Would make for a decent Twilight zone episode if it was cut to half the length. I really liked that they just quickly got to the point, but then they completely killed the pace but pointless flashbacks that did not add to the story at all. Also, no real surprise at the end . Not bad, but nothing really special here.
A solid movie, but felt so generic. Like I have seen it before without seeing it.
A fun, entertaining, superhero movie made for adults and not crying Twitter babies? Did I wake up in the twilight zone? It's hard to believe it after all the trash movies that came out this year. DC is on a roll recently, and I hope they will continue like this.
Just another disappointment. If they have money to spend on the CGI and the good actors, why don't they spend some of it on a good writer? But looks like a story no longer sells a movie. This felt like it was written by someone who heard about Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribean (just heard, not seen) and they tried to make something similar. And failed at it. Not even Dwayne can save this mess.
If Holywood will continue like this, there will be no point at all even to bother watching anything that comes from there. Trash upon trash with more trash on top. Really sad.
Surprisingly enjoyable. The mystery is interesting, builds well upon itself, and keeps you watching to see what's going on. Overall I hated only the performance of the main character, who l think could have been replaced with a cardboard cutout without any loss. Luckily as the show progresses he becomes more of a side character and the story is not about him. Also too bad the story is not contained in the season, as it does not answer everything and the ending is quite open. Hopefully, a second season is made.
Not enough Cage, just not enough Cage. And just too much Awkwafina. To me, she sounds like nails on a blackboard. Just horrible.
Overall, few funny moments, some nice action, and a predictable story. Hoult plays basically the same character as in Warm Bodies here. If they had the courage and let Dracula win for a change, would at least made for a nice surprise
Who's gonna tell the kid that he is adopted? No way he can be a child of those two idiots.
Butler and Huss are just great. If they are not in a scene, you can just skip it.
I hate how they kept it mostly realistic the whole movie, and then had to have a "superhero" character at the end. Spoiled the ending for me. Could have been done much better
A new variation on an existing concept. But nicely done. Fits well with other similar shows, like Liar Game (JP or KR), Zero, Kaiji, and others. Can only recommend it.
I noticed one thing. Each time there is a murder game in a Korean show, they focus more on the characters. In Japanese shows, they focus more on the game mechanics. I wonder why it is so.
This was painful to watch, I felt like my brain is slowly dying while watching this. The 1 from 10 is still too generous of a rating.
Just disappointing. The movie could have been quite ok, but does really every character need to be just trash? All of them? Really makes it hard to care if they live or not
The show ranges from interesting and educational to propaganda and total misinformation. They are not objective on every topic and really should do more research on some of them.
A decent episode, with few interesting suprises. The ending felt quite abrupt, like they just ran out of time, but still not bad.
I'm torn on this one. On one side I really like that they just tried to make an entertaining movie. On the other side, it's just too bloated and mostly just stupid. But still watchable. I just wish they used the dog more. The dog just stole the show.
Maybe I'm just too old for this kind of movie. Where I loved Godzilla Minus One, I was mostly bored here. Maybe if I was 12. Thats about where the target audience for this is. Some cool fights and effects, but nothing with any substance here.
It has been a while since I read the book, but the start looks promising. Bit slow, but not the worst. Let's see how it continues.
Still as fun as the original TV show. And such a big tease for a second season. I hope it comes soon.
So many great actors, such a mediocre story. A real shame.
So good to see more Japanese movies in cinemas in Europe. Finally a reason to go again. By coincidence I went to a 4DX screening and boy, it was a lot of fun. Maybe too stretched in the beginning, as I think they tried to make it also for those who don't know the anime, but once it gets going, it is a rollercoaster ride (and in a 4DX theater, it was one, literally :) ). Anya just steals the show in every scene she is in. There are a few things that could have been developed more, but this is not James Bond, so I did not expect that anyway.
I watched this and The Cleansing Hour back to back. And, I think I enjoyed The Cleansing Hour probably more. While the premise is similar, that movie goes more to the point, while the buildup in this one feels just to slow. Still, not a bad horror. Once it gets going it's really good.
It was ok. Nothing new, nothing original, but few funny moments. Overall watchable, if yo don't expect too much.
A very faithful adaptation of what already was a great book. Too bad I read the book, and in the middle of the first episode I remembered the whole solution. Still, I really enjoyed seeing how they tried to obscure it, keeping the surprise.. If you like An then there were none by Agatha Christie, you will love this, as it is heavily inspired by that book.
Don't watch this if you have not seen the first one recently. You will miss too much. I just watched back to back both, and loved it. Great story, characters, action, martial arts, everything. This is easily better than all recent Marvel and DC movies combined.
There are a few funny moments, but overall its nothing special. It's even worse, when you take into account, that this is already a remake that changed very little.
Another great example, that while Apple can have all the money in the world, they can't create anything. Was Jobs really the only person there that had any taste?
While this started ok, it quickly became unwatchable, stupid story and stupid characters. Not sure what happened to Bryce, but she starts to look like the Michelin man. Have you noticed that none of the male spies were obese? I wonder why.
Always when I watch a show like this, I do hope that real scientists are smarter. But the older I get, I no longer belive that.
Overall, the underlying story is interesting, the show just is about everything, except that. There are a few good moments, but a lot of pointless ones. The moment where one adult had to explain to another adult that 43 + 8 is 51 killed all hope for this show for me
After rewatching Twilight zone, Outer limits, Tales from the Darkside and Tales from the Crypt for at least 5th time, I was looking for something new. And I stumbled on this show. Maybe be because I wend to it after watching so many great shows, but this was just bad. The acting and effects were good. The cinematography mostly also, just often too dark. But the stories were just boring, dragged out, uninspired, forgetable. I only like the 3rd episode, that showed a bit of originality. Skip this show, go watch better ones.
The TV show is much better.
While overall I enjoyed the movie, and the whole premise was interesting, in the end it felt more like a waste of time. Like you are going somewhere and everyone keeps telling you that you will see something cool at the end. And when you get to your destination, there is just nothing there.
This movie is like 50/50. 50% great, 50% complete trash.
