My name is Barry Allen, and I am the dumbest Man Alive. To the Earth-2 people I am an ordinary speedster, but secretly with the help of Dr Wells I gave my speed to Zoom and became a normal guy. I hunted down the man who killed Jay Garrick, but in doing so, he took Caitlin as a prisoner and my speed was gone. And I am the only one dumb Enough to do it. I am the Dumb
This is mostly stuck in second gear for the entire runtime, it’s very bland and poorly directed. Interestingly, despite having a different director at the helm a lot of the problems from X-Men Apocalypse carry over. There’s once again visible cheapness in the costumes and make-up, Lawrence phones it in, Sophie Turner can’t pull off what she’s asked to do and the story feels muddled. The new elements it adds on top of that don’t really work either, for example Jessica Chastain gives the most lifeless performance of her career as the villain of this film. Generally, it just looks and feels like a cheap tv show, Kinberg clearly wasn’t ready for this. Due to it’s smaller scale it never becomes as schlocky as the worst moments in Apocalypse, X-Men Origins Wolverine or The Last Stand, but this movie feels unambitious next to all of those films. I’d be fine with the approach if it had genuine good writing and interesting direction, but what’s being served here is not cerebral, emotional or exciting.
3.5/10
Barry was confused. So confused with Laurel's death that he forgot he lost his speed in The Flash's episode. It could also be due to the CW breaks. Barry is confused because of those breaks that I kinda get it
I guess he was not a fast thinker.
Objectively this show is not good. Bad writing, plotholes and such but I just love every second of it.
And now with that ending I very much look forward to next season.
It was extremely beautiful. The acting and scene were just breath-taking. The story, though, not so much. Unfortunately predictable from the first moment, it was rather disappointing. Very artistic experience, though!
Episode 11x22, "She's Leaving Home," stands out as the longest episode in the show's history, spanning two hours without being split into separate episodes. However, in some countries, it aired as two separate episodes, labeled as 11x22 and 11x23. Subsequently, what aired as 11x23 was then recognized as the 11x24 episode, and what aired as 11x24 became the 11x25 episode. Yet, in the USA, the series maintains 24 episodes in total.
Didn't like this at all. Felt bored through most of it. Nothing scary apart from the odd jump moment. Plot was so predictable and dull.
Gets into the heart and soul of what it means to be an actor in Star Trek. Shatner had fantastic talks with each of the captains, and talked about how the role affected them. I particularly loved the conversation he had with Patrick Stewart.
Why did I go and watch this? I went hoping it was not as bad as most people thought it was. Unfortunately, it was as bad. I came away from the cinema feeling very cheated. I found it all a confusing jumble of unfinished scenes, with characters I really didn't care about and with an ending that was laughable. It gets 4/10 and that was purely for Harley, who had the best lines and made me not walk out of the cinema... which, I came close to doing on several occasions. Don't waste too much of your money on this, they have made their money back and that's what the trick was I guess... nice one. I fell for it.
worst episode of The Flash brought to you by extra cheesiness and the writing of a 13 year old.
Really good film, certainly Bays best ever (not hard). Wahlberg replays his 3 kings character in a NBK meets the big lebwoski, very funny.
I have little patience with movies where the perspective is a 'camera' held by one of the actors. This one is no exception...did NOT work for me at all. Slow paced and stupid. Would have made a decent short film if they had used real cameras...
Outstanding animation let down by the most generic of plot lines. A replaced Wesker and 5 minutes spent on a boring revenge story couldn't even be saved by fantastic battle sequences. A waste of potential.
Even less scary than the first one. Liked the nod to The Shining and how closely the older actors resembled the kids from movie one, but the whole ritual stuff was so dumb and felt so disconnected.
Coming back from Daredevil to this... Jesus this is terrible writing and acting.
What is this B grade rubbish. The cover art is the best part of this entire movie.

Should have stayed short if anything. They tryhard at tryharding. It's so over the top it's just boring and Axe Cop is already doing the same thing anyways. You might enjoy this if you have nostalgia goggles glued to your face and are okey with just 30 minutes of "wow - so random - '80s!!!".
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Not sure why e'rybody hatin on it. Reminiscent of Poltergeist, some scary parts, some edge of your seat parts, and yes, some predictable parts.
Cinema Paco 1. picture and sound 3.5 / 5 Much better than 3, but far from the 1 and 2. Starting on white alien all go to shit
The character and the graphic are really cool. The problem is the plot: a totally mess! It's really confused and the storyline hasn't been respected. Such a pity, 'cause it could have been a great movie.
