Hated it.
As simple as that.
Terrible way to take the series to. I mean it's not as bad as the prequels, because the acting is quite all right, but it hits so many bullshit moments where I was facepalming every other scene it's unbelievable.
Really poorly written. Can't believe there were so many predictable moments and moments filled with complete and utter pathos. So, so dissappointed.
This too early to have a filler episode. Waste of an hour. Watch the first 5 mins and last 5 mins. Rest has zero value to story progression.
Contains major spoilers !!!!!
Huge and utterly dissapointing. After TFA I said this movie would make or break the story. For me it broke.
Where to begin? Let´s start with my biggest problem.
After that rebel cruisers bridge was hit and Leia was thrown into space we saw her drifting in the cold empty vacuum of space. This was a powerful scene and I had tears welling up in my eyes thinking that would be a great ending for the character dying how she always lived. Fighting. I did not realise, or care, that it would have been a huge coincidence had they written this scene at that point not knowing Carrie would pass away. But as I said powerful scene. And then she opens her eyes and floated back into the ship still beeing alive. At that point I was seriously considering leaving the cinema. It´s scifi but, please, without as much as a hint of an explanation that is just awful writing. It is Disney all over it. Anyway I stayed and watched the rest but in general I was done with the movie.
There are tons of other things I didn´t like.
way to much unnessesary and stupid humor. Most of the time it does not fit and just destroys scenes. Holding for General Hux - that might have been OK once but two or three times it just becomes goofy. And there is more of this througout the movie.
the writing was all over the place. So much things going on that do little to nothing for the general plot and just add playtime. Like that whole thing with the codebreaker, going to the casino. Just sugarcoating CGI.
and speaking of playtime - way too long. About five times towards the end I thought it was over. It could have ended when the reached the rebel base- no let´s add another battle. When they realised they where trapped. With Luke going out to face Kylo. At some point I would have been OK with the movie ending with the First Order defeating the rebels, everyone dying, and the franchise done with. But of course that is not happening and the movie ends.....no, just show us a kid with a broom looking at the stars and indicate he could be the hero of a future movie.
in many ways the continuation of storylines is not satisfiying. They introduce Snoke in the first movie without an explanation who he is, where he comes from and how he got there. Would have been OK, could have done later. So now he´s dead without so much as a fight and there are questions left to be answered.
what about Rey ? Are we really to believe her parents were some drunk and drifting scavengers that sold her for money like Ren said ? That would be very stupid because how in the universe could she master the Force in ways even the best Jedis or Sith couldn´t without as much as years of training. Another void in the storytelling.
too many, shall I call them, homage scenes ? A lot of times I felt I had already seen this movie. The scene in the throne room f.e. Snoke = Emperor, Rey = Luke, Ben = Vader, the destruction of the rebel fleet playing in the background and the Ben killing Snoke is like Vader killing the Emperor. I know that was said about TFA as well but I feel it´s much worse here. The Battle of Hoth reviseted would be another thing where they re-did some scenes to a T. All that was left was tow cables.
Those are just some examples of the things I disliked and maybe there could be satisfactory explanation later. There is a lot more but it would take too much time to write it down. But I doubt I will go to the cinema for the next one.
To be fair there where some positives in this movie.
I liked the scenes with Rey and Luke althought they did not really lead anywhere. But some nice insights into Lukes story after ROTJ.
The conversations between Kylo and Rey where very interesting and I thought there was really potential to steer the story to something new and exciting. Not happening.
So overall I was not satisfied. I really like TFA, it built some expectations that where all crushed with this. As far as I am concerned I am done with this new story. I am not not very eager to find out what else the canibalise and how they try to write themselves out of this. There is nothing left.
This is my view of the movie. If you liked it I´m happy for you.
May the Force be with us. Always.
A few minutes in and Iron Fist / Danny Rand is already getting on my nerves.
It went amazingly fast. I did not see that hour go by. What a great episode!
The day that Ben Affleck stops being Batman is the day that Batman comes back to become the best superhero films of all. This guy with 0 acting skills is destroying it. Too many awesome films before him to let it pass.
Loved the whole intro!
Joel awesome!
Ellie does the job! So far so good… so excited for the rest of the series
what a stupid show. Hollywood/Disney outdid themselves on showing their stupidity on this one . waste of file time and money.
Very disappointed so far. Seems like they just threw a bunch of ideas at the wall hoping something stuck. Four episodes in and didn't care to finish
"happiness Only Real When Shared"
Best ending quote ever heard in movies
If anyone is wondering why this is a lovefest for this terrible episode, just know that trakt is actively deleting any negative comments. Even ones that aren't in anyway offense. I know because it happened to me, and has been happening more and more lately.
As my previous comment mentioned, This was a poor filler episode.
