Although not a bad sci-fi action movie, it shows that the flick is over 20 years old. Especially the animations of the killer robots are very bad and somewhat kill the "sci-fi" setting of the movie... The plot itself is mediocre.
A huge disappointment: weak plot, not very funny and all the singing was just too much for me. There were so much better animations flicks made 2010 (e.g. Shrek For Ever or How To Train Your Dragon).
Had to start watching this sitcom twice because the first time Marshal (Jason Segel) got on my nerves that much that I didn't watch more than the first couple of episodes. Additionally, I'm not sure if Ted is the right choice for the main character...
Otherwise a solid sitcom with a lot of laughs! That there is no laughter track is very welcome, too.
One of the best anti-war movies I know, even though it tends a bit towards cheesiness (e.g. when Captain Miller dies and tells Private Ryan to earn his life).
Not as funny as I remembered from watching it the first time, but with a lot of very cynical and dark humour that one just has to like (-:
Like every Scorsese rather brutal but also very intriguing. A somewhat weak ending: Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) rats on the Paulie and Jimmy (Robert DeNiro).
Except for the ending (where Jimmy doesn't go to jail even though he has committed two murders) this is a great movie! What I don't get is why Eastwood only hints that Sean tries to get Jimmy to jail and why he doesn't end the film with Jimmy's imprisonment (additionally I found Jimmy's wife's statement at the end of the film ridiculous...)
One of the worst and most hyped films I've ever seen. I absolutely don't get what this flick wants to tell me.
Besides that, it is neither thrilling nor entertaining, so I can only hope that there is a message and deeper meaning to it that I just don't get... However, I would recommend to stay away from it if you expect a SciFi thriller because I know for sure that Blade Runner is not thrilling at all.
I thought I couldn't get more disappointed by Indiana Jones after watching the (in my opinion) absolutely hyped "Raiders of the Lost Arc". But then I saw "The Temple of Doom" and it's even worse! I will never get how this franchise got such a huge fan base: a mediocre plot at best, mediocre acting, laughable characters combined with special effects and stunts that let you tear out your hair (at least in the year 2015)! I suggest you skip this crap-fest and watch another one of the 1001 decent action/adventure flicks available!
I don't get the plot of this "classic". The best thing about this movie, for me, is it's soundtrack...
The movie begins interesting, promising a quite intriguing story and it ends in a superb way. However, and this is very unfortunate, every thing in between is mediocre, partly even worse: the plot has holes (e.g. why and how do the rebels know about Brightwood after going underground and turning even their cellphones off, why is Joe the AI professor suddenly leading military troops or why are a few single cores for PINN hooked up to some rag-tag equipment in a desolated building enough to analyze Will's mind?), the story is mostly predictable and the performance of the support cast is poor (especially Max (Paul Bettany) and Bree, but also the wooden and lifeless Joe (Morgan Freeman)). All these weaknesses along with same hilarious assumptions regarding quantum- / super-computers and AI make it sometimes nearly unbearable to continue watching Transcendence.
However, as mentioned in the introduction, the ending is superb and makes up for a lot. As a fan of Nolan's films a have to say I am quite disappointed in his 2014 work: Transcendence is nowhere near Prestige, Insomnia / Memento or the Dark Knight movies and Interstellar is the even bigger disappointment! I really hope that his future work will improve again!!!
What a happy coincident for me that Charlie Sheen (who I cannot stand!) was kicked from the show in the same year that I discovered that Chuck Lorre is a great producer (The Big Bang Theory). Because otherwise I would have missed this show and let me tell you, without Charlie this show is really, really funny!
What the fuck?! There is going to be an 10th season? Are you kidding me?!?! If you are, I am seriously pissed with you, Trakt!
However, should it be true and should season 10 be as brilliant as were seasons 1 through 6 I would be delirious with joy (heck, I would even settle for something as good as seasons 7 and 8)!
Mediocre at best! Why they made Dogget and Reyes take over the X-files instead of bringing back Mulder is just... unbelievable stupid!
Man, is that a bad way to finish one of the best series EVER! At least the last double-episode was quite good.
One of the worst movies I know! I have absolutely no idea how this rubbish can be hailed as a horror classic, because everything about it is so silly: the plot is laughable, the characters and actors a joke, the SFX really, really bad and there isn't a single scary moment because everything is so very predictable! DO NOT WATCH THIS, there are so many good horror flicks out there, but Braindead for sure isn't one of them.
