It's hard to believe how well this was put together at times. I'd say the first 10 episodes are definitely the best, after that the story line has reached a point where it's less exciting. That doesn't mean the rest of it is bad though, not at all.
One thing that striked me is that there were often tensions moments when Light get's interrogated. Ever time when it seems like he's getting caught he comes up with another waterproof lie/alibi to trow off any suspicion. Which is what I meant by the first sentence.
I actually got a Death Note book as a gift after I finished the series :)
Comb the desert!
This was the first Anime I've ever watched, as I decided to give the whole shindig a chance. I've definitely got off on the right foot as I absolutely loved this. The post-apocalyptic preserve mankind sci-fi setting is a great one. The character development of Vincent (whom you might call the protagonist) is unlike I have ever seen in any movie or TV-show. The story line is a heavily emotionally and psychologically entangled journey and it often left an impression after watching an episode.
"I think, therefore I am".
There's no philosophical discussions going in here. This movie seems to be about sketches and super deep philosophical monologs. The animation is unlike anything I've seen though. From an animation perspective this makes for a really good movie.
This show could be all about Thad for all I care!
I've watched a few episodes and got really bored of it. It's shot and edited in a typical MTV-show style too, which doesn't appeal to me as it's aimed at instant gratification and (false) suspense.
Aside from that, every single episode has the same thing in common. A person has had contact with someone online and developed a connection. They want to meet him/her but that person always ends up making an excuse not to. They've only seen a few pictures of the person and never on webcam. Those two things would be a gigantic red flag to any sensible person, but not these people! Because of this it's completely predictable. And yes, that person never ends up being the person who they said they were.
They only pick out the people who's "relationship" meets this criteria. Or else this would just be a "help-people-get-together" kind of show. You basically keep watching to find out what the person really looks like, that's it.
I've watched the movie, which was really exciting. But I can basically write a script for the next season myself (I'm not implying there is one, but it's so linear it could easily be).
I watched this purely because of it's high rating alongside of titles like Requiem for a Dream. Unfortunately this movie didn't captivate me at all.
I started watching this because Trakt recommended it for me. The characters and cast seems to change every season (explained through weird abrupt reasons) but they all share the same traits: on community service, posses a power and they have a story. I was sad to see Nathan disappear as he always brought random and inappropriate humor to everything. But she's replaced with Rudy who I came to like very fast.
A lot of the happenings are surprisingly compelling at times, genuine loss, love and heartbreak all around. I was captivated all the way through, a real thrill ride. I hope it's doing well in the UK because I'd definitely want to see more.
This movie gradually and hardly noticeably builds up to a climax which will put you in a Trance. My mind was blown...
I liked the second season so much better (especially with the introduction of Veronica) where they stay in and go for an office comedy. It also has far more movie reference, down to a full blown Indiana Jones scene and a subtle Terminator reference (Melanie's statue sinking in the furnace and the last thing visible is her thumbs up) .
After a few episodes I realized I had already seen this series when it came out. It's still great and nearly all scenarios are remade in Call of Duty 1, for instance the village Carentan.
This show goes off the typical situation of a guy who gets out of a long-term relationship and wants to get over her. His friends (Tyler, Gibbs but not so much Neal) help and advice him to "get back in the game". Because they are the typical lady killers that know it all, and are supposedly extremely successful with the ladies. Things like the number of days to wait to text a girl come up and such, it's all rehashed material. In episode 6 there's even an attempt at their own version of HIMYM's "Hot/Crazy scale".
It's far from original and it's all very predictable. I'm still going to watch it all but it won't end up on my list of recommendations.
I've been watching this for a few years now. I'm currently on my 5th reviewing of all seasons. It's just completely brilliant how some events intertwine in an episode.
Everyone I've showed an episode to ended up watching all of the others and loved it!
Loved every bit of this movie. I just had to endure the amount of restraint the main character had, not to beat the shit out of the people that deserved it.
When Erik's digging a grave in the rain, on command of one of the "bullies". There's a moment when he comes to check up on him. And Erik slightly raises the shovel, and you can actually see the fear in the bullies eyes. Because the only thing that's stopping Erik is the fact that he's being constrained by consequences. There's small things like that which contribute to making this a great movie.
