Doesn't respect the history, and i believe that the american audience will think everything in the show did really happen, i doubt this show will succeed in Europe because it ends up insulting the people.
Best Walking Dead Episode Ever!
I've had an amazing experience watching the movie premiere in Venice, I've been waiting for this movie for a long time and I was not disappointed in the slightest.
It's a gorgeous movie, it's disturbing but moving at the same time, violent at times, but also subtle. It's a different and fresh spin on the character and on the cinecomic genre as a whole and Phoenix delivers an amazing performance portraying a version of the Joker we've never seen before, he's not the villain of someone else's story, he is the hero and villain of HIS own story, and the audience can be orrified by him, but we can't help but feel for him at times.
Without giving anything away I would recommend to go and see the movie not expecting to go and see an action packed, but gritty cinecomic, I suggest going in and watch it pretending that it's not even about a famous comic villain, but simply a movie, I think that people will appreciate it more in that way, not comparing it to the cinecomics we've seen before, but thinking of it as a normal movie.
P.S.: People will of course compare Phoenix to Ledger, I don't think it's possible, they give a totally different percormance because they portray totally different versions of the character, and I think it's going to be hard to compare them, you either prefere Ledger's version or Phoenix's but only based on the character, the actor's performances cannot be judged by comparison, they're both great. Just enjoy the movie
I really liked the dance :)
Walking out of Warcraft, the overriding feeling is one of a missed opportunity - this is by no means a disaster and there is plenty of potential here. The scope of the film is impressive and it's clear there is a lot of world-building going on here for future sequels. Part of the problem, however, is there is simply too much plot going on with not enough time devoted to a central thread - the director's admission that some 40 minutes have been cut is not surprising. This is a film that has ambition to be an epic, with many threads introduced to carry over to potential future films and glimpses of many different settings in this new world, but consequently there is a rushed feel to the central plot of this film with not enough time devoted to developing the relationships and motivations of the central characters, Thus plot developments and twists whilst potentially interesting do not have the emotional impact desired making it difficult to really care about what happens. It is a shame because what there is here works surprisingly well - Jones' ambition is to ensure the audience is invested in both sides of the conflict rather than the obvious human side. Perhaps there may well be a future director's cut that restores some much needed character work and slows down the pace a little.
Un clásico del terror que personalmente no me puedo tomar enserio debido a tanta parodia vista, es una pelicula de TERROR en mayusculas, con la categoria de "pelicula maldita" debido a los acotencimientos ocurridos durante su rodaje.
Eso si oir la musica inmediatamente tu mente se traslada a la pelicula es su gran sello de identidad
Absolutely brilliant! I wasn't expecting nothing like this! Mary and Max is one of the best, and now, one my favorite animated films. Really, it's hard to even say how great this film is!
Just because it is an animated film, don't expect it to be a film for children because it's definitely not. It tells the story about Mary a 8 year old girl who lives in Australia and her pen pal Max a 40 year old man who lives in New York. Both are sad and lonely people. By writing to one another they follow each other advices to try to survive to the cruel world that is constantly laying their confidence down.
This movie can be very depressing at times, showing us how painful life can be to the ones that are not accepted by society just because they have something different from most of the people. It also has very funny parts that balance the heaviness that the story might have.
The animation is very well done, the colors used, the set design, the soundtrack, everything combined and even the littlest detail were absolutely perfect. What also helped to create this unique and beautiful friendship tale were the voices of Philip Seymour Hoffman, Toni Collette and the wonderful narration of Barry Humphries.
Mary and Max is an absolutely beautiful and honest story that will break your heart but will also put a smile on your face. I loved it.
Perfect episode! We get to see that Christians could be just as savage as the Vikings. I wonder what was the real reason for King Ecbert to spare Judith from an unavoidable punishment and appease Aethelwulf. Does he really think of Athlestan as a 'deeply spiritual' man? I mean, Athlestan did mention (in front of him) that he had two faiths. Maybe the king wants to use Athlestan as an ally in the future, but little does he know that... well.
Ragnar and Lagertha are grandparents, time really does fly! It was a nice gesture from Bjorn to name the little one Siggy.
It's such a pity that Athlestan will never see his own son, but at the same time it was fascinating to watch Floki being pushed over the edge by his raw emotions. He really is loyal to his Gods above all else. The ending was great too, I can only guess that Ragnar has gone completely mad (his people will not be pleased if they see him carrying a crucifix), but we'll see.
That is a real shame. I thought this show had some real potential. Now we never get to see how they get rid of the V.
