USA USA. No thanks. Removing from sickbeard. Only wish I could delete the memory of this show from my head.
Over cheesy lines
Bad accents
Terrible stock footage
Cliche
Usa rammed down my throat
Religion rammed down my throat
The episode turned out better than expected tbh, but all in all there's still so much wasted potential.
I can't believe they just killed the Antichrist by traveling back in time and running him over with a car. It's just so cheap.
I also don't really understand how the two kids with extraordinary genes from the first episodes managed to birth the next Antichrist and what even made them special in the first place (I saw theories they might be the alien children from Asylum but I doubt the writers even thought that far), what the point of Coco's power was, why Mallory was the most important character but was so bland and had no real development or why we even had a whole Murder House sequel episode when it's all undone again now anyway. Just to throw some unsatisfying things out there. Though the most unsatisfying thing has to be the Antichrist - How can anyone take him seriously after we know he's basically just a 6 year old who feels abandoned by mommy and daddy?
The plot is not good; it's cheap and uses very offensive stereotypes, but is some of the best military porn I have ever seen.
I can say straight up this will not be a movie for everyone, but it really clicked for me. I would also say a blind watch is preferable in movies like this, I went in knowing almost nothing and if possible I think that's the way to watch the movie if possible.
For me it was incredibly immersive once established, with incredible sound design and score. The slow build of tension, unease and dread as things unfold. I'll admit, I've always been a fan of mediums that give the viewer the same amount of knowledge of whats going on as the characters have, and this nails that.
The premise has a whole has been done many times before, including this years Knock at the Cabin, but I've not seen that or read the book it was based on. But in relation to the other similar films, this takes the top spot for me.
While the ending itself is probably the weakest part of the movie for me personally because it answers just slightly too many questions a little bit too easily, the journey to get there was still worth the time and I think the ending might still work for others.
This is a Netflix series that drew my curiousity for it's interesting premise. It was filmed in Portuguese and I'm assuming those viewers who gave it rave reviews saw it in Portuguese, And those who felt the acting and dialogue were horrible saw it on Netflix, dubbed into English, which is how I first encountered it. And a horrible job of dubbing it was, causing many to abandon the series disappointed. However, I discovered you have the option, in Netflix settings, to choose Portuguese with English subtitles, and, voila, the acting and dialogue issues disappear (except for a few places when Brazilian passion for political speeches overtakes the moment). The pilot is available on YouTube, in Portuguese (no subtitles), so I couldn't start at the beginning of this tale (my Portuguese is non-existent). Netflix doesn't carry the pilot, only seasons 1-3. With the setting corrected, I found the series to be very enjoyable. I give this a 7.5 (really good) out of 10.
Update after Season Three - I have always believed that the weakness of this show was its tendency to melodrama. The last three episodes of this 3rd season fell victim to this, which is why I rated them so low. But it seems it is all set up for a 4th season, so I'm settling into a wait and see position, but I've reduced my rating to a 7 (potential) out of 10. [Dystopian Drama]
<Update after Season 4 - After much loss and sadness they opted for a very optimistic ending, but the contrast made it hard to swallow.
<Altogether, I would recommend this series for it’s unique approach to apocalypse, a talented core cast, and some great writing. I give this series an 8 (well rounded) out of 10.
Natasha Lyonne (Orange is the New Black, American Pie) is trapped in a Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadooloop until she learns to swim, and catches the rhythm of the strokes..... COMPLETELY clichéd, but oddly watchable, if only for the creative ways she keeps managing to off herself, in spite of desperately trying not to.
Social experimentation... Humans like rats in a maze... Evil corporation bent on world domination (maybe)... Mmm, pizza! Me likey!
It is enjoyable to watch the movie, and it moves fast so you won't be bored. It has good laughs and it discusses a good idea at the end so it is not just a waste of time.
Amazing,Unpredictable! Watching it was a roller coaster of emotions,sometimes the movie is a dark comedy , after that a romantic comedy, the next minute a revenge thriller, It's tonal shifts made me laught,cry,angry,fearful,happy and eventually made me think a lot about the ending , i think it's going to be devisive between people.But for me it worked and when i play the movie in my head and what this character has been dealing with in her life i think it fits perfectly.I felt satisfied
The subject matter we're dealing with here is very challenging to adress in a movie and Emerald Fennell(writer and first time director) is not afraid of exposing all the parties involved when something like that happen and how everyone involved could deal with it , she knocked it out of the park.
Carey Mulligan gives what i think migt be the best performance of her career , i really hope she could snag an Oscar nomination
She killed it as Cassandra this young woman with a tragic past who's on a journey of her own trying avenge what happened to her , perfectly casted here and i wouldn't imagine someone else taking that role.
You don't really know how to feel about her like sometimes she's likable and funny , the next minute she goes dark and very serious and frightening , those shift personnalities were well executed! The cast was great too , everyone nailed their part really !
