but just help to get the film to its status of two hours of a waste of people's time).
How many scenes have no direction and could be dropped in anyplace, or to any film. What about the silly dialog? The emergence of characters based solely on their personalities, Jackson for example. You have quality actors in this film looking like very bad actors. The roles given to them and the motives of the characters are paper thin. The only person that looked mean and meant it was Rouke. How many times have we seen the Sam Jackson character. I swore he looked like Shaft returned.
Anyone giving this film a rating higher than 4 has no idea about quality. It sounds bold but it is how serious I feel about this zero (if i could) rating. Last film I saw was Titans, and that was at least marginally engaging with a obvious plot, but it followed a plot - at least. Was it asking too much to have a believable story from start to end?
Another film which pulls steals peoples money, and the Hollywood industry is so poor these days that people are forced to watch nonsense like this and then say it was "fun". | 1 |
It starts off quite nicely, but does fail to engage as it continues on. Still the cast makes it somewhat worthwhile. But having seen Knives Out quite closely to this, this ... I'll say lacks tension and other things that seem so naturally in Knives out. Then again you have Adam Sandler here in his usual comedy schtick, so what should one expect other than that? Adam is able to act properly (uncut gems is supposed to be another example of that), but this is what he is know for and if that is what you came for, my opinion won't matter.
Jokes are hits and misses too, most quite low level. Which can be refreshing too, not trying to knock them. But overall this is just another one of those, with an amazing cast that elevates this to a degree it would never have reached without its support (no pun intended) | 4 |
I love this movie! I always lend it to friends if they haven't seen it. I first saw it in 1989 shorty after the Cannes Film Festival. James Spader was soooo sexy. I would have made a video for him in a hearbeat! This is one of the best indie movies ever. | 10 |
First of I am a big fan of Nolan's past films. Momento, The Prestige, Batmen series. Those movies are just simply awesome.
I think his weakness in directing (I won't say it's a flaw, though) was started to show since Inception, and even more obvious in Interstellar: He is not very good at manipulating the human feeling, or, he just simply more enjoys elaborating the stories. He doesn't handle very well about the connections and bonds between men and women, parent and children, friends. However, his plots are usually so big and complex and he loves playing with alternated cut scene (which I love). People were too busy figuring out the story but ignoring the fact that human connection is very weak.
This movies almost give me the same feeling as Inception: A complex, beautiful, kick-ass story with lots of open questions for the audience to think. His signature scene-alternation is still cool and smooth. Hans Zimmer's music is as good as usual. But other than that, it actually quite empty. Too be honest, I almost feel like attending a research seminar. The content was very interesting, the presenter told a very cool story, but did I feel happy, sad, angry for the contents in the seminar? No. Did I love the seminar? No. It's enjoyable, but I won't go the same seminar second time.
My emotion does not go up and down as the movie goes and I don't think the slow-moving story helps either. I think fall to connect to the audience is the biggest issue in this movie. Nevertheless, it still well worth my 7 bucks just because of the super cool sci-fi storyline. | 7 |
After a couple of episodes I just had to force myself to watch it. Really. I like the picture - the planet, the robot, good CGI, etc... But people act like an idiots. Several times I was just thinking about some unexpected things like... killer-butterfly which could have killed Dr. Smith on her way back from robot cave... Or something like that. But no... The kindergarten continues. But in the middle of ep5, when Dr. Smith told Don West that she actually saved him and he believed her... Well, ladies and gentlemen, I am really happy that those idiots probably will not continue our civilization on another planet =) And I suspect that people who give 8-10 stars for this show are either paid good for that or just have same IQ level like all the characters (except robot, maybe) - close to zero =) | 1 |
The time jumps butchered the whole season. I expect season 2 to be much better | 8 |
After A Wednesday, Neeraj Pandey is back with an intelligent script on a true life incident against corruption. It is a story of con men who looted black money of politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen by posing either as CBI or income tax officials. Power of this flick lies in tight script with a last minute twist. This is a perfect answer to Ocean franchise, we can expect sequel as well. After a long time, Akki shows his acting talent in totally new avtaar. Anupam & Jimmy plays his role very well. Manoj is full of power & very well lifted his role. There is no need of female character in script. Loose Point: songs, as there is no need to waste 10-12 precious minutes. Best Dialogue: Asli Power dil me hoti h. Last Words: It is an intelligent movie with best performances. You would not regret watching. | 8 |
It is conceptually bad, everything is bad, the good guys are just as fantastic as regular super heroes but bad, everything that happens is bad, it is a tragedy. Have you read the comic? Well guess what it is REALLY bad. Bad things are just suposedly pleasant as if they were good things... It is like bad art. It just sucks. Watch it and hate yourself or dont. | 2 |
"Guardians of the Galaxy", "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame" are films that are always cited when it comes to the best films in Marvel, and along with those there is always "Captain America: The Winter Soldier", But does he deserve this position? Many say this is an excellent film and I strongly disagree, I think it's just a good, almost great film. Maybe he's excellent by MCU standards. The choreography, script, direction and photography are things that everyone mentions when praising the film and they are 100% correct, these things are wonderful. However, compared to other films outside the superhero subgenre these qualities are only good. Something that takes the film down is the third act, as the first two explore a much more intimate investigation without a lot of giant stuff and by the end it becomes a generic superhero movie. But, overall, it's a very good and fun movie with many qualities. | 7 |
I normally watch 3 or 4 episodes prior to deciding whether a series is a 'go' or a 'no go'. This show made it a lot easier for me, I lost appetite from the onset. I really struggled to watch the pilot and make heads or tails out of it. The plot is not even theoretical, it appears s to be from another space, galaxy or dimension. You cannot start a story with a completely unrealistic scenario and expect to fix it somewhere downstream. | 1 |
Following the trend to give movies 10 on 10 if one enjoyed it, this film gets a simple 1 on10.
