Spielberg dropped the ball on this one. Whew! The book was made to be made into a movie, a good movie, potentially a classic. Bombed hard for me... very disappointed.

Season 1 - 9/10. Season 2 - 7.5/10. Season 3 - 7.5/10 Season 4 - 7.5/10. Started off really well but went down. Had a lot of scope but disaster.

A film with many keys and locks, very boring and predictable.

So for all who love cars, this is your thing. When men drive in circles with fast machines. In times of climate changes it looks funny to see and hear all this loud motors. And maybe that's the best of the movie: the great sound design. Christian Bales acting is wonderful but really close to The fighter fro 2010 and director David O. Russell - which brought him an Oscar.

I wish there was like a rating for each Season on the front page of series. So s1 was fantastic s2 ok~good and s3 subpar the decline of the camaraderie and worse writing is why i think it got much weaker otherwise soundtrack,production and details still top notch.

Just watched the movie on 70mm film and the image quality was exceptional. For the most part it was an enjoyable and entertaining history film about survival during war. It had some great suspense and thriller elements to it. In fact some of the sequences were very Hitchcockian in nature that they reminded me of Hitchcock's Foreign Correspondent. If i had to categorize this movie i would say it's an Action-Thriller that takes place during war. My first problem was the Sound & Music. Both were too loud, annoying, distracting, and monotonous that several people got up and left. I almost did. It's the same problem that the dark knight rises suffered from. They mixed the sound so high to make the action and explosions appear grand but it fails since the visuals don't work. There's only one director who can direct great action and explosions and make it look grand and epic that i almost believe its a work of art, which in a way it is. That director is none other than Michael "Bad Boys" Bay. Second problem i had with the movie was too many cuts to secondary characters that i didn't care about. Not to mention i barely cared about any of them since I never got to know them. They should have stuck with just three stories: the pilot, the father and son, and the two soldiers trying to survive. Period. I don't care about the generals, random soldiers, or Cillian Murphy's character either. Third problem i had with the movie was it didn't have a grand scale or scope the way it was advertised. The film tries hard to want to be epic but fails. On the posters it states that over 400,000 men were trapped but in the movie i didn't see that at all. Honestly, it was more like 2,000, then there was like two planes in the sky and a half a dozen boats. Really? That's what you called grand? If you enjoy a historical Action-Thriller that's full of suspense then definitely check it out. Bring some ear plugs if you can.

Great movie, great action, exactly what i wanted it to be.

A bit of seriousness can help people to relate to the emotions and settings of a scene in the movie. Unfortunately Thor Ragnarok had just too many jokes / comedy which ruined a large chuck of the movie. I felt that I could not take any part of the movie seriously. Even if someone died, I'd probably still be smiling because someone is going say something lame in the next few moments.

Pure entertainment and definitely worth a watch ignore the reviews. Action packed, silly, funny, and a little cheesy at times(I believe this to be intended) with high production value.
7
For me all the Marvel and DC shows just become much of a muchness after a while ,nice to find something with a difference cast of characters.
8
Boooooooring. My god. I'm on episode 6 (I think) and literally nothing has happened. Every single episode is exactly the same. I'm giving up on it now.

You can tell from the first 1-2 episodes who the killer is. It's predictable but it's a charming series. Didn't get all the Tim Burton vibes I was expecting It's like a CW series but with better pacing and better written characters. Good acting all around, Jenna Ortega is shining here but the misters could have been way better. I get that it's for young teenagers but with the amount of mystery killer movies out there they could have done a better job not to be that predictable Pros wasn't expecting this to be a murder mystery series Cons the mystery is not that intriguing if you've watched a couple of mystery movies before.

They say some love stories live on forever....well, this one's gonna stay in my heart & mind for a long, long time ! One of the finest movies I've watched in recent times, 777 Charlie has so much warmth, heart & soul that it's bound to make you feel every beat of it's wonderful journey ! If you're a dog lover, you can't afford to miss this, if you're not a dog lover, then you should definitely watch this to understand the true meaning of this pure, evergreen bond. Excellent direction, crisp editing, beautiful cinematography & a plethora of emotions, man they don't make such movies very often ! Rakshit Shetty has delivered an extraordinary performance here ! Yup, it's not just a movie, it's an EMOTION ! P. S - Keep your tissues/handkerchiefs with you... & don't miss the super sweet post-credit(mid-credit) scene ! #MustWatch.

I watched the first episode and part of the second episode. I will not be coming back for more. Once again Disney takes something good and ruins it. I so wanted another show to watch, but I didn't get laughs or excitement out of this spoof.

This is the episode that made me realize just how much of a masterpiece AoT is. Wow. Hats off to you Isayama sensei! Thank you for this magnificent story! I've heard that season 4 will be even better and all I can think is "is that even possible?!" So excited to see what is next!!

Played to me as a pretentious, but less enjoyable version of Contact! Clever for being clever's sake, in that typical Nolan fashion. Looked gorgeous, and was well acted, but it's not something I'd rush to watch again.

This show is incredibly generic. I was bored. It has nothing really to do with Wednesday or the Addams Family. Very dubious casting all round. And just more of the same men are bumbling idiots attitude. Getting a bit tiresome really. Poor men get a rough deal in most thing, nowadays. Pugsley should be more than capable of handling himself. Ortega doesn't capture the spirit of Wednesday like Christina Ricci did. I'm surprised at Tim Burton, but then he has lost his way in recent years. I saw previous viewers calling it a sort of teeny Harry Potter. Not a bad description and not a compliment. The best thing was Wednesday's clothes. Stick with the 90s films or original series.

Gosh, I don't know about you? This show Is a rewrite of how many before it. I'm disappointed. My grandson just loves the wizards, Harry Potter and all his worlds. I'm just very unhappy with this one. But if you are like me, with grandchildren and magic you will watch it because it's a Harry Potter magical world.

And ruin perfectly good high-testosterone series involving magic and fighting armies? How do we enact ideologies of social justice so weak women or child even can be as strong as men? When in fact all battles have been fought by men, even modern day police fighting dangerous thugs and street riots. Let us be feminist re-writers and ruin everything. This to me is definition of a true monster. I hope thousands of subscribers will be alienated enough by now and won't renew their subs to this compromised Netflix.

It's an old habit of Bollywood (or urduwood) that when something gets successful they make a formula out of it.. recently sports based movies got success so they started making movies on sports one by one.. but after 83 flopped and now this Jhund flopped I hope they stop wasting Dawood's money on formula movies. This is yet another boring flick from Amitabh.. nothing new in this.. probably also copied from some Korean, Chinese, or Hollywood film // we will know that soon // I'd suggest you to instead watch another movie thats shattering all B. O. records .. Yes you are right. I am talking about THE KASHMIR FILES! Whole left ecosystem tried to stop this film still it got success only and only because of public support. That's why it was made tax-free by many Indian states over which the producer of Jhund got salty and jealous on FB. Apparently the "Jhund" of Bollywood has faced a stunning defeat by a small budget film.

