One the best Marvel movies. You'll be sore from laughing afterwards.
While the trailers and adverts might make this seem like it's a happy romp, it's not. Believe me it's not. This, in my opinion, is a very sad film. It took me by surprised me and made me remember aspects of my childhood I don't normally keep at the forefront of my mind. This is despite the comedy and the happy joy-joy attitude seen for about 50% of the film. I really related to Riley, so much so that I actually cried quite a bit at the theatre. I felt a bit embarrassed but I really couldn't help it. It wasn't the acts in the film that made me sad, it was the explanation afterwards. Riley's motivations. Hearing it in words after seeing everything broke me. A Disney film hasn't made me cry like that ever.
You absolutely have to see Inside Out. But, don't go into it looking for it to put a smile on your face after a bad day. It's a really emotional ride. However, the message in the end is really worth it. It's a message that we should really get across to the children of today. I wish the message being put forward by this movie was being aimed at children back when I was a kid. It would have really helped. It would have indeed.
This is a gorgeous movie. There is no villain or external force to fight. It is about a girl who had a very happy childhood learning to deal with loneliness and accepting other negative emotions like sadness. She is learning how to balance all the little pieces of herself (what separates children from adults). The movie shows little kids how you are dealing with stuff on the inside affects how you deal with stuff on the outside.
The presentation of the Tooth Fairy was amazing. The body moving with the music, the dragon...loved it. And I'm also very glad to see Will in action again (though I don't predict a very nice ending for his new family of course).
The priest is such a great character and the fight scenes were outstanding as usual!
Holy sh*t what an episode! That fight scene was off the hook!
The series start very well developing the characters but the last episodes really bring the awesome factor to the show. Vicent D'Onofrio playing Fisk is absolutely brilliant, what a performance. Great season. Can't wait for more.
Best superhero TV show ever. Hands down. Bravo to Cox and D'Onofrio! To say I'm excited for season two is an understatement.
Awesome! Powerful finish to season one. Looking forward to the newly announced season two.
Loved the AA part :(
So is this season all going to be a flashback? This is gonna get real.
oh no :) poor :) stiles :) i hope :) nothing :) bad :) happens :)
The violence, the class, visuals, audio, psychology and Hannibal's mind control. It is so beautiful I want to cry. I wish I could go back in time and see it for the first time again so I could cry from the psychological and eye candy this show brings. In my crazy head this places as #1 and best show I've ever seen even above Breaking Bad.
A promising start. There are a lot of haters, though, and I think many were expecting it to be The Walking Dead. It's like 90% The Walking Dead, yet the 10% of new style is objectionable to many.
There is a bit of artistic flare here. The original is artistic too, but in the sense of George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" being artistic: bringing zombie films to a new level. The new series is more about feeling what the characters feel, especially when they see zombies for the first time. For example, the opening shot is upside down, so we feel the confusion of a druggy waking up.
The Walking Dead is filmed in 16mm, to give it that classic, zombie movie look. I haven't been able to find the specs on Fear the Walking Dead, but I'm guessing it's done with high quality HD video cameras.
The acting is criticized by many. The teen girl is often singled out. Personally, I wasn't taken out of the experience at any point. However, one advantage of a zombie series is that any bad actors are going to become zombie food. We might have to wait until next season, though, for the script writers to react to any bad acting.
The pilot was slow. But slow is not necessarily bad. Take Alien (1979), for example. I felt the pace was appropriate and built the tension. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Holy Matt Bomer!
What an episode!! That's fantastic cause from now till the end all is possible, all is open and more unexpected than before.
I don't want this show to end :( It gets better and better.
So good! I find the outbreak scenario more interesting than surviving the postoutbreak to be honest. Can't wait to see where the show goes and I hope Tobias returns, he is awesome.
All the trouble caused by people not talking or listening to each other. No one saying the right things to get people to act. It's just so brilliantly annoying :) I just want to shout at the screen "Stop being such morons!".
The frustration is what makes this show. So far no horror or gore, just people stupidly acting like people. But then I guess us viewers know the direction this is taking and they don't. I can see this is going to hit the top of my watch list.
This series succesfully shows the exact opposite of blockbuster movies: Create a great story with mediocre special effects and lesser known actors.
The writers behind this show do an amazing job creating one wonderfull Fairy tale adaptation after another. I did not like their previous work, but I think the writing is getting more mature (but they still make some errors that are frustrating.) But mostly they are not afraid to change major aspects of the fairy tales if necessary.
The creaters of this show also worked on 'Lost' and the 'TRON: Legacy' movie.
I really love how Rumpelstiltskin plays the evil maniac, especially during the first season. But there are more noteworthy roles in there, like the evil queen, her mother, Belle, Hook or Peter Pan. Emma Swan is pretty well played, but compared to the extreme characteristics of the fictional characters she is a bit bland.
The things I dislike most are probably some repeated main themes (family feuds/bad parent-child relations) and that they copy the characters of fairy tales a bit too literal from the Disney franchise from time to time.
Overall I think it is on of the best non-comedy shows of the past few years.
PS. I am glad Lady Gaga never replied on the invite to play the Blue Fairy.
Note: This review was written after watching the first 2 seasons.
That Chilton / Great Red Dragon scene was disgusting to say the least.. At least he can still talk :'). Boy did he look burned. Another great, creapy episode.
Holy crap that was some fun, disturbing stuff
Don't mess with the Riddler!
love it. nygma, pengiun and gordan at there best.
Wow...three part Ogre storyline it's been simply awesome. I love how they are (re)building characters personalities true to the Batman mythology, just adding one layer at the time. I think this could be the greatest strenght of the show: just experiencing Bruce, Selina, Jim and all the main iconographic characters from the comic books evolving into..themselves!
FLAWLESS.
We probably won't be able to see such fine and elegant TV for a long time. #SAVEHANNIBAL
The movie has a Disney vibe, at least for me. The only thing missing is speaking dinosaurs, but the sparkly eyes, pompous fairy-tale like music and drama are there. Personally, I expected more from it, some parts were just rushed over and it finished too abruptly. I guess kids will appreciate this much more than I did.
Usually the best momentos on the show (not comedy-wise) are thos little moments when they let Sheldon be a real person (with his own particular problems) and the forget to make him a joke of himslef. That's something that since Amy came to the show gives the character a tone that improves it so much.
Obviously for the tone of the show they don't do it often but when they to (particularly on this episode) they do it pretty well because they're not making him a "normal guy on the inside" but they show someone who has a lot of troubles to manage himself in a social world he doesn't quite understand and it explains very well all those things that, when done in a comedy tone, makes us laugh (or at least that's their objective.
Sheldon can't control or understand how people feel arround him, and that's why he controls everything else (schedules, places to sit, etc). The rutine he creates, and even the work he does, with the laws that don't change and make the universe predictable...in the funny moments those things makes us laugh, but when they let the character be serious and honest, it explains all of him. Those moments would be the "uncertainty principle" of this show. Not even in the hardest of sciences can you be completly sure of everything, and no matter how much you try to control the world arround you, people are always an uncertainty principle for him.
The only thing I dind't like about this episode were the scenes in the puzzle house. The episode was about the different forms that love can take. Howard with his mother, Bernadette with Howard, Sheldon and Penny...for the other four something else would have been better...
The title seems to have a double meaning. Not only for the 'monster' of the film, but it is also one of those movies that gets under your skin. I can't stop thinking about it.
The film has very unique feel to it, an 80's vibe, a creepy unique premise and a constant feeling of unease, I can now see why this has been getting so much press throughout the horror scene.
A Must Watch!