For a proper war film, watch Gallipoli, easily more authentic than this expensive propaganda. | 5 |
This is a political statement I have tried to leave an honest 3 star reveiw on here 3 times but IMDB for some reason don't allow it??? Someone at IMDB that checks these before publishing does not like my view. So 1 star. Boring. | 1 |
That mix of cinema geniuses is wonderful. I like it. | 10 |
First time I saw this movie, I was impressed by the special effects, but hardly understood the plot, thinking it was because I had missed the first half hour. So when I got the chance to see it a second time, I payed close attention, hoping to finally understand it. I was VERY disappointed though: after 20 minutes I had seen about 4 or 5 different storylines, which were'nt even connected to the storylines, I had seen the last time (!). So, I just switched the channel to be able to see something interesting instead: much better! | 1 |
Love it but how hard is it to put something like '3 years ago' and 'present time' on the screen!!!!???? D*mnit | 9 |
A good Saturday evening action movie. It would rank higher with a fancier location photography and a bit more twist. But action scenes are very well done! | 7 |
In 2008 this movie was fantastic. Now, 14 years later it can't help but feel dated. I love the script, sets, audio, and (most of the) acting. But the editing and slow zoom camera shots are overdone. Do we have to zoom into everyone?
Heath Ledger is an honorable mention. His performance is captivating. Almost hard to pay attention if he wasn't on screen though.
I could never get past the casting of Maggie Gyllenhaal. Her performance gives the same energy as a teenager in her high-school drama club. I personally took off one star vecause they forced me to sit through her performance. Then, I gave one back because the script itself is a 10/10 lol. | 4 |
I've left this for awhile before doing a review because I am very much undecided about how I feel about the series. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either.
I am a big Tim Burton fan, huge fan. And of course I love the Addams family. When the series was first announced I was a bit blah about it, even though I knew it was Burton. I just think somethings are better left alone. Plus the whole 'teen' Wednesday, kind of loses the point.
Anyway, I watched it, I enjoyed it. Was I blown away by it - No. Will I watch the next season - Yes of course.
I think Jenna Ortega did a great job as Wednesday Addams, however as for the rest of the Addams family - they all fell extremely flat. I think Catherine Zeta Jones was terrible. So unsuited.
Regardless, I am keen to see how the next season develops and what they do with the Wednesday character. | 6 |
Sandler and Aniston are great comedians; and paired them in an Agatha Christie style story seemed a perfect bet. Well sadly it is not. The mystery like Christie's books keeps twisting but the story is never funny. Sandler gets few sarcastic one liners; Danny Boom the French superstar is able to get a lot of an underwritten small character that really could be played by less important star. Aniston is completely underused which is a pity because she is genuinely funny and sympathetic even when her's and Sandler character are really pathetic. There is some suspense when they become suspects but the resolution is too simplistic and the final car chase not very exciting. In brief if you have nothing else to do and already a NETFLIX customer see it. | 4 |
I found it boring and uninteresting, only 30 minutes into the movie I lost complete interest. This kind of comedy is childish and forced... I couldn't connect with any of the characters and really couldn't stomach the infantile tone of the comedy of this kind. Maybe is just not my type, watch it for yourself, maybe I'm in the minority | 2 |
Unfortunately, this season was a show about nothing. That's the real reason there isn't a second season lined up right away.
The rest of the text that I'm about to write is because there is a requirement of so many characters that have to be written. So many required characters that I feel like I'm one of the writers for the show, and will detail some insignificant plot twist over the course of five episodes. It's too bad George RR Martin wasn't able to keep pace with the script writers. Here's to hoping for a better second season in 2 years. Alas, this feels like a college paper where you BS 75% in order to meet the professor's requirements, even though you could have summed it up in three sentences. | 5 |
I dont think ive ever seen a series in which I became so attached to the characters. I dont even know how they did it, maybe they just had such good chemistry in real life it came across on screen, and didn't take itself too seriously. I truly miss this show. | 9 |
I am finishing up first part of Season 4 right now, I am on rye edge of my seat. Consistently use nostalgia, interesting characters, & supernatural stories, & 80's issues to build an amazing story with a great ensemble cast (most started as pre-teens). The Duffers deserve so much credit, through 80's pop culture nostalgia, they have built the biggest pop culture show that hasn't let us down yet...unlike other massive shows (Sopranos & Game of Thrones. | 9 |
To start, let me say that I have not read the books, nor have I played the video games. Therefore I come into this without preconceived notions that are to be disappointed, nor with fanboy excitement that will have me posting a 10 out of 10 just because.
First of all, this is not GoT, nor is it trying to be. It is its own world, its own magic, its own monsters. That said, it could have learned something from GoTs success.
First, let's go over the good aspects of The Witcher. One can tell that Netflix has committed to the series. The cinematography is very well done, the direction is well above average. The locales are beautiful and draw the viewer into the world. The acting is, for the most part, very good. Henry Cavill, who I've been a fan of since The Tudors, does a fine job as Geralt, as does Freya Allan as Ciri. Some of the supporting cast are excellent in their roles, MyAnna Buring in particular. The battle scenes were glorious. Cavill's swordsmanship was on full display and he was perfect as a trained killer.
The bad. For me, the writing lacked. As I stated earlier, Cavill did good work as Geralt, but that character is very two dimensional. Hopefully, in season 2, he can flesh out Geralt a bit more. Anya Chalotra, as Yennefer, just did not strike the right fit for me. The CGI here was a bit lacking, with the exception of the dragon. The dragon was embarrassingly bad. Here is my comparison with GoT. GoT showed us what good CGI dragons can look like. This dragon was.... not. Lastly, Jaskier as played by Joey Batey. I've not read the books, but I keep hearing how dark this series is supposed to be, so it really pulls me from my immersion when this character is set up as the comic relief. I do not blame Batey, he acts fine enough, but rather the writers. The humour falls flat as is very corny. I would have preferred they had either skipped it completely, or at least made it more subtle and not have the character as the comic sidekick.
All in all, I watched the 8 episodes over the course of the weekend. I enjoyed it for what it was, but it had the potential to be so much more. Those that have given it either a 1 or a 10 are being intellectually dishonest. It is definitely in the middle. Watchable, but not spectacular. | 6 |
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is an absolute masterpiece of a superhero movie. Directed by the Russo brothers and starring Chris Evans, this film not only delivers on incredible action and suspenseful sequences, but it also examines deeper themes about trust, loyalty, and the true cost of freedom.
The movie follows our favorite super-soldier Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, as he works alongside fellow Avenger Black Widow and new ally Sam Wilson, aka the Falcon. Together, they uncover a conspiracy within SHIELD, leading to a heart-pumping conflict against the titular villain, the Winter Soldier.
