It took almost two seasons but they've finally sold Book and Michael to me... I'm on board now.
Why the hell words "I need your help" from Lucy to Chloe made me so happy and empowered?!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! It went so not what I thought but some of it I predicted... but nonetheless Idk why my neighbors didn't call the cops hearing my screams! The fight could be longer as the build up was the entire season pretty much. The sacrifices were pretty blunt bc od the immediate UNDO button scenes. BUT the in air fight was marvelous, I completely didn't see it coming bc it's hella many cgi things and it's just a tv show. Maybe Netflix but still a tv show with many episodes.
The whole episode was great for me even though I never thought Michael had a chance. Not bc I knew Lucy had to live and all but they managed to show as that Michale isnt a fighter, hes a manipulator and the whole plan of his was really great, would be better if given more eps and slowly showing piece by piece not entire plan in one ep revealed.
All in all, could be better OFCOURSE, too much none important things thus rushing the important stuff, too much dealing with over and over the same emotional problems. It showed the budget for this was the greatest yet, they did all that they could for this one episode, all of the characters were there which I wanted to. Just still dont understand why Ella is still not knowing everything. I see it doesnt have a clifhanger as between 5A and 5B which I understand make ppl emotions not that great. It would be an amazing series finale with about couple scenes left to see where the idea is going. It really doesnt need 6th season. Bc of that it didnt leave the excitement and need to know what will happen next. I feel the next season should have a greater war even, as the build up each season should have, but Lucy doesnt have anyone to fight with.
I was waiting for this end scene a bit now..... it didn't disappoint. The three leads are amazing in every scene. I had to watch it couple times to believe that they are acting.
I should start with the fact that I liked the theatrical cut of Justice League when it came out. I watched it maybe two times which says so much that I didn't rewatch it as crazy as I am a lot of movies, tho.
In this one, I've found EVERYTHING that the first one lacked plus things I didn't know I needed (like finally one scene when Superman doesn't feel like a moving statue).
Pros:
- THE MUSIC! From beginning to the end when the beat drops when Diana is about to fight... . I'm in love. But almost every musical decision during the whole movie was clear to me and distinct. Really added so much to the atmosphere.
- omg THE LORE!!!! The war from the retrospection with added scenes/characters AND with so much more Lore. I cannot breathe! Anti-life equasion/Darkseid. So informative.
- The fights were totally more entertaining and engaging. Still, the last fight could be longer although parademons are easy to kill.
- more scenes with Cyborg, Flash AND Steppenwolf added clarity why or how they did what they did, also more scenes with creative use of their powers which is always great.
- Mera!!
- MARTIAN!!!!!!
- Jared Leto's Joker!!
- whole Epilogue O.O I need it NOW! (in more elaborate words: I finally felt I needed the next movies while still watching this one, not like in the original cut)
Cons:
- I DEFINITELY didn't need more scenes with Lois x.x No chemistry with Clark and it hurts to watch them, sulking and crying and OMG A SCENE WHEN LOIS BUYS COFFEE that lasts couple seconds but is only this. We interrupt the scheduled world saving to show you that Lois is a human coffee drinker.
- In other words, it had a few scenes that really didn't bring anything, even words. I have to give it as another con as Snyder decided to delete some cool scenes from the original and I cannot see why (the scenes I was mostly waiting for: 1. when Diana and Bruce 'fight' about the plan to revive Superman and Bruce speaks about her dead bf, 2. bc DC has almost none of the humor (compared to Marvel) I wished the scene when Aquaman sits on the Lasso of Truth wasn't deleted)
- Am I that "feministic" or is Diana heavily reduced? I've found many scenes when she didn't even spoke like when a serious problem was considered. She was the only one who didn't spoke on the 'Is reviving Superman a good plan?' debate and couple more.
- In the many new scenes with Cyborg and Flash The Big Trio felt really... lacking. Idk, is it just bc they had fewer new scenes that I've felt that?
- Still I cannot connect with Cyborg or Flash, some added scenes were great but still don't think I could last a whole movie with one or the other alone
I AM more interested in DCs future than in Marvels now. Although, with DC I really try to not have hope that other movies will even exist.
I thought to give it 8/10 bc I'm so bitter about Diana but I am so happy that this movie was even released that I couldn't give it less that 9/10. Might change later.
Ok, I'm shocked. This was THE BEST movie with cheating plot. Seriously. The first time it was believing for me that the marriage couple stayed married/she didn't choose the other guy not the reason itself but the characters having great relationship and chemistry and all.
The plot wasn't really dramatic. Noone was a bad person who stalks/rapes/kills/or wathever so the woman's choice could be simple. I hate that portrayal with this type of movies and I've see some of them. The other guy ending up as some psycho which should made it easy for the woman to choose or the husband to get close with his wife again, etc. BUT it is still entertaining! Without the overdramatic stuff. I think it could be a story for some people to happen in real life even tho it was the biggest happy ending it could be. I was hoping for every character to be happy.
