I just can't understand why EVERYONE is lying for Troy. I just... he isn't that much of an excellent fighter to be so worth of lying again and again to your family.
This was the best episode so far in the series. These two last eps were amazing with tension and character development mainly for Alicia (it was a major relief to not see Madison). She starts to develop in a way I was hoping from the beginning. Immediately I was afraid that maybe Madison "saving her" at the end will turn everything back and we would see child-Alicia back but it was so powerful for her to stand up to her mum and say all the things she said. Im just sad that it didnt make any change for Madison. I was surprised she didnt make her go with them at any cost but well... she isnt the favorite child for her so. Still somewhat pissed off at Nick for going after her but I cant have it all and I am pleased with what Ive got from this episode.
In the future I need more leader-Alicia bc we had that for a moment and it was tense and raw and real but I just wanted someone to live to spread the word that Alicia can make decisions for herself and other, good decisions not like her family. I will not even mention that I want her to know that her brother killed her bae... she's so better without them.
This movie shook me to the bones. I had a ton of opportunities to read the book but I've always dismissed it as a boring angst/teen drama. I can't believe how wrong I was.
This movie is true beyond belief, I don't see a person without any psychological problem to write this. As a person with this kind of problems it hit me hard with relatability and insights about how it looks. I could say it grazed only the surface and it could dig more but in reality, psychological problems are hidden, by people suffering from them, their families, society, we don't talk about them, we dismiss them, we cannot express them in words. So the movie did its justice.
I really believed, at the beginning, that a movie starting so depressing have to end happy. It didn't and I coudn't believe it. I think it hit me bc I have a similar problem as Finch did and in this, I saw one of the ways it could end. I'm so glad I watched it and I can't give it less than 10 stars.
For those who have problems with understanding the movie, just believe me, for some - it is exactly like that, and we can't sometimes understand it too. I'm gonna go read the book now.
It's so interesting that Netflix's Cursed which I just watched was marketed everywhere and presumed to be a definite great series and it really doesn't have the best reviews now where Warrior nun weren't marketed anywhere and I just saw the poster here by accident and as of now it has better ratings. I really anticipated Cursed and haven't feared about it bc I thought that if the trailer was great the series will be better. Well, I was incorrect. I didn't watch the whole trailer for Warrior nun bc I was interested enough and yet thought that if it wasn't so highly recommended everywhere it probably isn't that great but I wanted to know by watching the series not seeing sth not great in the trailer. Well IT WAS A FUCKING DELIGHT!!
I really thought the chick will be sooner in the Church and will be taught to fight and all, I anticipated that, and I was wrong. But the story, tho mainly the main character was running from it and discovering herself, was still really entertaining. Idk if it was for the actress or the character, maybe both, but really this happy, flowy, optimistic but yet insecure and depressive.... Shes everything but nothing as well (yet). I really appreciated the narration stuff... Im always hating the scenes where characters who are loners have to talk to themselves or to an animal etc to give us a proper understanding of what goes inside their heads. It's so unreal.
I loved the friendship but not so friendly friendship, the lore was discripted vastly tho there is a feel it isn't wholy known yet. There is so much yet to be discovered in the next season. This one ends on a clifhanger so be warned... I wasn't and I feel angry now that I don't even know if I get to see the end to that scene bc Netflix is so random in giving chances to its series.
I am really shocked that I liked it so much, that I was interested in the many eps without "magic" or fighting as well as the ones who had these scenes. The twist at the end maybe not so new was still shocking in a way. I recommend everyone interested enough to see for yourself, not listed to your expectations over the couple sentences about the plot.
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 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.
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.
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 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 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.
I thought so low about this. That bc of the main actor it would be a comedy or just another cop show which I was done bc of the schematic eps and so little insights with the main cast. Well I was soo wrong! It's so entertaining and maybe sometimes naive but mainly it just show you that you don't have to be tough and a handsome hunk to be great at the cop thing. John doesn't look like a cop, doesn't act like a cop really. He's naive, he's a teddy bear almost but he's gonna move mountains to change a 'crook' when he sees the person has potential.