What truly sets The Winter Soldier apart from other superhero movies is its impressive storytelling. The plot is tightly woven and keeps the audience on the edge of their seat throughout the entire film. There are plenty of twists and turns that not only make the story engaging, but also raise important questions about the role of government and the sacrifices made in the name of security.
The film's action sequences are breathtaking and incredibly well-choreographed. Captain America's fight scenes are both thrilling and emotional, and the fight between him and the Winter Soldier is one of the best superhero battles ever captured on screen.
Chris Evans gives his best performance as Captain America, bringing depth and emotional weight to his character. Scarlett Johansson is fantastic as Black Widow, showing off her exceptional range as a character. Sebastian Stan also delivers a chilling performance as the mysterious and dangerous Winter Soldier.
Overall, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a true masterpiece in the world of superhero movies. From its superb storytelling to its fantastic action set pieces and standout performances from its talented cast, the film is the epitome of cinematic excellence. It is a movie that not only satisfies its comic book roots but is also thought-provoking and emotionally resonant, leaving a lasting impact on audiences long after the credits roll. | 9 |
The opening visuals are sensational and the opening scene equally impressive. Sadly, though, the quality of the visuals are inconsistent throughout the movie. Some visuals are downright awesome, while others are very clearly blue screen.
In the tradition of 'Wolf Totem' and 'Loup', this is a story about a young man befriending a wolf. Only, this story was not as captivating or believable as the mentioned films. A lot of the film was also lost in translation, as this is a fictional language, and one can only make up your own mind what the conversations are about. If this film was aimed at dog lovers (or wolf for that matter), it might not appeal to that demographic because of this. I thoroughly enjoyed the bonding between man and wolf, which paved the way for humans to domesticate animals. In general this was a very enjoyable adventure drama. | 6 |
So good, the emotions, the reality and how it came together as a live action BARBIE film was perfect and outstanding which is good for adults as well as children. I am so impressed how well this was pulled off and the details from the outfits to the design of the sets was outstanding. There was laughing and crying in this film and which relates to everyday life and having all the different barbies was brilliant! My favourite has to be the weird BARBIE because I definitely relate to her more! I recommend watching this and giving it a go because you may think oh it's just a kids film but once you've watched it, it's not what you expect and I'm itchy to watch it again! | 10 |
This is the story of a man who is supposedly young at the beginning of the film to when he's an old man. Robert de Nero, 75 plays him at all ages. He never looks younger than around 45 this is very distracting, to the point where is broke the vibe of the film. He walks like an old man and the scene at the butchers is laughable!
The editing is far from flawless and the story delivery is very confusing at times.
The film is long, like super long, not particularly original and overall probably the worst Scorsese film I've seen. | 3 |
It was a surprise hit of kollywood. There was no popular face associated to the film and hence, no big expectations, but the word of mouth spread quickly and It ran in some theaters over Chennai for over a month. Distributors were ready to release it in Telugu as well. Quickly, the name spread all over facebook and possibly every single social media platform plus youtube and it gained nationwide acclaim. Currently, no. 7 in top rated Indian movies on IMDb. This is because a lot of Indians on IMDb are amateurs whose only job is to exaggerate everything related to Indian cinema. Ratsasan is an example of those films which are good, but overpraised.
Story is same as any other Psychological thriller. Feels a little inspired, but the treatment is good. There is an overuse of BGM. There is a different BGM used for almost every single situation ,some of them are really good though.
Like every other tamil film, the hero has a love interest, and he won her after beating some goons. Sounds familiar? The action scenes were lousy(as always). The cops may spent months and even years to find a clue about the killer, but our main villian can find anyone's address, threaten his/her family notice being noticed by anyone. Talking about logic? Moreover, it was edge of a seat kind of thriller( watch Theeran Adhigaram Ondru to know what it means). The length is surely a problem.
Besides these obvious flaws, I can say Ghibran did a brilliant job as composer ,his sountrack enhances the feel of the film, without it, it would be boring.
I can say the film didn't dissapoint me, it's reviewers did. | 7 |
I love sci-fi and I thought this had a great premise. I enjoyed watching the episodes but didn't feel compelled to binge watch the season in one sitting. The writing and acting wasn't great in some parts, but I think it would be hard to deliver some of the poorly scripted lines. As usual the season was very "Hollywood" in that situations where characters could've (and should've) died, were saved at the last minute by some miracle. And there were a lot of these situations jam packed into each epsiode which made it fast paced but unfortunately predictable.
I did like the Robinsons. I thought it was more realistic to have a dysfunctional family. It was nice to see Mrs Robinson as a strong matriarchal figure that was leading as a woman and not written as a woman pretending to be a man. I thought the dynamic between her and Mr Robinson balanced out. Again refreshing to see strength in a male character portrayed in ways other than hypermasculinity. The kids were great.
I think this series has a lot of potential so I'm hopeful season 2 will answer some questions and hopefully the writing will get better. | 7 |
Grt performance by actors gripping screenplay. and for anthology direction anurqg kashyap nailed it | 10 |
The lighthouse is technically a very good film and I must commend it on exceptional sound and lighting effects but I personally struggled to get invested in the storyline. | 4 |
I dont recommend this movie. It's so boring. I like A quite place more than this. | 4 |
The show has a slow start. It takes you around, and introduces you to these individuals in the middle of their lives. And then chaos and destruction strikes and we get to see everyone at their best, and worst moments. It's epic. I watched the entire season in 3 days. It's also fun, because as a fan in Gerard you can hear his influence in both the story telling and obviously, the music. Its beautiful, dark, sad, happy, and compelling. My favorite from the first few moments was Klaus. I immediately liked him, and my suspicions on why he does the things he does, was proven right shortly after I assumed the reason.