I aspire to be such a person as Gabby was. She was human, with flaws and not without wavering. But when she was honest... she was honest with everyone and I freaking loved that. She admitted it was her fault, she could even wait a second for her girls to believe the father is at fault. And the best was when Matt came to see Henry and she without any waver admitted "It's Matt, Henry's dad." and then quickly sat with her daughter and explained what the situation will be now with Matt being in their lives even tho she's not with him but Henry is his son.
It's so much to be saying after an easy movie but it really shocked me how much I liked it and how modern with good parental choices it was (Gabby). I'm all for honesty with kids, admitting parents can make bad decisions as well as kids, and parents should apologise too.
I was at the edge of my seat the whole time!
I really hoped that the kiss will be in the last loop, like Daisy did it bc it will go back before it but oops, it's the last loop so deal with the consequences :D But no :( And we only have 4 more eps. There isn't enough time for them :( Why they couldn't erase 6th season and make this one longer?!
Idk how I got through the 1st season (probably bc Stana Katic's acting) and why I ever wanted to watch 2nd season but OMG how am I glad to have done this. 2nd season is intense and great from the beginning to the end. Ifinally started caring for the characters and there is some development. I love how so many people looks at Emily with at least suspision and other 'bad' feelings but she still can develop really strong bonds with others, romantic or partnering. BTW she's a fucking great agent!
God! This one.... I mean this one... this one got to me. The ending. Oh wow. I'm so glad that now we have a focus on Lorelai more than Rory. Even just for a little bit. Rory is now older than me but I just connect more to Lorelai than Rory and I always wanted more focus about Lorelai's feelings. She just had to grow up I guess. It's more deep that the show ever was.
And oh wow I forgot how much I loved Jess. He was the best out of Rory's boyfriends. I never liked Logan and Idk why and how Rory and Logan are in this situation.
Barely saw 10 min and already hooked. Awesome idea.
And the show was cancelled on that note?! Fuck... But I'm happy I've watched it even tho I knew it was cancelled.
So I see many complaints about the timeline of the story... Ive read the books years ago and yes, I found it kind of confusing at the beginning. I knew the timeline and I thought its Netflix's idea to chaotically show the story but by the 3rd episode Ive found couple of hints in the dialogues with which people can understand that Yennefers story is when father of Calanthe is on the throne, Geralts when Calanthe is, and Ciris when Cintra was in flames. So stick to couple of eps before you make a decision to leave the show.
And I must say that the books, the two tomes of short stories (!!) give a little chaos to the timeline too. Not to spoiler anyone, between the stories Geralt is in a place with people with whom he talks about the events after all of the short stories. So complain to Sapkowski and watch the show to the end ! The Finale is marvellous and Im totally not objective as Yennefer will always be my fav character in the Witcher: movie, shows, books, or the games:D
I dare to say... it was better than Grey. For a such ridiculous story it was far more realistic which made it so much more enjoyable (and I enjoyed Grey).
I totally didn't know anything about the movie, I watched it bc i saw a scene with the knives from the beginning of the movie and I had to watch it. 2 hours went by so quickly, the amount of times when I was fidgeting afraid sth's bad gonna happen for Ani was uncountable pretty much. To the end I wondered if she really does feel relief or not, I just hope she can be truly happy.
For those who think she's a bad person and the movie didn't show any growth and any redeemable qualities in Ani....... I think you skipped the last 30 minutes or so. She doesn't need any redeemable characteristics. The whole movie is like her seeing, understanding the fakeness of everything, this is a therapy movie. The growth couldn't be any clearer. I just wished the other two weren't alive to see this and that at the end we didn't see any backlash at Dean or a smile from the teacher guy.
This season was a lot better than the previous one! 1st season I didn't really know for whom it was. Too childish for teens and too dark for children I guess. This was a YA story for sure. I'm almost 30 so it was still naive for me, but I still like YA and it didn't disappoint this time. Some characters finally became "whole" with their dark/light sides, like humans are. Even the ones I didn't like I could see some things I respected them for.
Nonetheless, I still had some issues with choices made in this season. Two main ones being Terra's coming out and Flora's main focus.
