That Robby v Eli fight was crazy good. Probably the best of the series.
They sort of had me forgetting how skeevy and evil Joe is! Until the last 5 minutes.
I liked Beck the best, then Candace.
Love really gets on my nerves.Did they have to make her so loud?
Btw you should watch the after credits coz .... mad
The pilot was very promising and this second episode is at the same level. I really like this story so far.
Joe is a very interesting character to follow because already I find myself being totally creeped out by him while at the same time rooting for him to get the girl. He has a warmth and kindness over him, like when he interacts with Paco, that can shift in a split second. Also like that from the voice over we can somewhat tell that he himself doesn't see it as creepy, the way he stalks Beck.
Can't wait to see how this develops further now that he got the girl, and the mention of Candace, what happened there.
The first episode intrigued me and left me wanting more, but almost every episode after was just wasted potential in my eyes. The plot was less engaging the longer it went on, most of the characters were uninteresting, and overall it felt pretty dull and boring. I won't be returning for season 2.
One of the funnier movies of the year
Pretty joyful and entertaining , mostly because of Vince Vaughn , his scenes were hilarious
A bloody good time
It's probably just me but damn that kid is annoying
If you're looking for a cure for horniness then you've found it with this stunningly boring nonsense. Not even Emma Stone can save it.
copy past from the danish movie with the same name, shit on them
I really enjoyed this final episode and the series. Good edge of the seat tension. Well worth a watch :thumbsup_tone1:
For some reason this is one my all time favorite movies. I'm usually a sci-fi, action or fantasy movie fanatic. However, this movie just does just gets me every time, and I watch it whenever it come on TV.
The worst show ever made that I love. Don't take it seriously and enjoy it.
Loved it. Binge watched over 2 days. It is relaxing and feel good. Truly loved it, and I do not binge watch...ever!
What a piece of shit. Maybe the two worst actors I've seen in a long time. Very very poor. I'm out
They should had stopped after season 1.
I’m surprised at the low ratings for this film, I thought it was excellent.
It’s a simple tale, told well.
Lots of action from start to finish, great acting and production etc.
It’s a 90 minute film, but it seemed to be over very quickly; which shows how involved I was in the story.
It’s different, not predictable and I loved the simplicity of the story.
Great film!
First 2 seasons are definitely recommended. It got "woke" in season 3 and isn't worth the time anymore. Unfollowed.
Armond deserved better. Season 2 should have Shane getting testicular cancer.
The things we do for Alexandra Daddario
1) (again) Teenagers and their underdeveloped brains, oh my god. Unfortunately, in TLOU every idiotic decision becomes a literal life or death situation.
2) STELLAR performance by Storm Reid, I swear it forced Bella to take her own acting up a notch. The result was my tear stained face (and quite possibly yours too).
3) Fuuuuuuucccccck! "Back in 5 mins", I'm bawling.
8/10 - for Riley/Storm Reid, the pop culture references, the delightful reminders of life pre apocalypse, and a (nearly) flawless victory.
THIS, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how you do a season finale!
(Damn, I used the safeword...)
It's okay but there are so many mistakes in the storyline, so much stuff that does not make sense at all that it sometimes hurts to watch. The cinematography is on a really high level - indeed. However, the inconsequence this storyline was written with is disturbing and makes this whole thing a bit of a painful experience. I quite skipped trough it to at least get an overview where this is going.
Maybe they should have done a deep dive how cultures would really develop under these given circumstances. I find it hard to believe that all those people do not know absolutely anything just because there was a virus. And given the fact, that there is no further explanation I bet Apple itself does not have an explanation how this scenario makes any sense.
The only reason I can see why people would give this series a good rating is because of the cinematography, the cast and because it was done by Apple. Because besides those superficial reasons, there is nothing really that justifies a good rating.