I will be holding my breath and crossing my fingers for a Season 2!!! | 9 |
Offensive, Vile, Paranoid, Violent, Perverse, Dehumanising, Base. For some reading these adjectives, this will be a positive review, "Gotta see this, just love lurking around in the dark!" For me this is an indictment against a growing trend in art to elevate the vile and stigmatize hope or goodness. This message is all the more dangerous when marked by good performances, a powerful production, and digested by an immature audience (and I don't just mean chronologically). Good and evil have been apart of the world's framework since the beginning, but, folks, when our creative communities slander and misrepresent good as evil and frame life as inevitable moral failure, they precondition our culture to see a future without hope or choice. I won't support this project and rank it as a 3 (vile) out of 10. {Super Hero Noir} | 3 |
This is one of those sequels that doesn't continue a story but still manages to be successful. Kung Fu Panda has a plot that is so concise and well made that you cannot continue the story. You can however create a new story within the universe and do so with wonderful development of characters you already know and create one centered around the concept of man vs machine. The cast and writing is just as good as the original but it still feels like a sequel. This franchise could have been a solo film and I think that it should have. However, after seeing the first one, the sequel is luckily an animated film worthy of attention. | 8 |
Just watch it :) Its great! I'm no fan of boring drama or overproduced shiny superhero stuff. This one had drama and a gothic, macabre and funny way of telling the story, it never once got boring for me. Loved it. | 9 |
Nothing happens during the movie... literally. When you think something is about to take an interesting turn of events it... nothing happens. Lousy . Boring . Terrible ending . Don't watch it, period. Save yourself 2+ hours. Thank me later. | 2 |
The Actors and director are all big names with excellent credentials And this genre has been successful in thenpast. In this film though, they all seem to think they are as good as they used to be. They aren't. It was a slow, drawn out, and mostly difficult to understand (unless you already know the story) movie, neither entertaining nor historically valuable. What a disappointment. If you are a mad Fan of these guys and have over 3 hours of time to kill, watch it but be prepared to be disappointed. | 3 |
WOW!!! Civil War is absolutely Brilliant, the darker more serious tone of the excellent Winter Soldier has carried over to this fantastic film.
The action scenes & fight scenes are absolutely fantastic in Civil War, especially the frantic & exciting gritty opening action packed scene with Cross Bones & his terrorist team, it's outstanding.
A big cast of great actors & characters mixed into a political nightmare that's handled perfectly with a gritty & dark tone & dangerous Atmosphere. Steve Rogers is again fantastic as the troubled Captain America who is torn between what's right & wrong & friends & enemies & loyalties are broken, Civil War is a mature super hero movie. Just like the equally excellent Winter Soldier, this Civil War is handled with a sense of real grit & harsher so these characters feel like they exist in the real complicated world.
Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther is a fantastic actor & brings heart & soul to his character, Panther steals the show alot when he's on screen. There's so many Awesome characters here such as Spiderman, Ant-Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow & more great stars of the Marvel universe but it's the interesting & intense relationship between Steve Rogers & Tony Stark that is at the heart of this serious sci-fi Thriller. Captain America vs Iron man. The winter soldier himself Bucky is has a bigger & more tragic story here, he has been mind controlled for years & now has to deal with the torment of his past actions & the complete loneliness he feels as an outsider who is good at heart & best friends with childhood pal Steve Rogers but has been a deadly Assassin for so long he mind is a mess, IT'S a really well told little story arc for the character & he becomes one of the best characters in the movie.
Chris Evans is absolutely excellent in his iconic role as Steve Rogers/Cap & he's my reason for getting into these films of the Marvel universe, Captain is such a great Troubled character to follow on his adventures as he's a loner really, a lost man from a completely different world & he's always trying to find his porpoise & his meaning in this new messed up terrorist & corruption filled world.
Although this is a big budget Superhero film it's all handled like a deep serious Thriller just like The winter soldier & that's because of the excellent directors the Russo bros they know how to work a fantasy story & mixed it into a real grittier environment.
Captain America:Civil War is One of the greatest Marvel movies of all tine | 6 |
In many ways to me at least is better than the first one to the cast, acting, pace, thrills and definitely more witty and entertaining. Robert Downey Jr. is on the top of his game here as Tony Stark he was cool, funny, brilliant and bad@ss but maybe a bit too cocky but that's his character I guess. The supporting cast was great and Scarlett Johansson though hot as always looks better than ever and she really impressed me here, Mickey Rourke made an effective villain but I could hardly understand him most of the time or bought the accent, Samuel Jackson is cool as always but the standout person here was Sam Rockwell but Gwyneth Paltrows and Don Cheadles character really didn't do much for me this time around sorry to say. I really had a fun time watching this flick from beginning to end and it really surpassed my expectations and it's definitely what a summer blockbuster should be, an escape. The final act wasn't as thrilling or effective as the final act in the first one but it was definitely exciting but it kind of left me wanting more still just like in the first one but just like what Spider Man did for me this will probably get better and better with each sequel and I can't wait! Overall it has solid performances, action, laughs, thrills and it was just brilliantly done, an improvement but there is still some flaws to be tinkered with but I still recommend it for the fun of it all. More of a 3.5 out of 5 stars. | 7 |
When you see reviews like this one left for this film "This is the best film I've ever seen before.. it's extremely good", you know that the rating is driven by a PR campaign.
This movie was really bad, one of the few movies I've stopped watching 30min into it. Now I love a good action movie, but this was all action and no story. Just all over the place with no interesting narrative. A mess. Definitely the worst in the series. | 1 |
The camera work and the acting were spot on great. The music was superb. But, the film did not offer any historical references. How did the army become pinned down? Why was the army stuck at that particular location? Where were their enemies? There was no mention of the three day pause enacted by the Wehrmacht which enabled the Allied forces to escape. Where was the Luftwaffe? A few planes were in the film but no real numbers. So many unanswered questions. This could have been another Patton but better. | 6 |
Sony's latest Spidey outing is a vibrantly colourful and fast paced comic book love letter to the amazing superhero and a fitting tribute to the late great Stan Lee. This time we focus on Miles Morales; the Spider-Man of this particular reality who due to a universe shattering machine being used by some classic Marvel villains, comes into touch with other dimensions and indeed other Spider-People including Spider-Gwen, Spider-Noir (Nicolas Cage) and Spider-Ham (my personal favourite!) I really enjoyed this one for the most part! As much of a Spidey fan as I am and as visually inventive as it is, the animation did prove to be more of a distraction for me from an emotional entrance point into the story and the characters which is a shame (The intentionally 3D aesthetic on the background while watching the 2D version does make you feel like you've walked into the wrong screening) but it is simultaneously its strong point in terms of spectacle; different animation styles mixing together is quite lovely to watch and it comes masterfully together in the exciting final showdown sequence which is worth seeing on the biggest screen possible! I don't think it's quite as memorable as Spidey's reboot in Homecoming last year but it's still a damn fun Marvel outing | 6 |
They have to start shooting in 30 minutes. None of the actors have seen the script until just before they shoot. Can the fix it all in editing? Nope.
