WTF Howard is dead!!!

I got chills and pain in my chest at the end

I mean I love Jimmy but my god what an awful person him and Kim are

I feel so bad for what they did to Howard

RIP man.. he really was a good person overall, didn't deserve this

This movie could’ve been so great but it had a terrible script & poor execution. Visuals were about the only good thing in this movie. So many things unexplained. Rushed ending. And not enough character development.

If you got 90 mins to waste & nothing better going on in your life, watch it. Otherwise move on, you’re not missing anything great.

This is the perfect movie to watch if you have something else to do and you just want something playing in the background to keep looking at every 10 minutes or so.

I really wish I had a friend like Harvey... A friend that has infinite ways to help you out of infinite situations. Every season thus far, has been nothing but extraordinary. Season 7 is going to blow us all away.

And i don't understand ketu's review.

This movie was so bad and sometimes so dumb that i had to laugh my ass off.

One of my highlights is this scene:
The mood is intense. Will Smiths Char is on the best way to bleed out. He wants to record a message for his wife. It is possible that this is his last message ever. So he starts the record and says:
"Record Message. 'I think i lost the contact to our boy' End of Message".

Really, i laughed so hard. It was that dumb and the most senseless Message ever that i laugh again when i think about it.

And this is not the only scene like that.
- The creatures are so boring; without any imagination.
- Jaden is so whiny
- and so on.

I am a SciFi Fan so i am fine if the setting has some scifi panels and a nice background (future, earth without humans).

But even I can not to give more than 2 Hearts for this. And the ending is just bad.

my rating: 2/10

It baffles me how a movie like Titanic is universally celebrated as one of the most important and successful films of all time, yet this movie is derided as strongly as it is. It's basically the SAME movie! I'd like to hear a good argument for the difference of opinions on these films, and not one with just childish defenses like "It's just terrible!!!". It's a little bloated, but it has an effective, tragic love story, as sappy as it may be. And it features an impressive, bombastic recreation of that tragic disaster. It works well enough for what it is.

I started watching The Time Traveller's Wife last night. I loved the book and read it so many times i dogeared the copy I had.I hated the movie that came out some years back. Eric Bana and that Adams chick just didn't capture the characters for me.

Theo James though... oh gosh, he is Henry. He's absolutely Henry. Rose Leslie is a good actress, and she's doing a good job, I am not sure I like her as Claire. I'm not sure why, but she's just not fitting the picture I made in my head about this woman with guts and long love. I can't fault her acting though, she's doing a great job. But it's Theo doing it for me.

I honestly am yet to not like him in anything. I can't tell if I think he's pretty, or if he's a good actor or a bad actor. I just like watching him... he makes me believe every character I've seen him play. And say what, for me, he has definitely captured Henry's humor, his fear, his kindness, his ruthlessness, his wily cunningness, all of it... I particularly loved the scene with him and Rose Leslie in The Stacks where Henry introduces Claire to his mother.

Gosh... he totally sold me.

I read a half and half kind of review from a big outlet a couple of weeks ago, and was very surprised someone attempted this story again, and was totally prepared for another wan attempt, but no... I am really liking this.

This is definitely doing some justice to Niffenegger's beautiful love story.

This movie gave me the diarrheas till Easters. Gotta see the movie.

Enjoyed this show, binged watched over the weekend.

It’s basically a B-movie, only with bigger stars than usual and a slightly bigger budget. While it’s enjoyable at times, the plot doesn’t make much sense, and the ending is a bit of a disappointment.

This is a 2 hour VFX sizzle reel. It is not thrilling. It is not exciting. Snooze fest in Green screen land.

still trying to figure it out the ending feeling lost ...

After Big Bang, Scrubs and Friends the best sitcom I know and another great example for why a laughter track is absolutely no requirement for realizing an outstanding sitcom! I can only recommend this series!

If you're like me and a sucker for rom-com's then you won't be disappointed and should make sure you watch this.

I think that this totally predicable movie is adorable.

You just have 3 episodes in part 2 and you decide to dedicate one for a complete man vs wild wanna be?!
Absolute Garbage.
Will give it a 4/10 just for the visuals.

A show so good and singular it redefines what Star Wars can be. How can we accept riskless mediocrity after this? After such rich, topical themes, actors given something real to chew on, tight writing, practical living sets, tight scripts. Simply phenomenal.

Excellent last season of an awesome show. I'm pleased how they connect all loose ends and got the transition to BB right. I don't have to point out that this show is well written and looks beautiful.

There are some weaker elements though:

