Operated and so far fetched,as if shit like this would happen in London,do the makers not know how rare gun violence is on the streets of the UK,there's no gangs running about with as many automatic rifles and grenades as this show,maybe in Columbia and mexico,this is EastEnders trying to be narcos!
Deary me. It's a miracle I survived until the end.
'The Wrong Missy' is one of the worst films I have ever seen. I'm usually a glass-half-full type of guy, I always attempt to find the good sides to a film first before identifying the worse parts. With this, there is simply nothing to praise.
Lauren Lapkus is horrifically annoying as Melissa, I have never been so cringed out and/or irritated when watching a character. I do have one solace of minor praise for Lapkus herself though, as she really does commit to the role - arguably too much so. There are moments late on when I see potential for her/Melissa if the script et al. was better.
It's the filmmakers who probably deserve most of the hate for this, though the cast should still be doing more - David Spade in particular. He is very poor in the lead role as Tim, I never felt he was giving 100% here - I'm positive he can do so much more. Elsewhere, not even Sarah Chalke of 'Scrubs' or Geoff Pierson of 'Dexter' could save this. Nick Swardson (Nate) is the only semi-bearable person onscreen, while there's at least a notable celebrity cameo at one point.
Terrible premise with awful dialogue, which relies almost entirely on sex/toilet humour, all alongside some dreadful acting and extremely unfunny comedy. As always with my reviews it is nothing personal, but this is a severely unpleasant film.
An utterly delightful and absurd romp through "an occasionally true" story of Catherine The Great's rise to power. A powerhouse cast, great visual design and acerbic comedic writing all pull together for an entertaining ride that's short enough to not be tiresome.
This is seriously the best thing I've watched in a long time. Sometimes gruesome. Always amazing. It kind of reminded me of "The Princess Bride" meets "The Royals". I binged it and want a LOT more.
I wish Netflix would stop fucking around an order a 12 episode season.
This show is absolutely terrible. 4 episodes out of 6, still cant recommend.
Wow. This is deeply unfunny. When terrible writing happens to great casts... with HBO money... Just astonishingly bad.
my old mom wanted to watch this i told her don't bother if i can barely understand whats going on with the time jumps you wont have a clue whats happening so there we go. If you like putting the pieces together and jigsaws you'll love this.
I can't make to episode 2. It's so boring, full of cliches and shallow characters. Never read the books. Never played the game. Didn't like what i saw. It's kind of pathetic and tacky.
The story and art style definitely seem cool and interesting, but the long, dull, uninspired battle scenes drag on too much, and the sound effects just don’t make sense. Swords whooshing sound like transformers, and it’s all so exagerated, it’s off-putting. Don’t waste your time, this show isn’t worth it.
Everything what Marc wrote and more. I've seen better written SciFi on You-tube short stories... This was such a aggravating waste of a good concept, and could of been so much better without all the unrealistic and sometimes over kill drama. Whats with the music over kill on every scene. OMG! I thought I was at a Star Wars concert.... Sorry but I tried to give it a shot. Maybe you'll like it but I'm done.
Castle Rock strarts off well, setting up multiple intriguing mysteries, but in the end delivers almost no payoff. Not a good start to an anthology series. If you have not watched this, I would skip it. There is one excellent episode (The Queen), but overall it is very frustrating to go through multiple glacially paced episodes that are setting up more and more questions, only to arrive at an end that answers none of them. And it makes the main character seem like a complete douche. I know they were going for an ambiguous ending and it would have been better executed if they had left 1-2 of the bigger mysteries with no clear answer, instead of leaving all the mysteries unresolved (with a couple of vague suggestions). I will not be returning for S2.
I gave the first season 8, second season, 3 eps so far, barely a 6.
It's okay but there are so many mistakes in the storyline, so much stuff that does not make sense at all that it sometimes hurts to watch. The cinematography is on a really high level - indeed. However, the inconsequence this storyline was written with is disturbing and makes this whole thing a bit of a painful experience. I quite skipped trough it to at least get an overview where this is going.
Maybe they should have done a deep dive how cultures would really develop under these given circumstances. I find it hard to believe that all those people do not know absolutely anything just because there was a virus. And given the fact, that there is no further explanation I bet Apple itself does not have an explanation how this scenario makes any sense.
The only reason I can see why people would give this series a good rating is because of the cinematography, the cast and because it was done by Apple. Because besides those superficial reasons, there is nothing really that justifies a good rating.
