One of the greatest shows ever made. It's a shame that people need to be spoonfed subtext and themes to understand the point of the show.
One of the best shows I've ever seen! It's completely different from everything else I've watched, hard to describe. You might need to give it some time to get into it. Especially season 2 and 3 are outstanding. And the soundtrack, amazing!
The things we do for Alexandra Daddario
First episode was not bad, definitely made me want to watch more.
Horribly unfunny and try hard. All the best bits were in the trailer. It’s a shame because I like the cast. Joel McHale is at his McHalest with zero nuance or charm.
This show needs a laugh track or a pop up that says "laugh here' cause I didn't know when I was supposed to laugh!!!
Comedy? Which part was the funny bit?

It's terribly sad to see comments that are taking the "story" for what it is worth at face value and outright dismissing the movie entirely
As loathe as I am to watch "arthouse" movies, this one certainly struck quite a few chords. The journey of the young, unsure, foolhardy knight and his misplaced sense of honor and the turn he takes into fully accepting his destiny was one I enjoyed very much. The visuals and the sounds did play a large part in it, completely selling the atmosphere of a magical kingdom with swathes of unknown and unexplored mystery. The performances, too, were excellent and Dev Patel was very convincing as Sir Gawain
I'm sorry to say but the story is very, very obvious. As with these "artsy fartsy" movies, the way it is told is what elevates it and here, I feel it was justified and used to great effect. Instead of giving us the straightforward story of Sir Gawain in the ballad, something that has been told for centuries (and something I looked up afterwards because I'm not British or European at all), this movie instead attempts to recontextualise and shroud the entire thing in an air of magic and I found myself enraptured by it
It's the classic tale of a straightforward story told in a convoluted way. As King Arthur says at the very beginning, it was always just a game. What mattered was the journey Gawain took that changed him into someone who would accept what was coming because of his honor. The fox and the mansion were distractions and tried to keep him from achieving his destiny. The sash, given by his mother and returned by the witch in the mansion, was to prevent him harm but it prevented it by making him a coward. What happens after the Knight swings his axe is just the future that awaits for him for his broken oath. He removes the sash, thus letting go of all fears and the Green Knight, satisfied with the man he sees before him, lets him go. The Green Knight was never truly harmed and there was never a reason to harm Gawain either
I loved this movie. It blended the mystical and made for an enthralling journey through beautiful lands and forests and was something truly unique that I appreciate and left me wanting more
Folks like Antiwoke is the main problem here. Not Netflix. "Baah baah! Black cast! Baah! Lesbians! Baaaah! Feminists! Baaaah! Latinos! Baaah! Gay couple!" It's so fucking tiring. So. Fucking. Tiring.
The show is great btw. I don't know about you but I for sure don't want to see the same story over and over. It's fresh. It's fun. The cast is fine. Hoping for second season.
Top research facility and all you need to do to get in is put the boss' voicemail on speaker...
Only way to watch this show is like the A-team or mcguyver or something. Don’t take it serious, otherwise you will be disappointed. The writing is bad, Sfx are not good, story does not make any sense, why is Vader in Mordor, why can’t a Jedi catch a slow little girl.
rather boring, and sometimes annoying
An absolute disappointment of a show. Poor handling of Obi Wan and Vader. Atrocious storytelling. Terrible chase and action scenes. The list goes on...
It carries the name but this show is a soulless shell of its legacy. I'd instead burn money than watch this again.
I couldn't make it thru this series due to Moses Ingram's terrible acting skills. It was just too much to endure.
When it comes to the prequel trilogy, Disney has gone from barely acknowledging its existence to now padding their story out with fan fiction, all within the span of only a couple of years. The results are, as you might expect, pathetic and mind-numbingly dull. There’s just no way around it: this is another dreadful Disney+ show with production and directing that somehow manages to be even worse than The Book of Boba Fett. There’s this old Hollywood cliché that women can’t direct action, and well, I’ll just say that this show doesn’t do that stereotype any favours. Ewan McGregor kinda delivers, but most of the performances in this show are awkward and cringy. It looks really, really bland for the most part, and the story is uninteresting and dumb. It makes little to no sense in the timeline. Revenge of the Sith took its time to cram everyone into their starting position for A New Hope, and the fact that we have characters meeting up again between those time periods kinda fucks with the whole continuity in A New Hope, which only adds to the fan fiction feel of the show.
3/10
typical disney marvel/starwars fare...
- ultra slow, the story likely fits onto a single page. plus lots of bad actors.
+ great visuals though. one or two good actors, who have far too few lines.
someone really should tell disney that great stories are made by a great cast. and never just by a single character.
That Moses is such a bad actress, damn. I get so bored. Aren't there any good actors left?
They shouldn't give parts only because they are black. They should be good actors!
This tv show is very current. A lot of nothing, empty and soulless. Pure boredom.
Holy, so much of this was just straight up bad. Visuals were pretty good, costumes too, but that's about it. If they had just put some more money into the script and acting and less into a need for ticking every box a modern piece of film seems to need (maximum diversity, "unexpected" twists, catering to the fans etc.) then they might have created something much better. This however, I am not going to continue to watch.
Some blatant writing and casting errors get in the way of this being so much as passable. To name a few:
- They tried too hard to make child Leia precocious. In one scene she's Sherlock Holmes, in another she makes a self-jeopardizing comment or decision, but for the most part, she talks too much and is annoying.
- Reva is the least intimidating dark-side character I've encountered in Star Wars media. The actress is tragically unconvincing in that role.
- Then if those points weren't enough to make the episodes seem juvenile, Kumail Nanjiani's stupid face enters the picture, instantly signalling to the viewer that this show is ultimately some kind of comedy.
Sigh, what a disappointment so far... Seems like target for this is 10 year old kids while it should be 30 y old fans raised on old SW and ObiWan.
And then there is acting and the story which is utterly crap. So many scenes are just pure cringe. Who signs off these shows? Are they all just horrible at their jobs or they don't care about SW anymore.
I loved Mandalorian but this is just crap so far.
How can this be an origin movie and there's no reference to Snake Eye's vow of silence? Did he decide to stop talking when he joined the Joes?
Season by season the series got better. But Season 4 is just bad and boring. Morgan is one of TWD's most annoying characters and that has not changed at FTWD.
The Walking Dead meets the CW production team....
It could've been better
I can see it's aimed towards a teen demographic but its sort of wimpy storyline isn't holding my attention like the other two main series... Definitely should be aired on CW :person_shrugging_tone3::female_sign:
Great movie. Boris Karloff in possibly his greatest role. He ruled this movie! He is truly to be feared as the grave robber holding damaging info on a doctor. A great watch!
What a nice surprise! This is a silent-era horror film that's genuinely fun. A store clerk stumbles upon a clue at the scene where a town citizen has disappeared and tries to be a detective with a help from his guide book. Meanwhile, there's a mad scientist that engineers car wrecks so he can experiment on the survivors. It starts out with this silly rivalry between the store clerk and his boss as they both like the same woman. Then it gets really spooky when they end up in a big old house. It gets spookier as it goes but still keeping the light tone. It balances out both horror and comedy elements very well and the mystery aspect is very compelling. The set design is decent and they really make good use of it. Johnny Arthur is fun to watch and Lon Chaney is amazing as a villain.
I don't really have anything to write about. Not my jam. I didn't enjoy as much as everyone did. Its a bit odd story and inconsistent how sometime people can see her, sometime they can't. I feel like the lead role doesn't fit in this one. Mr. Linden is creepier than all the ghosts combined.
Excellent well worth a watch
