So invested in this series, I feel compelled to see it through, despite the agonising grind, obsession with long sequences of meaningful looks from Elizabeth Moss, and a soundtrack that drowns out the dialogue.
....I didn't like it.
There was no plot.
There was no literary protagonist. There IS a main character, though.
When I say plot, I mean an objective that the protagonist is after from the beginning; Some kind of imbalance that they sense needs to be rectified or corrected. When there is no objective, there is no obstacles in their way, either. This movie is 3.5 hours of, just, things that happen and it never clues the audience in on the endgame...so there's also hardly any climax, either. Its just, this happens, then that, then that, then that...with characters you can't really call "likeable" or "rootable" I wouldn't have cared if DeNiro died at any given moment in the film because I couldn't connect with him.
The day that Ben Affleck stops being Batman is the day that Batman comes back to become the best superhero films of all. This guy with 0 acting skills is destroying it. Too many awesome films before him to let it pass.
Wait. What!? WTF did I just watch?
Just finished this episode. Took me 2 days to watch...that’s how boring it was. If you decide to watch this episode, watch the first minute & last minute...everything else in the middle is incredible waste of time & adds no value. Think of it this way...it’s an hour of your life you will never get back.
I must be one of the few who gets nothing out of this show. I think it's boring, unfunny, I don't like Loki (either one) and quite frankly I don't like the whole concept of the TVA.
But, hey, it's allright. Not everything is for everyone.
It was so bad. I dont know why it had such good reviews. There was no sherlock element in the whole movie. Waste of time really.
I didn't know they spoke such fluent English in Russia. They should've talked Russian! We have subtitles for a reason, yes?
My most beloved TV show got destroyed in a matter of minutes. The previous episodes of S08 at least gave me some kind of emotion, episode 05 was a flat line. This truly is a masterpiece, a masterpiece of destruction. They've destroyed everything! The character development, the story, the plot, the meaning of GOT, the writing of G.R.R. Martin. They've destroyed all the hard work put in all of these years, they've spit on everything. I'm not going to hate the show, it gave me so much, and it will continue to be my favorite, but i'm just going to pretend this last season was never made. I'm going to imagine all the possible theories, all the story plots that could have been made, and just hope the writer finishes the series some day.
Sesion 8 the waste of our time.
Mariah on hearing Ridenhour’s death ~~~ the acting was terrible
And once again the freshly baked, first-time captain is the American Hero saving the day and awing the world against the bad, evil Kriegsmarine, which, as we all know, only consisted of sadistic Nazis howling over radio like a delirious drunken man while engaging the enemy. Straight historic facts.
And obviously the captain has a soft spot for the coloured cook Cleveland, who tragically parishes in an attack. Except the fact that the navy didn't allow coloured people on their ships until 1948 while this cheap propaganda piece is set in 1942. Except the Kriegsmarine was known to be the least Nazified service in the German war machine.
Why the directors/writers of cheesy sh*t like this always try to rewrite history, I don't know.
Seriously, watch "Das Boot" or "The Enemy Below". Don't waste your time with this garbage.
So far the worst episode in the worst season. This was terrible.
If nothing interesting happens in the last remaining episodes this will be my last season with this show. And I guess for everyone else too cause can't see how this can be renewed.
I didn't know they spoke such fluent English in Russia. They should've talked Russian! We have subtitles for a reason, yes?
This whole series reeked of season 8 Game of Thrones laziness. Undeserved character moments. Characters teleporting wherever's convenient. Disregarding backstory introduced episodes earlier to present the audience nonsensical redemption of villainous characters. There are thousands of great writers and directors. Many of them big Star Wars fans. Shame none worked on this show.
The episode was shit. All the Disney plus shows are. They were supposed to be better than agents of shield. Bigger budget doesn't assure better content. Dissatisfied.
Because Natasha is always described as this awesome super spy, I really thought this movie would be kind of an over-the-top James Bond movie. I mean, you've got a Soviet Big Bad Guy with an evil lair and evil plan, like in the old school Bond films. I was very happy early on in the movie, with the Soviet agents couple undercover in Ohio, and then when Nat tries to lay low after Civil War. But then it switched from a potentially cool spy movie (and original for a Marvel) to a classic super hero movie.
So instead we got an over-the-top Agents of SHIELD episode. Every hero is sub-par, except Taskmaster, which doesn't even get that much screen time. The second most powerful hero, Red Guardian, is ridiculed all the time and doesn't really have an opportunity to shine. I thought the prison escape would be that. I mean, Netflix did a crazy good prison fight scene in The Punisher, but Marvel couldn't even remotely top that in a huge production? Very disappointed by all the missed opportunities.
watched 3 eps today and got bored asf!
They should’ve killed off Ivar a long time a go. What was the whole point of the Rus storyline? That was completely random.
Technically marvelous but I felt nothing watching this. No thrills, no suspense, nada.
I hate Jim, ruins the show every single time he shows his face...
Watching this feels like watching two different movies. The first movie is one in which jokes are forced and music feels shoehorned in. It feels like the writers and director are beating you over the head trying to make the point of "look, look, remember us? remember how you liked music and jokes the last time?" For me the first half of this movie is a poor imitation of the first Guardians of the Galaxy. 6/10.
All of this changes around an hour into the movie however. Once they actually started moving forward with the plot, this movie becomes something special. The second half of this movie is perhaps the best thing that Marvel Studios has put to screen. It is so heartfelt and moving, the comedy lands PERFECTLY every time, and the movie makers allow us as an audience to remember what we loved about these characters the first time around organically. The second half of this movie is almost flawless.
Special mention to Dave Bautista's Drax... by far and away the character that stole the show. HILARIOUS!
can't get over quite how bad this film is, complete and utter bollox. avoid.
I'm in to this series for a long time. Liked the franchise. The first three seasons were entertaining if you managed your expectations. It has now devolved into racist over-woke agit-prop bullshit. I hated to do it, but I hid and unsubscribed.
This movie was great because I fell asleep in the theater and had an amazing nap
This is a big, huge,massive pile of crap. This looks a parody of a proper movie. The crappy humor, the absurd scenes, a 5 yoers old-written script it just makes me want to shoot myself. Won't comment the movie itself because it's not worth the time.
I’m not the target audience for this movie … I’ve seen a total of 2 marvel movies containing Thor so really I’ve got no clue what a good marvel movie is and what a bad one is. I am struggling to understand who the target audience was though …. 14 year old girls maybe. Holy crap that was all sorts of cliche and bad acting. Why oh why would these stars attach themselves to such horrible story-telling and movie making. I suspect though have no proof that G’n’R have a reunion tour or album coming up and pulled in a marketing / publicity favour. This is definitely not inspiring me to see more marvel movies.
I won't remember a bit of this in six months. The acting is overall quite good, but the story-line is... boring? That's not quite fair. It's just uninspiring.
