This show is like a slutty awful version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Compared to this the movie is an Oscar winner. i never had a tv show that made me feel so sick, it was cliche after cliche, super bad acting, bad effects, bad casting, bad characters, bad script, bad costumes. I was really looking forward for this show since i kinda enjoyed the movie and i liked the story of the books but this is just down awful.
Personally I don't quite understand the bad reviews this movie has. Yes, it's a very long movie, which they probably could shorten a lot to tell the same story, but still it's a good one. The scenery was great, the acting and music was good (imo) and I thought it was a good story too. Kept me seated the whole 2,5 hours.
a episode isnt bad because a character died, fu*k people who is downvoting here and IMBD because of Lexa's death, it was vital to move the plot foward, there was no other way and Lincoln died, yes, but we dont know the repercusions is going to have
also characthers die all the time in shows like this, get over it its FICTION, chill and enjoy the plot please.
edit: WTF with people harassing writers and producers of the show? the fanbase is disgusting
It's funny how all these romance movies are exactly the same and yet we still keep watching them. The truth is, we all know what is going to happen before we even watch the movie. But we still watch and still somewhat enjoy them even though they're overly cheesy and predictable. My biggest take away: I want to go to New Zealand!
You have to go in expecting it to be a bit silly and it doesnt have the most talented editor but if you can get past that then you'll find fucking salvation!!! Imagine supernatural if it wasnt a homophobic, misogynistic, racist fuck up of a show. With actually funny as hell lines and great actors!! watch this, its really worth it!
Why its always the teenager that get powers? Why not 40-something mother of five?
coven has been the worst of the bunch for me. im waiting to finish freak show to see if that still stands.
Twilight becomes both much more funny and much more bearable when you are familiar with the genre and take it as the film equivalent of a shōjo manga or otome game, including all the same tropes. Under these criteria, it's actually a pretty fun movie.
Hot Take: If you can tolerate James Bond movies but this one somehow makes you feel weird, perhaps it's because you're more used to or more comfortable with male fantasies of sexual desirability. Either way, I used to hate Twilight because I felt superior to all the stupid girls who liked it. Now I just accept it for what it is: wish-fulfilment. Sure, Edward would be a creepy stalker and borderline abusive if not for story mechanics that tell us he can be trusted because he's a good guy, but that's the beauty of fiction: in real life there's no such thing as "good guys" and "bad guys," but in stories, there is. Similarly, James Bond would be a serial sexual harasser if not for the fact that all the women he encounters are super into him, but again, that's the beauty of fiction: they always are, and we know it's okay for him to be a dick sometimes because he is, you guessed it, a good guy. And yes, there's some weird puritan ideology here about the dangers of male sexuality, but that's still a hundred times better than for instance the subtext of Bram Stoker's Dracula (which, funnily enough, is about the dangers of female sexuality).
So, once more for the people in the back: Twilight is silly, implausible, and often ridiculous. And that's absolutely okay.
That being said, things I like about this film: the great way in which it captures teenage awkwardness (which I find hilarious and at this point have to believe is intentional); the fact that Bella just accepts he's a vampire because it's the most logical conclusion, and there's no drawn out "I can't believe this guy stopped a car with his bare hands, I'm going to tell everyone about it - oh no, no one believes me!"; the quotability of so much of the dialogue (coming close to the SW prequel trilogy in that department); the absolute dead-pan way in which everyone delivers their lines ("It's like diamonds. You're beautiful." - "Beautiful. This is the skin of a killer, Bella."); The way literally no one looks like they want to be there; the fact that Bella does not seem to be able to fully close her mouth; the implication that vegetarians are "never fully satisfied"; Seemingly endless scenes of piggyback rides (now I finally know why they never actually show how The Flash carries people - it just looks so fucking weird); the shot of Bella's father rolling his friend in the wheelchair right in front of the stairs leading up to his house, followed by a cut so that it's never explained how he actually got inside; the fact that Bella just seems absolutely chill with everything ("I don't sleep." - "Never?" - "No, never." - "Okay.").
Things I don't like about this film: how everyone takes it so goddamned seriously. Oh, and that there is absolutely no instance of "What are you?" - "A waitress."
I like to think of myself as having cognitive functions that generally work okay, but I have to admit that I've been thoroughly stumped by the relative chronology of these last three episodes. Did the two Holiday episodes exist in an alternate universe? Did they time skip ahead? If so, why did the time skip back for this episode? Were the Holiday episodes, in fact, a dream? I know Good Trouble has been doing funky things with chronology since the very beginning, but that's generally been within the confines of single episodes. Someone please explain this thing to me, because apparently I'm too dense to grok what's happened here.