I feel like Terra is the stereotypical/bad assumptions on lesbians. I've heard so many times that women "become" lesbians bc no men could find them attractive. It really felt like Terra "made her choice" bc of that. I'm only saying that's the portrayal of the show that I've seen. From the beginning, Terra is the stereotypical "fat" girl, not self-assured, shy, doesn't believe she could be interesting. And ofc all her friends are confident so the show makes an assumption that beautiful and slim = confidence. She had two bad romantic interactions with men and the show didn't let any other to even befriend her. So I feel like the show targeted men as well as women here. It shows that no men is capable to love a fat/boring Terra but women can, but also making women/lesbians portrayed as "if guys don't like you, convert to women". I'm not saying that Terra could really always felt sth towards women BUT the show made it look different on the surface. She said she felt like that from the beginning but the show never showed us that. (If you would think about the one scene in 1st season when she couldn't look at naked Aisha it was clearly showed that it was bc of Terra's body that she wanted to hide and change and really not every heterosexual women are comfortable changing with others or seeing other women change).
And about Flora, she's so beautiful and confident, her magic looked beautiful as well, really liked her at the end BUT there are two scenes when she could really shine with her character if the show didn't make her main focus being the romance and romantic relationships of other girls. There is a scene when shes sneaking with Aisha and Rosalind or anyone can find them and there is possibility of expulsion but shes adamant to change Aisha's mind about Gray to the point of stoping and waiting for Aisha to stop, not listening her reason, and making her focus on the romance topic. Almost at the end, when she's on the cemetery with Terra they're already out of time to save Bloom (which is another stupid thing but whatever) yet she also stops and try to force the topic of romance on Terra even tho they are doing sth against the rules and there is a balance of her friend's life/confinement. It was annoying, stupid, and really made her superficial and egocentric. It could really be used as a flaw that during other episodes she could overcome but without it it's really pointless thing. Not to mention that pretty much from the first scene she's in the show forces her into the dynamic of friends which had one year to grow their friendship so mostly I was on team Terra to be pissed and suspicious, double checking, so I also hated the resolution that it was all bc of jealousy. And I remind you that I don't even like Terra.
All in consideration, I really like this season, it made me feel something not like the 1st one which I really had to watch again bc I forgot almost everything.
It wasn't over the top in anything. It was a little bit fun, a little bit romance and a nice approach to BDSM. It was really refreshing and well developed. I didn't think Korea will do such a movie, even tho it's Netflix but I'm also shocked that it was very good.
I think revenge plots are my favourite in kdramas xD But also so many unexplained things and missed opportunities for actors to shine more.
We never got a reveal for Jun Kyoung that Ari is dead and also that Ari might be alive. I wanted this so bad only for the purpose to see actors talent bc i was mesmerized about his ability to convey emotions so quickly and clearly as he did during the kiss scene. He was focused on reading Aris emotions then in a second he was shocked but then the feeling and determination changed his face i was so excited to see more for him but we didnt get that.
I would also love to see aftermath for every celebrity at the end. After some time not like during which we got. Did Angela became a full on prostitute? And what with the others? Some quickly decreasing followers numbers and maybe their occupations afterwards would be amazing.
What also bugs me the most is we never saw why/how Aris family bancrupted, we didnt get answers for her "uncle" and mothers behaviour. They just were like that without us knowing the full story. Also why Ari hated on Jun Kyoung that much at the beginning, even if its for his money and being treated like royalty we dont know WHY she hates that kind of behaviour. I was constantly thinking that it had to be bc how ppl treated her after her family's downfall. Why Jun Kyoung hated drugs so much that he was disgusted with Ari just being next to the drugs? So many questions.
I understand Aris decision at the end but I would love for her to maybe use her channel to help others, maybe to talk about honesty, loyality and anti hater stuff. Naive... but would be very hopeful.
I think Kane is the most forgivable character in the universe. The actor made the scene when Octavia forced him by killing others to be a cannibal AMAZINGLY DEVASTATING. And to find out that he knew it was Abby's idea that they have to make Kane eat. Yet he forgave her and many times pleaded for her not taking drugs. She told him so many shitty things and when I heard him saying that he's glad her love for Clarke made her stop.....OMG I tearded up. And now this. He's been through some shit and noone would have it against him if he had hated Abby... It makes me so sad that the show is taking such a good character. I love that after not having a choice in the bunker he could now make it in this ep. Although I would love to see his goodbye with Clarke. I hoped for him to be as a second dad for her.
Another good farewell for a characted that has been with us since the beginning.
And no matter what you think about Abby... to have to kill two so freaking big loves of your life the same way? Savage.
I need more of them! Liked all of the crew, they had so little time to be developed properly. The story was also rushed soooo much it was hard to keep track of time but I really liked the story, the connections to the second season. Give me so much new lore :)
Surprisingly good. I too thought it would be just another romantic movie with army plot. You know what will happen through entire movie but it's well acted, the couple has great chemistry and it's a little bit fresh raising some issues without being too political. Definitely worth to watch.
I fricking love Chloe's meeting with God. Not only they were shocked bc she wasn't Godstrucked but I also went O.O with her words to him :D Also I still crack up that even Chloe now knows that in order to advice Lucy she has to use euphemizms or show him everything via other ppl problems. It's so childish but sweet and funny in some way :D
OMG God trying to be a father is the best thing ever !
