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.
UPDATE: I saw a movie so beautiful I started crying™
Stop rating movies before you even know they are in production!!!
Really poorly written. Can't believe there were so many predictable moments and moments filled with complete and utter pathos. So, so dissappointed.
Not allowed to do a review yet but I'll say this:
This is how you do a superhero movie.
This is how you do a war movie.

So it went just like the book. I loved it! Be sure to watch after credits, it has two scenes, Amma killing the girls, and the new friend who got very fond of Camille, and her as the woman in white in the park, that they don't explain, but amma was dressed as Artemis in the book cuz she been rehearsing a play in school. And she kills because as her mother she and her sister she is crazy and is obsessed with attention and been taken care of, and hated the idea of her mother being friends with the two girls. It explains why se run away when everybody stops paying attention in her at the play because of the fight that was going on. She made the hole town look for her. They don't literally explain that but is all there. Oh man, they respected the book and i loved it!!
Halloween episodes have always been extra fun in this show, but this one took the cake. Faster paced than the previous Halloween episodes, such a roller-coaster of an episode! And Jake focusing on Amy like that, instead of the yearly competition, was utterly adorable!

This show is something truly special.
After watching last week's episode, I thought Amy was written off and we would no longer see her again (seeing as she had not appeared in this season so far, it felt a bit like they were dealing with a loose end). However, she did "return" as we were treated to what other versions of David would be like, had he made different choices at certain points in his life.
This episode was quite a ride. It starts in a confusing note, taking you completely off the usual happenings of the show, but you are relatively quick to find out where you are once you get a little more information. In between David's various lives, they very subtly added events from our own David's life, I guess to show us that these were all possibilities... but then we get a "season 1 recap" and see the final moments of the previous episode again, reminding us that this is our reality.
This episode needs to be watched again to get every detail properly, but I gather that regardless of how terrible another life could be for David (from getting killed to becoming a rich prick), anything beats a reality where his sister is gone, which is incredibly sad and beautifully done.
Between this episode and the one focused on Syd's life, what a glorious show. (The Syd one is probably my favourite of all)
"Men are essential for procreation but when it comes to pleasure, unnecessary." ICONIC
Mr and Mrs Fisk.
Not quite the bang I was hoping for but it's still a great end to the season. My only problem is that it's a very 'Marvel' type ending, in how the villain is defeated and the heroes have a happy ending, but have more trouble to come with a predictable ending that reveals a new villain for next season...and also, I'm disappointed Fisk didn't die. I thought that was what the whole season was setting up, because of Matt's whole separation from faith. I really thought Matt would kill him, but he's just done the same as he did in season 1. I'm sure all the corruption won't happen again because of his love for Vanessa, but man I'll admit I'm disappointed he wasn't killed.
Anyway, as you can see from the rating, I still really enjoyed this episode. Dex finally learning that Fisk has been abusing his emotions and manipulating him was a highlight for me, as well as the the brutal fight scene at the wedding. Other things I loved about this episode was how it gave Father Lantom the send-off he deserved, and the moment the title of the episode refers to: when they decide to start the law firm again, but with Karen as one of their attorneys.
If you compared the dark and depressing premiere to this feel-good finale, you would think it was two completely different shows, but it was still very enjoyable.

I'm watching all the seasons again before the seventh, and i can assure you, it's even worse to see the red wedding for a second time.
THE EMOTIONS! ALL MIGHT! UNITED STATES SMASH! ONE FOR ALL! WHAT AN AMAZING EPISODE!!!
"- Well, we'll need some stopping power. Too much?
- Not unless you're going grocery shopping in Texas."
What an ending! They seriously need to stop arresting Jessica. It seems that she ends up in handcuffs every damn season. It's becoming a weird tradition.
I love that even in the middle of a blazing hot summer, Jessica still wears heavy boots and her leather jacket everywhere. Hey, I get it. She needs to maintain that dark aesthetic. I just think it's super funny.
Vido is such a cute kid, and I enjoy his dynamic with Jessica so much. I'm pretty meh about Oscar for now. We'll see what they do with his character.
Jeri's storyline is breaking my heart. And giving me major anxiety because I can imagine doing exactly the same if I were in her situation.
Can Pryce just fuck off already? I despise the guy.
This show is filled with heavy themes and storylines, but Jessica's fear of becoming the monster that this other lady is hit me especially hard. I was almost in tears when she kept saying "That's not me". That's what Oscar got wrong about her: she's not a misanthrope. She may not have the patience to deal with other people's bullshit, and she may not be a particularly nice person, but she wants to protect people. That's what led to her brief stint as a superhero. And after all the shit she's been through, her first instinct is still to save others. I just have a lot of feelings about Jessica Jones, okay? She deserves the world.
