This sucked. The rest of the season better be better.... I love Ncuti. And have been super excited even after the dismal Ruby Road troll thing. But this was both disgusting and too childish. Maybe Disney involvement is ruining the messaging that Whovians are accustomed to. This came off as made for children rather than the fan base. I hope it gets better.
What the fuck is this?
It had the two things I hate the most: bad writing and crying children.
People were happy to get Russel T Davies back.
I didnt expect the opening episode of the season to be as bad as the worst stuff put out by Chinball or Moffatt.
Well that was a complete waste of time. Nothing happens after episode 5. They should’ve ended the season at episode 5
Great "Guy Ritchie" series. Top class with many twists and turns everywhere. Some good humour and banter. The ending to the season is perfect, I hope there is a season 2. :thumbsup_tone1:
boring as chuck , marvel has so much money and don't know what to do
Am I the only one who is sad we didn't get a flashback to Budapesh with Hawkeye? Really a missed opportunity Marvel!! Also thought it would be more of an origin story than what it actually turned to be. The action was nice and everything but still I'm disappointed
Well the finale was bad. They did do the death of Margaret but nothing about Philip or Elizabeth? Like they lived happily ever after? They could've handled the final episodes so much better. Really sad about the missed opportunity. The series was great but it deserved a way better ending
Last episodes don't have enough Henry Cavill in them!! Always loved the Witcher but it seemed hasted and rushed. Will continue to watch to see how it end. But Henry Cavill will always be my Witcher! Sorry not sorry Liam
This movie is like the last Thor.. A bunch of friends (and A Heard) gathered to have fun and in the process trying to make a movie. The story is weak, the acting is questionable, it's shot badly and there is no colors what so ever for a movie in the sea. Jason is "playing" himself in the suit of Aquaman, Amber and Nicole Kidman are barely there (i am not complaining about Heard but the way they "handle" it is comical), There is no budget for William Dafoe, jokes are not landing. The villain is the worst in the history of the villains in the first movie, but here is just sad. SPOILER Arthur beats him up every time he sees him. Manta is always running from him (barely escaping) and I am suppose to be scared from him or for Aquaman? Really? Really? He has to die in the first 20 minutes when he discovered the forgotten kingdom and leave a space for a new villain that the movie hyped for us for 2h and kill after literally one breath of air been alive. The dumbest thing ever END OF SPOILERS
Handy we can always keep DT on call if it doesn't work. However the new doctor got off on a good start. Also loved NPH in it he's always amazing. It should've lasted longer haha. Can't wait for the next one
I’m sorry but that ish was boring as fxck
This is a very weird movie, but not by its content. Hard to tell whether it was worth watching.
Visually it's nice, extremely clean and ordered. But 90% of what happens has absolutely no interest. Family picnic. Wife showing the garden to her mother. Some random conversations. Dictation of work letters. Administrative work. It is very boring, soporific even.
The only interest comes from knowing who those people are and the whole context, and the contrast with the banality of their lives, with the clinical simplicity of administrative decisions.
The whole camp is hidden behind a wall. There is just a background noise, far away, muffled, some cries, some gunshots. And the chimneys smoke.
Among what is banal but extremely shocking by the context:
- The mother complaining she could not get her neighbour's curtains.
- The commander getting a new post, but her wife complaining about losing her garden
- The sales pitch of the new generation crematorium
- Being so happy that the plan is named after him that he calls his wife in the middle of the night
- Ashes used as fertilizer in the garden
The only small moments that acknowledge the violence are:
- the wife, upset, threatening the maid that she could have her incinerated just like that
- the commander having a young girl sent to his office
- in the commanders meeting, the word "extermination" is said once, but all the rest is just logistics and quotas
At the end, a cutscene shows people cleaning the camp, and it takes a while to realize they are cleaning the current day Auschwitz museum, I guess showing the continuity of mundane tasks in all circumstances.
So in the end, this is definitely a work of art that succeeds in what it's trying to achieve. However the boringness is what makes it special, and you can't avoid the fact that it is mostly boring. Not to watch when sleepy or tired.
Great starting.
Whoever didn't catch the Sarah Connor line from the actual man himself should be banned from the site!
This was so heart wrenching. Well done!
they really just gonna keep Michael Mando's name in the credits and give me some dumb faint hope he makes a guest appearance huh
Hey, I really wish they'd shown Navarro's visions were from water contamination, to tie it to the case, but it seems the mysticism was just for kicks, to fool us and give us a scare.
Checking fingerprints on the trapdoor after all that chaos with visions, someone falling into water, finding out it was the female indigenous milita lol, and then dropping it felt a bit random.
Anyway, wasn't what I expected but kinda liked it. Haven't seen the second or third season, so can't compare, but first one's still the best.
And see you later, Liz and Navarro.
