Hey Zach, not every action scene needs slow motion. For fucks sake
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.
Did anyone else find this episode a let down compared to the previous. Hmmmm It kinda felt dull. hmmm
Too much hype and too much feminist content. Good way to waist half and hour of our weekend :nerd::ok_hand:
So, the casting is on point and some of the visuals were decent but overall this felt very average and I have no desire to watch any further. You're better off just rewatching the original show.
A full writers room thinks that state of the art surface to air missiles are just delivered by some random trucker completely by himself.
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.
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…
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.
Amy Schumer should have had no lines and been the first victim. Melissa McCarthy would have been better even.
You can easily skip this episode. There's absolutely nothing going on in it.
Somebody. Please. For the love of God. Kill Beth Dutton.
The dialling down of the violence and darkness that made earlier seasons so good continues here, and it's a shame.
Maybe it's a result of Sheridan taking on too much with the amount of spin-offs in the chamber now, but I get the impression this is an intentional gameplan to make the show more accessible to a wider audience. The end goal? Serialization. Everyone complaining about the show becoming too "soap opera" has hit the nail on the head - I think that's exactly what they're aiming for now.
What would I like to see in the second half of season 5 - Beth to die at the hands of Jamie, or by his order, and the resulting fallout. John, Kayce, and Rip have all become somewhat complacent since season 4 - all for different and very valid reasons - and Beth's murder would light a fire under each of them, ushering in the return of characters that made this show so great to begin with.
Bring back the unapologetic Yellowstone we loved.
This season was way less what if? And more captain Carter saves the multiverse. I’m not mad at it but just give the character their own show and stop hiding it behind the what if tag.
Get more crazy with the what if ideas in the next season please.
I agree with everyone. Beth and Jamie has to end and it could end with a strong wording from John Dutton. Be a father and fix those two…. Other than that, good show
I've been looking forward to Hawkeye for years. From the cut scene to his time in Japan at the end of one of the movies I figured it'd be a darker take on the character. Kinda like Arrow, when it was good. But sadly it's not that - it's a very Disney like take. I've not seen any Disney+ shows. So I was very disappointed. I'd loved all the Netflix ones.
That taken into account and recalibrating my expectations. I love Christmas theme stuff, so a big check there for the first (unexpected) one of the year. It's an easy watch so I'll continue. But glad it's only 6 episodes.
It's also always a shame they don't cast female characters who look like they train in the arts they're supposed to be well versed in.
Holy balls. I remembered that the trailer for this season had me halted at just how bad the geopolitics was, but I wasn't prepared for it to jump into this inane plot where the government, of the United States of America, is in utter throat-clutching terror of Venezuela gaining nuclear power. It's utterly ridiculous and it jars me out of the verisimilitude of the show.
I'm crying and laughing at the same time, how this is possible?
Wow so this one episode really managed to ruin the entire season for me. I had a hunch and hoped that I was wrong, but this really was all buildup for a romantic revelation at the end. There was no real point to it, no storytelling, all just a slow burn for the fanservice. I hate that main characters seemingly never can just be friends. As if friendships are lesser than romantic relationships. What an afterthought of a season.
Like all Hollywood productions today, the man need to be rescue by the powerful and empowered woman, what a cliche! In this episode the Mandalorian becomes a dummy, clumsy and stupid so Bo Katan can save him not once but twice and of course launch Bo Katan series I bet. Bad writing and worse delivery.
Not much happening this episode. Playing the same notes. Feels almost like filler. Okay 6 / 10
That’s right. Bully’s get stitches. Should’ve hit her harder.
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.