At this point I simply couldn't care less if it isn't exactly like the books, this show is setting a new standard for sci-fi and storytelling like The Expanse did a couple years ago or the Wachowski's did a few decades ago. Apple TV is winning the streaming war right now ( if we judge on quality )
Barbenheimer: Part 1 of 2
This is the kind of film I really don’t want to criticize, because we don’t get nearly enough other stuff like it. However, mr. Nolan has been in need of an intervention for a while now, and unfortunately all of the issues that have been plaguing his films since The Dark Knight Rises show up to some degree here. Visually it might just be his best film, and there’s some tremendous acting in here, particularly by Murphy and RDJ. However, it makes the common biopic mistake of treating its subject matter like a Wikipedia entry, thereby not focussing enough on character and perspective. As a whole, the film feels more like a long extended montage, I don’t think there are many scenes that go on for longer than 60 seconds. There’s a strong ‘and then this happened, and then this happened’ feel to it, which definitely keeps up the pace, but it refuses to stop and let an emotion or idea simmer for a while. There are moments where you get a look into Oppenheimer’s mind, but because the film wants to cover too much ground, it’s (like everything else) reduced to quick snippets. It’s the kind of approach that’d work for a 6 hour long miniseries where you can spend more time with the characters, not for a 3 hour film. I can already tell that I won’t retain much from this, in fact a lot of it is starting to blur together in my mind. There are also issues with some of the dialogue and exposition, such as moments where characters who are experts in their field talk in a way that feels dumbed down for the audience, or just straight up inauthentic. Einstein is given a couple of cheesy lines, college professors and students interact in a way that would never happen, Oppenheimer gives a lecture in what’s (according to the movie) supposed to be Dutch when it’s really German; you have to be way more careful with that when you’re making a serious drama. Finally, there are once again major issues with the sound mixing. I actually really loved the score, but occasionally it’s blaring at such a volume where it drowns out important dialogue in the mix. I’m lucky enough to have subtitles, but Nolan desperately needs to get his ears checked, or maybe he should’ve asked some advice from Benny Safdie since he’s pretty great with experimental sound mixing. My overall feelings are almost identical to the ones I had regarding Tenet; Nolan needs to rethink his approach to writing, editing and mixing. This film as a whole doesn’t work, but there are still more than a few admirable qualities to it.
Edit: I rewatched this at home to see whether my feeling would change. I still stand by what I wrote in July, though the sound mix seems to have been improved for the home media release. It sounds more balanced and I didn’t miss one line of dialogue this time around. I’m slightly raising my score because of that, but besides that I still think it’s unfocused, overedited, awkwardly staged and scripted etc.
5.5/10
Not for a single second was Hawks being a traitor something credible
I was definitely excited for a sci-fi thriller, but this movie was so underwhelming. The visual effects also looked really bad. I thought there would be more manipulation of time, sort of in the same vein as Gravity/Interstellar(?) but I felt let down by that. This was advertised kind of as a timey-wimey scifi thriller but it's barely that.
Steve and Dennis work as EMTs in New Orleans when they attend to a series of strange calls of people catatonic, seemingly overdosing on drugs, injured in strange and horrible ways. There's a drug being distributed making waves, called Synchronic, that works by manipulating the Pineal gland in your brain. However, by adulthood the gland is no longer functional, so the drug has different effects on teenagers. As one can guess, the story is pretty obvious from here - I was actually hoping there would be more to it, but it was honestly very straightforward.
I felt like the structure of the narrative was overblown - seeing the different conversations about and between Dennis and Steve had almost nothing to do with the drug and the overarching plot. Why do we need to see different snippets of a conversation when the drug takes you to a different timeline IN THE PAST. The drug emphasises how it shows you a different time and how all time is happening all at once - but it literally sends Steve to the distant past at different times depending where he stands when he takes the drugs. None of the timelines are exactly explained. I also felt like the attempts at humour were really poor. Plus the sad moments didn't affect me either. When Steve takes his dog into the past and loses him there - we could have known that without seeing a weird flickering dog whining in the background.
The characters are so self-deprecating but it's just depressing because it plays into the dark tones of the movie. I liked the dynamic between Steve and Dennis but the side characters were not developed that much. I didn't understand the bonding scenes with Brianna or with Dennis' wife. The one scene where Dennis bonds with his daughter over her future - is that meant to explain why she turns to drugs? Anyway, I was just very disappointed by this film. It was trying to be a human and sympathetic story, but I didn't feel the emotions I would have if I had read this as a book. I would say it would be in the same camp as books like The Last Policeman, The Gone World or The Space between Worlds, but it just didn't hit me the same.
I did like the filming techniques and the colours of the different environments.
So Marvel Zombies is based on a classic alt-universe storyline that I've never read. That aside, this episode felt very messy. Ruffalo's Hulk continues to be the goofiest character in the MCU, both live action and now animated. The story was okay at best but the ending felt messy. A step down from the last 2 weeks.
Didn't expect the first returning arc to be a recap of the movie but as long as the animation is solid I don't mind!