(Sorry for my English)
Honestly the fact that we only have 5 episodes left now makes me wanna stab myself in the foot (but it's fine, I'm fine).
I loved seeing Dichen Lachman again, this time sans scars and homocidal tendencies. I really hope she and Daisy will get to interact when she shows up again. Also, when she called Cora her daughter... I assume she meant that in a spiritual sense rather than biological, but still, Daisy Johnson has left the chat.
YoYo and May are just a delightful duo. I love that they decided to use sparring as a way for Elena to get in touch with her feelings. And I guess she's just a regular speedster now? That's neat, I always thought the bouncing back thing was a tad lame. They could've done that a little earlier on in the show though, just saying.
FitzSimmons never catch a break. They've beaten the odds so many times, from being stuck on the ocean floor and running out of air to Jemma getting transported to an alien planet to Fitz becoming kinda evil and then literally dying... And the writers keep finding new ways to separate them and tug at our heartstrings. I swear, if these two don't end up in some cottage in Scotland with three children and a dog...
Speaking of romantic relationships, they want us to ship Daisy and Sousa, right? Otherwise, why would they make a point of Daisy telling Coulson that she's glad Daniel's with them? What other explanation is there for that scene with Sousa dutifully sitting down by the healing chamber to watch over Daisy while she got her rest? I'm torn because I like that pairing a lot - it totally came out of left field for me, but I'm loving it - but Enver Gjokaj is only listed on IMDb through episode 10, which I realize might not mean anything and he could very well stick around until the finale, but I don't wanna get my hopes up in case he actually does leave at some point. But like I said, why would they give them so many scenes together with so much romantic subtext if they weren't going in that direction?
Can Daisy just kick Nathaniel's ass already? I hate seeing him with her powers. They are a part of her in a way that he could never fully understand or hope to achieve. They're embedded in her DNA while his came from a syringe. I hope we get to see Daisy unleash a completely new level of destruction when she finally confronts him. Tear the bitch apart, babe!
Next week we're going to have a Groundhog Day timeloop situation with Daisy and I am LIVING for it. I loved it when Legends of Tomorrow did it and I can't wait to see the SHIELD version.
And now it's time for what might be my favorite episode of the show:
4x15 "Self Control"
When I said I SCREAMED while watching this... Season 4 is my favorite season and the sheer power of this episode is absolutely unmatched. Fitz and Simmons trying to figure out which one of them was an LMD was easily one of their top 3 tragic scenes and one of the best acted of the entire show. The range of emotions they both went through in a single scene was insane. The general consensus in the fandom seems to be that Iain is the best actor on the show, which I agree with, but Elizabeth is right up there with him. If either one of them were a lesser actor, that scene and FitzSimmons in general would never have worked. The way they bounce off of each other so beautifully is what made the magic happen. And aside from that, we got all that wonderful Daisy and Jemma content (their friendship gets overlooked so often it's not even funny, so the whole Framework arc and "us against the world" gave me life). Also robot May sacrificing herself. This episode >>>>>>> literally all the MCU movies (and I say that as someone who really likes the movies, but Endgame wishes it had half the emotional impact of this masterpiece).
Although it wasn't truly a reboot of the show it was awesome to watch, i really liked it and i hope they will make more of it. At first i was sad that they didn't do a reboot like the show we grew up with, but this is kinda so much better cause most of the reboots never make it to the originals feeling. I do miss Luke in all of this, think it would've been more awesome if he was still alive.
Michael Mando deserves at least a nomination for this season... damn, what a great job - physically and mentally
Breathtakingly beautiful film. The first three quarters have familiar beats but they never get tiring leading to a pinnacle of a last quarter that absolutely broke me. Ends in a picture perfect “happily ever after”, which, for critics, could have been a gripe. But I don’t know who deserves the “happily ever after” more than these characters.
Please watch this beautiful film. If you have anything bad to say about it after, you’ll have to get by me first.
Timothee Chalamet absolutely won over my heart with this one. When I was growing up I loved both renditions of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so when I heard they were making a prequel I was definitely intrigued. This was everything my heart could want and more, the songs were sombre and bittersweet - like something out of your childhood dreams. The acting was good, corny at times, but it was the sheer wittiness that gave this film its charm. I would definitely recommend checking this out.
I have one word for this show: "masterpiece".
It's truly amazing, the acting, the story, wow, just wow. One of my favorite shows.
If you enjoyed "The Godfather" movies, you will surely enjoy this show. A must watch.
I'm loving this new doctor who and Ruby. Really laughed at the end. Hope spring will be here soon. It's been a while since I've been excited for doctor who. Thanks Russel for coming back!
Bit of Midnight, bit of The Satan Pit, bit of The Almost People. Bonkers Who is back, inject it into my veins.
Long and kind of boring.
Good performances but that’s about all that can say.
Not sure what the fuss is about.
5/10