Seriously, that's the only excuse I can see for this dreadful mess. That or maybe they shot two scripts separately with different plots and endings and just cut those together.
This is a beautifully filmed mess, lovely cinematography. That was the only area of this production that delivers any value.
We could just write this off as a pandemic production disaster. Closed set, no location expenses, and a budget blown on a cast that needed the check.
All I know is I watched the whole thing because I didn't want to give one star to a film I didn't watch all the way through. | 1 |
The trailers for this movie looked great, and the list of main actors in the movie was impressive. Every single character, though, possessed a number of annoyingly quirky oddities that had no bearing on the story's plot. After a while, it seemed as if entire characters and scenes could have been easily left out without any impact on the film. Some of these extraneous scenes seemed to have been included in the film just so they could spice up the trailers.
Those watching this movie appeared to be equally disappointed. No chatter at all once the movie ended. Just a quiet, collective sigh of relief that we could finally stand up and leave. | 4 |
I had high hopes before watching this as the rating was off the charts.
While the plot was easy to understand, I think the switching back and forth was too rapid and disorganized for me. | 3 |
This is better than the third episode (The Prisoner of Azkaban) and much better than the rest of the films. Given the overall average quality of the Harry Potter films, the Deathly Hallows Part 1 stands out like a masterpiece.
Unlike the rest of the series, it manages to convey the entire essence of the (half) book and the characters' emotions and thoughts without the infuriating inconsistencies we saw in the other episodes. The beginning was particularly strong and I find the bleak atmosphere even more nicely done than the noir tone in the Prisoner of Azbakan.
It's a shame the second part of the Deathly Hallows does not live up to expectations, mainly due (again) to some serious script errors. The last, amazingly powerful, book deserved a more faithful final film. As it is, Deathly Hallows Part 1 is by far the best in the series. | 10 |
The great thing about this movie for me was that I was entertained all the time because of how cleverly written this film is.It's no wonder why the Coen Brothers won an Oscar for best original screenplay the dark humour is truly funny and throughout the movie I was wanting to see where it was all gonna go to and the main actress in the movie (Frances McDormand) was truly one of the best lead females I've seen in a movie.This is truly one of my favourite movies of all time,so what are you doing reading this go see it! It truly is one of a kind and I am sure that the people who are going to go see will enjoy as much as I do so go see it! | 10 |
Expectable Plot. You need to look over some real logical mistakes to enjoy this one. A lot of cgi. None of the streets you are seeing is real. I don't think they produced only one scene outside of the studio. | 4 |
WARNING!
Don't watch it!
This show is the reason I registered and wrote my first review to warn everybody from this watching this show.
I usually read the reviews before I decide for a movie and I am thankful for not wasting my time on some movies and shows I would have watched otherwise.
After seeing one review with an 8 and a rating of 6,7 I thought I might be as good as I hoped for.
BUT ...
She-Hulk was a masterpiece compared to this garbage.
5 minutes of watching this show is enough to be utterly disappointed but I watched two full episodes in hope than it might get better but it just got worse and worse. | 1 |
This series is just amazing but it has some ups and downs mainly the acting of the cast is excellent the series needs to be more eloborate so that the audience can get connected with story in this series there is a lack of that connection So it's a fine series If you are a aspirant of civil service exam Then this series will motivate you And refresh you for sure And also. | 7 |
A masterpiece?
You got to be kidding me!
A comedy for kids rife with teen age sexual tendencies. | 5 |
My first attempt in watching this movie I fell asleep. The second attempt was more successful as I managed to stay awake. But what on earth did I just see. The first three HP movies were mysterious and magical. And as Harry matured he became stronger and skilled. After the third movie the Harry we see on the screen is nothing but a plot device. He is nowhere near as impressive and no match at all for any bad guy,in a believable way that is. So I haven't read the books,something tells me I do need to do that. But I should not read the books to make sense of it all. I judge solely on what I see on the screen. Why would the Dark Lord be so afraid of Harry Potter. Not once an explanation is given for it which I believe the books do (somebody told me). It really is beyond me that people can call this the best Harry Potter movie ever. Excuse me? Was there actually a plot? The scenes that were interesting were over before I could get into it. Please give this a miss. It is a waste of time. | 1 |
I found this movie to be pretty effective in how it's executed. The story is interesting with teenagers able to contact spirits with a mysterious embalmed hand. I really like the idea of holding a mysterious hand to contact spirts and then say "I let you in" so it possessed that person. It really shows how it is a bad idea to do those types of things and how they affect someone. The movie is also a subject matter of grief and obsession with the main character losing her mother and wanting to contact her. It really shows how far someone can do in order to talk to a loved one again. The movie also works as a psychological horror with the main character struggling with her grief and obsession towards her mother and that hand throughout. It also affects her mental health and cause her to do some extreme stuff later on in the movie. The ending itself is pretty good on how it ends. | 8 |
"The wire", "The person of interest" and "The Americans" are my 10s. So 24 is a 5. The stories are very interesting, and that is where the 5 points are won. But to stretch 24 episode each season, it makes me feel it is watered down. Also some of the characters are so flawed, both the writing and the performance. I finished season 1 without skipping anything, but Teri and Kim annoyed me to my limit. I was happy to see Teri was killed at the end of the season 1. That is writers' issue to make them so.... On the other hand, the performances of these two characters are so poor. Multiple scenes when they are crying their hearts out, there is not a single drop of tears! Three episodes into season 2, I started to skip any scene that has Kim in there. Her character is so unbelievably annoying and irrelevant. Skipping everything of her does not hurt the story line at all. A new addition of season 2 is Marie, whose performance is just bad especially after she is shot. OMG, who cast her? Sherry Palmer is another one. I am tolerating her because she is in the middle of the plot....... All these make me wonder - do those writers of this show know any normal women in their lives or they are just hurt so badly by some women in their lives? | 5 |
Basically a mindless action flick. Chris Helmsworth has a Thor hangover, only the cape and hammer is replaced by army fatigues and automatic weapons. Only bang bang kill fest from start to finish, the script writers laughingly try to bring a human side to the superhuman Helmsworth through a very weak sob story, but fail badly. Lucky for all cast, crew and producers that this has avoided a box office flopshow by releasing only online. As a footnote, whoever thought of the giving that awful wig to Randeep Hooda should immediately retire from this business. | 1 |
"Kung Fu Hustle" (aka "Kung Fu") is actually the type of martial arts comedy that you can watch again and again. It is very reminiscent of the numerous, and enjoyable, Jackie Chan movies in spirit. And that is solely because it is Stephen Chow that is at the helm, because he is every bit as good and funny as Jackie Chan, just haven't achieved half the fame outside Asia unfortunately.