Is house of dragon an ok show? Yes Is it a good show? Maybe Otherwise it is nothing more than a POSSIBlE good show With a very slow repetitive story in 1st 3 episodes the show starts with a boring dull act from young princess Rhaenyra to a one path progress of storytelling (how to ascend a female to throne) Compared to GOT, the house of dragon is a baby show with superficial content and conflicts. Just couple of dragons flying, no major war scenes, no complex characters The show is only saved by act of king viserys(paddy considine) and lady princess rhaenyra (emma darcy). No go for House dragon.

The way movie started i knew its going to be something great, something that has never come out of the bollywood movies especially. She acted way too naturally in those drunk scenes. loved her beautiful Kangna and the best actress in bollywood indeed!I loved the part where she was shown to be strong when she takes the decision of going to her own Honyemoon without even getting married. this movie shows far wide sense of what we call being strong. this happens every day to every other girl in the world. it is a huge inspiration for everyone, in fact we should learn to tackle situations and overcome the fact of being undervalued. Women exist and they are the most generous creatures as the ending scene showed how Kangna reacted to the marriage proposal when the guy saw she was looking hot just like some hot mod girl. One should never lose their mind while doing such things to a woman. A great movie indeed, treat to watch. Loved each scene.

First off, I wasn't expecting anything going into this film. It came to my mind, so I watched it. And it was pretty entertaining. I was surprised by how quickly things went into gear in this film; it went straight into it. This film had notable aspects, and they also helped the film, as a whole, stand on its feet. But there were also other things; they weren't "bad," but I can see why other people would look at them negatively. And while I say "things," that's me being thorough, accounting for "everything" because there probably are other things that some people didn't like about this film. I only noticed one. There wasn't much of a plot. Plain and simple. It's pretty straightforward, easy to follow, and that, something with barely any substance, was turned into an entire film. Of course, most people probably expected that, and others weren't surprised. This film: action film, through and through. I didn't care, but I can understand why that would be a "bad thing" to some people. The biggest highlight of this film was by far the action sequences. They were well done: and if they weren't, this film would've flopped. It had nothing else going for it, although who knows how different it would've been if it wasn't an action film. But, as what it was, an action film, the action, being well done, saved it. They made up for any lackluster areas throughout the film. Those involved in the creation of this film understood the assignment. And they delivered. The core of this film was the action: nothing more, nothing less. Its second-biggest highlight, I'd say, was the camera work. It was creative. Usually, something like that never sticks out to me. There were instances where you'd realize it even if you couldn't care less about something like that, aka me. But it was well done and added a lot to the experience. Now, combine that with the choreography and direction of the action sequences: you're in the film. The score was also good. I'm pretty sure I read someone bringing up Inception. I was thinking of scores you'd hear in the Modern Warfare video games, and I suppose that kind of sound is pretty similar to scores by Hans Zimmer. So, that tracks. Yet it wasn't that identical-sounding, just reminiscent. Henry Jackman and Alex Belcher give it a distinctive twist. The acting was decent on all fronts. The actors who had elevated moments regarding that were Chris Hemsworth, Rudhraksh Jaiswal, and Randeep Hooda. The latter of which was the highlight for me. Not only that, his character was on par with Chris's character and brought most of the excitement to the film alongside each other. The cinematography was good in some areas with good shots. At the same time, I feel like it was lacking. More specifically, lacking "something." I feel like it looked too bleak and grainy sometimes, and it's 100% not because of India being the primary filming location. With good cinematography comes making something somewhat subpar looking into something good looking; making something already good looking into something even better looking. It seems like Newton Thomas Sigel had his work cut out for him. But he also came up short. Regarding positives and negatives, I guess this film is half-and-half. But the most important thing to note is that the positives are radiant. So having said that, I don't think the negatives were that impactful on the film and certainly not on its enjoyment. At least for me. This film is by no means one of the best films ever. But it gets the job done/it got the job done. It was thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable to watch, and I look forward to the second film. I hope it's even better, especially the action sequences. Here are my other thoughts:
7
Great film just for the entertainment, great camera shots, incredibly well shot action sequences and some moments you didnt see coming, I'd recommend it, just don't take it too seriously.

I liked Knives out and was excited for this one, but while I enjoyed it, something felt off throughout the whole movie. The theme is "genius" vs stupid and I have a feeling that the writer/director thinks he was really smart for writing a murder mystery committed by an "idiot". Never been done before, amazing. I really don't like it when people make this distinction. I think it would've been more accurate to name the actual root of evil in the rich guy: cruelty. Yes, he is ignorant, but he has absolutely no regard to other people's feelings and needs, only his own. He steals, hurts, lies and destroys without thinking of the consequences. Only to hoard money. That's his crime, not stupidity. What even is "stupid"? We're all stupid at something and smart at something else. There's plenty of "stupid" people out there who are kind and hurt no one. It's the ignorant people who think they are above others and act with complete disregard to others who are the problem. People who think they are above everything and everyone. That's what we should judge. Stupid can be excused, it usually doesn't hurt others. Cruelty does. Criticising stupidity while spreading a stupid point is just too ironic.

Hachi Machi!! This show is a laugh riot so far. I would expect no less when Rogen and Goldberg are behind the series including directing the first few episodes. This series has excellent directing, writing, special effects, cinematography, ccostume, soundtrack and acting. The entire cast is pitch perfect. Coupe, Hutcherson and Wilson shine in particular. Their comedic banter, chemistry and timing are hilarious. The plot revolves around an average guy named Josh Futterman who spends most of his life playing video games. He plays what has been an unbeatable game until one day he miraculously beats the unbeatable. Soon after he is visited by two visitors, Tiger and Wolf, from the future who are actually characters in the game. They arrive believing he is the savior of all mankind and that's when the hilarity begins. Together they begin a time traveling road trip to save Earth from the Biotic war. With the assistance of others the trio battles their way through precarious and uproarious missions. The plot is clever, outlandish, intelligent, zany, hilarious, duplicitous, quirky and beguiling. This series has it all. Science fiction, time travel, alternate reality, action, comedy and a unique plot. The salvation of Earth depends on " Futter Man". I look forward to seeing what's in store for the next season.

It wasnt amazing but it wasnt bad. The first 20 minutes had potential to be a 10/10, but unfortunately fell short for me. I would rate it a 7/10. While the first 20 minutes of the first episode were gripping and had me hooked, the rest of the show was just went downhill and wasnt that good in my opinion. The small girl was particularly grating and became increasingly annoying as the show progressed. Despite this, the series still has its redeeming qualities and is worth checking out for fans of the original game or post-apocalyptic stories. Why give it a 7/10 if i didnt think it was amazing? Even though i didnt think it was amazing i think that the upcoming episodes have potential to be very good.