I don't understand how the hell so many women are so into him which is hilarious. As well with the fact he's a rookie.
The comedy is there but the cases feel fresh and many times I didn't know how they will turn out and I have seen many cop shows. The romantic relationships feel fake to me and I couldn't feel anything for pretty much all of the relationships, not only with Nolan (maybe when he was with Jess but the relationship was mainly off screen and in the end felt rushed butthe chemistry was there at the beginning, love the actress, sad they didn't show her more). The relationships between the officers on the other hand. By the finale of the 2nd season I saw many scenes so believable I was rooting for the characters I didn't even like just bc they all really started to feel like a family. Boots and TOs. It's really outstanding for me. I feel hangover now (watch the entire show in 2 days) and I want to watch more cp shows but I know there aren't any like that.
I am content. I always thought I needed more intense and dramatic end to Scandal but we had 2 dramatic and tense episodes earlier. The whole season was pretty much resolved very quickly. Olivia's fight with the Gladiators was about one "bad" decision, not like any of them made so much bad decisions and killed so many, right? The reconciliation was in return very slow considering how quickly they all wanted to burn her. Yet, when they all started working together it was exactly old Scandal as I loved which made me so happy and that's why I am content. It could be worse, like the finale of The Good Wife...
I am still so confused why I like Jake. He's so awesome when he's good but so revolting when he's bad. He was always my favourite bad character as he wasn't all bad and Olivia still to the end cared about him. Even at the end he couldn't be caged. He was calm and able to be in that happy place in his memories of when I loved him so much.
I only wanted Cyrus to be dead or imprisoned. I even thought he would kill himself when he was talking with Olivia about a drink.
And Eli.... That's a great character as well. We still don't know if he's a mastermind who was so bad and yet at the end tricked everyone to have his daughter back, or maybe he's crazy?
This end is a subjective one bc we don't really know anything. What was Olivia's painting at the end? Did Jake really got imprisoned? Will being yet again thrown out of the WH do anything for Cyrus to become a better person or at least feel it as a punishment? Your guess is as good as mine.
I just wish a better ending scene with Liv and Fitz, in bed, marriage, working together... anything else.
It was different. Trailer didn't hyped me up. First 30 mins and I knew it's not my cup of tea but oh boy I love my friend who suggested me to keep watching. After this 30 min the atmosphere of horror disappeared for me and then I started to be interested. The most interesting parts are the ridiculous things that will keep a vampire far from you. After 3rd episode I know now why was it like that but Ive never thought about such an explanation. Yet, the 2nd episode was for me the best. Ive never read Agatha Christie novels but it felt like I think the books make people feel :D I was so focused on finding the little things I was seriously unaware of the biggest ones. Not many things can surprise me nowadays. 3rd episode wasnt very interesting. In the wake of so many vampire stories I was merely watching to compare everything. The revealing of sth at the cemetery scene was interesting... but the ending. Im so sad it was shown in such haste and almost confusion. It lacked maybe only 5 mins but I was surprised and thats the point. Agatha is my animal spirit... I wish!
As someone who doen't know really about 'Nancy Drew' I liked the supernatural the most. Nancy as a character was growing on me slowly and I can admit I love that she's more centered, calm, and adult. The rest of the crew falls so flat in comparison. I mean, Nancy too had some bad and too quick decisions (which killed some people) but it's like she's 25 and the rest is 15. I like the twist (like the parental thing) which is the only thing I am looking for in the next season bc the other character that I like was found dead, so I have only Nancy now.
It bugged me at the beginning that it really reminded me of Riverdale, not anything specific but overall. Which is not sth I look forward too as I left Riverdale at this point at the half of it's run and I fear Nancy Drew will slowly degrade as Riverdale did. But this show at this point is just 'ok' to me, not like Riverdale was during the 1st season. It has some nice things but the characters don't really matter for me.