The definition of a movie that’s competent but devoid of anything interesting.
3.5/10
An outlandish Floridian "crime-fairy tale" that rewards you for every minute spent watching
Nothing made sense, the characters were all boring, the dialogue sounded like it was written by an eighth grader, there's no real sense of danger or importance to any actions, the kindest way to describe the plot is that it was a poorly constructed rip-off of Star Wars: A New Hope, and there were way too many macguffins. The special effects looked neat but that doesn't make a good story. And the romance? There was more chemistry between Hester and the cyborg than her alleged love interest. Just... just awful.
LIKE TRAIN TO BUSAN BEFORE THERE WERE TRAINS.
The movie kinda walked past me. With a line-up like Redford, Spacek, Glover and Waits I expected a lot more than this repetitive movie that from start to finish just rolls along and never really peaks anywhere. The real story provides much more starting points to make this a more interesting movie.
For the reason that this might be Redford's last movie I probably could make a recommendation but for the movie alone I am not sure I would.
This movie moved at the speed of maple syrup on the coldest day of the year.... I fell asleep numerous times throughout the movie and still kept up with the story. The best part wazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I think this is an important movie, it is also a good movie. Full disclosure: I am a white, middle class, post-graduate educated, Canadian, born in the 50s. This is why this movie was important to me: I live in a city that has unjustly treated black communities and, although I have sought to be better informed about the history and the issues, my perspective has been from a distance. This film helped me understand that the expectational presets of being black are radically different from the presets of being white. Also, my understanding of cultural appropriation grew - I can see why whites emulating black culture is missing the point rather than establishing cultural bridges. But, most importantly, for me, this film underlined the importance of each of us being authentic to who we are and to, humbly, engage in listening conversations, respect our differences and transcend that which divides us. That's was my take away. This is why this is a good film: I found the characters well drawn and the performances convincing (Amandla Stenberg is an actor to watch - she has been a credit to every role she's inhabited). The story was well crafted. The tragedy real and the relationships compelling. In our politically charged culture, there is an audience fatigue for movies with a point (I was disappointed to be only one of three people who came to watch this movie in the theatre), but don't miss this good movie, it's worth the watch. I give this film a 7.9 (very good) out of 10. [Drama]
Pimps hoes drugs jive talkin n tittays tunes n rides..goddamn I love the 70's
Watching this in a totally white audience was an experience. The little titters and nudges when 'make america great again' was mentioned, or about police officers shooting unarmed black people, or even one becoming president; to the we won mentality at the final phone call.
Then the deathly silence with the current footage being shown. I think quite a few people realised it's not just references.
These people still exist today.
They still have their rallies.
They still have their marches.
They still murder in uniform.
And they still hold these abhorrent views.
I think I even heard some people sniff away some tears right at the end once they saw the footage and heard the words of people who were there.
Enjoy the film; enjoy the jokes (it is a funny film) but make no doubt the characters shown still exist.
BlacKkKlansman is an undercover film, because beneath its brilliant sheet of light-hearted biopic lurks a dark satire of racism, all lives matter and Trumpism. It will sneak up on you with its dated 70's feel and then grab you with its arresting pertinence to contemporary issues. Watch this film or be doomed to repeat it.
BlacKkKlansman is so good that I forgot it was a Spike Lee film. More seriously, it even outshines 2006's Inside Man and the closing newsreel sequence literally had me sobbing in the cinema (my over-the-top emotional responses are just one of the many reasons I always sit in the front row). Not only one of the best films of the year, this is clearly the most important film of the year.
This TV show just seems to be about people meandering around acting miserable and awkward.
The world is meant to be a weird reflection on reality. But it has some ideas that were so goofball that I had to stop for a few moments to comprehend what was supposed to be happening on-screen. Like "Ad Buddy", which in this story is a way to pay for a service by having a real physical actor approach you and just read advertisements out to you one-on-one. The world-building (which seems to be the main focus of the first couple of episodes) is extremely shallow. The world really makes zero sense.
I like to imagine this show is going somewhere but I'm already bored and I've checked out.
I should know better, every REAL original sucks. maybe in the beginning of netflix there were good ones. Still I sometimes have hope, and it got always smashed. And please netflix make a difference between originals, real ones, and exclusives. The good shows aren't originals though :-D
what a waste of my bloody time.