The story told in "Kung Fu Hustle" is good, it is funny and it is fully and wholeheartedly entertaining. There are so many aspects to the movie that it is hard for anyone not to find something to like here, ranging from characters, places, events and such.
"Kung Fu Hustle" is crammed with a great cast, whom all performed remarkably well with their each individual role and character. The movie is definitely superbly carried by the director and star himself, Stephen Chow.
The characters in the movie are half the movie, because they are all so very interesting and colorful. Almost every character comes with a good backstory that lets you delve deeper in to the character. And the character progression throughout the movie is definitely good as well.
There is a heap of action in the entire movie, and the choreography is really good. Everything is fast paced and well executed on the screen, making it all look phenomenally well on the screen.
If you haven't already seen "Kung Fu Hustle", you should jump at the chance when you are given, because this is definitely a remarkable movie. Lots of action and fun, something for everyone. | 7 |
I too wanted to see this movie and was hoping it would be almost as good as the first. The visuals are good but without a story line to keep me interested, it really fails. I didn't like it and was so bored. The first avatar was a lot better. I thought they introduced the characters so much better. I thought Avatar the way of water came on too fast as they invaded Pandora. I thought they could have elaborated quite a bit further at the beginning on how earth was dying, right up to the time they entered Pandora. It was like they rushed the movie just so they could hurried up to do nothing much. I like it when they lead up to a war (how how's and why's) not just a bunch of fighting. Once you see a bunch of fighting it all looks a like. Not saying a good fighting scene isn't needed. Just don't make it feel like it is lasting for eternity. The special effects are good but not that good :) When are they going to learn. The visuals make a great movie fantastic. All great movies have a great story lines. So what happen to this one. It's not like there wasn't enough time or money thrown towards this movie. Too bad. Better luck next time. | 3 |
I totally agree w/ those complaining about the shoes sec scenes and implicit nudity. One- just cause it's "consensual" and barely of age doesn't mean it's responsible to yes show barely of age (yes the actors may be older but the characters are still supposed to be thought of as teens) having bare all sex- why for once can't we have a relationship that isn't just sex. Believe it or not not every couple has sex in early stages etc...And honestly- there's no responsible parents or any sort of maturity. Instead we just got a couple of horny teenagers who can't decide if they want to be together or not. Am so tired of sex crazed passing off as "adults." It's like seriously? Try talking about actual issues and grownups/kids not obsessed w/ sex for once- just saying... | 2 |
I thought it was basically daft. I could see there was imagination behind it, but I just wasnt engaged with any of it - characters, storyline - nada. I cant think of any other film I have picked and paid specifically to watch that has been allowed to meander on over a couple of sittings, over a couple of days. And that's because it didnt interest me. Sorry. Im suppised to wax lyrical for another 300 characters, but I've nothing more to say.

Why y'all give it more than 3 stars? Are y'all kids or just dumb? The movies sucks i every way. I stopped watching at episode 4, but i coulda stopped at 2. Y'all crazyyyyyy for giving this more than 3 stars. | 1 |
If life escapes you... Family comes to mind & what better way to have it remind you of what this Robinson family has done through its creators! Kudos to it backers & the staring castes who displayed what family really means--! | 9 |
If you're one of the five people who has managed to abstain from watching James Cameron's 2009 megahit Avatar, than I have one thing to say to you: stay home, watch Pocahontas, The Last Samurai, or Keith Olbermann and save yourself 10 dollars.
The shopworn story in Avatar revolves around Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a paralyzed marine who is sent to a military/mining outpost on the faraway planet Pandora. Pandora is inhabited by 10-foot tall primitive blue aliens affectionately named Na'vi, who basically look like the most likable and cute creatures imaginable. Jake is enlisted by a team of scientists to take control of a human-Na'vi hybrid body through some futuristic mind-link technology and is soon a 10-foot tall blue version of himself. Without giving too much away, Jake finds himself captured by the native aliens and soon has to choose where his loyalties lie. Don't be fooled by the exotic premise, the movie digresses quickly into a cliché-ridden mess with an ending that can be seen from a mile away.
The two antagonists in Avatar are laughably one-dimensional white males (what else?). One is the head of the military complex, Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang). The Colonel is everything that Hollywood thinks of the military: aggressive, chauvinistic, callous, and eager for destruction and death. He has some of the most ridiculous dialogue: lines to the effect of "Let's hurry up and destroy this peaceful native culture so I can get back in time for dinner" and "shock and awe". On top of this he sports a ridiculous set of scars on his face that is only surpassed in dumbness by his over the top southern accent.
The second antagonist plays less of a role in the movie, but is equally comical, bland, and stereotypical as the Colonel. Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi) is the corporate executive of the mining operation on Pandora that is seeking the mineral unobtanium which, as Selfridge explains, "sells for twenty million a kilo." And wouldn't you know it, the deposit of unobtanium is situated right under the village of the Na'vi. Selfridge thankfully makes only a few appearances in the movie, but Cameron makes sure to squeeze the max amount of populist anger from the audience out of each appearance. By his second appearance, I was fully expecting him to give lavish bonuses to AIG bankers or at least, start laying-off workers.