I saw many ppl immediately didn't like this bc of the CW, I must say it's definitely not the same CW that produced Shadowhunters (God, no!) and The Vampire Diaries. I feel it tries to be more adult, not taking the characters during the school years and that stuff, but for now it seems they don't yet know how to adult really.I have to see more to know exactly.
What I wanted more from this movie:
- I really liked the more of a comic atmosphere the introduction to characters made in 1st one whn they've just written the powers of characters, I was really missing it here
- how the hell we didnt have any interactions between Harley and Nanaue?!!! I miss them from Harley Quinn animation
- more atmosphere making music.... I only acknowledged one song and it was during the end credits, I didn't hear anything elseduring the movie
What I liked:
- am I shipping Flag with Harley now? They could have a really nice friendship
- still funny tho not that funny as the 1st one
- Harley didnt disappoint
- Nanaue stole every scene he was in
- I didnt expect to like any of the new characters excluding my Nanaue but I am fond of Ratcatcher now
What I didnt like:
- I felt like there was more of a mission than individual characters in this
- the chemistry bewteen characters was lacking soooo much comparing to the first instalment, in this one I remember only the girl, Idris Elba and Flag
- Idk if it's just me or I cannot see Bloodsport I only see Idris Elba, maybe bc withwill Smith I didn't see that many movies with him so I could see him as his character but Idris Elba is Idris Elba for me and I watch anything with him really
- I watched it for 3 characters and theyve killed two of them................. really you had to kill Flag after him being so nice and kind here?
I was soooo afraid it's gonna turn out badly as did 6th season for me. I have to state that I can't really get past that Agents saw many aliens and went to another galactics so this.... this shouldn't be even an issue. Idk, maybe going to another universes should be the last season or (as it seems characters aren't even changed by the things they faced i 6th season) it should be interpreted as a kind of dream. I liked couple things in 6th season so I can't really forgot about it by I try, as characters feel they did.
Also I tried so long and so hard to connect Avengers Infinity War and Endgame with this time travel and I still don't quite understand as I know couple spoilers from next episodes. I hope it will come to me although I don't think it will be explained as there were many thing without explanation in 6th season.
In this I really like the use of Deke, although I still can't believe he's so smart even without knowing the numbers after 5 (as he said in season 5 or 6). I still don't like emo Simmons from 6th season to this one. I like that Coulson's back but his death was neatly done and he shouldn't be brought back. If everyone else dies in this season and doesn't come back I will not believe they couldn't save them. I was hoping they don't "cage" Quake powers bc noone can find out about them in the past... love to see her fghting with occasional use of the powers (I loved her with blond hair tho ;( )
For now, the ep was nice, good I could say, no more than that tho. Pretty much the same feelings at the start of 6th season ( confusion of a 1 year gap in outer space equals the confusion of the time Simmons expirienced and the changes she made) so it still can go downhill from now.
Gosh how I love this show. But this season was very slow. As in the previous one we have all 5 eps as the barely introduction to the new situations in which the characters live in and the new main plot. The problem is, when 5 out of 10 eps is the intruduction... you're left with only 5 episodes to get through the middle of the story and get the ending. Eps 6 to 9ish were great and then we have 10th which should be the ending but we are left with so many unanswered questions (left for the next season I guess but they could easily wrap this up in this one with the changes of the pace), quick events without the planning or the anticipation what is happening and if it's real or planned, and at the end the whole premise of what the characters will be doing in the next season. I think somehow we would be better of without this episode or, as I've said, with the probable next season resolutions put in this season. I just feel like the story ended weirdly on a clifhanger but then showed me bits from the future and I don't know what to feel.
Finished after many years. It was good till like half point. Then it's just goes downhill so fast that the last 2/3 episodes were so hard to watch and i stopped caring about anyone.
Characters don't learn even when plots ("twists"?) are so repetitive. The family dynamic was nice but at the end, after everything it went to parents wanting kids to stay in one place, kids rebelling, noone trusted anyone to take care of the situation and actually noone could for some weird reason even tho at the beginning of the show they somewhat kicked asses.
