Title says it! After Gal Gadot, J.Lo... now it's Jessica Alba who gets her own crap Netflix original, gotta pay those bills. There's a few slightly entertaining action sequences in here and Alba is an ok lead actress for this type of movie but it's all so uninspired, forgettable and generic. Dumb story, gets too quiet in some parts for an action movie, nothing visually stimulating, generic score, too long, and most of all boring.
so far (2 episodes), a very boring series. Disney is trying to squeezes every penny they can get from star wars...
Very promising start. And a really good cast!
Sato’s quick peace sign in the middle of a super tense scene absolutely killed me :joy:
Lady Gaga will smash it.. A more gritty version is needed. Margo Robbie was good but it's time to go darker..
Hopefully the Portuguese characters aren't well represented
How can people vote this an average of 55 ish while Mr. & Mrs. Smith is 75?
8 mins in and it’s the insufferable Samantha being selfish per usual. Maybe she has her father’s ways more than she thinks. Religious people tend to know how to manipulate everyone around them for their own personal gain.
Now you’re roping Jake into drugs lol
Lets have a secret police meeting after leaving Tozawa building in a see through glass restaurant lol that seems safe
I’m sorry but I’m not using my money to bail you out of your stupid mistake and I’m not even sure this whole thing is even legit
Told you lol . is it bad i dont feel bad for Samantha?
I honestly couldn't care less about Polina or even Sam. This subplot with them is always the worst part of the episodes.
very clever play by katagiri
Of course Sam shows up at Jake’s place. All she does is use every man in her life. I’m over her at this point. In the beginning I’m sure we all routed for her and Jake to be together but I’m glad it never happened now. Her and Sato deserve each other and even he’s starting to see she’s just a user.
Any part of an episode where i dont have to see Samantha is a good part
What is it with every sucking so hard on these cigarettes lol
Routing for Jake & Eimi.
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Sato: I want it that way ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I did not read the books, and I did not play any of the games (although I heard at least one of the games is of great quality in storytelling) so I went into this show more or less a blank slate.
And boy it is bad.... The writing is just dreadful. I think the writers assumed prior knowledge to the world and characters, and lean on that assumption too heavily.
From the very beginning it is poorly written. Timelines are messy and unclear, exposition is done terribly, worldbuilding looked like an afterthought and taken from a first draft, the pacing is all over the place and inconsistent over time as well inconsistent for each subplot. Episode structure is even irratic. They presented us a continuous story, but several episodes focused more on little episodic adventures that did not impact the main storyline all that much. And for a show with only 8 episodes, that is deadly and lead to other stories being rushed or simply put on hold for the next season (I assume.)
Toward the middle of the show, it started to get a bit better and I thought it could be promising after a bit rocky start, but in the end they could not deliver and it turned into an utter and complete trainwreck (oh that last episode, I almost fell out of my chair several times from disbelieve.) Rushed plot resolutions, while other characters stories crawled to a complete standstill with close to no progression or character development, in somecases even for the whole season.
What the show does have going for it: Photography, sets and costume design are beautiful!
I really did not want to dislike this, but it looked like they actively tried to make me stop watching.
Note: This review is about season 1.
If you enjoy good storytelling, quality world building and interesting characters you will not find anything of the sort in this show.
7/10 if we get more horse sex.
Is this a terrible joke?
Let me rephrase. Whether this is true or not, it's a terrible joke.
This is plain f#*kin stupid! Trakt is losing all grip on reality. 2 isn't released until the end of the year, and if it's a box office flop, which it will be, then it's game over and Trakt is listing 5? Does anyone at Trakt actually see this shit, or is it just a bot gone wild?
I was surprised by how much I liked this. I went in with low expectations of just a dumb action movie, which it still kinda is, but it is also a decent sci-fi and the action is pretty great. The beginning is a little slow but once Grey gets Stem then it picks up. Logan Marshall-Green (or better known as the Tom Hardy look-alike, Tom Hardly) does a good job here. He moves like a robot pretty well. The action is great. There are plenty of action scenes and the short runtime makes it move fast. There are a few decent laughs too. The cinematography was very interesting too. The way the camera moves in certain action scenes are really cool, it makes a normal scene stick out as something special. One of the best things was the world it set up. Modifying humans with different upgrades is really cool. The whole gun in the arm is stupid but a crazy, cool stupid and I want to see more of that. I would like a sequel.
Why the fuck would you rate something which is still not aired 8? Its a stupid thing too but i kinda get the 1 and 10.(haters and big fans) But 8? I mean why?
pleasantly surprised I thought it was going to be be very teen orientated however story and action makes me want to see what's in store
I wasn't expecting much from this but ended up really enjoying it, it was extremely dark but funny at the same time, how some people have said that it wasn't realistic baffles me ,do they actually think that Batman etc are actually real ?
Great ending to the season. However, the plot didn’t make much sense. Beck brothers are crazy rich & I’m sure they didn’t become rich by being stupid. So why would they be so dumb as to kidnap the grandson. And why does everyone hate Jamie so much...