Never read this book or series or whatever it originally was, but it feels like they tried to include everything from the book and all it prooved is that THAT doesn't work. Screenplays and films/video are a different form for a reason.

To be honest this movie has the same plot-line played over and over again until its done till death, i liked the first new batman film more, although many people liked the pace, i thought it was actually very slow. Heath Ledger plays the Joker OK, but nothing special although the joker clips were a lot more interesting than the batman parts. I think this would have been a great movie if they had shortened it and stopped overusing that climatic building sound over and over again. I feel that the next batman movie will not be so great, and why is everyone making movies about superheros's ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------

This show ahead so much on its side: good science-fiction, great backdrop and effects, but it seemed like the writers created suspense for the sake of suspense. Having people do obviously stupid things for the sake of the story and to build tension when really all it did was irritate. Then start a storyline and suddenly it would be forgotten in the following episode until the subsequent episode. Certainly all these scientists and a Navy seal can't be completely oblivious and naïve. I can't say that it is a bad show, but it certainly fell short of its potential. If there is a season two, let's hope they improve the writing

Haven't I seen this movie at least 100x before? Very predictable, uninspired characters, I gave it 2 stars for the music.

I don't know how many time I've watched it, it's just a master piece. The visual is incredible and the casting and character are sooooo great. Bryan Fuller is such an artist I love him for giving us this show.

Absolute simplification. To make it easier to understand for viewers, Netflix betatterd Witcher's world of all complexity. Here you are only good or bad, nothing between... Silly shortcuts presented only to make episodes looks entertaining, no depth, no sense, no logic. No respect to the original sense of Sapkowski's books. Series would have 10% of audience if not called 'The Witcher'.

Confidently directed, dark, brooding, and packed with impressive action sequences and a complex story, The Dark Knight includes a career-defining turn from Heath Ledger as well as other Oscar worthy performances, TDK remains not only the best Batman movie, but comic book movie ever created.

Initial 30-40 min movie is good, after that what they want to show and what they want to achieve they can only tell. Even if you sleep for 40 min in between, you won't miss and will be able to catch up with movie, if you still want to watch. Pankaj tripathi good as always, Abhishek does same acting like tree so is Aditya roy kapoor. In every movie they will have Muslim guy but not in this, because it has Yamraj in it, which Hindu believe so putting muslim guy might hurt their religious sentiment but they are making fun of hindu gods again like in every other movie.

The book was far better than the movie. The movie omitted parts of the book that I thought were extremely important to the story line. The movie also added things that I thought weren't so important to the story line. I guess I made a mistake in trying to watch it after I read the book.

I didn't want to do this, but this movie seems to have created polarization equalled only by the baffling politics that's going on now. Firstly, there's the cringeworthy reviews by people loudly complaining that there's no colour and the screen is half chopped off. Many don't even have the concept of Aspect Ratio, or can allow that B&W with cramped aspect is a valid way to treat something set in century before last. Others complain simplistically that there's no plot, no coherence, no sense at all, which is obviously overstating the problem. Sure, there's almost complete lack of cohesion, and there's no forgiving that; we can also say that calling it a masterpiece is vastly overstating things in the opposite direction. What bothered me was that what artsy gimmicks there were, were too transparent or just overdone. Big dollops of subtlety are necessary when you tread this ground. None of that here. And if you were still there by the ending, well, that was the icing on the cake. All I could do was shake my head and whisper "Wtf??" Willem DaFoe and Robert Pattinson basically did pretty well, with DaFoe hamming it up to the hilt, while demonstrating that he's still got what it takes. Pattinson did nearly as well, although his accent was all over the place. In the end I have to evaluate this in terms of what effect it had on me, and I can only say I was left scratching my head. The only thing I can remotely compare this to is Lynch's Eraserhead, which, unlike this one, I went back and watched repeatedly until I was sure I understood it. I am unable to even consider doing that for this one. The "4" I gave this is for the photography and the acting.

What If...?, Marvel Studios' first attempt at an animated series is total garbage. The quality of the show does vary in episodes; from mildly interesting at best to unbelievably obnoxious at its worst. Most episodes bored me; Episode 4 is actually quite decent and kept me slightly invested in the story. On the other end of the spectrum, Episode 7 was so obnoxiously bad; I hated it so much that I didn't bother watching the last 2 episodes. The storylines feel uncreative and like a knock-off of the original movies. I did not care about any of the characters; the series rushes through their storylines so fast that the audience doesn't even have time to feel emotionally attached to the characters. This series was so boring and obnoxious that it set the bar extremely low for Season 2; I would have given it a 0 out of 10 if I could. I won't bother watching Season 2 at all.

Dang! So disappointed that I have to stop watching The Boys after just threw episodes. Such a great concept and very good first season. Season two is overboard woke with more virtue-signaling and messaging than anyone can possibly tolerate. It is so blatant in fact that it completely ruins the show. I would bet that it will get just enough viewership to convince the studio to make a season three just to wrap up the series. Unfortunately, this is what happens time after time in Hollywood these days. Blame the studio for hiring bad writers that can only identify with a minuscule portion of the population. Go woke go broke!

Nobody can't deny that the two actors are trying their best at it. And that Japan and its people have this undeniable charm. BUT COME ON! It's simply a very sluggish and boring movie! You watch and watch, constantly expecting some clever twist that will never come. As so many people have already put it, had that movie been shot by an unknown director, nobody would have ever heard of it. Clearly, this movie and her director don't deserve all the awards and praises they got. It only further revealed Hollywood's own bigotry. Not to mention the occasional silly preconception about Japanese people. Sophomoric.