It went from post-apo/apocalyptic show to mythological creatures and demons to dinosaurs and time travellers in only 13 episodes.
Also, I never thought about this show to be anything other than for teens and maybe that's why i was interested in the first half. Then I think it tried to be more for adults and they just didn't know what will interest adults so they pulled everything they could.
I'm giving 6 only because I know I loved the first half in 2016 and I watched so many shows with "poor" acting and definitely poor CGI with potential so I'll never lower the score for having less money for CGI.
Predictable as hell... and I'm f***ing not believing this stupid half-ass theory that they do die if "their time comes". What bullshit is that? They don't even contemplate at least how much they have and if some have more or less and many other questions. My theory that they simply get tired of living that long, loose hope/determination etc is way better. It's how the black dude died and it even answers to the question of the asian chick tossed into the water.
The main fight at the end lasts for about 15 minutes and u know from the beginning of the moving noone stands a chance with them.
The whole thing with Nile not wanting to fight with them would be easily omitted by just having a convo about what are they doing with their lives. Not simply telling "we do what we believe in" - what the hell does it answer to? Most unfullfilling anser ever. And Nile doesn't even ask more about it, just thinks they kill ppl. for a person painted as the one who asks many questions she surely stops pretty quickly. They, as well, dont do shit to convince her tho they want her by their side.... Oh man. I was furious the whole time. And at the end I also have to believe Andy full mortal will be still fighting with them. That was perfectly leading to her again being immortal... so much wasted potential...
Action scenes were great tho.... so at least I liked seeing those.
Why people at some point think kids in action movies are fresh or interesting? I hate it, always. They're always in the way, ask so many not important questions, think they know everything and somehow I should believe that they could save the world? Yeah, nope! It's not a movie for kids so don't drag the kids in it.
1st hour 2/10
next 0,5 hour 6/10
then it became better than the new Tomb Raider! I wish this chick was the new Lara Croft.
But when they've finally led up to the main thing and paint a picture of these two that apparently are the most important... all went to shit in order of more scenes with fighting machines. I don't understand the reason to create the plot around two people when you don't really use the potential of it (both of them had pretty much one scene when they barely used what the movie says they are) and just throw so much machine fighting which don't bring anything new after 4 movies.
All in all, it had the potential, the story was interesting. I want to give it a 7/10 but if I wouldn't be a person who does everything to the end I would definitely turned it off after 20 or 30 minutes.
After 2 episodes: Main couple has great chemistry, though you could tell everything from the huntress girl's face. So the twist that she knew all along wasn't a twist at all and I was shocked that they felt they need to do everything from her perspective so ppl knew she knew. Also, for very old vampires, the adults including the sister are so dumb/naive. Idk, this whole liver thing, I was 100% sure they're going to start believing she didn't kill her but somehow they were more convinced?! Like how?! Even with the mention of the brother I don't think he could be acting like her but doing such stuff so I find sooooo unbelieveble I couldn't watch. If it were a straight main couple I don't think I would be watching passed that point but well... I crave anything sapphic and I really want to give credit to the main actressess which are still unknown.
UPDATE after whole season: first and last episodes were the best, so the showrunners know how to make an impression, also I'm so disappointed that they stick to making Oliver bad, I really liked the twist with him not being responsible and I hoped they gonna leave it at that. I get that he might want the revenge but his last words about power wasn't that logical for me. Nevertheless, I didn't want him to be the bad one after the reveal of his past.