• I don't like how Howard's death is intertwined with Lalo's story. I don't doubt that Lalo is capable of what he did. It's not even unthinkable that sometimes innocent citizens in Lalo's way are killed for no good reason. But this is not what the writers intended to teach. It's supposed to be another of BB's and BCS' famous "I told you so - actions do have consequences" moments. Jimmy and Kim try to destroy Howard's reputation by rather innocuous pranks. And the consequence is that they share a responsibility for his death? Hmm. I don't know. If I'd believe in Karma maybe, but I don't buy it. They are not even guilty of not telling the truth to the police or the widow. What's their alternative? However, Seehorn does an excellent job to illustrate guilt-ridden and traumatized Kim. Whether her guilt is justified or not. But I don't think that part of a story is a well written parable with an instructive climax.
• Don't like what Jimmy and Kim do to Howard. I found that really underwhelming. That's not a terrible, heinous plan to undermine someone's life. Their grand plan is like a series of pranks. Couldn't they come up with something better?
• Lalo in Germany. This is not Germany. Can't they send a crew to Germany? Destroys the illusion. Plus, I don't think that Lalo's investigations in Germany are well told, exciting or even important in the grand scheme of things.
• The last b/w part is too long. I'm not interested in his little schemes. It would have been sufficient to tell that this grandiloquent and flamboyant character can't hide disguised as a boring regular citizen. He won't change. He fails to understand his responsibility for his own actions. Everyone knows that by 6x09. And one day, perhaps by pure chance, somebody will identify him 'cause the crimes he was involved with were not exactly local news only. People like him (or Walter, or Jesse) aren't exactly made for a life in hiding.
• The b/w cinematography was a nice idea in theory. But b/w classic movies usually look fantastic. Warm and vibrant. BCS' b/w looks insipid.
• To no one's surprise, actors became older. I did not really care until mid-season. But in this last part of the season, especially with Jesse, it kind of destroys the illusion that this is a prequel produced before BB.

Vanye became Viktor a little half assed. I expected a less lazy CW explanation than Vanye just realizing she was always meant to be a boy. So she got a hair cut and boom.
I knew it would be hard to explain but I expected a better explanation. Otherwise it is still a fun show. Despite that bad writing.

Den of Thieves is like the male reproductive organ: exciting at each end but long and boring in the middle.

It's a trap most films of this genre fall into. An action scene at the beginning to grab our attention and one at the end for a climax, but in the middle nothing but cliches. And with the European version clocking in at TWO HOURS AND TWENTY MINUTES (WTF!?) there's a lot of room for cliches.

The renegade police squad as bent as the criminal gang they're pursuing is a cliche we've come to expect, but too much time is wasted demonstrating how '3-dimensional' and 'fleshed out' these men are. To be sure, there's enough beefcake here to choke the deepest of throats (Gerard Butler, Pablo Schreiber and 50 Cent are so cut their shirts keep falling off), so they're 3D and fleshed out all right, but family men? We're meant to believe they consider family important, yet the only proof of that we're given is they feel guilty every time they treat their families like shite.

It's a shame, really. Christian Gudegast does a competent job directing the action and suspense, but he should've stuck to that rather than drawing so heavily on the source material (a 1992 non-fiction book by Pulitzer Prize winning author James B. Stewart).

No, Den of Thieves is not the epic cops and robbers film it thinks it is. It's simply a giant fake boob: over-inflated, self-aggrandizing and not as unique as it thinks it is.

Like many action films, the first half is too long and the second half is too short. If I wanted to see a film about 'family' and 'politics', I'd watch Mulan. Black Hawk Down or 13 Hours are better of the same.

Freddy is up there with Tanya McQuoid for characters that annoy me the most, well done

I know many people dislike this movie but I saw it in my childhood more than a dozen times and still have to say that its one of my favourite of all times.
For me it has the right amount of action, drama and romance and I love the historical aspect of it.

This show is truly a telenovela product.

A pure telenovela show, where's the love story is a big part of a Latino/Hispanic drama.
The writers think that they're clever by using a lot of historic references and a little bit of pop culture but in reality, it suffers in an unpolished script.
I think that this show could be cut into 10 episodes to finish the first arc of the story and also cut each episode to a minimum of 50mins instead of 70mins runtime. (It's exhausting to watch this unnecessary scenes).

I'm still thinking whether if I continue this series to the 3rd season or dropped it.

I like the show so far. Pacing is a little slow for me, but it's not a deal breaker. Some people have said the show is ruined by political stuff, but this story, specifically Ty's, is a reality for a large portion of Americans. To call it SJW whining is incredibly dismissive. And let's not act like Marvel comics aren't full of politics, on purpose.

weird movie. the performances are solid, but the script is a mess (and weird). It couldn't really grab my attention, and I really don't understand what the critics see in it

Brilliant first season. Great range of characters portrayed by a great range of actors. Incredibly weird, but also completely relatable. Season finale got me asking all the right questions and looking forward to season 2. Ingrid is annoying, but hot.

Having a predictable movie is one thing. Having a predictable movie yet still enjoying every minute of it is another! Such a cute movie.

One of the best romantic series.
The storyline is so magnetic. It keeps you hooked.
All those moments in the show are so beautifully performed by actors and such a marvelously directed show.
This show will definitely make you think about life. And I can assure one thing. Every time you will watch, you would come up with a new question in your mind waiting to be answered.

I recently watched "The Revenant", another Man vs. Nature film also set in the 1820s. If that film and "In The Heart Of The Sea" have showed me anything it's that I'm thrilled that I didn't have to live during that period of time. Both films do a very good job of highlighting Man's helplessness against the world without his tools. I think the same thing holds true today, it's just that it would take a bit longer for Nature to win in the 2010s. But make no mistake, she'd win.

"In The Heart Of The Sea" was not what I expected, which was a story about amazing heroism and bravery. Instead, this morphed into a tale of survival, complete with some disgusting do-it-or-die actions by the crew of the Essex.

This was a letdown from a visual perspective. All of the scenes just screamed CGI. And casting Chris Hemsworth and Cillian Murphy as the main characters felt entirely wrong.

An admission here...I've never read "Moby Dick" so I have no idea how closely this movie follows the book. I was continually surprised by where the film went, though. The tone got very desperate and downright depressing. The impression I had was that this would be a breathless, sea mist in the face, hearty tale of a battle against a mighty beast. That's not how it went at all.