The main character is not interesting, pretty boring .. The plot is not smart .. a lot of inconsistencies .. it's not even about the unanswered questions .. it's more than that .. I thought annihilation wasn't wow .. but at least it made sense and they put some logic into it ..
3
The actress that plays Lilli is just awful. And the rest of the show is a waste of time!
3
Lot of hype, less of good content. Film is not bad, but still is disappointing in many areas. I have expected epic adventure movie with comic characters, and I've got summer family action flick with good humor, mediocre sound and 8/10 effects. Wasn't a waste of money, but doesn't live up to its hype.
4
It's really hard to suspend disbelief in a dialogue based movie. Even all the sex related scenes don't cover it up. So disappointing. No one speaks Russian!!! Wtf!!! And their accents remind me of Malkovic in Rounders Everything is in dollars... why??? Her leg scar was so fake, even her black eye... ugh I rarely leave a review but had to for this one

When I first heard of this show, I was initially sceptical about it. But after following each episode, I have become progressively more interested in it and its universe. Without a doubt, this is one of the freshest shows that have ever been invented. The characters were wonderfully and fantastically fleshed out, right from its flawed and brave heroes and heroines to its sadistic and sympathetic villains. Not only that, the universe created is astounding, and even comparable to the universe of The Lord of the Rings. Even more, with the different bending techniques shown: Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. The fighting techniques were almost perfect, simple and yet extremely detailed. The storyline was intricate and delicately intertwined with each character, full of revealing information that helps you understand, all the while developing into a final climax which bursts out and leaves you breathless. The animation left me at a loss for words. It was crisp, clear, and full of detail, every line drawn out beautifully, from the first season to the third, the animation gets better progressively. The backgrounds and landscapes were awesome: Book One opens with the icy blue atmosphere and muted greys of a winter season, then bursting into a green and flowering, as well as shaded brown spring in Book Two, and finally opening into a golden-red summer wreathed with sun in Book Three. The script, on the other hand, was put together marvellously, incorporating witty quotes and perfect conversation. The voice acting was excellent, each voice actor blending emotions into their respective character and making us truly feel for them when they get hurt, when they experience sadness or happiness and so forth, and make us really come to care for them in time. My personal favourite is Katara - gutsy, independent, and fiercely stubborn, but there's a lot to be said for Aang, who learns to grow up and face his responsibilities, and also for the trustworthy and steadfast Sokka as well as the sarcastic but emotional and reliable Toph, and Zuko, who is angsty and troubled at first, but later becomes more courageous and willing to face his fears. All in all, this is not a show to be missed. This is one of those cartoons which are for both adults and children to enjoy. This show, as prejudiced it may seem, actually makes your imagination explode (I admit I'd have loved to be a Waterbender) and burst to life as battles and confrontations are fought. Truly, it really will be remembered in years to come.

One of the best war movies, of indian films. This reviles the strength of our indian army.

It took me a couple of days to review this show, because of the impact it had on me. I'm not the biggest fan of really graphic violence and the depiction of it and it can be the reason for me to not watch a show. The Boys has this (sudden) graphic violence in it, but I took it, because the show is really gripping. Ok, maybe a couple of flinches and sideways looking :) Urban is just fantastic as the main character and carries a lot of the grim energies together with Antony Starr. The latter develops as a really creepy and convincing sociopathic villain. The rest of the cast is well sought out and together they form a great team to portray the story. The story itself is at some moments not the best told story. There are a couple of jumps and assumptions that the viewer must swallow to follow the storyline, but overall it's well laid out and it develops in a good way. The action, the cgi, the camerawork and the pace are great and keep the viewer very much engaged. In all honesty... I can see that its tagged under dark comedy, but one could also argue that its just a really dark depiction of a possible universe not too far from our reality. I personally believe in a bright and open future, but if you put on some really dark glasses and let yourself be drowned in hopelessness... than The Boys portrays a really scary future. But in the end, it's a great sci-fi show with a very original twist and I would have rated it higher, if it wasn't for some abrupt moments and twists that didn't feel natural to me. But a definite watch!

I'm not much into romantic genre but have heard about this movie since childhood. Loved the songs in childhood but hadn't watch the movie. Well today i did and i really loved the movie a depressed business tycoon completely changed to a full of life person because of a random girl he met on a train.

Warner Brothers decided to brighten up their DC range of superhero movies after accusations of dreariness. Shazam! who started life as Captain Marvel once upon a time tries to have some irrelevance of a Deadpool movie but remaining kid friendly although its tone is uneven. Those school bullies should had been toned down and made more comic. As a toddler in Philadelphia, Billy Batson got separated from his mum and has been looking for her since. Although it never crosses his mind that she has not been looking too hard for him A teenage Billy Batson (Asher Angel) goes through one foster home after another. He runs away from them all to search for his real mother. In his latest foster home he has joined a diverse range of foster kids including disabled foster brother Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer) who is into Batman and Superman. Freddy gets bullied a lot and Billy helps him out. His selfless actions brings him to the attention of a wizard losing his powers. Billy gets new magical powers from the wizard but is not told the extent of his powers. Together Freddy and Billy learn what this could amount to but Billy uses Shazam to make a quick buck first until Thaddeus (Mark Strong) shows up. He is powered by the seven deadly sins and wants Shazam's magical powers. For a film released during Easter, the Christmas setting signifies some kind of last minute reshoots or re-editing. It certainly takes too long to get going and some of the Thaddeus as a kid scenes looks oddly inserted. Like many other superhero films that origins part affects the pace of the movie. The film improves when it gains momentum, that is when Shazam tries to realise the extent of his powers and confronts Thaddeus. It might have helped if the wizard told Billy what his powers were.

I do not understand the "wow" reviews for this rather dull and pretentious series. Despite what the makers claim, this is just another zombie apocalipsis trash, with a small twist - it's not virus, but Cordiseps fungus that turns infected people into flesh-eating zombies. The production is awesome though, with very believable landscapes of a nearly dead civilization as we know it (hence 4 stars). But the plot itself is fairly predictable, and so is the preformance of the lead actors. Bring the saviour of the humankind to those who can turn him/her ("the chosen one") into a remedy. Yes, some likable characters would suddenly die, but this is not enough to make this series original. I managed to watch 4 episodes, but then had enough. No matter what's going to happen, I care neither for the story nor for the characters. Pushing the buttons of people's feelings (learned from Mr Spielberg, the great master of this kind of manipulation?), like in episode 3, should be a "no-no" in movie business. Same as exploiting the theme of a death of a child to squeeze some tears from the awed audience. Such a waste of time and money spent to produce this mediocre piece of pretentious trash.

This is the worst "superhero" film i've seen. And there are a few really bad ones... The script seems to have been written by a stupid teenager. Better wait till rental or tv. I added one star for decent special effects.
2
And that award would be Most Overrated TV Show Of All Time. Cheap looking, badly written, bargain basement acting (although Cavill is fine, if one-note), confusingly paced and edited. I honestly do not see what everyone else is seeing and rating so highly. An absolute chore to complete.

Season 3 is just terrible. It makes no sense, story is week, full of pointless time wasting fillers. All of the characters are behaving like mindless idiots, including 5, which made it even more disappointing. The whole Vanya into Victor change has been dragged too long that made it awkward. I do want to see it into season 4, but if its made as bad as this season, I won't be watching it.