About the point with adults being dumb, it somehow vanished BUT there were so many moments when sth was revealed or sth just happened and I wondered how a person would react to this or if someone did sth I wondered "well, they still dont know about this" at it was revealed in the next convo that the adult already knows it. Like, it infuriated me not only bc it wasn't shown that the person get to know it but also it wasn't revealed HOW the heck they get to know the things. The least infurationg example is after Juliette's First Kill it wasn't even mentioned. The first thing is that in one ep the whole family believed she killed viciously and were afraid that she might be a murderer, then after 2 eps of lies Margot says that she knew all along that Juliette didn't kill anyone, and just another ep after that Juliette is after the First Kill, happy strong and without even hiding it and noone from the family asked who the heck she killed, only to be revealed at the 7/8 ep that she buried the body and Margot being shocked at the stupid idea. LIKE WTF!!! Idk if I just ask for too much logical behavior from a YA tv show after all those Riverdales and Gossip Girl and whatnots but jesus the parents are supposed to be old vampires !!!! HAVE SOME INTELLECT!!!
If you can turn off your brain maybe youll survive this.
So I got through the entire season for them to get together and the main action was all in different places......... awesome.
I think the whole finale would make more impact if the villain was introduced in 1st/2nd season, even for a scene or two to show us that there is a bigger boss. We were just left season after season with scarier monsters but I just didn't make the connection between Vecna and them. Its just random that while sending him to the upside down world with the monsters already existing, Eleven made a way for them and Vecna just happens to be on the same level as them, not a boss and not someone they could eat I think. The series didn't show much to think otherwise. It would be great to feel the need to understand every little thing to connect the boss to everything, not at 4th season which while almost entirely premiered at the same time and you didn't need to think, just get through episodes.
Almost all the crew was "dying" soooo long for Vecna to have a slow speech to Eleven and for Eleven to found her braveness again... also I hate when suddenly the plot is saying 'you hurt one you hurt all the bad guys' x.x
And also the plan which all of others thought is not going to work, worked, and they almost didn't need Eleven.... well.
Idk, maybe this show isn't for me but it still has the thing that interests me. I just cannot with the characters. I barely like Steve, I liked Max in the beginning, not now. I like Eleven for her powers only nowadays. So this season almost got none of it. I'm just staying for monsters and Upside Down world so it seems next season will be it for me, but I also thought every time that the next season will be amazing/better than the previous so idk really anymore.
I also liked the new characters more than the old ones and I wished for the new guys to live more than the old ones.... hmmm.
I see that this time 10 ep of the season is as stupid and annoying as was 10th in the 4th season (and 11th so I have yet to see 5x11)
If anyone yet didn't believe Octavia is crazy.... they do believe now. Like it was said in 4th season, who is a warrior without a war? So ofc she does everything to have a war. Well she pretty much started all of it. I love the original idea of Wonkru but don't kid yourself, Octavia doesn't really want people to survive. She doesn't care about the amount of ppl under her rule. She kills them after only speaking to her not right and the whole rule 'be the last' is riddiculous as at the end she makes the decision if the person lives or fights again. It isn't the Grounder way, it's the Octavia way who thinks she's a Grounder but doesn't really act as such. And she "loved" playing a Grounder before. So no, I won't believe she became a Grounder (so as I loved Lexa I should forgive Octavia as she follows Grounder rules) as most of the rules are hers, she is responsible. And also killing the defectors even if they were just thinking about defecting... in 6 years they've lost 1/3 of the people, so in another 12 they would pretty much loose all. In doesn't seem anything have changed after they were out of the bunker and I somehow don't see them having babies to make the numbers greater. Noone even thought about it? Really?
OMG it was so dumb as the Wonkru immediately after knowing Octavia lied to them were against her and in the next scene they were immediately again on her side like lying and burning down the crops didn't happen. I have never seen (even in cult members) such stupidity. 5 mins of screen time, nothing was achnowledged after that. Why it was even done? Only to see yet another scene of Octavia losing her shit? Does anyone who writes this stuff even think what they are writing? This was the stupidest thing they have ever written in this show. W.T.F.
I was very disappointed after 5 eps but there was no way I wouldn't finish the season but I'm still disappointed tho not that much.
