will i ever not be annoyed by this movie? probably not. 3rd time watching it and it still doesn't rock my boat. the screenplay is one of the worst in the mcu movies, sooo corny. them building their own villain is boring, because it doesn't take the story further, it's like a hiccup they had to pass by to continue their avenging of problems NOT caused by them (Thanos' attempts), but that doesn't make for a good movie (altho i will say i REALLY like the angle of the consequences of the Avengers' actions, that then builds up to Civil War, because it's important to understand they might be powerful but they still have to answer for their mistakes - maybe i'm slightly team Iron Man oops). Besides there's just so much melodrama in this movie, and I'm all for a little bit of emotion thrown into the action spectacle but please do it tastefully... don't have Natasha and Bruce suck face while a whole city is flying in the air, getting ready to drop and destroy half the human race like....
On the upside, I like some of the character development we get in this movie like Clint's, Natasha's AND Bruce's (but not the parts that involve one another). I love the twins, I LOVE Pietro SOOOO much, every time i watch this I can't help but be heartbroken for what he could have been in the future, especially cus Wanda without him just doesn't captivate me as much.
All in all it's exactly what a 7 means on this site: good. But it's an avengers movie ffs, avengers movies are supposed to be FANTASTIC. And this one will always make me sad because it was a waste of my favourite team of people ever.

The most fascinating documentary I've ever watched. Gay black men, drag queens and trans women are the backbone of our current pop culture, and this film shows the backstage of it all. Unfortunately they still don't get credited, their culture is stolen by white folk and praised by other white people. But the lgbt+ community knows, and we celebrate them.

There are definitely some issues with this documentary. I take outing and closet-blaming very seriously and while I think politicians should indeed be reprimanded and called out for passing and supporting anti-lgbt legislation, no one knows what they're going through whilst in the closet, no one knows how badly they might be suffering, and they shouldn't be attacked for not being out. Yes, they should be attacked for their anti-lgbt policies, but not for being closeted specifically. I also thought the obsession with Crist got a bit too much by the end. And bisexuality IS a thing, and gay people love to pretend it isn't.
That said, this was a very interesting watch as I didn't know how many closeted gay men were in american politics and specifically in the republican party.

Such a powerful film and such a fresh take on activism. You can feel the anger in the performances and often it has a documentary feel to it. Absolutely loved it.

This was a bit boring but the start and the ending totally made up for it. Oh and all the close-ups of sweaty legs and shoulders that made my heart race just a lil'

Woweee Tab Hunter was GORGEOUS. I'd never heard of him but i wish he had been a star in the present he'd STILL be every girl's dream man but he could be out and proud at the same time and no one would care.

Amazing performance by Taron, i’m so in love with him. It’s hard to not draw comparisons with Bohemian Rhapsody, which i also liked, but I’m happy to see that this film wasn’t as afraid to take risks as the former was. It showed the good and the ugly, and it didn’t shy away from more disturbing scenes, which i applaud. The musical format also fits perfectly. Loved it!
8/10
this season wasn't very good...
only have season 9 left to catch up on and then season 10 with the main man back in town ayeeeeeeeeee
this is soo cheesy and predictable but it has an interesting enough way to deliver a message about life, death and grief. and zac efron’s an angel

two fucking r*pe scenes in a single episode*..................... fucking gross
*i'm watching with the netflix ep division
4/10
i wanna watch this 300 times more MINIMUM (only reason i’m not giving it a 10 is cus mysterio in the first part of the film was just so bland omfg, i mean i get it, he was faking it, but eh...)
9/10
ok i rewatched this, ended up doing my first rewatch only 10 months later lmfao
I still absolutely loved it and the issues i had with it fade away once you're watching with the knowledge mysterio is fake and so are fury and maria BUT since you do know those things the movie becomes more boring, which doesn't happen with other mcu movies no matter how many times i rewatch them. i think it relies too much on the twists and unexpected turns, losing quality when it comes to an actual good solid story you can get behind of. the best parts of the film are when peter is just being a teenager with his friends or a kid with happy or may and you forget you're watching a super hero movie, which i dont know can really be seen as a compliment (the big hologram illusion sequence is still one of the coolest things ive seen in a marvel movie though). Also i'm a huge fan of Jake but mysterio is just insufferable on a second watch, i couldn't wait for him to get off screen every single time he showed up. I'm keeping my 9 rating just cus i love peter so much, and i love the vibe of this movie and the travelling around europe makes me really nostalgic.
the comments saying this is an honest portrayal of modern teens................ @ american teenagers are yall ok? is everything ok at home? this show's like everything i hate about american culture but i guess i should have seen that coming. won't be watching it again, which is disappointing cus i love zendaya and she's so cute in this :(
EDIT: i watched the whole season and the way the show’s directed, edited and generally its technical aspects are amazing. some issues are delt with really really well (rue’s depression for example) but everything else is just very much still an extra american teen show that makes me cringe every time i have to remind myself im watching the lives of 16 and 17 yos.
6/10
As much as the fights were getting a bit repetitive by the end, this is still one of the most well-done super hero movies i've ever seen. It grips you from start to finish and it's hard to watch at some parts, but it truly elevates the genre in a way that hasn't been done since the Dark Knight Trilogy. It shows what real life would actually look like if there were enhanced people in it, without unnecessary comedy to lighten up the mood, without flashy fireworks (not that there's anything wrong with that, but something different is definitely welcomed right now). I just loved it so much.
The only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is cus from all the x men movies, this one included, Logan/Wolverine never really became a favourite, he's just not the sort of character that wins my heart over. Laura on the other hand... love her so freaking much.
9/10
i remember reggie and joelle were my otp in s1 and 2 but i don't remember half of their arc anymore because of how shit my memory is and how long it takes for these seasons to come out jhfhajhs either way i'm still mad this was all their episode is... im so confused about what is going on with reggie, i need answers.
apparently i need to regain my childhood innocence but making this a live action made me v uncomfortable with the whole beast thing LMFAO. but still, the movie's pretty beautiful
7/10
that was so freaking cute and such a nice send-off to woody! really loved it
8/10
that felt really cute and really genuine!
this is finally starting to feel like old school shameless again, bless
this show lowkey makes me uncomfortable now lmao not sure if that speaks in its favour or against it tho
THAT'S the Shameless i fell in love with all those years ago. They definitely got lost along the way but this second part of season 9 reminded me exactly why this show used to be, and could still end up being, one of the best. This family, these characters, these actors are amazing and if given the right material they can tug at your heart strings like few others can. I'm gonna miss Fiona so damn much. But i cannot wait for season 10. If they keep up this level of quality and with Mickey and Ian back?? Shaping up to be their best season yet. Let's gooooo november 11th!!!!!