Let me start by saying I love season 1. I thought it was the perfect start for young horror fans and it was able to boost Netflix's popularity so they could go on and make more originals, such as Dead to Me, Big Mouth, The Babysitter ect. It was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. However, But the time season 2 rolled along, I started to roll my eyes. I thought it was good, but nowhere near as amazing as the 1st season. It felt a bit unfocused at times and very forgettable. I remember every plot point in season 1, and about 2 scenes in season 2. And if you want to see one of the most pointless and out of place episodes in the history of TV, watch the 7th episode of season 2. But it did wrap all the stories up nicely and gave us a satisfying ending. Until now, Season 3 was great, it was so much better than season 2 and felt like the show found it's feet again. But because of my distaste for season 2, I no longer cared for the characters. All of the big character driven, heart felt scenes that are made to make teenage girls cry their eyes out, and the chemistry between the characters, no longer felt like something I could identify with and therefore it made me feel a bit bored, wanting it to just hurry up and finish. And thank God it did. Season 3 perfectly ends the show. All the characters have reached the end of their progression. They have nowhere else to go. Done, completed, now let's move on. But wait, THERE'S MORE!!! My instincts tell me that Netflix has already ordered Season 4, completely ruining the ending of 3. Don't over milk the cow! Everyone will be satisfied if the show ends here, and we can move on and Netflix can make more influential originals. But knowing American TV shows, they will milk the cow dry, leaving a sour taste in everyone's mouth, when we should be remembering what a great show it was.

Congratulations Netflix, what a treat! Inspired by the 1965 TV series, by the same name (which was, itself, inspired by a 1960 movie, SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON, about a shipwretched but very inventive family) this new series brings brilliant innovation, intrigue, humanity and mystery and is a worthy successor to it's much beloved progenitors (Yes, I am old enough to have seen and loved the original series). Great characters (plus an irritating villain), good cast, human situations, real tension, an ominous powerful threat, good CGI. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trilogy of seasons. Well done! I am giving this series an 9 (superb) out of 10 {SciFi Adventure}

Russian Doll made me have great expectations up to the last minute of the last episode, but, unfortunately the ending was not to my taste and that's just my taste, nevermind it, some love the show, some hate it. Neutrally speaking, the show is somewhere in-between with brilliant acting by Natasha Lyonne and good performance by the cast, with nice and intriguing soundtrack all along. It just seems to me that the last episode lacked the previous episodes depth and captivating moments and the finale wasn't to my taste. I expected something darker and more brutal. Of course it is humorous and has dark, twisted comedy in it, which is great by itself, but, please don't turn it into a melodramatic comedy with shallow twists and turn of events in season 2. Keep the high standard. Thanks for reading and hopefully understanding.

Let me say with the good things about this movie. Leonardo and Brad give a beautiful performance for the movie, one of their best. The direction and cinematography, is also quite unique and brilliant, something you would expect In a tarnatino film. Furthermore, there are some scenes in the movie that brings you to the edge of your seat or make you laugh like crazy. The bad? despite all it's technical perfection, the overall movie fails to satisfy. The story of the movie is not something to applaud. At times you feel lost and try to figure out where is this going and is quite boring. Furthermore, Its not like I don't love drama, but I expected more action or suspense knowing that this a Tarantino movie. If I compare this with his other classics like kill bill, pulp fiction etc. this would not rank among the top. The strength of every drama is a good story, and that is what I feel lacked here. At the end of the movie, I left the theater impressed by individual performances of the actors and movie team, but unfulfilled overall due to a weak story, which was a huge let down as I expected a lot from this movie.

Pacing issues, crap CGI the most overrated series ever

Premiere/Ep1-2 review: It's definitely a fresh direction for MCU, and it's definitely a slow burn mystery. Interesting and unique to take on sitcom style. For a series this format suits best. Elizabeth Olsen & Paul Bettany both showcase their talent with the time & variation offered being a series. Overall from the first two episodes the fans are in for a treat. Episode 3 : The sitcom style remains but takes a step back for the story and MCU continuity cements. The comedy holds but is played off in Wanda's powers abnormality. It feels like the beginning of the story & pay off of the set up from first two episodes.

Few people except the Coen's are capable of creating such weird and funny psychos. Their understanding of the human psyche amazes me every time. Amongst all of the great Coen movies, this one is the best. Not for the course of the action, but for the silent breaks inbetween. Watch it a hundred times and it'll still put a smile on your face (at least on mine). No need to say, "The big Lebowski" is also worth checking out!

First of all, I really enjoyed the movie, despite the fact they showed Iranians very bad, hostile people. I feel sorry about the Iranians who are watching this movie, it should be very sad to see how the billion dollar movie industry in US can show any country whatever they want. I know this because another movie (Taken 2) showed Turkey as a 3rd world country with all the women covered and the streets like hell. They never showed any single educated Iranian, their arts, etc. All of the Iranians were angry people except the housekeeper. I don't know the actual history behind this movie but the acting was good, I am very surprised to see Ben Affleck as a very good acting in this movie. The story evolved very nice keeping the tension up until the plane passes over Iranian air border. I was thrilled until the last 5 minutes. John Goodman and Alan Arkin added a nice taste to this movie but their part was not that long. I took 3 stars out because, this movie is full of propaganda. But still it is a watchable movie and I don't think it deserves any Oscar since this movie is made because of the propaganda reason. I don't agree with people who gave this movie only 1 star because it is a propaganda, you need to be objective although the people who produced this movie were not!

Back in the 60's, 70's & 80's all long running tv shows used to have one episode where the story was written in such a way so that it mainly consisted of flashback scenes of all the high points of previous seasons. Whatever the producers may claim, for the audience it mainly looked like the story-writers had run out of ideas and was just using that episode as a stop-gap episode. Well, this movie somehow felt to be in the same vein; recycling previous Spideys and previous Spidey villains as the story writers have run out of ideas. I doubt very much that the Spiderman comics ever indulged in stories like this. What a boring movie and what a load of junk.
2
The series starts of pretty good but a 10 episode run was a bit to much if you ask me, could have been done better in 5 or 6. There are episodes where almost nothing exciting or interesting happens which at times makes the story really boring. Acting is brilliant, the story itself is also very good, but they could have done a bit more horror and some more details on the 'creature'.

Parasite is itself a parasite of a movie. The start is interesting and the cinematography is excellent throughout the film. It's a lot of fun seeing the street life of this poor family and their living conditions. There are some very unlikely manuplations involving job positions which are all too quickly accomplished and never entirely believable in their successful execution. What kills this film is the ridiculous second half of the movie and ending. This is It makes you wonder if they had a new writer finish the story up. One who just wanted to create an ending and had no concept of how to do it. Because there was some good acting and great film work, I gave it five stars. But it probably rates less due to bizaare and impossibly stupid parts to the movie.

