I think I loved this one even more than Fury Road. Yes it didn't revolutionised what was done before but it goes way further in the lore of the Mad Max saga and and that's what truly captivated me!
Once again, it's visually stunning, with action unfolding nearly every minute. Although I'm usually not a fan of movies with chapters, here it's executed superbly, which I believe greatly contributes to maintaining the movie's pace.
Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth have both delivered outstanding performances as well.
Edit : I watched it again today, still a rock-solid 9/10!
Dune Part 2 is visually spectacular. The picture is stunning. Ignoring the worn-out tropes, the problem with the film is the lack of emotional attachment to characters. The scope is too big for its runtime which leads to underdeveloped players. The movie is so impressive, yet hollow.
I don't know why I keep watching these spin-offs... I am fed up, but can't stop... is there a Walking Dead Anonymous meeting I can attend?! :person_shrugging_tone1:♂:person_facepalming_tone1:♂
Boring. I have never been less invested in a main character. Ahsoka is a plank of wood.
Only redeeming quality is some visuals.
Another great season for The Bear. Overall, I think I like this a little bit less than the first one, but the Christmas and Richie episodes are absolute fire! This show is so real and intense, I love it.
musical episodes are the worst type of episode and you cannot change my mind
I thought it was a beautifully told if simple story... I’ve been reading critics reviews and am wondering why some people even bother if they’re going to compare everything to GoT, and then complain because the show isn’t a perfect season.
I think it’s as good a first season as anyone can expect from any show that’s not Battlestar Galactica.
The costume design was impeccable, the set design so wonderfully rich, which is impressive considering there is so much grey. Whoever was responsible for the lighting did an amazing job of giving it a complete personality in this narrative.
The performances were a little uneven here and there, but what first season has a perfect possession of every character? None, that’s how many.
All in all it’s a glorious entry, and I love the way The Fae are presented, and as gritty the allegories are with Nazism and the nascent authoritarianism and white nationalism on the loose in the U.S., I appreciate the tone and structure of the politics and how it’s played out from the top down.
I enjoyed this tremendously and am looking forward to more yarn for this story...

Great start, go Sly! Very glad I stumbled across this. Great acting, some gentle and not so humour, a bit of violence, and a few plot twists just in the first episode.
Very nice.
Had no high hopes after the last few seasons of Game of Thrones - but after watching S01E01, I think this is worth giving a chance.
All the important pieces were present in the first episode; good writing, visuals, acting.
The CGI looks cheap, but there's not a lot of it (except dragons of course). Some gory practical effects, those all looked good.
+Update after 4 episodes: The season is only improving so far. Worth following. Actress Milly Alcock as princess Rhaenyra stands out from a an overall good cast.
++Update after 8 episodes: As the story made a time jump a couple of episodes back, half the cast were replaced by "older" versions. I wouldn't have minded the new actors if that were the only change, but the writing also weirdly changed - It does not feel like we are following the same characters. Which makes the whole thing fairly boring, no matter how grand the CG vistas or sets.
I might catch up with the last few episodes at some point, but if anyone is wondering whether or not to get into this - I'd say maybe just skip the whole thing.
First Star Wars with believable dialogues. For any Star Wars fan it's a 15/10.
If you are not a Star Wars fan - just skip it, you'll probably find it boring and slow.
how could a film that bases an entire storyline around a Ratatouille joke not be absolutely fantastic?
Super fun watch.. woulda made a great tv series
Talk about tension filled! Holy crap that was intense!! But then again, it's been an all around intense season. SO. DAMN. GOOD!
I hate that we'll have to wait until next season to get more of this crazy good, insane universe. And some answers to very pressing questions, such as:
1) Where the hell are Raven, Bellamy & Co.? Are they still in space or have they been roaming the earth looking for survivors for a year?
2) Who the hell is Maddie and where did Clarke find her?? Also, she's a nightblood? WHAT'S GOING ON?!
3) What happened to the people in the bunker? Did they make it? Are they trapped with no way out?
4) Not really a question, but... Clarke's red hair is back! And in a much more flattering way than what she was rocking at the beginning of the season!! The short hair really suits her too. It makes her look really mature.
5) Where did the "prisoners" ship come from?? Why are they hunting what little remains of the human race down? Is Jaha behind this?
6) Will season 5 be the season where the Bellarke ship flourishes?
holy shit that was EPIC AS HELL I WANT MORE
Man, I really loved the first season but I have no words to describe this season. It was amazing, fantastic, awesome, amazing, raw, painful, happy, and even more adjectives. Please, Netflix don't let us wait almost 2 years for a new season.
This episode was very good. It makes me wonder if this concept could be achieved minus the eventual murderous robots. We get a bit more backstory on Bernard and his son passing away. I think Bernard's conversation with his wife , could lead to clues as to where Westworld is at (on Earth or another planet). Stubbs is probably considered the stupidest person in-verse but he is the only character who is prepared for the host if they go crazy. There have been theories that The Man in Black is the younger white hat gentlemen but it seems that its debunked due to Dolores breaking out of programmed behavior and meeting up with the duo. Overall it's an interesting series thus far...what do you think?
Lots of potential but too slow paced to hold the attention. I can see why it was already cancelled. Too bad. I'll watch it to the end though. :)
I think the final scene should have been Kurt at the fort with the boot in his hand
This was a backdoor pilot for the show Chicago Justice. The show just got picked up today.
Starts off pretty bad then all of a sudden you've been awake for 20 hours and binge watched the entire thing.
Persevere through those initial few bad episodes and you're in for a right treat.
