The underwater cinematography is one of a kind, even by today's standards. And the scene where Lindsey drowns and is then resuscitated is alone worth sitting though nearly three hours. What a performance by the entire cast! That said, the ending is bad... like very bad. It's cartoon-y and heavy-handed in its message, and feels like a awkward pacifist cheeseball, which Cameron continues in his overblown Avatar. This man has no nuance.
Gotta love this poor rich people act. You marry into a blatantly racist, rooted in outdated tradition, highly ceremonial family, and then surprised pikachu face because they act exactly the way they've been acting for hundreds of years. The royal family's upmost concern is with the outward appearances, so no, they will never acknowledge your mental health problems because that would not look good for them. Did they not do the same thing with Diana? Hello? Price Phillip's track record alone should have given you an indication of how your mixed race child will be received. Once you exit the inner circle, yep, you are pretty much dead to them. Do you not know about Edward VIII? Again, Diana? Didn't think you had to curtsy to the Queen behind closed doors? How naive are you? If you wanna be married to a prince, that's the kind of shit baggage you have to put up with. Nobody sent you to this marriage at gunpoint. It ain't right what they did to you and your kid, but did you really expect anything different?
It's what the French call, spicy garbage?
Wait, what? She's seriously being the righteous one right now?
This show is so full of used up, dusty, laughable romance cliches.
If you are willing to suspend your disbelief, you will enjoy this very entertaining show. Except that last episode. That was sloppy.
I had to downgrade my original rating. In my early 20s I loved this film, but now I see some glaring issues that become apparent with maturity. The film is entertaining enough, but feeds on the typical melodramatic stereotypes of shallow romcoms that the original show tried to destroy. Samantha's storyline of choosing to be true to herself is probably the only thread still linking this generic cheese fest to the superior characterization of the small screen. Some things didn't age well. I had to pause for a bit to figure out what was wrong with Sam's tummy - still looking. Carrie accusing Miranda of ruining her marriage was just rich too. Women (Carrie, Miranda, even Louise from St. Louis) who must forgive men who jilt them is the kind of backwards empowerment message I have to scratch my head at. I feel like the show that gave so much power and freedom to women, destroyed all that progress with toxic and immature romance drama of the movie. It's not horrible, but it is disappointing to the fans.
Definitely history lite, but very entertaining. I loved the series when it first came out. Seasons 1 and 2 are the best; the quality of the last two diminish quite a bit, in my opinion. Once they were done with Anne Boleyn, it seems like they didn’t know how to spruce up the rest of history, and just went with bland retelling of facts and events. Wives 3-6 had little personality or story to tell.
Wow, I’ve never seen such a despicable human being in a show, and I’ve seen some nasty villains.
Just like with the rest of the show for me, I really didn’t care for the main conspiracy plot/freaky experiment son bit, but I thoroughly enjoyed the standalone, monster-of-the-week episodes. Season 11 started out rough, but quickly found footing, with some episodes feeling like the classic X-files.
Now that this contestant is gone (good riddance), I'd be happy with any of the remaining queens being crowned.
The best episode in a very long time! Just a goofy, parody of itself, but such a joyful one.
I wouldn’t be surprised if producers deemed Dela’s constant winning too predictable, so they just gave her a cash prize to bow out. El scandalo?!
I can see why they keep pushing the power of love message so hard, but Sailor Moon makes some really dumb decisions in this one. I swear, she only wins against evil out of sheer stupid luck. Like almost the entire squad (not to mention, the whole world) was nearly wiped out because of her.
Fantastic art in this episode. They gave their final episodes to the best art director, I see.
You gotta love and appreciate Tarantino's style to enjoy Death Proof, because this is the least mainstream film of his that I've ever watched. Definitely not for the masses.
A extra star for the beginning, and an extra one for the metaphor. Otherwise a very weak film with very weak characters that do things that make no sense.
A very weird, even lame, filler episode.
Lol his accent suddenly changes once his identity is discovered. What? Why would it, if he had a perfect American accent to begin with? This show is so stupid.
They just randomly get power-ups and upgrades? Where were these when they had to fight Dark Kingdom?
Mimi annoys me to no end. “What do you mean you can’t tell me about your super secret government job?! Whaaah!”
This season’s art is so much better than it was at first. It’s dynamic and smooth, and just a pleasure to behold.
From the direction's point of view, this doesn't feel like a typical Sailor Moon episode. Sorta weird to just jump straight into the monster fight.
Sooooo............ when is the plot starting?
It's been a while since I watched (and loved) season 1, but I can't remember the writing feeling this forced. It's almost awkward. While Midge's can-do-everything attitude made sense as a devoted housewife, it doesn't quite fit post-separation. Loved Susie's abduction though.
I've been noticing how some episodes have beautiful animation and art, while others, like this episode, are just a clunky mess. The animation is jerky during most scenes, which is especially noticeable in contrast with stock sequences. Character anatomy and movements are wooden and even deformed in places. Funny that I've never noticed this as a kid. But the last episode with the lake monster (great!) followed by this one (bad!) was an eye-opener.
I am a champion! Lovely Punch!
Jupiter finally arrives! My favorite sailor soldier!
Feels like a total filler episode that has nothing to do with the Dark Kingdom. I always kind of wanted to skip it whenever it was on tv. However, now I totally adore the Hammer Horror monsters that are featured as the keepers of the house.
Haha, what happens when they graduate from the top university? Um, I don’t know...
