Hey Zach, not every action scene needs slow motion. For fucks sake
Can't believe all of the negative comments. This was a beautifully shot, well thought out story. Everything in it had a purpose. And that final shot was the clincher. This was a story about the human spirit.
I see many people here complaining that the message of this episode was blatantly obvious and simple, but I don't really think that is the point of the episode.
In my interpretation, this episode was mainly here to tell a story of a tragic character that does immoral things out of desperation whilst also showing glimpses of humanity in his actions, which in no way justify his actions. Similarly, they try to humanise each and every side of this story. Even the big CEO of the company that arguably does a lot of social evil has his big humanising moment, where he admits that it all spun out of control, and I think we can all relate to that.
There is no evil character. It is all a complex web that creates evil, and the point, as I see it, was not to bash into the heads of people to not text and drive, or to stop using social media, but simply to tell a story. A story that utilises the all-consuming technology in our society, and I think it does that job fantastically. It is suspenseful, layered, and incredibly moving.
That’s right. Bully’s get stitches. Should’ve hit her harder.
A full writers room thinks that state of the art surface to air missiles are just delivered by some random trucker completely by himself.
Blimey, I went in with already low expectations, but "The Rings of Power" falls short of even those & is a train wreck.
It will take an entire day to point out all of the flaws in this abomination. I'm done.
Bezos & Amazon squandered a billion dollars on this mess.
First two episodes were campy yet enjoyable. Third episode just jumped the shark...smh. so bad so very bad
Pretty good season opener. Cast still connect well and some interesting new cast members + enough intrigue. Could have done without Amy Schumer but hopefully she's no more than a small appearance. Very creative show.
Once again the most interesting part of this whole fucking show is the stuff that gets the least amount of time. I could not care less about the sitcom shtick and I wish they would stop ripping off other shows when it serves little purpose except to make this all ridiculous when it could've been so much better.
In the movie Far From Heaven, you get this practically picturesque town and home life of a housewife in Connecticut. It's gorgeous and full of colors and 50s/60s "retro", what have you. It looks so perfect and lovely yet hides all sorts of ugliness underneath the perfect veneer of "All American Dream". Imagine that kind of set up but with horror and mindfuckery and that could've been THIS FUCKING SHOW.
Each episode continues to disappoint.
Each episode shows me how this would have been better served in a binge-watch (if they ever fucking do anything with the reveal).
Each episode annoys me with a pointless, obnoxious laugh track.
And each episode has me not giving a single damn about this couple or buying into any of their "chemistry" or love. This relationship was developed completely offscreen, and now I'm just supposed to believe they are some shining example of True Love because Marvel clearly wants Young Avengers? Nope. Not happening. I demand better writing and pacing, thank you.
Olsen and Bettany are very talented and capable actors in other projects but here, I can't buy anything between them.
The pacing is just painful and not at all suspenseful. There's tension and then there's annoying the shit out of your audience. This show is the latter.
This show continues to be the epitome of "my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined".
Netflix are the kings of making movies that are just entertaining enough to sit through for 90 minutes but in the end are just utterly forgettable.
MARVELlous!!!…
But does it feels like they overused peggy?maybe a little bit?
Anyways a great series finale…
looking forwards towards the kahhori character…really interesting…
INASIAL - I'm not a spy. I'm a lawyer.
This'll go the way of John Carter.
Massive info dump at the start. Cringy dialogue throughout. Every introduction to a new member is the same. Too many things just happen to go just right to make the good guys look good. Like the bird horse thing. It knocks him off and happens to fly in front of him just right for him to jump back on. In slow motion. Which this movie also has a lot of. I'm sure this would be 20 minutes shorter if everything was shown in real time. Also, why does Charlie Hunnam have that horrible Irish adjacent accent?
My favourite genre is scifi fantasy but between this, the Creator and Avatar, I'm getting really tired of being dissapointed.
God the acting is atrocious.
Loved the scenes with Mando and Bo but although it was awesome to see Coruscant after the fall of the empire, the storyline was stretched out way too long.
I always thought I couldn't enjoy any movie /tv series where female characters are protagonist's. [Cough] She- Hulk [/cough] and thought something is wrong with me for not being able to enjoy stuff with women lead. Now I know there is nothing wrong with me , its just that I look for quality content.
Mizu and akemi are the best written character I have seen in a long time. Now we know how to write a strong female characters without insulting male characters.
Did anyone else find this episode a let down compared to the previous. Hmmmm It kinda felt dull. hmmm
This show serves as yet another reflection of television and movies made in 2022 without feeling like middle earth at all. Years from now we will look back and laugh at how pathetic woke movies and television shows where when we noticed we always had great movies with characters of all backgrounds and gender identities without having to smother people with it. I'd even argue shows like these are going to be seen as pandering and destructive in the near future.
1/10
Amy Schumer should have had no lines and been the first victim. Melissa McCarthy would have been better even.
Awful, Netflix / American influence has ruined once a great show. No more suspense and intrigue, just half baked ideas and crude bottom of the barrel shock scenes
It will take billion dollar failures like this for the tide to turn on wokeness.
More woke, less quality story telling. They are trying to hard to appeal to the few. Boys is better.
This episode is dedicated to everyone whose "Sucky Mom (or Dad) game is strong"..... Expect the worst, but, never give up hope.... Sometimes, people can surprise us and do something completely beyond our expectations. But, if all else fails, it helps to have a "pimp hand" like Fox.
Well, we all knew there could "be only one", so, if you've gotta go out...., go out like a BOSS, saving your friends and the Universe. "Always meant to be together...., but, never meant to be".... Damn allergies..., sniffle...
Bolo "Ash" Killum..... TitanMaster! ... Gonna Kill em all, gonna kill em ALL!!!!! ( Yes, we HEARD him Jeremy....)
Next season cannot get here soon enough..... Chookitty Pah!
Floki’s storyline is incredibly boring and he’s become way less fun than he was before. Maybe he just matured but I miss the old Floki.
Looking forward to this, especially as Sam Elliott is in it. Owner of the best western moustache ever! He brings a great presence to anything he's in. Isabel May, excellent as narrator, looks remarkably like a cross between Jenifer Lawrence and Natalie Portman! A future star in the making.
This show doenst pull their punches, do they? Jesus, that was hard to watch from the first minute to the last.
While I appreciate they showing all the horror that happened there, the second scene of the Animal Control, with the puppies, was just plain cruel and just for shocking. They showed all was this about in the first scene; it was brutal but bearable, and we understood what was happening.
But the puppies man COME ON.
I finished it 20 minutes ago, and I'm just laying here hugging my dogs lmao
Smith is just getting so annoying to watch, she's ruining the show for me she is always able to escape everything and I hate her whole act, and acting. Hope they kill her off the show soon so I can start enjoying it more. She should have ended in season 1
Everybody in this is unlikable. The show has no interest in telling you what characters you're going to follow here in its initial episode. No one is really established except one has anxiety, one other has a thing against technology and the third is gay getting fondled in a club in the open. All is being done in a "we don't have too much time to focus on one thing so let's hurry getting the point accross", making it unbelievable and weird. The pacing is off due to the lack of this.
The acting is incredibly bad and towards the end rather cringeworthy. The mystery that is being set up in this episode somewhat uninteresting and lacking anything creative. This is trying to be bigger than it is with a lower budget.
Should have some already established young actors in this but either the budget is too low, or potential casts didn't want to do this for good reasons.
Many like me are drawn to this because it has SMG involved but that's her only reason to be in this, in front of the camera while executive producing this as well. It's bad. Not funny bad, or so-bad-it's-good bad but really, really bad.
Definite skip for me.