I have to say, mad props to the writers for never dancing around what Kilgrave did to Jess and calling it what it was: rape. Remember, kids, sex without explicit consent is always rape. It shouldn't even need to be said in goddamn 2018, but looking at what's happening in the world and everything that went down in Hollywood in the last few months, some people just still don't get it.
This was......... weirdly written.......... Somehow the characters you have never seen before get better emotional scenes than the ones you have. Holdo, who?
'Let's just fuck off somewhere.'
I need that spin-off right fucking now!
The first four episodes of this season of Agents of SHIELD have been a bit on the boring side, outside of the Fitz reveal in the last episode. This episode that takes place mostly in the current time was much more engaging and entertaining. I really enjoyed seeing the return of Lance Hunter (though, it is sad that Bobbi didn't make a comeback also).
I am a bit saddened to see that the next episode returns us to the future where things are bleak, dark and boring. This episode marks a high point for this season.
And hey, Marvel and ABC Studios, give Nick Blood's Lance Hunter his own show already. He has proven to be one of the most entertaining characters in Agents of SHIELD and things haven't been the same without him.
This has been such a good season and what an intense show! That ending?? I've been waiting to see that since Jean and Sidney started taking their ''relationship'' to the next level. Seriously hope Netflix doesn't cancel the show without a proper closing to the story.
edit: lol, so they actually canceled the show.
This is possibly the lamest crossover ever. There was so little I'm not even sure why they advertised it.
The phone conversation between Elizabeth and Henry was so sad. She barely knows him. At this point I can't see a happy ending (whatever that is) for the Jennings.
I have to say that personally, I like Will Yun Lee's performance as Takeshi Kovacs a lot more.
Joel Kinnaman does a decent job, but he's not that engaging for me.
This movie almost made me think DC was actually going to make a great movie.
ALMOST.
Wonder Woman can be summarized as a great interrupted nerd coitus.
The starting was really enjoyable, everything was going smooth as butter. Movie was fun, was interesting, was hyping as fuck. Gal Gadot is phenomenal, Chris Pine made me gay (again), Elena Anaya converted me back to being hetero... but then... the inevitable happened.
Something I was expecting all along, something I expect every-single-time a movie about a DC character gets announced.
SOMETHING - FUCKS - UP
(badly, very, very badly)
In other movies like... BVS or Suicide Squad, wait a minute... I admit it's not entirely fair comparing it with those two, considering at least Wonder Woman was a bit enjoyable for the first 2.5/4 of it.
Anywho, in this case, what bothered me a lot - interrupted nerd coitus - was the ending.
The movie transformed from a breath of fresh air to the same overbuilt, overcheesed, oversped, overfucked, overterribilized™ piece of stinking shit that DC (Or whoever fucks their characters up) accustomed us to.
Why you ask? Well... it's simple.
The major problem was in fact with the speed they clearly made the ending to be.
I can explain this with a simple equation:
Lover("I love you"+Suicide)+(Terrible cgi)=Angry Gal Gadot=God Wonder Woman=????????????????
She kills Ares, but it wasn't Ares (no shit) - then Ares appears (no shit) - then he's way too powerful (no shit) - BANG! BIG SECRET REVEALED (no shit) - Gal Gadot is so confused she hit herself (no shit) - Big Jim does a Captain America and saves everyone (no shit) - Gal Gadot becomes god -- "INSERT HERE STUPID PHOTOGRAPHY, CGI, POINTLESS GLORIFYING WALKING SCENES" - Ares is dead (no shit).
That said: I must say that I enojyed this movie more than... scratch that, this is the only DC character movie I enjoyed following the current DCCU (DC Cinematic Universe)[God Bless Christopher Nolan's soul]. It truly had meaning and potential, but I guess they ran out of minutes.
Sad.
PS:
Gal Gadot is hot as fuck.
Wow. For perhaps the first time in my life, I am completely speechless. I just got back from an early screening of the movie (we have early screenings in Poland! Who knew?). I'm going to try and collect my thoughts as I write, but I'm just buzzing with excitement, so I make no promises as to how this will turn out. I hope you'll stick with me regardless.
After BvS and Suicide Squad were poorly received by critics (and audiences too, although here the opinions were more divided), a lot of people were afraid of how this movie would turn out. And I swear, no one was more scared than me. I didn't grow up with Wonder Woman - hell, I wasn't even aware of her existence until like two years ago, but I so desperately wanted her movie to succeed. A female superhero in the title role and a female director? That is huge. That's something I've been waiting for since I was a kid. And I spent the last year kind of holding my breath, hoping with all my might that this movie would be good.
