The so-called pro hacker joins an IRC chat on an MS DOS CMD prompt with his phone :rofl:. Quite lame. Didn't they get any consulting on the matter? They should have had a look at Mr. Robot. They're shell gibberish that came along quite often seemed plausible, at least to some extent.
want to like it but it's slow. real lack of development of story. long scenes of nothing happening.
I just watched the first episode. I didn't understnd anything about this. I don't know where thay are, what they are doing, why they are doing whatver they're doing. i was just lost. I know this is based on a book ( Ihaven't read and I won't read it). I expected to understand the show without being part of the book fandom.
Intriguing world and premise, but the terrible pacing and uneven quality destroys a promising show.
Characters are fairly one dimensional, especially their introductions are lacking. The plot moves at the speed of a bullet train launched into space, which especially hurts the world building and character development. It also causes the themes to be hardly explored, and side plots to feel trivial. CGI and cinematography are a mixed bag, ranging from nice to terrible (especially the color filter is often hideous), The acting is ok in general, but dialogue can be uneven.
About halfway into the 1st season, the show stabilizes somewhat, but it never recovers from the problematic opening, making any investment in the characters and world shallow at best.
It is a waste because the world seems highly interesting, and I have to assume it deserves much better than this uninspired work.
A waste of 2 hours. Couldn't care less about the characters. Just wanted them all to die so it would be over.
What a waste of good actors (and of my time). Although a quite good idea the execution is simply boring.
I saw the best review: “No country for Spider-Man”. That’s it. It was good but not spectacular despite the brilliant cast.
I mean... Sort of wasted my time here but a bitch’s gotta watch at least some 2020 releases.. no, seriously, the performances are pretty good, but that’s about it. boring story with nothing but absolute misery.
It’s an okay movie. Great cast, but that’s it.
Giuliani was great during the 70s/80s/90s. Did a lot of great things but now he is exactly what he said he would not be in this episode. A wise guy for the biggest mob boss in American history...Trump. What a fucking tool. Talking about the reasons why he went after the mob only to end up doing the exact things he said he was fighting against. What a hypocrite...
Listen to other reviewers. Waste of time movie. Terrible acting. Your typical Netflix crappy movie. If you have nothing to do & are bored, I would recommend painting a wall & watch it dry. You’ll get more enjoyment out of it.
I'm supposed to watch this for 148 minutes? No chance.
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.
I wish Netflix would stop fucking around an order a 12 episode season.
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.
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.
An outlandish Floridian "crime-fairy tale" that rewards you for every minute spent watching
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.
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.