I got to say that I have not been mind fucked by a movie like that in such a long time..
It is the kind of movie that mid way you would say "I do not understand anything", and by the end of the movie you would say.. "Fucking Hell, Now I get it. I Wish I didn't but I do"
I am just scared from the way that they keep upping the plot twists and endings of movies that at some point in time you would be watching a movie and then you would realize that it has all been a trick and that you are actually not watching a movie at all..
Another thing that below me away through out the movie was the performance of Sarah Snook. While still not over her creepy performance in Jessabelle. She really took me by surprise with her performance.. I have not seen before someone who can say so much with just their eyes.. I can tell that the 28 year old Aussie is going places after this..
On Rotten Tomatoes, The film has a "certified fresh" score of 82% based on 71 reviews with an average rating of 6.8 out of 10.
The critical consensus states "Fun genre fare with uncommon intelligence, Predestination serves as a better-than-average sci-fi adventure and offers a starmaking turn from Sarah Snook."
On Metacritic The film also has a score of 68 out of 100 based on 22 critics, indicating "generally favourable reviews"
If you are ready to be mind blown all the way, watch it but make sure to not miss anything cause it will add to the inevitable sense of "What the fuck was that? that you already going to get when you watch it attentively.
Great ending to the best season of hard sci-fi TV we've had in years. The show is only getting better, I'm sure its new home at Amazon will help make it more visible to wide audiences too.
I dont like it. Why Bill is dead? This is The Last of Us not a romantic gay spin off of Bill and Frank!
Really happy to see that Paramount redesigned Sonic after the trailer came out! :hugging:
Well, to be fair and to my point of view, this episode add nothing to the main story line... and I played the game.
You can fit pretty much anything between Joel and Ellie segment and it would have done the same.
Glad for those who enjoyed it. Personaly, I did not.
The title of this episode was on point! It was too long and the pace too slow for my taste. I really hope to see something else in the next episodes.
overlong
boring
cheesy
cringe
Cheetah looked like an extra from Cats The Musical
Diana's golden armour was goofy as hell
most of the action came across as stupid and funny
And finally .... it’s over!
Addressing ethical issues and questions regarding one's individuality was very trekkie. At some point I even felt as if I was watching a Star Trek episode. Then they managed to add the (mandatory) humour without making things go bonkers or tacky. I was honestly impressed by this episode. The humour, sci-fi, drama, all different aspects of the show seem to be finally blending well together.
The first couple or episodes got me curious, but this one got me hooked. Now I definitely want to see where this show is going (probably where no man has gone before).
I did not see that plot twist coming at all. I'm actually kind of mad at myself, I feel like I should've figured it out. Nevertheless, it was so damn good! DeVoe is the best villain this show's ever had.
It's kind of hilarious that Caitlin can't escape Killer Frost who's suddenly become Central City's new hero. That feeling when your evil alter ego is more popular than you are. Also, Amunet gives amazing pep talks for a villain. And her green lipstick was bitchin'.
I'll be honest, I totally forgot about Ralph. I mean, he wasn't in the crossover. I kind of go back and forth between being annoyed by him and liking him. He has his moments. What he did at the end of the episode was really nice.
Oh my. Barry is being framed for murder with a knife, just like his dad. Ouch. Right in the feels.
I guess that's it for 2017, huh? Happy Holidays, everybody! See you in a month!
My favorite thing about this episode was recognizing locations from lost.
I Think I skipped about 40 minuets of this Episode, I really hope there are no more like this absolute tripe !
Completely SKIPABLE. OUT OF CONTEXT EPISODE. WORSE CASE OF WOKEISM ON TV. NO ZOMBIES, NO PLOT, NO SCRIPT JUST 2 GAY DUDES :joy:. 2/10 RATING
unbelievable bad. This is simply the worst of all Westworld episodes. Generic at its finest. Also, It has bad writing, bad direction, annoying characters, no relevant addition to the main story and so on.
"I know who you are". Well, it's about time you tell us! Last episode's cliffhanger was savage. 19 episodes already and we still have not seen who he is, except his legs. Lots of theories in my head and here I am, biting my nails over and over again. That ending was cruel. Sometimes I think the writers just hate us. Siting there of the sofas patting their cat pets with a grin smile on their face. They have hyped us so much that whatever reveal they have in mind, whoever he is, I got the vibe that somehow it's going to be a bit disappointing.
a compelling and paced opening that doesnt deliver in the back end. the acting is solid the writing and directing are okay. until the movie can't stall any longer and is forced to try to do something with what build up it has. then it stumbles and falters to a finish.
This series was utterly disappointing. But, on the bright side, Iron Fist is no longer the worst Marvel television series.
Sorry. But you still alive in this world and you don’t even know that you always give headshots against these kind of things???