And it is. Thank the gods, it really is.
Oh, and before I forget: this review will be spoiler-free, I don't intend to ruin any of the important plot points for anyone.
So, let's get to it, shall we?
First of all, the plot. The plot is simple, linear, without unnecessary storylines shoehorned in there for no reason. That doesn't make it any less engaging or exciting, of course. If anything, it allows you to really immerse yourself in the story. And boy, is the story great. There's plenty of cliches there, but honestly, there is something to be said about cliches. If done correctly, they are amazing. And they definitely are done correctly here.
The movie looks gorgeous as well. There are actual colors there, along with some stunning shots. The editing is on point, everything flows pretty much flawlessly.
The music is sick. I mean, they managed to incorporate WW's theme in there, with all of its electric cello glory. And it's just... insane.
The action scenes will make you want to fist pump and yell "Hell yeah!". Whatever you're imagining, I promise you, the movie will exceed your expectations. I still have goosebumps and it's been like an hour since I left the theatre.
As for the acting, everyone does a wonderful (no pun intended) job. I want to talk about Gal Gadot for a second, because I feel like a lot of people had doubts as to whether or not she could handle such a huge role and such an iconic heroine. Worry not. She's got this. It's actually kind of jaw-dropping how much she's got this. She pours everything she has into this performance. Her Diana is layered, a perfect balance of innocently naive and fiercely badass. She brings heart and humanity and a range of emotions to the character. She will make you laugh. She will make you cry. And most importantly, she will make you feel the sheer power and confidence that she radiates while still having moments of vulnerability. She's glorious. She IS Wonder Woman.
Everyone loves Chris Pine, and he does a great job here as well. Steve Trevor keeps up with Diana without once trying to overshadow her and they make a fantastic duo. And he has his fair share of cool moments as well. Connie Nielsen and Robin Wright manage to do a lot with the few scenes they're given. Lucy Davis is super funny. Overall, a pretty awesome cast of supporting actors.
And finally, what struck me the most about this movie was how heartfelt and genuine, and just... good it was. I mean, it's a brilliant movie, but it's also good in the sense that it inspires you and fills you with hope and optimism, which I think is something we rarely get in movies nowadays. It warms your heart and makes you feel so many different things. It hits all the right notes. There's no shortage of dramatic, incredibly emotional moments that will bring tears to your eyes. But it's also often hilarious and joyful - I laughed out loud more than once, and so did the rest of the room.. And when it wants to be epic, it is larger than life, powerful and spectacular.
I recognize and respect the fact that to many people, this movie won't be perfect. But to me, it is. It's everything I wanted it to be and then some. Hats off to Patty Jenkins, Gal Gadot and everyone else involved. They created something truly incredile. I'm seeing it again on Saturday. And quite possibly a few more times after that. If I blow all my money on tickets for this movie, it will be worth it. No regrets.
Now, time to go to bed and cry about how much I love Diana. I hope everyone has as unforgettable an experience with Wonder Woman as I did.
UPDATE: Having seen this movie 4 times in 2 weeks, I can safely say that it's insanely rewatchable. Also, I'm an emotional mess who's cried at least 3 times during each one of those 4 screenings. I'm fairly certain that this movie actually gets better the more you watch it.
entire season felt like a BIG pilot for a new season that now we have to wait ...
OMG. this episode made his jizz multiple times. Pablo. Cali. so many moment that would be audience cheers and ampoules if it were to be in big screens!! I think it's time we get Netflix screening in local theater with some subscription model passes. this right here is the future ladies and gentlemen!!
"My turn." I think this sets up for an interesting next season with Claire in charge and Frank on the outside. Its sad to see Doug so loyal he is going down for Zoe, which happened what seems like a life time ago (season 2 episode 1).
Overall I thought the season was ok, not the best or the worst. Some interesting ideas with the 12th amendment picking the president and Claire being in charge for a little while. I didn't really Jane Davis or Mark Usher that much. They both seem like they are out for themselves, very much like the Underwoods, but they just never really got me to care for them. I liked the election arc the most at the beginning and didn't really like Frank's arc of leaking everything so he can have his way out. Maybe that will play more next season and he will regret it.

Although Ray Donovan has been one of my favourite shows in recent years I have to say this episode was stong. Not only did he say the simple 'sorry' that Mick was looking for all these years, he is now on a quest to save his most precious daughter. And when he said 'I will kill everyone in your family and I will keep coming back for them' we already knew that he wasn't kidding around... The next two episodes will be carnage. All of the Donovan forces will join to help Bridget.