Oh hello there Mr. Shakycam - I hate you.
Experiment, some people are the guards and the other are prisioners, only 6 days and they must shutdown because of brutality. Some people with power are dangerous. Based in a experiment
Nice, sweet family movie. I don't know why everyone is ranting about it.
The entire time I watched this episode, all I could think about was how is this guy still alive with all the stupid things he does?
There I am, engrossed for nearly an hour in one of the strangest stories I've been told in a while, and THEN I see the open credits appear. That it came at a point in the story where the 'weird' turned up 'extra', I must admit, my jaw dropped for a moment. If for no other reason, I can say, I did not expect that.
For a first episode, this does very little in terms of telling us more than Prairie... my bad, The OA, is... well what is she? I don't think any of us could guess from this first episode. The basic premise as it stands is: Blind girl disappears. Girl reappears with sight. She's tapped into something we can't see, but maybe some people can 'feel'.
The way the narrative is built, the way it engages you in a subtle way... yes, let's watch on and see where this goes, but as of this writing, I cannot guess as to what is happening.
This show is oddly creepy, but at the same time, inspiring.... I'd invoke 'Twin Peaks' but maybe it's too soon for that.
This is a review of the first episode only.
At first it looks like any kind of psychological thrillers. A blind woman goes missing, returns after 7 years with her eyesight restored. You can say nothing is special about that, we've seen plenty of shows with a similar plot. You're then after presented with a set of characters that are each different in character, but they are all tied up by diversity, and their uprisal from society, and in their personal changing, like crossing a line, "from childhood to adulthood". I will say their presentation came out a little flat, but I do have hope for more expanding. All we know after this episode is just the basics.
The episode then leads up to a specific moment, that I will not explain to avoid spoilers, but throws the near-end of the show into a kind of "journey" that I personally found very inspiring, and it's almost like a sort of poetry, the music, the colors, the words, all tied up perfectly.
Sounds and seems like a lot, but in reality I can't say I'm left with high expectations to this show really, might sound negative, but I think it's actually quite perfect. This is a show you need to enjoy lightly and spend time thinking of the meaning of things while you watch it.
I can't recall feeling so emotional in the first episode of a tv show, it was so ethereal.
THE FUCKING CINEMATOGRAPHY TOWARDS THE END HOLY SHIT NUGGETS
Do you remember when you were a tiny child, back before you learnt that poo stank? That scent is what Swedish shocker Gräns / Border smells like.
A unique looking customs officer literally sniffs out the sins of the passengers that pass her. Then, one day she meets a mysterious stranger that shares her same secrets, both visible and hidden.
Everything about this film will make you feel like you're in the wrong zoo, looking at animals you don't recognise and wondering if you like the experience or not.
I can't promise you'll appreciate Border (winner of Un Certain Regard at the 2018 Cannes festival) , as I'm not even sure I did. I feel confident saying, however, that you won't see anything else like it again this year.
Wasn't expecting this show to pull off a satisfying ending in the space of an episode but it did it.
Loved the reveal of that final loop and how they both realised what they needed to do. Also glad that they didn't take this in a romantic direction/conclusion. Yes the slept together once but it was just sex.
The latter section of the episode, with Alan and Nadia both resisting the help of the other. It reminds me of those intense friendships where there might be times when one pushes the other away. But they persist coz even though there is a bump now, you both know you're better with the other person in your life. If anything that's the message we should take away from this. If someone truly gives a shit, let them in. Coz it's rarer than you think...
I did not expect to be emotionally blown away but here I am watching the credits, speechless. A truly human story. This film is gorgeous. One of the best looking movies I've seen all year. Alfonso Cuarón is a master behind the camera. Yalitza Aparicio does an amazing job, very impressive for her first role. This is a must watch. If you really immerse yourself, you will be in for a treat.
It’s not immediately clear what it’s building towards.
But if you stick with it, you’ll find yourself watching one of the best films of the year.
What a fantastic season opener. Giving us enough information, but still leaving us hanging with multiple questions. This is gonna be a good show
One of the most moving pieces of tv I've ever watched. At the end of the episode you are totally involved.
Terrific road trip and recap of William's life with GREAT MUSIC!!! It's really a perfect episode for February - Black History Month. This one's a 10
I'm a wreck right now
This was, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the greatest episodes of television I've ever seen. The show in general is amazing, but this episode was just UNREAL. Sterling K. Brown and Ron Cephas Jones were simply breathtaking. WOW.
Don't think I've ever been so emotionally affected by a show before, so sad to see William go.