I enjoyed the TV show and the originality of Sherlock Holmes in a modern world (phone). Some investigations are very great to watch and each episode make us wonder what they changed and what they did in a modern way. Some of the plot, and some writing is pretty incoherent. Somet times we wonder why they did this an some easy writing (i mean some of the plot and some scenes can be viewed as a lazy writing, its the way i perceived it anyway). But the Tv show can be quiet enjoyable and it can be a believable representation of Sherlock holmes in a modern world.

It's been a while since I've seen Steve Martin, but men, It's such a good feeling to see him back again. Funny, but with his own unique flair and style, and he's still got It. Martin Short was always a bit of the outsider that I kind of liked, but learned to appreciate more over time. He's just so weird. But in this show, It really works. Selena Gomes fits the bill as well. And then the writing, excellent. It gives you that vibe of old crime movies, but in a very original new coat. Really a nice addition to the TV Show landscape. It's never really tense, but the twists and turns are quite original and just entertaining. It's just a great feel good with some funny moments without overdoing It and an intriguing story. More please!

What a waste of a stellar cast. The trailer shows almost all the scenes that the famous people are in together. The rest of the time you are watching a little known Cuban actress who is apparently the star of the movie. Yes I hated TLJ but I honestly hated this as well. Because the waste of talent of the cast a 1-star rating for me.

Pro: still Henry Cavill Geralt & Ciri chemistry ok Cons: everything else: bad camera work, incoherent, hard to understand motivation and stakes or allies, weak dialogue which seems written by 3rd class graders. At this moment everything is confusing and the plot is just a big mess. Everyone is chasing Ciri but I don't know why and I don't even care why. Netflix ruined The Witcher IP for me, now with Henry Cavill out I foresee the series ending abruptly after season 4. And that is better than continuing this joke of a Netflix series. I will return to the game, which captures The Witcher essence as it should be.

Not just the intro, but the whole movie is funny and smart as hell. You are griped by the voice of Helen Mirren, interactive singing by Liso and a strong focus on humor. The details in Barbieland are hilarious. There is no water in the shower or glasses, the pool is a decoration, every night is a girl's night. It shows you how great imagination is, especially kids imagination. And it guides you to perceive the movie with an open mind. After Barbie and Ken enter the real world, it can be even more unhinged and crazy than Barbieland. What helps you to just go with it, is that this 'real world' is also shown as fiction, in details. The all the way up button in the elevator, the immediate response of the director of Mattel, that they had to get Barbie in the box, meeting the ghost of an old lady. It really helps you to let that absurd concept entertain you on every level. So you laugh a lot, cry a bit, feel motivated and you hope that everyone is truly listening to the message to love yourself.

I am not sure who wrote season 4, but it had the best story telling in the entire series. The characters were smart and interesting, the plot was unpredictable, the pacing was perfect, and there were multiple highstakes events all happening at the same time..I really enjoyed this season.

I'm not sure what surprises me more about this movie: that nobody had made a film about the domestication of the wolf or that anyone needed to make that film at all. Consequently, Alpha (2018) seems a little unnecessary and highly predictable as the "hero's journey" plays out. The trailer doesn't leave much for the imagination, as a lot of the events in this film don't have any significant twists that the astute viewer wouldn't see coming. And maybe I'm biased because I'd be more of a cat person than a dog person-despite being allergic to both. Visually, though, Alpha does provide some fantastic shots of wilderness that one can only find in places like Canada and Iceland. Plenty of the flat silhouette shots of characters traversing huge distances and the stylized slow-motion events made this movie feel a bit like 300 (2006), which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The real trouble is that it takes these characters so long to traverse these distances that there isn't much excitement in the first half of the film (aside from the inciting incident). If the beautiful scenery can keep your attention, you'll be fine, though. A few of my more significant qualms come with the plot of the film, though. Many of the characters' decisions seem to be merely present to drive the desired plot along, even if they don't make much sense. Like, I get why these early humans would go out to hunt a huge herd of animals at once, but how are they preserving that much meat? How are they hauling tons of meat four days back to their settlement (I've played enough "Oregon Trail" to know there's a weight limit)? Why isn't the settlement near this hunting ground? Lots of these plot choices led to the main character's eventual survival story, but they don't work if the survival was never needed in the first place. A scenically beautiful film with a predictable (if not nonsensical) plot, I give Alpha 3.0 stars out of 5.

Pretty bad movie. A couple of good songs. But.. Mostly artistic pretense. Insipid, tedious, etc. I play jazz, there was little Jazz in the soundtrack. An arpeggio does not jazz make. Perhaps one of the most disappointing movies ever. Here is the deal about jazz. It is spontaneous composition against a standard. It is like mapping constellations against an infinite night of stars. This movie Fails,to express that. It is a trifling joke, nothing more.

This is definitely one of the best Asian Comedies I've seen in a while. They have successfully surpassed Shaolin Soccer with flying colors. Stephen Chow is a very unique individual to come up with a concept like this for the traditional Kung Fu style cinema. When I seen this movie I really didn't know what to expect. Just when you think that you would figure the movie out it would just turn another direction and amaze you. The fact that the action sequences were amazing yet funny was what was so attention grasping. I can't remember a time during the movie where I didn't laugh. It's not easy to integrate humor with fighting sequences, but they pull it off perfectly. My hat is off to this movie and it's creators. My 5 bucks were well spent because I got more than what I bargained for.

Without a doubt this is a culturally important film, one with an important message to tell its audience. We learn that bad power leads to oppression, and good power leads to good oppression, but only if used properly and respectfully. Blind loyalty to a power structure keeps the system intact. Wakanda is, in essence, an African fantasy, one in which the continent is able to withstand white oppressors and consequentially has the power to build an empire off Vibranium, a natural resource that is more powerful than steel. And many of us enjoy seeing people of color on the big screen. After a century, Hollywood may be waking up to the fact that Black heroes are actually bankable. Surprise! Wakanda is hidden behind clouds and mountains, and a fantasy rain forest canopy. But wait a minute. It is a sci fi film with advanced aircraft. Doesn't that mean the world possesses radar, and satellites? Well, then why have the clouds and rain forest kept this place such a secret for so long? DO NOT ask questions like these, of this film. If you are the kind of individual who can suspend your reason and intellect for two hours, and just watch, you may enjoy this. Personally, I felt alot of pain while watching this film. I might put it in the category of Lone Ranger, and Wild, Wild West. It really stank, as a story. The capital is from the evils of white colonizers, but any sort of imagination is left in the back seat when it comes to this emerald city onscreen. It's a missed opportunity on the part of Coogler because, after all, this is an MCU movie set in Africa! I wanted to see the savannas and the fantastic natural sights and beauties that come with this fascinating and colorful continent, but instead, there's an over-reliance on fake digital backgrounds rather than real on-set locations. This is detrimental to bringing any kind of humane connection or absorbingly artful feeling to the film, which quite frequently feels artificial and computerized rather than lived-in and three-dimensional. To sum it up, if you like comic book films, you may like this one. I do not like comic book films, and I really, really did not like this film.

