Maybe rather than 15 minutes of credits, they could have better spent the time on a decent final act.
Doesn't leave you with a "I can't wait for more cliffhanger." However since I hate shows never continuing after a cliffhanger I want more. I especially want more since I am hoping a season 2 would be an improvement.
The story telling needs some work, as well as the pacing and acting. I am a fan nevertheless.
Some sloppy writing (not asking DD for help for example) and cheesy dialogue but overall a decent show. I think the show overall was better than the second half of Luke Cage. The only outright bad thing IMO where the fight scenes well at least compared to the other Netflix/Marvel shows. Should have given Danny a mask like Matt in S1 and have a double film the fights.
I think the critics were just looking at the bad things, which are certainly there, and ignoring all the good things just so they could get their story with all this white-washing controversy across. Certainly not a great show like DD or JJ but still a good one IMO. 6-7/10.
Get ready for one hour of Amy making jokes about her vagina. The material was repetitive and nearly the same as her other stand-ups. Quit with the character act as well. Get up there and give us new material that is original and not about your vagina. We didn't laugh at all!
The primary attribute that draws me to this show is that It. Is. Insane.
To call this another Marvel winner would be an understatement.
Volume 2 is the best cinematic experience I've had in a long time. The action is great, the various cameos hilarious, the effects awe-inspiring and the laughs frequent and well-placed (one of the few gripes I had with Doctor Strange). And in the midst of all this, what really drives the story and keeps the audience interested is the character development. The heroes with which we fell in love in Volume 1 become deeper and multilayered, and the new additions add fantastic new dynamics.
While still falling victim to some minor storytelling tropes, GotG2 is the epitome of the spectacle movie.
After three weakest Doctor Who episodes, finally, we got a even weaker one.
The plot was good, actually. David Suchet's performance was excellent, too.
But the storytelling was just terrible!
Proper cringey dialogue and and I think they paid less attention to the gunplay. Pretty sad overall. Spends time trying to develop John's character through introducing new characters, which doesn't really work very well.
Kind of enjoyable for the action and Keanu but not much else...
This impressively constructed debut feature shows the last six weeks in the life of Irish republican hunger striker Bobby Sands. With the level of skill that it took to make this movie, its honestly hard to believe its Steve McQueen's first. I mean the movie features an ideological debate between two characters that goes on for 23 minutes. 17 and a half of those minutes being all in one record breaking shot. That's insane! It is very different so I wouldn't recommend it to everyone but if you're quite fond of the criterion collection then you're probably going to like this movie.
Starts off very strong with good characters and dialogue. Lots of good scenes to introduce us to the story and characters. I like some of the relationships.
King of dips in energy and with new stimulating ideas for me. It didn't take me on an interesting enough journey in the second half. Maybe I'll give it another go.
Is it just me, because i got used to this being a high quality show, but its getting to the point of unwatchable
Despite not being Hughes' finest movie, Uncle Buck is still a funny, endearing and ultimately moving family movie. I slightly prefer John Candy in the hysterical Planes, Trains and Automobiles, but his performance here exudes once again a charm and love that are impossible to resist.
One of the first truly great Netflix Original Movies, along with Beasts of No Nation.
After the success of Snowpiercer, Bong Joon-ho provides another original, timely and thought-provoking movie, with themes that deeply resonate in today's society.
A nice ending to an otherwise uneven season. The christmas special can't get here fast enough.
The Good:
1) Bill's agonizing realization of what she's become.
2) The Doctor's confession to Missie & The Master
3) Missie & The Master at the lift
4) "I'm THE doctor..."
The Bad
1) The resolution of Bill's story. Felt like a Dues Ex Machina rather than clever storytelling
2) The out-of-order intro. It's lazy writing IMO.
You're a funny guy Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last.
Good but not anywhere near as good as the fiirst
Despite being traditional in execution and not really anything groundbreaking, Gifted succeeds on an emotional level and really seems a return to his comfort zone for director Marc Webb.
Chris Evans is perfectly serviceable in one of the few non-Marvel movies we've seen him in in the last couple of years, but the real revelation is young McKenna Grace, that strikes a rare equilibrium between cute and, well, gifted.
With sharp tonal shifts from dramatic to comedic and from introspective to genuinely creepy, Wakefield manages to be an entertaining watch for all of its runtime. Cranston really gives a powerhouse performance here. He was nominated for Trumbo, but I think he's even better in this, carrying the whole movie on his shoulders with a solitary and varied performance, making his unlikable Howard Wakefield a sympathetic character.
An interesting take on middle-age crisis, and how it affects the protagonist and the people around him.
So good, Kurosawa manages to do so much with so little. The framing and camerawork are often incredible, both in the static "courtoom" scenes and in the dynamic forest and medium scenes. The medium and the woman's breakdown in the last version of the story unexpectedly really creeped me out.
You're brought to doubt the reality of what you see on screen, something we usually take for granted. The unseen interrogator, the audience, can keep questioning the characters, but the truth is left for interpretation.
Nikolai Coster-Waldau, of Game of Thrones fame, gives a committed and transformative lead performance that holds Shot Caller together.
A fairly fun, serviceable crime drama, Shot Caller feels a bit overlong and often predictable, but never boring. Despite some unnecessary subplots and some rushed character transformations, it's hard not to suggest this as a perfectly fine movie night.
A good way to give some catharsis to our characters following the Beth/Jerry split, but an unfortunate lack of laughs. Quite a disappointment after the great season opener.
Like a Saturday morning cartoon: unoriginal, entertaining and forgettable.
Haha this movie is so unexpectedly bad, you think it's one kind of movie then it just does a hard 180 into insanity. I wish I didn't have the twist spoiled because I would of loved to have seen this unfold and had the big WTF moment.
Suprising, original and constantly entertaining, Better Watch Out really is a fun breath of fresh air in a time when most movies feel predictable and telegraphed. It reminded me of two of my favorite horror comedies of the last years, Krampus for the thematic and tonal similarities, and The Visit for the reunion of stars Olivia DeJonge and Ed Oxenbould.
An interesting concept that lost most of its entertainment value in its relatively flat execution. This has been compared to a Black Mirror episode: if it were, it'd be regarded as one of the worst. It sure has merits earned through meaningful conversations and thought-provoking themes, but it couldn't hold my attention, despite its relatively short running time.
Ok, not the show I started watching, removing from Auto download list.
One of the stupidest scripts I have ever seen, terrible.
Watch as though a child and don't let the more annoying performances, lackluster script, and none-too-subtle social justice statements laced throughout get to you and you'll be fine. I'm not going to lie - this movie has some serious issues, but if you can reign in your expectations and just enjoy it for the visual majesty it is (and on the big screen in 3D), then you got a shot enjoying yourself.
Often touching and hilarious family saga. The cast are uniformly terrific, but it is a particular joy to see Sandler and Stiller acting together. The former gives some of his best work in a while, too. Would have liked to have spent more time with these people, and a tv show would have been perfect. As it stands, this is well worth seeing, and may reward repeat viewings.