This film is as smug, simplistic, and manipulative as it gets in Hollywood. Especially in the movie business, you sometimes have to look past the absurd pseudo-philosophical politics and just enjoy the movie for what it is. And had this movie had the same politics, but instead been, say, The Godfather, I would've done just that. Unfortunately, Cameron's Avatar mixes a ridiculous message with even more ridiculous dialogue. The story is predictable down to me being able to foresee exact lines and the forest setting is a little too neon and fantastical to be taken seriously. Don't get me wrong, this movie isn't unwatchable. On the contrary, the visuals (especially in IMAX 3D) are everything they're cracked up to be. But visuals don't make a movie, they're meant to compliment it. As soon as Cameron sacrificed story and script for 3D effects, he ceased to be making a movie. The ultimate irony is that I would've sacrificed all the expensive stunning imagery and motion-capture technology in the world for a little bit of depth and originality. | 3 |
This is one of the few movies where the sequel is better than the original. Cinematography is better than the original, and story line tighter. The story is about change of guard from the old Corlione (Vito) to the new God father (Michael), and I thought acting by both Marlon Brando and Al Pachino was notch above the original. The unlikely son who went to college and had no interest in the family business now takes over the family as the new Don. Al Pachino shows his maturity as an actor by playing the role of the new Don masterfully, and his transition from his first role to that of the new God father is portrayed naturally.
This is one movie I believe will last till the end days of cinema. A classic in its own right. | 10 |
A superhero soap opera with really bad music, unlovable characters and strained plots. The attempt to give it an "other worldly" feel fails miserably. | 1 |
I thought Cameron was better than fake reviews!! I think I was the only one still awake in my theatr when the movie ended. Entire acts are wasted on fruitless world building. Neytiri exists purely as a plot device not Jakes wife and Jake is too boring to carry the story. This is not avatar 2 its Jake Sullys Kids get into antics. Physics decide when they want to exist or not. Too many questions and no answers. The 3D version looked so bad it was like watching videogame cutscenes. I expected at least an improvement in the CG department after 13 years but there was zero. Cameron has given up, and jumped the shark. | 2 |
I saw this movie with great anticipation that there would be true depiction of whats going on in Iraq. But apart of few scenes where they got some chills out of me there was really nothing in the movie to be praise worthy.
It was predictable, with no vision at all and most importantly there was no motive at all in this movie. The bomb disposal scenes were more like Tarzan in the jungle.
Similar to the last year where SDM won 8 Oscars just for nothing for an another predictable movie this movie got 6 Oscars i dnt know for what.... Its a shame really.... | 4 |
You'd expect a Game of Thrones like experience but this is nothing like it. Game of thrones had so many great characters and plots and it never got Boring. House of the Dragon just revolves around one house. Which personally I would have nothing against, but it just gets soooo boring.
There are so many incoherences. For example a guy who murders various advisors in front of the king and queen who told him not to do it gets to keep being a kings guard. Or how everyone seems to age except Daemon.
Also this series is even more gross than Game of Thrones when talking about violence. It just seems unnecessary and it's very disgusting.
There is also so much unnecessary nudity and sex (which GoT also had but at least it was worth watching) .
There are so many scenes which don't make any sence it's just enraging.
Although this show fails to impress, the actors really did a great job. Emma D'arcy who plays older Rhaenyra really gives an excellent performance. Olivia Cooke and Paddy Considine also give really convincing performances. I also liked Matt Smith who plays Daemos because I have seen hin in different roles and he does a whole other thing.
The makeup and costume department really deserve a great applause. They made every detail look so great and believable, it's just amazing.
It's sad because if the writing hadn't been so bad this show really could have been something. | 5 |
Worthy of an Oscar? in what area? Acting is o.k. but nothing special. Plot is worthy of a Saturday matinée movie. Animation nothing special. 3D effects far from spectacular. Star Wars many years ago was better without requiring glasses. Costumes? Music is not bad, but not great. If there was an Oscar for money wasted, it would qualify. Occasionally there is a movie that is so bad that it becomes good. Unfortunately this even misses out on that score. I am a sci-fi fan from way back, but there are no redeeming qualities in this movie. All I can imagine is that the multi-millions spent on Avatar have embarrassed the public into believing that it must be good. It will be interesting to see if the non 3d DVD is anywhere near as popular. I think not. | 2 |
Goodnight and sweet dreams to you too and your family are doing well and that you are not replying from the. I will be there at UIC? I will be there at UIC?. | 10 |
We all know the politics served up every year by the Academy. This film fits the mold. Fundamentally its an overrated and derivative superhero movie full of action movie tropes. I mean whats more cliche than asians owning a laundromat? Yes the female lead is well acted, but big deal. You want some inter dimensional movie content, try Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai or even for the most juvenile, go all the way back to Back to The Future. These movies have no pretence of philosophical underpinnings for Millenials who more and more get their bread from TikTok and think they know something about a "multiverse" from Youtube University. Pass. | 3 |
For some time now Hollywood has no more ideas. Common knowledge. Once in a while I try a movie hoping the dry well has some water in it. Ratings on IMDb are governed by the studios (I hope wholeheartedly, because the horror of the ratings being the work of "us"..aaaargh): movies that should make a let's say 3 and wouldn't have been released years ago are now rated 8+. Makes you wonder? No, not really. I didn't know anything about Gravity before I went to watch it. Only the rating and well you never know..right? Wrong, you do know. The movie has a painfully thin storyline and has gruesome "acting". Trying to get deeper into the point the maker is trying to make is blocked by the inferior level of it all. I gave it a 1, only because a 0 isn't possible. The movie's cost was 100 milj...maybe pay the writer some extra next time and cast an unknown actress for the leading part. This movie would've benefited from it. A "movie" to be forgotten about in a very short time. Only remembered for the warning it gives you...don't fall for it..., but I'm sure I will, because you never know. Right? | 1 |
.........and boring. Nothing was happening and just a bunch of talking and boring training here and there. 1st season was good though and should have ended at that. | 6 |
Venom: Time for Carnage is a weak, generic and boring film. The experience of watching this is not pleasant at all, not even in its short duration of 1h30min.
It's just destroyed things, boring and particular dialogues, uninteresting characters with a filling of CGI, being compared to his origin character remains weak no.
Facility script and lazy, perhaps the high point of the film was an advertisement for Free Fire.
If you like the 1st movie to the point where you can turn off your brain to watch movies, you'll love it. | 2 |
For me the first half was quite boring but the second one was much better...... It was an ok movie and of course it could have been better | 7 |
There is no doubt about it, if you're a fan of dark fantasy, season 1 and 2 were actually very good. But with every season the writers strayed even more from the books untill this last 3rd season. 2019 I rated this show a 10/10 but after having just finished watching the last season I will most certainly not be watching any more seasons. Cavill was great as the Witcher and carried the series. But I do believe he was right to leave the show, this is no longer the Witcher.
