Thought it had a wonderful and interesting build up, but was highly dissatisfied with the ending.
As if I needed more reasons to drop this boring show.
Consider this:
You wake up in a room. You are bound together with a guy on a chair, back to back. There is a door and a control panel located at one end of the room, a corrugated plastic sheet on the other. What would you do to escape?
A) Try to shift over to the door, headbutt the console and yell for help in the corridor.
Or
B) Anything else.
Yes, you can't make this shit up.
It is hard to pinpoint what exactly is wrong with the film. Ritchie's kinetic style, the period 60s setting and the design are all suited to the material, the film seems well cast and the tone of the film seems spot-on. Perhaps it hews too close to the Bond formula at times - Cavill almost seems like he is auditioning for the role here - but equally, there is a distinct lack of chemistry between the two leads. Both Hammer and Cavill are convincing on their own, but their scenes together don't seem to work as well as they should and for a film like this that relies on their pairing, not only for this story, but also for possible future instalments, this is a glaring problem.
I give it a full +1 on the rating just because...
Beating a guy to death with a Tonka Truck.
Delete the dinosaur, cause that was just awful.
Didnt like the dinosaur part it was total crap
Season 2 which will consist of 13 episodes will premiere in 2017. It's going to be a long wait.
I am so sick of the 'friend zone'. Kara doesn't wanna screw Winn so now he's in the 'friend zone' aw boo hoo! Almost like she only sees him as a friend right? If a woman whined like that when a man rejected her there would be outrage, but this is okay? It's B.S. There is no such thing as the 'friend zone', you don't get to be mad because a woman would rather be friends with you than sleep with you. Stop using it to turn women into villains for not returning your feelings. That's life. Grow up.
Throughout this entire episode I could feel a real sense of dread building, even when things seem to be going well. This series definitely keeps things tense!
Meh. This episode definitely felt a built rushed and apparently diverted quite a bit from the manga cutting out scenes of Airi and skimping on Yashiro sensei's flashback (I may have to read this last part). While I'm disappointed by Kayo marrying Hiromi (not a complete NTR), their kid was cute so I can't be angry. I'm more concerned with the Airi parts that were cut out and Yashiro's motive. It seems that the anime may be going with a bit more of an anime original ending. I'm hoping that the payoff and final confrontation is better in the final episode as this one was a bit of a let down.
While ERASED finished on a positive note (especially with dat Airi ending!!), I can't help but feel that things were just a bit too predictable and cookie-cutter during the second half of the show. The first half of it was riveting and amazing, but the show really started to lose itself once Kayo's problem got resolved. Overall, it's a solid show and thriller, but it didn't really break any new ground especially with how everything progressed towards Yashiro being the way too obvious "ultimate villain". Also, it might have been a little rushed in the last few episodes and could have probably benefited from a 13th episode to add a little more filler and depth to the final sequences, Yashiro's motives/intentions, and the events post-time-skip.
I'll give the show a solid 7.5/10 or so. Not the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I was entertained. Plus, you can never go wrong with having too many loli characters ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Fuck you Mio!
I loved the scene between Tsubaki and Kousei. She finally took the first step. And just when you thought that the death flags couldn't possibly increase, A-1 stepped up their game once again. RIP Neko-chan.
Some things never change: Kira is still creepy (and getting creepier by the seasons) and Sarah still thinks her hoodie is a cloak of invisibility.
-1 for forcing Kara/James down my throat for the thousandth time. I could have easily given this episode a perfect ten because I loved seeing Supergirl and The Flash working together to save National City. Plus seeing Silver Banshee AND Livewire working together, I was in heaven. That was until Barry had to start shipping them too. Why can't writers realize that a superhero, especially a FEMALE, can still be a hero without having to have a significant other? I honestly hope Kara's kiss kills him that's how much I hate this pairing. Of course it won't and it'll make Kara realize she loves James even more than ever before. GAG ME WITH A SPOON!
That twist is so cringey I just had to stop with this show.
Great episode, loses points for racist imitation of Japanese language (while eating Chinese food).
So, this where I learned that psychedelic cyberpunk experimental film is not for me. Despite two excellent horror sequences (the subway chase scene and the initial scene where the woman tries to comfort the man come to mind) and very sharp stop motion animation, the lack of a clear narrative really pulled this one down for me. The meaningless gore and moralizing anti-sexuality were incredibly off-putting to me, even as a fan, albeit a casual one, of horror and exploitation films. I might be convinced to watch the other films in the series, but this one was, at times, torturous.
Please don't vote before you've seen the episode.
Five, when given the choice, picks the gun that's bigger than she is...
No idea how to fill the pages? Add petty drama.
The blue ranger is a haughty, effeminate ninja with a nasty sense of entitlement, from a proud dynasty, who's been studying at a magic school in England. Draco Malfoy, is that you?
Ah man. Hazuki is such a sweet girl. I feel her sadness and sorrow throughout this one. You'll find your own prince soon enough.
The Ending
was very predictable!!!
I would prefer more battles, less talk and fluff. So, it's disconcerting that they edited out some battles. It's like the show is afraid to be what it is. They should get Grant Imahara (Mythbusters' electro-mechanical engineer) or somebody like that to MC - someone who can take it more seriously and speak intelligently about the technology and tactics.
The things that annoy me in this show are actually the same things I hate in YA books (you can easily tell that series is based on such a book).
Let's take the Anya situation as an example. Clarke and the others are literally fighting for their lives and Anya attacks them and tries to kill them. And then suddenly Clarke yells "Don't! We're not like the Grounders!". And all I can think is what the hell. This is about pure survival! They already killed Grounders and people. And now they have the chance to get rid of one of the leaders and they don't do it? This is "kill or be killed".
In most YA books they would regret this sooner or later because Anya would betray them or stab them in the back. I'm actually curious how the show will handle it - Will Anya actually help them or will she try to kill them again?
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.
I recommend watching Florence Foster Jenkins: A World of Her Own before you see this movie; it basically is a documentary on Florence and just how delusional she was and how the people around her basically took her money by giving her praise. I did enjoy this movie with Streep (and I am not 60+ years old). This movie was good, it stays true to Florence's character since that was just how she was; she's KNOWN to be the world's worst opera singer and the movie delivers in showing that and showing her iconic moment of selling out Carnegie Hall. It's silly and touching at times. If you're in the mood to learn a little bit and have a few laughs, I recommend this movie. If you want to know more about FFJ before seeing this movie, watch the documentary.
Movies like this are the reason I watch movies. The film doesn't promise you anything, and the plot sounds kind of silly. It even starts out a little weak, but it draws you in and doesn't let go, and by the end you don't even care that you just watched a movie that all took place in a small room. Amazing film.
