Harmless movie loses its way when it veers off the hiking trail.
I loved the movie from 2013 but that movie was pretty boring. The first 5 to 10 minutes was a introduction to the characters (who are all great) but the rest of the movie was just a long boring fight/escape against/from the evil spirit.
The whole fight against the evil, what was around 95 % of the movie should have been the final 10 to 15 minutes, but not the full movie.
I liked the characters and the special effects were great. But I will rewatch the movie from 2013 again, but it was the first and last time I watched that movie.
Awful writing, terrible acting, boring played-out story. I will say the cinematography and camera work was well done and made the movie finish-able. But trust me, I couldn't wait til it ended. There was no suspense, they didn't develop scares, and for a gory film..... it could've used more creative gore. A waste of time, unfortunately. I'm not sure what the people giving this movie good reviews are measuring this against, Sharknado?
Worst characters to centre a whole episode on. So much screaming and I couldn’t care who lived or died. Bypass this one
Are these episodes getting shorter? I feel we went from 60->50->30min.
Last episode will be 30 seconds long.
This episode was so dark I figured the Night King was attacking Winterfell
You know... when people tell you to shut up... you shut the fuck up.
Also what is it with the 30 minutes.
"Why yes, I am a doctor. And while I came here alone -- for some reason -- in order to stock up on food, of course I'll gladly abandon that plan and abandon my vehicle and abandon my family so that I can follow you to some unknown place for an unknown amount of time before continuing to follow you elsewhere. And I won't insist on informing my family about any of this because that would make too much sense."
What makes this even better is the fact that it took all of about two minutes to be able to see that the lame reason given for leaving her car behind was, in fact, completely bogus. My guess is that we'll eventually find out that the writers NEEDED the car to be left behind as part of some future plot point. And as such, they preferred the scene that we get here since it allowed them to be lazy versus taking the time to come up with the same outcome while not being deeply stupid.
Aliens trying to eliminate humanity through boredom is not an interesting strategy.
5 hours in no alien in sight!!!! F this piece of crap boring ass show!!!
5th episode still following people around lol. Amazing Apple picked this up.

Here we are at home again, and there's no doubt the game is on.
Nothing earth-shattering but still a solid setup and the CGI is top notch! Daemon shines every time he’s on screen. 8/10
Well the first episode obviously did some initial grounding of the characters and set the scene of what we can somewhat expect from HotD season.
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I still can't get past 'Lord Corlys Velaryon' considering in the older times especially they kept in breeding as they didn't want their bloodline tainted. That is well known in the lore.
Back in GoT, Xaro Xhoan Daxos was a trader and fit well in the show, as did other ethnicities depicting different houses and regions. It just doesn't sit in the story well and is a clear token character to get a PoC into the main house. It would have been better to have a Meister role or other primary role but not Targaryen.
I always give new shows 3-4eps to either hook me or push me away, so we'll see what next week brings us.
It was a fun movie, not the best thing ever but yeah, you get what you expect
The ending was kinda sh*it though
The action sequences were solid, particularly the martial arts, and the casting and acting were also fine but the script is a mess, the pacing is off, and the second half feels goofy and disjointed from the first half. The second half action was difficult to follow and felt like a DC cluster f--- aimed at the Chinese market. HOWEVER, I am looking forward to seeing Shang-Chi utilized in the future films.
One of the best solo MCU movies in a while. I went into this not knowing the story at all. I was highly entertained and not lost at all. Definitely worth the $12 at the theater!
An amazing movie, and a masterclass in storytelling and existentialism without beating you over the head with it.
Soul is another triumph for Pixar
About the meaning and purpose of life and trying to find yourself in there
Funny, Emotional and Fullfilling
If you love (american) football, you'll love this movie!
Really captured the boredom of lockdowns.
Kevin Costner plays an upstanding member of the community, avid potter and caring father who happens to moonlight as a schizophrenic serial killer. Costner is fine in the role but Demi Moore, who surfaces as the tomboy detective on his trail, is badly miscast. She's presented as a grizzled veteran of the force with several shades of action hero, but when we see the character in motion it's an awkward, stiff, uncomfortable exercise. Dane Cook is bafflingly tossed into the mix, too, as a wannabe killer who blackmails his way into private lessons with the master. The curious decision to take a serious role does him no favors.
There's some promise to the concept, but the script simply doesn't trust its viewers to work things out for themselves and delights in presenting, then abandoning, boatloads of trivial plot threads. Clearly written with a franchise in mind, it saves too much meat for later installments, which leaves this first chapter feeling thin and watered-down. Hammy, forced and predictable, with a fistful of groan-worthy clichés, it's akin to a bad season of Dexter.
After number two I thought the traps went a little faulty, didn't think they'd be fixed, but the saw franchise has made a come back, the rust has been removed, the traps are set again, the games have got better and pieces of the Jigsaw have been found. It's action, cast, story plot and twists are winning the game. If you think you've predict the ending like I did then think again because your In the game too. What's your confession?
Needed more Channing Tatum. Fine enough, otherwise.
As good as the first film? No, not really, but then sequels rarely are. It was big and bold, but the story was a little weak. However, the movie is still very entertaining in parts, and while I perhaps wanted a little more plausibility, it may be that I had unrealistic expectations for a film of this sort. Great action, a delicious turn from Julianne Moore, a rocking soundtrack, and a mincing turn from Keith Allen (what, you expected me to say Elton?), made this a film I will go back to. So not as fresh or as funny as the original, but it could have been a lot worse. And remember, before you have a go at me for giving it a lower rating than others, manners maketh the man!
Kingsman: The Golden Circle can't compete with the original, but it still gives us a bold, action-packed and fun spy movie. The visuals are spectacular and so are the performances, with a great cameo from the fabulous Elton John.
A strong season beginning. For many characters the hopes get up. I am very optimistic about Team Sansa-Brienne. But the most interesting plot-location for me is King's Landing, where Cersei is back in the game, with Jamie on her side. Key-quote: "Fuck prophecy, fuck fate, fuck everyone except us" This should be the new motto of house Lannister. The Dorn-Location had an interesting development. Furthermore i liked how Danni made a proverbial full circle and is now back with the Dothrakis, i thought she gotten too powerfull over the last seasons. Over all i am on my edge for the developments this season awaits us. I just fear they will make the same mistakes, like last season (rape-sences without further meaning etc.). But i think, from what i saw this episode, the writers and creators listend to the critics and are now back on track.
Waste of time. nobody survives in this group
These people are idiots. It makes it really hard to watch this show.
