Ok, so what if John Wick was a Beekeeper? Dumb, but not bad.
Like da Vinci's shoe box diorama : it's well put together, contained, and easy to figure out.
The most surprising thing about this chamber thriller story of a cutter ("I'm not a tailor"), his assistant and the mob in early 60s Chicago is that it wasn't a play first. Everything from the sets to the blocking looks like it was done on the stage first, but no, this original screenplay always identified as a movie, no matter how odd it presents in that light.
What's left is a film that thinks it's more clever than it is (I saw well over half of the 'twists' coming even before they got their bobby socks on), but that doesn't prevent it from looking good. The other plus that keeps the film bobbing above average is the cast, with a Mark Rylance who absolutely owns the lead role and a refreshingly good Zoey Deutch who brings much needed light to this noir production.
Probably would've been more fun to watch in a theatre than a home theater, but that doesn't mean it wasn't enjoyable.
Could have been good but isn't. They need to get rid of the "odd couple" or the "let me Google that for you" service, and the obligatory "hacker" is possibly the worst in TV history.
This show should be cancelled, and erased from memory ! Star Trek should be star trek and not a woke brainwash with bad actors and worse storyline!
To be able to keep enjoying this show, I literally have to keep skipping the cringe dramatic scenes they have to fill in every 3 minutes, because they don't actually have enough budget to do proper Star Trek episodes. On season 4 currently and it's usually 15-20 minutes per episode that are worth watching.
Truly gripping from episode 1. Incredible acting, every character acts in a logical way. You'll expect about 15 of them along the way, maybe at times the right one but it'll still be shocking in the end. Excellent production as well, the sideways angles and mirror shots are perfect for each scene.
Season 3 really went down the shitter. I don't think the show ever surpassed it's amazing first season.
Yeah, okay mate, I'm pleased the stopped at this point. This series was a surprise, but was defo coming off the rails in season 3
Still, got to say I enjoyed the whole hitman as the ordinary angry guy next door vibe.
Noo, Max didn't have to die
It's ok, not great not terrible, but holy fuck how we came from Alexandra Daddario to this shit, I don't really understand casting black teen for this specific role, it totally ruins the immersion of this series
The VFX is top notch , but sadly this is a show for kids. So , it has way too much plot armour, predictable storylines and very mature dialogues from little kids.
If you're fine with that , you'll probably like this.
4 episodes of convoluted plot, technobabble and emotional detachment, 2 episodes of essentially what I was hoping for... makes for a very ambivalent season to be honest.
Yes, I liked where this show's Loki ended up - but I didn't like the way they arrived at that point.
This movie is not a sci-fi... This is a movie about drugs and addiction. The way it shows the road down is unique. Drug like diamonds, or shiny precious pills are the reality for those addicted to it. I think it is a great movie but do not sit down to watch it expecting a sci-fi or an action movie.
I was a bit worried about yet another woke crap series - but..... aside one totally racist "I am not having this conversation with a white guy" remark, this is actually how things should be: just a really good series! there is a high Tom Clancy / Jack Ryan vibe to it.
Not sure why Morgan Freeman is on the poster here on Trakt, he's nowhere in the series. At least not in the first 6 episodes. Completely binged this....
How come literally every Dutch movie is becomi g about drugs. I was hoping this would be more about the hardcore movement but prepare for another shitty 'drugs lead to bad situations'. Disappointed.
I am watching the first episode, and while I am liking the story so far and the premise. The constant jumps in time are annoying. It's been an awful trend.
The fort episode has already jumped between times (1973, 2012. 2015 and 1959) in the first 12min
For a show whose every episode is essentially paint-by-numbers, it has to be hard to mess up the formula. That said, this episode found a way to do it. Terrible writing from the first scene to the last. Cringe-worthy dialog. I am surprised that a show with this kind of visibility could have been done so poorly. Sure, it did mess with the formula a little bit but the twist was still there and if you'd seen the other episodes you could see it coming a mile away.

By no means will this be a movie you will love but it will be a one of those funny and silly “horror” spoof movies that you will find amusing.
You'd think a multi-million dollar show would have a better action sequence.What on earth was that scene where Ahsoka , Sabine and Ezra are dodging bullets from over 50 storm troopers , oh my god. That was sooo bad. Even I would have directed a better action sequence.
There is so much fury in Rosario Dawson's face while battling , but we can hardly see any of that in her fights and the result is embarrassingly cringe .
So we finished one complete season and we still haven't gotten a clue as to what Baylon Skoll's arc is? The actor has passed away , rest his soul , so I wonder what on earth would they do now .
The storm troopers usually have a zero plot armour in the movies , here they have been dialled down to -100.
And the director's idea to wrap up this garbage of a finale was to show a glimpse of Anakin in the end? Do you expect us to give a standing ovation for that?
Very very disappointing
4/10
The first two acts were really interesting, but the reveal was a bit underwhelming.
Episode 1 was good then it got very stupid and dumb , the script went directly downhill sooo many incoherent stuff and decisions along the way.
This could have end in 3 episodes, just shoot him!
That was a letdown, compared to previous episodes. The scene on the bridge especially, it was like out of a B or even C class movie.
One of the most overhyped movies ever. This movie is absolute drivel. They essentially turned the main character into a superhero. It felt more like a Marvel movie than a real Predator movie. Will not watch again.
wtf......... Charly :'( the best thing about season 3.
I am not sure if I can really like this Starwars episode much. It's one big remake of the attack on the DeathStar in orbit around Endor, even including the base door leading to the power source. Only thing missing is some furry knock off of the Ewoks, where I guess the Kaylon come in - instead.
Season 1 wasn't exactly superb but was passable. Season 2 just sucks. Lame story dragged out over 10 episodes and nothing funny along the way.
Please... someone force Selena Gomez to take acting lessons!! She has the acting skills of a cardboard box. At the very least, teach her how to use a non monotone voice, its called inflection I believe.
Good strange, bad strange, zombie strange, good Wanda, bad Wanda, zombie Wanda, good jack Ryan, sliced up Jack Ryan, no bree Larson, innocent girl, bad girl, hero girl. Good start, medium middle, bad ending.
Watching the movie, I kind of got the impression that Sam Raimi wanted to change the style of the Marvel movies, but Disney prevented him from doing so, instead reintroducing the same old thing. Yes, you can definitely see Raimi's fingerprints in some of the scenes, and my god are they good! Seeing Wanda kill so cruelly in a Marvel movie gave me goosebumps, I loved the chase scene to death. But otherwise, it's the usual Marvel story, nothing more, nothing less: story written in a forced way, I didn't like America's actress very much (as well as the character), the musical fight is a ridiculous setup.
5/10
Holy fuck how beautiful is Elizabeth Olsen btw
Meh, I've got to say more than five words, but "meh" pretty much sums it up. It's set in Hawaii, so it's pretty to look at, and there's enough going on to want to finish it, but it's not beyond just being watchable.
Season 1 was good. But the director/writer in season 1. Only did 1 episode in season 2. That explains the 2nd season sucking. The story is all over the place. To many characters to care what the heck is going on. They went cheaper/less CGI on season 2 as well. That was a strong point in season 1. I am not even gonna bother finishing this season.