Plus:
- new or previously unknown aspects of powers (hoped it would be for everyone or more of them than two but I guess Victor had his revelation in season 2 maybe the rest will have in the next seasons)
- bonding of sibling which previously hated eachother (Luther and Vanya) or more or less barely speak to eachother (Diego and Allison) tho very brief I need to mention it
- I like that we're getting more psychology of Reginald also seeing that Reginald isn't so bad/powerful and isn't the one who made their lives like they are, as the new family ended up mostly different it just makes me think Umbrella Academy just let him be as he was (which doesn't make them good for not drugging him or bad for putting up with his abuse)
- Idk I just love this hotel
- I like dark Allison, her powers don't do much to make her a boss bitch but this could be it
- Allison/Victor fight was THE FRICKING BEST SCENE. Omg I love when they're together but I also love when they're fighting.
Minus:
- I never expected neither sth bad from this season or sth greater that last seasons, i wanted same fun and all but it seems like there is so much less comedy this season. Maybe bc they as me are used to pretty much anything up this point.
- Previously I think everyone from the family had a story to get through, in season one and two from the beginning, here it seems the only one with some personal plot are Luther, Victor and Diego, with Allison having sth here and there thrown without consistency
- the whole Diego has a son thing is annoying and without any sense whatsoever, I really hoped watching ep 6 itll be already revealed as a joke and the boy disappears from the story. EDIT: so it was a joke, well... not greatly executed, it lasted toooooooo long and wasnt believable at all bc they didn't explained anything, why it was 12 years for her or why dindt she tell Diego before. Im confused why having it in the show, the reason which Lila after everything revealed wasn't enough at all. They also forgot about the boy death so quickly I forgot about him as well.
- I think Umbrella's family is even more stupid than last seasons, the most infuriating example was when Allison came looking for Claire. Firstly, it was stated that they had to change the future bc well Sparrow Academy and they were discussing that they might be themselves here in this future so going for her daughter could mean at least shes going to see herself and probably fight with herself in front of the daughter (not a good thing) or the daughter could not even exist bc they know for sure they werent growing up in Umbrella and didnt make the same choices so how her daughter could even exist?! I understand shes a mother she had to see but OMG dont walk into the house in the middle of the night!!!!!!! I'm not a genius but at least stay away and see who the f lives in the house. It's why I couldn't feel for her at all which made this scene pointless.
- I understand the ship Allison/Luther was a scandalous (?) one but I sort of liked it, then she met Ray and he really wasn't that great as she remembers him in this season so her pining over him just makes me annoyed. He was from the 60s through and through and she has a mind of a 21century black woman, that's not gonna end well in those times so after all of season 3 I dont understand why she couldn't bring him to 21 century.
- The Sparrow family has so much cooler powers in a way of battle so in each battle with Umbrella Academy I couldn't believe Sparrows won't win so when they didn't from various reasons I was again annoyed and confused. Their whole lives they were practicing for battles and they're so bad at them (maybe the first one was the only one they showed some thinking)
- OMG Ben (and Marcus as well) is so dumb, focusing so much on hating and blaming everything on Umbrella even when its so OBVIOUS its not them. I cannot...
- the plot with their mothers had so much potential. E.g. if they saw they would be so much more miserable with their lives not as Umbrella Academy, one of them killed their parents, someone's a terrorist, someone's used by their parents, feared, in an asylum... I think it wouldn't be a tough thing to create a different explanation for another apocalypse. It would be so easy after knowing their surnames to check where are they now, which could lead to them knowing how would they be without Reginald... and it couldn't be a long plot even... ehhh, I was so hoping for that while waiting for 3rd season.
- lila's powers still not being explained, the new thing we know is that she refers to it as mimicking others so why the heck she could use Sloane's powers when she just saw her by the window and she wasn't even using her power?! I also never understood how she could use the powers so well and know how to use the powers sometimes better than the one living with them their whole lives. As I would understand she mimics what she sees other do with the powers and be limited to only know what she saw, even immediately without practicing but for her to just see a normal person standing and somehow know what power does she have and how to use it? And know what to do with the power that the original one doesn't know it could be done? And yet I am to believe she can lose to anyone and be at the same level as Luther or Allison's powers which are constantly referred to as inferior?