If you're about to begin with Pretty Little Liars, let me tell you something:
You will love it on seasons 1 & 2 because of the unpredictable shocks and enormous suspense
You will hate it (but secretly you will love it) on seasons 3 & 4 because of the levels of delicious stupidity that the show reaches, but when you reach this point you are going to patiently wait for another episode because you desperately want to know what happens, even that you know that you will not get any answers until the finales.
This is how you make a good trashy tv show!
One of my favorites!
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.
The movie is way too unrealistic. No one plugs in a USB cable on the first try.
Orange Is The New Black is really a good show, and much different compared to other shows which are currently high rated.
The writers don't need that long to build up the characters. This is what I don't like at the beginning of many shows, because most of the time this is the boring part - until the whole story starts to develop. In Orange Is The New Black you got kicked in right from the start.
The actors are really good . All of them. And well written; and I got to admit that my favorite character is "Red". Not just because Kate Mulgrew played Captain Kathrin Janeway in Star Trek: Voyager, but because the character is build up so strong, and she's got so many facets.
You also get to know her in more backflashes (that explains how the people got into the prison). Some TV shows are using backflashes as well to explain some things, and usually I find that annoying, because it is a hard cut in the current plot; but the director in Orange Is The New Black is doing that so well, that it doesn't me bother at all - just the opposite: I want to know why the women got in there.
After watching the first three episodes I wrote that the show shouldn't be drama. It should be a comedy show. That is not true, after I watched the other episodes. Yes, there are funny scenes in it, but it defiantly got the strong drama parts as well.
I highly recommend to give this show a try, because you might wanna love it!
Everyone is missing the most important part of the movie.. That haircut.. W-H-Y?!
If Stephen King and Steven Spielberg had a baby, this is EXACTLY what it would look it.
2 hours is too long for this movie...
I don't think either the Demagorg or Eleven are dead, I guess El and the thing just got to the Upside Down and then she closed the portal somehow. The slugs inside Will are probably going to be the key to find a way in, the next season. Hopper sure knows something more than us, first the encounter with the government guys outside the hospital and then the food in the middle of nowhere.
Gina Rodriguez ("Awake", "Miss Bala") shows some surprising comedic chops as a once promising writer, who chased after a relationship that didn't work out, only to return home to her old gig and find that her besties have kind of moved on without her, one now being her supervisor, and the stuck up rich girl they used to make fun of now runs the newspaper where she works. Rather than simply continuing where she left off, she finds she was a pity hire, and is stuck in a LITERAL closet to pen obituaries for obscure people who have shed their mortal coils.
Hilarity ensues when she meets a friendly old man while she is drowning her sorrows, only to find him in her flat the next morning, where she discovers she is pretty much channeling "Cole" from "The Sixth Sense", until she figures out what they need from each other, and pens the appropriate commentary on their life and passing. In the interim, she ends up discovering just as much about herself, and learns there may be more to herself, her workmates and others than her first impressions.
Pilot episode had some laugh out loud moments, and, I look forward to seeing if they can keep this fresh and interesting throughout the season.
I watched this movie, because the plot seemed to be good. Young kinds breaking into homes of celebrities, getting some stuff and party out there for a little bit. "Why not?" - was my thought. A plot I have never seen... That might be interesting.
A shit.
I had to use the "fast forward" key, because many of the scenes repeated and were really boring. Boring ... boring ... boring ...
All of the cast reminded me in some way of a bad version of the Skins UK characters. With "bad" I mean, that their play is much more worse than in the great Skins - TV Show. In Skins, those young adults, are far more realistic, that those guys in that movie. What a shame.
The only fun thing in this movie (for me) was, as they broke in into the house of Paris Hilton. She is one of the celebrities I don't like at all ... so all this ugly things what the guys found ... this was realistic to me ... hahaha!
And at the beginning of the movie, there was the hint that this movie is based on true events. I am curious what was really true in this movie.
4/10
The very end is a little disappointing. Nancy didn't wind up with who wanted her with. While the kids got over 11's sacrifice a little too quickly.
The show is like a book I couldn't put down. But I think the end could have been better. Hopefully there's a season 2 to give answers about what we were left with.
11 some how communicating with Mike is what I expected but
instead we got left with it being teased that I guess Will has monster slugs in him. Which could have even taken over his body.
That was haunting and creepy. So hopefully we do get some answers and maybe even 11 brought back some how. Either way if Mike wasn't going to wind up with 11.
Nancy not with Jonathan in the end was pretty annoying. "Oh cool, she got me another camera, I will just be alone taking pictures of stuff."