The movie does not answer eveything that happened , there a times you wonder what happened to that guy and what happened to that woman because they don't show you so you make your own image of the events or you trust Cassandra's word's which i very much liked, it leaves you making you own assumption for some parts.
Overall, the movie is well directed , the writing is so strong here and a screenplay oscar nomination is very plausible and it's just very a beautiful movie to watch , the colours the cinematography, the sets, it's like you're in a candy world , the soundtarck is great and the use of music was on point .
This movie is ambitious and important and i don't think it will be forgotten by people , it just needs time to grow .
Never into musicals but I am liking this show. It is fun and different and makes me laugh. The singing is entertaining and sounds good. I hope the ratings increase so that they will keep making it. Probably one the few shows I look forward to anymore.
That Daily Mail "journalist" is utterly despicable and somehow wilfully ignorant of his role. Solid documentary.
I don't know what to say...the matter is pretty serious, sexual abuse is the worst thing and when it's about kids there is not a word bad enough to describe it.. If anything even close to what is narrated is really happened, respect to the woman who grew up, managed to leave all behind her. Point is the while watching this and hear the story they tell, you can't avoid to think that any adult can't be so naive and dumb...period. No excuse. I can believe a kid might be easy to manipulate...but to let a grown up man to sleep with your daughter in her bed...really???? Come on...seriously? Those two are as guilty as the one who took advantage of them all.
The story is so unbelievable that it was hard to pay attention to it...guess i reached a point when it was too much..
If i think about it as fiction, it would be too stupid.
If i think about it as a documentary telling a real story, it just makes you mad to think humans can be so dumb.
Somehow I hadn't seen this until last weekend. I should not have waited this long, because this is a great film. Mia Farrow is great in this, and you really feel like you're in her shoes the whole way. Great cinematography as well. The shots down the hall of people on the phone are wonderful. You fell like the character, trying to peak around the corner and understand what is happening.
So that is all I can talk about without spoilers. Stop now if you haven't seen it.
If I had only seen half of this, I'd have been pretty disappointed. Some of the acting is bad, plot holes are jumping out, the story arc is predictable, etc. And then I get to the end and every single thing leading to this was perfect.
That bad acting was bad acting by the character, not the actor. You realize that everyone around her that is in on the Satanism is faking what they want Rosemary to think. The people not in on this are acting well. Her friends comfort her and seem real because they actually tell her the truth of what they think.
I love the fact that when you're going through it, you're wondering if she is crazy or if this is real. I wasn't sure how it would end, but close to the last scene I thought she'd grab that antichrist and dive out a window. I suppose that is still a possibility, but the film just cuts out beforehand. Instead of deciding for you, it is up to the viewer to predict what side she's on going forward.
I thought I'd give a 4.5 at first, but then the more I thought the more I realized that I really wanted to watch again to learn more about everything. That is absolutely a 5.
Saw this movie yesterday and absolutely loved it. I don't really think it's suitable for small children though, the humor is dark from time to time. Reminded me of Tim Burton's work mixed in with some 'a series of unfortunate events' vibes. Fun, heartwarming and a little dark.
...People had more than they needed. We had no idea what was precious and what wasn't. We threw away things people kill each other for now...
Unexpectedly delightful. Like Clueless meets Veronica Mars.
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Binged in a day.
The trailer massively undersold this show. It's not a crappy rom com. It's a female led story with some great prospects. I'm excited for it to begin.
This is such a heartbreaking story... The healthcare system failed this beautiful family, they completely destroyed them.
This story is unforgettable, it's so haunting. Wow... It left me absolutely speechless...
This is not a documentary about another mysterious disappearance or a crime that raises many questions, but a film showing how great evil can happen for years before it's brought to justice.
Men getting what they deserve, and a happy ending for the lesbians? Couldn't ask for more.
I love this cheesy ridiculously silly movie. It’s like a manic fever dream. There are no transitions, just bam bam bam. I love Ralph and Alejandra, they definitely steal the show. I really hoping this is the beginning of LILO’s redemption.
Don’t go into this expecting a masterpiece - you’ll be miserable. But if you go into this with low expectations and just hope for Christmas fun, you’ll enjoy the journey.
I hope they do a sequel. I hope it’s more cheesy, more ridiculous, and the silliest. The perfect Christmas escape.
Oh boy this is really gonna piss off all the preppy rapists of society, I forecast many downvotes and hate posts.
very well written and very good acting Michael Keaton and Kaitlyn Dever are fantastic all around just a great show about a subject that needed some exposure i never knew so many people got addicted to this drug so easily the company and executives who pushed it should pay dearly
Pretty surprised how much I disliked this thing. Unbelievable plot and some painful acting work. Rated it a 5 because my wife liked it for some reason.
Lesbians let's go!!! Watch it!!!
Finally some great :waving_white_flag::rainbow: representation!
I'm in love with this show :heart:
