I feel pleased and in high spirits after having seen the movie. It's not a great movie, for the moment I rate it a little lower than The Force Awakens but it is a solid 7/10. It's not going lower. By comparison, I felt absolutely nothing after Episode 8. During "The Rise of Skywalker" I had tears several points in the movie, especially at the end. Overall I feel satisfied.
I really loved the general idea of the movie. The problem is, it's only half baked. They didn't have time. It's unfortunate they lost time developing the arc with the second movie. This happens when you don't plan a trilogy in advance.
Here is how I rate the sequel trilogy
1- The Force Awakens
2- The Rise of Skywalker
3-
4- The Last Jedi
Make no mistake. This is not a great movie. But somehow I enjoyed it. Maybe it's a combination of Dolby Vision + good music. It's just beautiful to look at. I would definitely watch the sequel Ibiza 2: Tokyo!
Of course this movie is a classic and should have won the best picture Oscar. One thing I dislike about this movie is when it jumps into the future. I would have preferred it if it ended in its own period.
This show is terribly edited. Such interesting story and they edit it so badly that it kills it. Just tell the story in order. What's the point of showing the bomber in advance? That kills suspense and sense of discovery.
I am a "film viewer" and I watch and enjoy different and difficult films. This movie is total crap, avoid it!
Was this an actual real episode? It felt like fan service with no substance and too soon. Was Vader playing and making sure that Obi-Wan could appear in the movie Star Wars (1977)?!
One of my pet peeves is when they use hallucination or nightmares. When it's in a way to trick you to think it is real life. It's not clever. Yes, you get shocked for few seconds, but they break everything afterward. Later you don't care if anything happens because you don't know if it's real. And when you realize that it was real, it's too late to feel shocked or anything.
So, when they did that twice in this episode, when the real thing arrived, I didn't care. I remove several stars just because of this.
The rest of the episode was great especially the music.
Loved it. Until now Monica Lewinsky and Linda Tripp were the main roles of the story. In this they are barely in it. So appropriate, they are no longer the stars of their own story, things have gotten out of hand and they can no longer control it.
This was the first bad episode I saw. And it was not just a little bad but very bad, as laughable and bad as an SNL skit. The story is probably good but very badly executed. Everything was so unbelievable. I saw that the director has also directed the next episode, I'm expecting the worst for the finale. Very disappointed.
Spoilers:
Ellie discovering the human parts was so bad. The "jail" is right in front of where they make food and chop people? Also they have "accidentally" left a huge human part behind, and not just any part, an ear so it is recognizable? Give me a break.
Ellie instead of waiting to get out and show her true intentions, hurts the bad guy while she is still locked up?!
Nobody knows that they eat people, yet they put the dead bodies some place where it is easily accessible and people can find them?
The way Ellie treated the people the first time she saw them also illogical. And so many other stuff.
This episode was so painful to watch and not in a good way! The drama over the kids going to live with the grandpa was a non-issue and they played it like a big life and death situation.
First, they are big, close to being adults, they can come and go. It’s not a big deal, they are not going to war.
Second, wouldn’t the parents be happy that they are away from trouble? They can be away in a safe place until they can deal with their current troubles. Nothing made sense in this.
Absolutely amazing. If you have seen all the films, all the series and many documentaries, you still can't believe how good this docu-series is.
There are 2 great things about this series. The music is excellent and the reconstructions are so well acted and done. They do not look like a cheap production. They are so natural that you feel you are watching the real thing. I wish they could have made a theatrical movie with the same actors. Hitler: The Rise of Evil (2003) maybe overlaps but it is in no way this chilling and effective.
Absolutely loved this movie. So charming and it had the magic. I have not seen a rom-com this charming in a long time.
I'm amazed that each time I watch this, I enjoy it immensely. I enjoy it more now than when I was a kid. This movie is timeless. The characters are so iconic that their look is burned in my brain. And great music too.
I enjoyed this more than fast and furious. This felt like a real racing movie.
This was so bad. Just watch the original 1978 with Peter Ustinov. First, Kenneth Branagh is so bad as Poirot. He can't speak just 2 words of French. Don't they have dialect coaches? The Game of Thrones girl was also so bad and fake with her accent. Just embarrassing in 2022 and it takes you right out of the movie. 44 years ago, they actually chose actors who could speak the parts they were supposed to play.
The movie is also bad on other levels. You get no character development outside the main 3. In the original you knew all the other characters. There is no fun, no humor, no tension. Not that the original is a comedy but it has a magical combination of humor and seriousness.
This season is getting worse and worse.
I think one of the best part of this episode was when Nate revealed he kissed her and nobody cared. I think that tipped him over.
Overall this season was a let down. I think they should go back again and see why season 1 was so successful. Or maybe you can't make an after story. The story ended with season 1. You can't make E.T. 2.
This was funny as hell. I loved the monkey business. Best episode so far for me. I love the idiocy of Steve Carell's character against the scientists.
This was so funny that even the 2 line summary of the episode makes me laugh.
Summary: With his beloved satellite severely hobbled, General Naird must decide between a well-reasoned scientific solution and a chimp-led rescue operation.
This movie is unbelievably bad.
The problem with this movie is not that it glorifies anyone. The Godfather did that and it's a masterpiece. The problem is that this is a terrible movie. Badly written, badly made. You don't understand anything. Nothing is told correctly. You don't understand the people, the situation, nothing. Not one straightforward story is told. Someone going around killing people is not a gangster movie. You have to understand the situation.
This is the first truly bad episode.
This is definitely not better than the first one. They made several major mistakes. CG characters, CG animation is not scary. They went too far. The first one is as scary and disturbing as the Exorcist. I get easily scared but this movie broke something half way through with that dog thing that it was not scary anymore to me.
This was the best episode of the entire series. Both extremely sad and funny.
Will there be season 5?
I liked this more than the first one because it didn't have Darth Maul and neatly followed and closed the first movie's story.
This episode was absolutely amazing. Makes you think a lot and at the end, I'm not sure who was the "bad guy". But Cory is a manipulative SOB.
It's an OK movie. Nothing extraordinary or magical. It just lacked that sense of wonder. It was straightforward and dry.
Spielberg had so many opportunities to add the stories that he himself has told so many times. For example I remember him saying how shocked he was when as a kid he saw Holocaust survivors with tattoo numbers on their hands. Why not add that in the movie? Why not add the kid seeing and hearing WWII stories from soldiers? Why not add all these small details that later make him the person he is in life? Focusing just on the family drama wasn't that interesting or emotional.
I loved this movie. It's much more than a who done it movie. Although it's not targeted for my age and I don't think it's particularity that special in the making aspect, the message of the movie is so great.
Huge spoiler, ruining the entire movie (read after you have seen the movie):
The idea that everything bad that happened was because they did it to themselves by being rash, prejudging and not thinking was such a great message.
The first episode I really disliked. Normally Michael tries to do the right thing but in a clumsy and bad way. They made him way too cruel and rude in this.
Absolutely amazing episode. The best episode yet. Brought tears to my eyes. It had 2 strong visual moments that I loved.
Spoiler. The Battle Droids dropping down and the look on the warlord combined with the music gave a very sinister feeling. Never thought it's possible to fear the Battle Droids. Later they were back to their comedic routine which was unfortunate.
The Jedi strike was absolutely amazing. You just hear the swoosh of the saber and never see any movements, not even a blurry thing or a ghost movement. Later the warlord realizes what has happened. I want to see that in a movie. The Jedi strike without you seeing anything.