This show is, despite Selena Gomez' monotone voice and lack of acting abilities, surprisingly good. The plot and story line are enjoyable, it's fun. This isn't brain-teasing stuff, it's simple, easy, wholesome entertainment but there's too little of that nowadays. Yes, it's carried by Steve and Martin (hah hah), and would be better if it featured more Steve Martin. Or Martin short funny skits. Ideally, both. Or just less monotone, dreary moments featuring Gomez. Surely they could have found a skilled actress to act in this?!? Rr.

OK, I liked the campy original series. I applaud Netflix for doing the remake, but the pace is awful and way too much story and back story development. I have no problem with the move to,strong women leads, but please Dr. Smith is so blantantly a lying sinister person that all these smart people are that stupid not to figure her out? I dig the updated robot, but even that plot is weak. And 6 episodes in and all the survivors from the various Jupiters on the same planet. Where is the adventure? This is basically a personal drama set in space.

Season 01 was heart breaking , season 2 you start hating Hannah for what she really was but still was over par . S03 the new girl took the 2 wonderful seasons and dumpped in garbage . take her out plz dont even bring her dead memories back

U want cliched mindless action where the places are not shown accurately here is the movie for you.

To reviewers who claim some of us don't understand this film, I like all types of films but really like and appreciate cerebral films that are different and have depth, that give you something to think about or explore psychological aspects of life and personality. Not enough depth here to be interesting. Besides being listed as a drama, it also says it's a comedy, and I appreciate most types of comedy, but not much of that here either. I watched it for the lead actors and the story line, but again, boring and tedious. Could have been an interesting short but not a full length movie. Don't waste your time.

I was reluctant to watch this but i succumbed to the hype and wasn't disappointed. Many of us will be able to resonate with the first episode. Young love and that first kiss. Some of us will be able to appreciate a later episode when an old friend passes away. Fewer of us will have experienced holidays in Italy and living in Sweden but, at the core, lies the bonds of youth and shared experiences and emotions. The accents maybe hard to understand so keep those subtitles on but there are several scenes that don't need them so make sure young (or easily-embarrassed) eyes are kept away for the many naked scenes (i hadn't watched anything from BBC 3 since Nighty Night in the early days of the channel - are all the shows this porno-graphic?). The one disappointment for me is that the BBC should make a programme set outside it's own geographical area. I am sure the Northern Ireland tourist board would have appreciated the exposure had it been set there rather than s You only have to go Aberystwyth to see fans of Hinterland flocking from across the world to see how much a show from a minor TV channel can affect local economies. The thing that surprises me us that despite their experiences, their accents don't change. Daisy Edgar-Jones is actually a British actress so did well to keep up the Irish accent so well. On the other hand, perhaps Paul Mescal's accent surely should have softened as the series progressed to show the way people change their voices by the places they go and by people they come into contact with. A great series, looking into the way people are affected by their choices, the words that are or aren't spoken and how they feel about the way they make others feel. It's perhaps left things open for a series 2 but, hopefully, unlike the recent Irish series Blood shown on channel 5, they won't make a second series just because if the first series being received so well then not come up with something as good as the first series. It starts out as Grange Hill turns into Grease then becomes Fifty Shades If Grey. More of a chick flick but there's enough to keep the guys entertained too.

Bhuvan has so improved. He totally proved he can also do better performance without self-made characters. Initially Dhindora was also amazing as his own script was there. But here Abbas &Hussein Dalal are the writers so it might be challenging to him and succeed in that. Sorry it's Bhuvan oriented review. His body language, his acting is smooth. He fits in a poor guys and even in rich guy. In both phase he look classy, dashing and handsome. He is so rooted actor as he came from YouTube background he knows editing, additions, etc. Things and in addition with experience of Dhindora. You are Rockstar Man !!! Script was good, simple and real. Sorry I saw only Bhuvan in series.

I watched "The Irishman" recently. Not only is this movie, by Martin Scorsese, probably not true, but it was so un-Scorsese like. it was very dull, boring, and quite long. Totally opposite of how great the movie Goodfellas or The Departed was. Robert de Niro, and Joe Pesci did very uninspiring portrayals of their characters. And Al Pacino was terrible as his portrayal of Jimmy Hoffa. The actor Stephen Graham, who played Tony Provenzano, would have made a much better Hoffa. Initially, this movie is garnering a 8.5 on IMDb. I'm sure this rating will go down closer to a seven as the years go by. Again, this movie was nowhere near how awesome Goodfellas and The Departed were.

An incoherent mess from beginning to end, the confusing timeline is splattered allover the place like a Jackson Pollock painting with no explanation. As a viewer I should not have to Google "Witcher Timeline" in order to make sense of what is on screen. I do not expect hbo teir production values however The Witcher displays laughable hallwlmark teir production values (watch out for the floppy Swords in the wind). The poorly written dialogue is that of something out of a cheaply made. The only saving grace is Jaskier and Cavils charisma.

I didnt even make it to the supposedly awful season five because I couldnt force myself to keep watching episodes. The episodes are too long and the ideas are mostly boring and uninteresting. The best episode of the whole show is the first one. The only other episodes I would consider notable are "shut up and dance" and maybe "playtest". I dont recommend it.