S1 10/10 S2 8/10 S3 4/10. | 7 |
I have seen the movie at the première night in the Netherlands, i went to the movie with zero expectations. Almost 2 hours later i walked out of the theater really entertained. Yes the movie has it flaws, the story is so simple, bad cgi at moments, Hardy was a bit of a let down in this movie for me. But somehow i really liked the movie for what IT is. Just plain dumb old fashioned super (anti) hero action. I really missed the Gore and i can't wait for the rumored uncut version. And the after credits, haha can't wait for the sequel | 5 |
Honestly, just a terrible movie. Overly generic plot and terrible acting. This is a landmark failure for MCU. Michael B Jordan doesn't have what it takes to be a villain at all. The movie makes use of what is basically BLM propaganda as the villain's agenda and I feel this has been done to try and evade harsh critical reviews, what a shame! Andy Serkis was just too brilliant, sadly the movie doesn't revolve around him. Countless cringe worthy moments as a result of poor dialogue writing. The romantic sub plot just doesn't work. Winston Duke (M'Baku) has a few memorable moments but the movie on the whole is entirely a forgettable experience. 4 stars only for visual effects and a select few actors who performed well. | 4 |
Though it is always very difficult to run the story with so many star casts, but Anurag did it here.
Acting is very good, screenplay is nice and script is nice. Long story but I didn't lose interest anywhere in full movie.
I would say one of exceptional work of bollywood, but I just hope it's not remake of anything. | 8 |
Without a doubt the worst Harry Potter film yet, and this is somebody who didn't like the last three entries in the series, either. The decision to split the seventh book into two parts mean that this one is long winded and preoccupied with needless trivia. The first, better half is similar to ORDER OF THE PHOENIX and HALF BLOOD PRINCE in that it tries to cram too much into too short a space of time. It's all about the detail, and any attempts at atmosphere or suspense are bypassed in favour of storytelling (and don't get me started on the lameness of the horcrux plotting). The second half of the film involves one long camping trip in the woods, spicing things up with a little sexuality and violence. It's as dull and pointless as it sounds.
The worst mistake is wasting one of the biggest ensemble casts in British film history. Why cast the likes of Alan Rickman, Brendan Gleeson, Robbie Coltrane, Rhys Ifans, Jason Isaacs, Timothy Spall, David Thewlis, Ralph Fiennes, Helena Bonham Carter et al when none of them get more than a couple of minutes screen time apiece. Daniel Radcliffe appears bored, itching to take on more adult roles, while Rupert Grint barely registers. Hermione turned from an engagingly cute bookworm into whiny, frowning, petulant little character a long time ago and I ended up praying that the scriptwriters would change the story and kill her off. No such luck.
Add in some poor editing, seen-it-all-before type special effects and poor action sequences and you have an aimless, disappointing movie with a tired feel. Take, for instance, the wand battle: it's filmed like a gunfight. Gunfights have been filmed in thousands of movies, wand fights in only a few, so why go down the dull and clichéd route instead of thinking of something more spectacular? Just one example of the deficit of imagination found everywhere in this film. | 1 |
Will anyone be straight by the end of season 4? In season 5 they turn the teachers around? | 4 |
I think it is not a secret, that this film has absolutely 0 plot and it fails to create suspense, since it starts extremely slowly and the weak dialogue just propels the mediocrity of this movie as a story. Of course it extremely unrealistic and most of the actions can be easily debunked, but that is an another story.
However nobody can take away the absolutely outstanding achievement in cinematography, editing, visual effects, sound effects, etcetera, that is exactly why this film won 7 Oscars, none of them for good acting or storyline of course, but still the movie has left its mark in film history, for sure. The graphics were truly outstandingly impressive, unfortunately that was the essence of this film, this film could have easily been one of the greatest sci-fi films ever made if only it had a better/more interesting story and the dialogue wasn't so dull and pointless.
It is worth watching just to enjoy the awesome visual effects, but other than that its plain, good thing it was only 90 minutes long. Has got to be one of the weakest plots ever, sadly. 4/10 for the graphics. | 4 |
Thor (2011) feels surprisingly small-scale and simple, much more than I remember it being. This is one of those films that doesn't quite stand the test of time. Back when it first came out I liked it a lot. But watching it again, it struck me as quite formulaic. Everything feels so dull, with no energy whatsoever.
The pacing is quite slow, and for the middle chunk of the film nothing much happens other than a really bland love story. Thor and Jane just have no chemistry at all and it's hard to care about their relationship. The humor is okay, not particularly funny but serviceable. Loki is alright. He's interesting enough, but Tom Hiddleston hasn't quite got the charisma that he had in the Avengers film. Here, he is just your typical villain.
The plot is exactly what you'd expect from a Thor movie, with no unexpected elements that could keep you interested. The action is pretty entertaining, but nothing more. The actors are doing an okay job. Again, everything about this movie is average and mediocre, nothing more or less. It's not good enough for me to say that I highly enjoyed it, but not bad enough for me to laugh at it.
The special effects are pretty good, especially for the time. If you compare the CGI of this movie with Green Lantern, (which came out the same year) then it's quite impressive. But perhaps the biggest fault with this film is that it's uninteresting. The premise is promising, but in execution this movie hardly delivers. It's fun, but I can hardly see myself re-watching it. | 4 |
So this girl is only 20 years old and whoever recognized in her the ability to act little Wednesday did the great job!
The storyline is so good, her acting, not blinking and her looks are great.
Congrats to all of them actors and Catherine Zeta Jones because I think that she is perfect for the Morticia role.
Must admit, although, that I did not prefered the vibes of Harry Potter or I don't know Stranger Things?
However, I watched it in two days because it is so entertaining and interesting. It is suitable for people of all ages, ofcourse if you are into that kind of story, fairy tales..... | 8 |
...But I kinda agree that the 3rd season turned a bit comedic with product placements and unnecessary diaglogs which kinda ruins the fear and darkness of the show from season 1 to 2. Still love it though, I just miss the atmosphere of the last seasons. | 9 |
What a great cast and a rather twisty plot, but man, this movie moved along slower than a snail on Valium! | 2 |