- Most of the family doesn't use their powers or does it scarcely, like Allison and Luther (and even Ben) use it couple times without much effect, Klaus use it once but differently and I dont thing Diego used it more than once.
- yet again Victor's powers getting an upgrade which makes the rest of the family expendable, like Allison at this point... why is her power even significant to be liked by fans (in the show when they had their figurines and all)? It never became as great as it was depicted in the finale of season one or 1st ep of season two when the whole family was fighting and she could control many people at once. Even the last scenes when she used it on Reginald it didn't even work so how could it be so 'wow'?
- the whole last episode was so disappointing! They used the whole previous ep to constantly discuss if they should wait and die or die trying to save the world, OVER AND OVER the whole ep was a pointless discussion and then the last ep we were going to have battles, a teaser to the next season and they still had so much to talk over. It couldn't be done in one ep. The battles became so easy so the only thing to prolong them was to use 'jumpscare' moments for characters to even get hurt so we could feel some anxiety, and boom all guards are dead. The scene after that didn't have the time to be more explained and it all left me with anger and questions why so much of 3rd season's plot was pointless and forgettable and the things that should be the greatest from all of the season had the least time to be so.
FRUSTRATION!
How the f this movie was so bad?!! First WW was amazing and this.... this was all like a fanfic really. The only thing that this movie brought to the story is that Diana can finally fly.
The fights were bad, the story was worse. No sense. Chronologically incorrect. Dianas wardrobe mostly wasn't from the 80s but she somehow didnt stood up for everyone. It seems she works at the same Museum as she was in Batman v Superman so more than 30 years ...
I knew from the moment they revealed that this movie will be between the first WW and Batman v Superman that it wont have any sense. Batman said that Diana was detached from ppl bc from the WWI she wasnt going out as a superhero, he could find a picture of her from WWI but he didnt find anything from that moment. And I believe in Batmans powers for looking up ppl. And how bad explanation it is that the first thing Wonder Woman does when she sees a bad situation is looking for cameras and destroying them. Like come on!
And WHY the CGI was so freaking bad?!!!! From the beginning till like 2/3 of the movie CGI was more and more just looking raw!
The great legend with the greatest armor and the wings came for a second to be destroyed in the same scene. OMG WHAT A CRINGE.
The only thing that could save this movie was Diana waking up at the end and saying what a weird dream it was.
I am a fan of strong women, I am a fan of Wonder Women. I hope I will forget this movie exists.
I stuck with the show for mostly medical stuff but at this point its like 3rd season i just watch it for maybe two couples. They bringing new faces but I barely care about Maggie and she came here in like 8th or 9th season. I still love Mer, dont understand most of her choices... I am starting to like Hayes but he doesnt have much screen time which is a pity bc most stuff from Jo and Teddy could be removed easily. Jo and a baby is still a ridiculous plot. Give Bailey all the kids in the world. Well at least I loved Kai from basically the first scene so Im glad that they may stuck a little longer although I love Amelia with all her flaws and shes the one to accept all the things the world has too offer (eg. all the color of the rainbow) but Im afraid shes gonna scar Kai with her very heavy luggage.
Ale the other things and ppl I didnt mention arent worth mentioning. Maggies character stopped developing at 12th season when she out of the blue started liking Megan ex bf (i liked him tho but the heck I cannot remember his name) but from them on she stopped being golden child and became romance driven so much that its hard remembering she Chief of Cardio not a resident. Jo should pretty much be gone with Alex, they really dont have any plan for her character, tossing her whatever scraps in order to make her feel like she does sth but she istnt.
Idk, Shonda should really toss out half of the characters and maybe focus on the remaining for ppl not to feel like you have one scene per ep that makes you interested during it but then she would have to create some meaningful stories which she didnt do for many years now.