While it's not a bad action / adventure movie, I just don't get why a lot of people think this is one of best movies of this genres! For me it is a mediocre action flick!
What the f**k?! This is a terrible, terrible Japanese trash horror flick: a ridiculous plot, bad acting, terrible characters... To watch this unrealistic and not even funny (B-movie, strike that) movie through, was nearly torture.
I stopped watching the series because the 3rd season got really boring with all those special episodes and what not...
My advice: quit after the 2nd or even the 1st season, otherwise you will be disappointed.
Mediocre 1st season that gets better towards the end. Unfortunately I find all the characters rather weak, they would all get only guest roles in 'Friends' or 'Scrubs'. I therefore quite watching the series altogether and can only recommend better (currently running) sitcoms like Modern Family or Big Bang Theory instead of 30 Rocks.
One of the best Sci-Fi Series I know. The biggest issue for me is its focus on military aspects (however, this is not as bad in the first season as it is in the following ones).
After seeing the 2010 remake of Tron, I had to watch the original (or at least I thought I had to) but it was unbearable for me and i quit after 20 minutes. The special effects were really , REALLY bad (even for 1982 in my opinion) and the dialogs so cheesy that I just cannot understand how this flick got it's cult status...
Crap! Why this Korean flick (originally titled Gwoemul) created such a hype I absolutely do not get. The monster looks mostly ridiculous and the (for me) unbearable way of telling a story including absolutely silly dialogues and situations ruin what little potential this action-shocker could have had...
I think I am not made to get the drift that a lot of Asian movies have when it comes to story telling. Perhaps that's the reason why I do not like The Host, Battle Royale or House of Flying Daggers.
Good action movie with excellent SFX but nothing more (at least that's what I thought after watching it for the fist time).
However after watching it again, I have to say that I begin to like this one more an more!
The movie offers a lot of room for speculation and is sometimes very strange but also very compelling.
One of the best sci-fi thrillers I know, although there are some plot holes (Why does the time machine work as depicted? What's the real reason one can't change the past? ...): After the murder of his fiancé, the college teacher Alex Hartdegen builds a time machine and travels into the future only to discover that man managed to nearly destroy planet Earth and that a part of mankind lives in slavery. He then decides to help free the slaves from the grip of the Molocks and sacrifices his only chance of returning to his time: he destroys his time machine so that the Eloi can escape slavery.
Nice flick! One doesn't realize that Commander Dunne is responsible for the assassination until one is told. I also liked the ending where Rick gets honored for saving the "woman in white" but has to go to prison anyway because of his past as a corrupt police man.
Some of the drifts, stunts, gunfights, etc. are a little too much (-1 ) and the soundtrack is mostly shitty (- a second *) IMHO. Man, think about how great this flick would be with solid rock&roll tracks instead of those mainly annoying bepedy-bop rap and pop sh*!
Watched Dunkirk at a movie theater and was disappointed: without knowing anything about the movie besides that Christopher Nolan has produced it and that it was a WWII movie, I hoped to see something with a brilliant story like "The Dark Knight" or "Memento". That is not the case here, there is not match to be had here storywiese (however, it is accurate historically according to: http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2017/07/20/what_s_fact_and_what_s_fiction_in_dunkirk.html).
From a technical point of view, Dunkirk is a good if not even great flick: good acting, minimalistic but great / creepy soundtrack and bombastic sound effects. You have to be at a cinema to feel those bullets fly, the motors of the Spitfires howl or the torpedo hit in your guts! Wow!!! Additionally it manages to make you really fear for the life of the soldiers from the get go to and there is this certain claustrophobic feeling about it throughout the whole time.
While Dunkirk reminded me again of the cruelty of war and how happy and thankful all of us, who live in western Europe, should be that there is currently now open war raging here, I still found the movie lacking and wished for a much better plot.
Quit after the 2nd season. What was barely tolerable in season 1 got really on my nerve (models instead of actresses, silly costumes to hide the identities of the superheroes, mediocre storylines) as well as the partly boring flashbacks were to much for me to enjoy the show. Going to give Mr. Robot a try now.
I wouldn't say that Season 5 is better than the previous seasons, but since its the last one, I still give it 9 instead of 8 points to honor this exceptional show!
The only bad episode of this season IMHO was Synecdoche, and that is only because of its stupidly patriotic ending! Otherwise there are only good episodes, some of them even brilliant. I also like the ending that J.J. Abrams chose for the show, so much better than the ones from Lost and Fringe! Look very much forward to his next show, Westworld.