I usually don't like musical episodes bc:
1. actors rarely can sing (or they just pick songs no ordinary person can sing)
2. the episodes are just filling up space and they dont take the plot further.
Here we don't have either of those things. I might be a little sick of the whole season being mostly about Lucifer's feelings and issues, (pretty much every ep talking about a different issue) BUT I think this ep took the plot as far as a normal episode would and they chose a musical bc they wanted to use Tom's abilities more. It was entertaining for me and I cant be mad bc it wasnt just a filler. I was more mad about the one retrospective with Lillith which had such slight relation to the overall plot that it wasn't needed as a whole ep.
I see Netflix is focusing more on psychological approach which I like more than just the fun stuff from 1-3 seasons but it may be too much feelings in too little episodes, I can see how good it would be if Netflix had Lucifer from the beginning. The comedy kept me entertained maybe for two season, in third I was barely keeping interest but from 4 till now I'm so into it.
I was hooked already after 10 min of the 1 ep. I wasn't expecting the futuristic plot and I was wary of it but it went amazing. This show has so many things but excluding the 1st ep i wasnt overwhelmed. It should have more episodes! I need s2 now!
it was very easy to predict and ofc so many things were impossible but... i had fun! it was entertaining and almost every character was likeable. I don't like comedies and this gave me a little hope in comedy department. Definitely didn't think im gonna watch past 1 ep and I watched it in one sitting.
I watched a lot of romantic comedies, ive had enough, but I still wanted to check this duo of great actors. I had fun, I even laugh on multiple occasions so thats already shocking. The was so much killing it was shocking in a romantic comedy for me and the action made it fresh even though they really started killing and taking guns and making jokes. Shouldnt be silly yet they made it fun somehow.
Definitely one you could watch couple times.
This was amazing and the whole idea with so many cultures... I dont know why Im even surprised Netflix cancelled it. Better to produce a hundred of the same teen-sex shows a year. Whatever x.x
I saw some scenes and immediately turned any notifications off, thought it would be another Thai Bl, heavy with sexual scenes. I don't have anything against such dramas, I watched them when I feel like it. I started watching 180 degrees bc I felt like I needed sth like that. But after 1st episode I already knew it isn't that. ut then Ive found myself at the end of 3rd episode and I was mesmerized. Almost all scenes are in two or three rooms of one home, the rest are on the outside of the house. The drama consists of long dialogue scenes and silent staring in the distance but I couldn't bring myself to turn it off or even skip the scenes with the mother whom I still hate. There are couple of scenes where the acting made me so immersed I was gasping and covering my eyes to not see the immense hurt of the characters. And I'm not a person who entertains herself watching sad dramas or even sad scenes in their entirety. I wish I knew it isn't a happy ending but then I wouldn't have watch it as I never do dramas I know will be sad. It just isn't for me. And I'm also conflicted bc ok, I got the message at the end (the subtitles) but it really made me angry for watching it bc 8 eps all having 45 min and it came a full circle, characters was exactly the same as they were at the beginning. Maybe Wang was slightly different but I don't really think so, he was just true to himself the whole time so really I don't see a change in him as well. Which is infuriating, at least I wanted for the mother to acknowledge ANYTHING bc she is the worst and I couldn't stand her.
I think it was beautifully made but without a point. They had to spell it out bc the plot wasn't made for understanding it this way. I learn more seeing a change in a character, owning their mistakes and make different decisions, not going full circle and starting again.
Up until the last scene of season 1 it had the best ending possible, the ending i didn't dream of coming true....
I was surprised that from the 1st ep it held my attention to the very end. The number of scenes when I could breathe from all the tension was very scarce. As I watched some number of shows with similar plot, this one surprised me many times with how the plot was changing in certain situations.
It still has potential to be even better, the finale could be a little more but it still held up as well as every other episode. And I need to see so much more from Adan Canto bc his acting in scenes when he had the sole attention of the camera on him was amazing. The emotions was depicted easily but he could show so many of them with just a couple seconds close up.
If someone could change it, there will be a second season. Already seen some photos and it should air soon.
Why cancelling such a great show?! In every ep I got interested and shocked, keeping me on the edge. I had hope for criminal shows again (used to love them but if you watch 20 you know everything they can come up with so for years I couldnt get interested in one even for one season). And we just had hope for Malcolm/Dani relationship T.T Whyyyyy?!
I will watch anything with Kate, not even knowing what it is about like in this case. I hate comedies as every one has the same dumb jokes but this one got me at times. It sure had some dumb scenes but not seen before, throwing newborns especially. Really fun watch.
I thought about many endings but they still surprised me a little bit.