I hate the change of the pace of this season. They try so hard to keep up with Grey's Anatomy when GA has 24 eps and Station 19 has 16. It's not working. We lack so much context like when Jack and Andy decide to LOOK for apartments to live together and in the next episode in a scene Jack goes to Andy's room finding out she's not there. So they fastforwarded to them looking for apartments, finding one, moving in and starting to live together. As well as in one ep Pruitt starts the convo on marriage with Andy and Sullivan and the next ep we have IN RETROSPECTION they talking seriously about it and Pruitt giving away Andy to Sullivan. I love this show, this season more that GA even and it pisses me so much that most of the story I have to seek between the lines!
The relationship between Jackson and Vic was even worsly done, you had to watch ep by ep interlacing GA with Station 19 (which I didn't do bc I never do such things, I watch couple eps in bunk) to understand what's happening ... I was so fucking confused it wasn't even funny.
Make the damn decision to have 24 eps in Station 19 or don't try to make the time of the eps the same!
After 2 eps:
There is no way I'm waiting a week for an ep that lasts barely 30 min. This is the stupidest sh** entertainment does with fantasy/sci-fi. What can you get during 30 min? Definitely not a proper story.
I'm only watching this bc I like couple actors (I just watched them in sth else and I wanted to see more of them, I barely know them tho).
Amandla I saw only in The darkest Minds, which I loved and her role got me into reading the books, I have some of her movies on watchlist still. I could believe her two roles here BUT... some of her mannerisms got me so out of the story and for 2 eps I couldnt get past it. Sometimes the way she walks is like not one foot after the other but like she had a stick between the knees xD And sometimes when she stands, her body above the waits is so forced to be forward before the legs it looks so weird. Idk if it's just something she thought would work for the charcters or what happened...
I'm not gonna say anything about Charlie... well, I hope it's actually Yord that is so awkward and supposed-to-be-but-not-really-funny.
And I really like Master Sol, cool to see Lee Jung-Jae in a different role. I was invested in ex teacher-ex student relationship which is what will keep my interest in waiting for the season to finish so I could watch it whole.
i stopped hoping for anything with this show just bc of disinterest but well when i do... the writes just keep doing the opposite, mainly i think bc they love keeping the OGs (i mean the characters who are here many seasons, not from beginning) the longest they can so they drag and drag everything with unnecessary drama to after many seasons finally get them together. I'm sure they gonna drag down the Jo/Link relationship as they did with Owen/Altman (never fan of them but the will they/wont they were their only nice moments even dragged to eternity for it being boring as hell just the second they got together), I wanted sth fresh. Jo had a nice chemistry with the patient although it already started to be a little too much.
I soo miss Andrew DeLuca. I cannot fathom who can like Nick, he is so blant.... maybe its just really Mer getting older and I cant understand but the last time she felt alive was during the good times with Andrew :(
Also, the plane scene was funny for me bc i completely didnt get PTSD from the great plane crash of GA bc i didnt care about any of the characters in the plane. They made me disinterested in my last light in the tunnel which was Amelia.
That's shocking for me to say but I'll be watching the 20th season for the new guys. Adams is cute and the Reign actress with my fav Shadowhunters character? I need to see more of them. Tho they seem to lack depth in comparison to the wedding girl which has the most screen time i think.
I just rewatched the original and immediately watched whole GQ season. I love the fact that it made me really like Bette for the first time, never even liked her. I didn't like Alice but in her case it didn't change... yet. She had couple moments when I was at least interested. I see the potential in new characters but noone stand out for me to be liked. I wasn't really interestend in their stories tho I liked the relations with the old cast. I really want more of that. The bar could be a nice place for them to be all in one place.
I sooooooooooo wanted Carmen. There are no words how bad I wanted her BUT... I really like Quiara and Shane's moments. Im at the crossroads bc I would love to see their relationship from beginning, I know I would love them so hard but I didn't see it so it's hard to ship them as I don't know Quiara or their relationship. So I still want Carmen and Shane tho Shane really loves Quiara and I don't want to see Carmen for one scene or for one hook up. I need them as endgame.
All things considering... It was a nice season.