As it is obvious from reading my review title, i am a huge Harry Potter fan and i have been since its inception. I have loved all the books and all of the films (yes, i have, but there's no doubt i like some more than others)and have gotten impressed with how good the films became in Yates hands (i loved Newell, but Yates is my top choice right up cuaron). The fifth one was amazing even with all the material that had to be cut, and Half Blood Prince turned out my favorite film not only in the series but in the whole world (and i do watch a lot of good films, but nothing can beat my love for HP). Taking all that into consideration and also considering that my favorite book was Deathly Hallows and that i've been waiting on every HP fan page for the last year and a half, this film: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 completely exceeded perfectly my expectations and topped them by a million times. There was not a minute of the film i did not love seriously, and i just cant get over the shock of the film. There are uncountable reasons why this film quickly became my favorite. First of, i think that splitting the last book in two parts was the best idea EVER, and i actually think we all win, and furthermore, we all won. The filmmakers will make much more money and all the fans all over the world will be much happier and much less disappointed with the films because they would be able to include much more from the grand and epic finale. And i think I'm not the only one when i say that that's exactly what happened. It is my favorite film not only because it's incredibly true to the first half of the book, but because it was done perfectly well in my opinion. Im definitely going to see it 3 or 4 times more because it was really amazing, so that's where the filmmakers win. But i want to make clear that it is impossible that the filmmakers made such a nice film if they didn't care of the fans, so not only do they care of the cash but of the fans as well, which is an honor. I loved from the beginning to end. So if you have sticked with my review, you can see that i LOVED the film like few other things, and believe it or not, it wasn't just only because i am a huge potter fan, but because the film was incredibly done: the cinematography was superb (congratulations Eduardo Serra, you nailed the landscapes and the whole angles throughout the film, bravo), the editing was pretty good (even though i know your hate for mark day), the score was pretty nice fitting (i still prefer hooper's HBP and Williams POA, but it is my third favorite and it was incredible. Desplat you did great, and if it is true you are already on board for part 2, I'm very happy, even though i cant deny i would have loved Williams), the visual effects were perhaps the best in the series (and i believe this time they can get the Oscar for that), the acting from the trio is undoubtedly THE BEST IN THE SERIES, they totally stepped up their game and just acted amazingly throughout the film; the adult cast was amazing as usual, and i loved Ralph's performance more than before, and i loved Rhys ifans and the guy who play mundungus, and Toby Jones, and however briefly snape, and Helena and pretty much everyone, but i want to congratulate hugely to Rupert and Emma (especially Rupert who was also hilarious) for their amazing performance... The sets were great (nicely done Stuart Craig), the costumes, make up, SCRIPT (congratulations Kloves) were incredible, but most of all i want to congratulate Yates, who gave a more than superb directing, not only being hugely HUGELY faithful to the book, but making the story flow in an amazing way. I simply cant imagine any other director doing these last films, and I'm happy as hell you are doing them. So as you can see, both fan review and movie review, i loved the movie, and i have no doubt is one of my favorites in the world (again, i watch tons of good film, but HP is unbeatable for me). I know this review is hugely long but it is because i loved the film and i cant stop saying so. I actually thought it would be hard to top Half blood prince, but hell it did.... Yates just keeps getting better and better. So once again, thank you filmmakers (especially Yates) for making this perfect film for me and i guess for may others out there. But thank you JK Rowling for creating such a master book in which they could make this awesome film. I recommend it with all my heart and my passion of films. The non readers will love it for how amazingly paced it is and the story, and the readers believe me that you wont be disappointed AT ALL with the film and it might become your favorite. I know it is a huge shot, but i can see this film getting a good shot with technical awards at the Oscars, and maybe a nom for best film. 10/10. Just a perfect film. And needless to say how excited i am for part 2, and how devastating it will be when it is all over.

For starters Wandavision is definitely unique within the Marvel universe. Marvel usually plays its movies "safe", but definitely takes some creative risks here. The only criticism I would give would be that the finale falls a little flat. Overall still very good.

This show is absolute boring drivel. I never feel so strongly to leave reviews for shows but this show deserves to be known as such. Red keep could be demolished by a meteor in the next episode and I wouldn't feel one emotion for any of the characters. The dialog is convoluted and a spewing of random unmemorable family names and historical nonsense. The political "game of thrones" is infuriatingly uninteresting. The battles have no build up or explanation for why a certain group is the antagonist. Little to no gore except random violence for no explainable reason to characters that were just introduced. The king is a pushover. The princess an unlikeable brat. The brother a troublemaker just for troubles sake. They do multiple actor swaps and timeline jumps deleting any ounce of likeability you had for any character. Friends don't let friends watch this pointless nonsense.

This became lame pretty quickly. The two main characters - David Budd (the bodyguard) and Anne Sampson (Home Secretary) are just too wooden for my taste. David Budd's character and face reminded me of The Terminator - but with absolutely no humour. Speaking of humour there is absolutely none throughout. Also didn't make much sense, for example after the attempted attack on the home secretary in episode two she is alone in her hotel room!! Come ON!! She would be surrounded by her minions and staff, the press would be hounding her, there would be endless phone calls...

No this is not the original nor should it be! Things move on and things change, that is the world we live in. Take this series as a fresh approach and you will enjoy it, it is one for the family to enjoy together - good mix of characters battling adversity, good storyline, fantastic sets and special effects. Please give it a go!

I hate Riverdale and all of its derivatives, "mystery" series but they are just generic teen series, with all these clichés of modern teen series and a plot that many seem to love and applaud, but in my opinion, they are terrible. And this is wednesday, take the crazy addams and take away everything that makes them great, to make the same series, dressed in originality, but when you see the first two episodes, you realize that it's the same as always, it's netflixfication of the crazy adams, and all the bad that that entails. Tim Burton's direction also disappointed me, the most Tim Burton is the costumes and the intro (maybe the music) but the rest is a meh, generic and superficial direction. It is a superficial series, exactly what the same series criticizes.

As someone who never fully immersed themselves in the Harry Potter fandom, this spin-off wasn't high on my "to watch" list. Sure, I liked the movies well enough for the continual narrative they provided (still haven't gotten to the books yet), and I understand that this parallel universe full of magic is a unique idea that hasn't been explored in this fashion, but this just seems like a tag-along to capitalize on a successful franchise. That's not to say that Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) isn't good, it's just that it does require a bit of background knowledge in order to fully "get it." Partly because seeing wizardry and magic in the modern era might still seem odd, this throwback to the past is only made better by placing it in the United States. Both of these settings differ from the main Harry Potter franchise enough to be both a side-story as well as a prequel that explores some of the more obscure aspects of the mythos. While there are subtle chastisements at the closed-mindedness of Americans, there also wasn't much difference between the American magic and the British kind (other than what they called things). I would have almost liked it better if there were "Tommy gun" wands and New York magical mafias. Granted, there was a little of this last one, but not enough to be truly "American." In the end, Fantastic Beasts fails to deliver a solid antagonist for the "uninitiated," since the anti-magic character didn't seem to affect the actions of the main character much at all, and the "true" villain was revealed at the end, but with no context (other than spinning newspapers at the very beginning) as to why he was bad or what he did to deserve his punishment. All this being said, Fantastic Beasts did provide a bit of entertainment and managed to show us some "fantastic beasts" along the way, as it promised. Another taste of magic to keep Harry Potter fans satiated, I give Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 3.0 stars out of 5.

This is probably among my personal top ten favorite anime series. It takes an intriguing premise and builds layers of complexity and nuance as it goes along.

Two hours of non-stop high-budget action, with a couple of witty moments and the story of the mediocre "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." episode. Undoubtedly fun to watch, but without the essential qualities and totally forgettable. 6/10

Look! Don't get me wrong it's a great action film for a non Bangladeshi. But if you are one, it's a nightmare. Why on the earth would every Bangladeshi listen to Bollywood songs? The accent of the Bengali actors was horrible. The portrayal of Dhaka was horrible.Go search google if you don't believe me. The plot was below average. You couldn't hire a Bangladeshi consultant! For real! Overall great action with zero plot and kudos to Chris.
