Worst episode so far :(
First 4 were great. This was a utter bs story.
first part of the movie was nice, last 30-40 minutes was just bullcrap
I guess the budget was basically gone when they had Freeman and Stormare connected to the project. Then there was no money left for a proper scenarist and some decent writers, so they had to hire a bunch of high school students.
just dont take it too seriously and then its ok entertainment.
This series is very, very slow paced. Do not expect an action sci-fi.
Basically next to nothing happens until episode 7 / 8.
total stupidity continues. what an utter b.s.
what a total b.s.
if a person gets desperate, like that b.s. scene, you will end up giving every tiny little bit of detail of what you do know and not just scream again and again "shes dead".
plus totally b.s that a professional like specialist/psycho would just go into the house without canvassing.
and........ the guy in his tracksuit just standing in the middle of the road, without moving, and psycho/specialist keeps missing like that, even with 2 guns? yeah right.
and she can reload a gun but he cant? yeah right.....
aside the woke b.s. the series was more or less intelligent up to this point, these set of scenes destroyed it all.
and a shootout in the middle of nowhere - suddenly the briliant piece of conversation "the police is near we need to go". huh? what? how do you know this? theres no police sirens or anything.
and yeah sure, suddenly David has a few tie-wraps in his back pocket to tie that person hands together. yeah I also always walk around with large tie-wraps :)
and add to all of that they get on a train with a bullet wound and the conclusion is "fcker got me, I didnt even feel it".
seriously what 15 y/o scenarist wrote this episode? or was it written during the writers strike by a random? lol.
Very strange opening episode. It looks quite interesting.
And absolutely kudos for the music.
Interesting what direction this will be going.
This movie is how Sin City should have been....... here and there a bit too much weird conversations, like at the barber shop, but in general very enjoyable.
This movie is a fusion of back to the future meets scream. Both movies are referenced by Kiernan her character, so it seems on purpose.
Don't set your expectations too high with some highly intelligent movie, it's just a fun piece of nonsense that does not take itself too serious.
Enjoyable enough.
Huge disappointment. A lot of the series feels like it is just a bunch of random scenes that have been shot at some random time and then got added together asif you're watching a playlist of youtube clips. They may have something to do with oneanother. They may not.
A lot of this has the same kind of feeling as the Gotham series. Which I also didnt like at all. But I guess if you do like Gotham you might like this series too.
I guess there are some statements and pieces of dialogue in there which are supposed to be funny. I cant classify any of that as jokes though.
Too much is just over the top.
Quite impressive cast though. Crappy movie.
this show gave me very negative feelings, the whole reality show concept where people are driven into becoming their own worst selves is very disturbing...
I do wonder how much of this was scripted or at least manipulated.
The best part of this show is that there is no woke b.s - that at least was refreshing.
Quite an impressive actors lineup.
Quite impressive how entirely shit this movie still has become all because of the impressive leading man...... who keeps being the same character over and over again. And only manages to become more and more annoying each and every movie.
Probably the only good thing about this movie in the first 25 or so minutes is Nathalie Emmanuel.
So... I'm around 26 minutes in and I already hate the stupidity.
First the positive:
Looks of the surroundings and nature in general are superb,
it seems more attention has gone to making some beautiful shots than actually having a proper story and dialogue.
Stupidity in the movie:
- 3 guys with guns, short distance, not one gets a hit of? I never fired a gun in my life, but I am quite confident to do better than these morons.
- car chase scene - wtfff what a bs.
- car chase scene - with a shotgun you shoot a car mirror straight off. for real? thats what you aim for? you even are aiming at all?
- car chase scene - one moment its clear, next moment it is snowing.
- wtf is up with the guy his teeth???
- fall through centimeters thick ice without any apparent reason.
- after going through the ice and fully under, no problem - getting back up and back to the hole and through it without much issue even with the thick winter clothes
- wolf attacks a human boy on his own? just like that? right.
- in general all dialogue is just....... really wtf.
... and this is only after just 26 minutes.
The first 30 minutes could be summarized in around 5 minutes max. Quite disappointing story all in all. I enjoyed the book quite a lot, but this movie is hardly worth the tag of "tom clancy". It doesnt reach the level of complexity anywhere, not even close or by a long shot.
Also not a fan of this woke black washing. John Kelly at least is played by someone with a strong appearance. Especially Greer is a weak character and the whole person does not make any sense either. Not as a black woman military commander in the place of an iconic role as Greer. Ok, at least they changed her name to Karen, but still..... nope. Plus illogical to sent such a high ranking person on a special forces mission to a country where they famously dislike colored people.
Overal this movie is a 6 out of 10 max. And that is being very kind.
Predictable and a bit too easy of making CIA the stupid bad guys (which of course is portrayed by a white guy).
The whole plane crash scene makes very little sense and... well.. too many things make little sense.
This movie just seems to lean heavily on being woke and just use the title of a tom clancy book to attract viewers.
Overal I found the movie entertaining. Lucy Hale was carrying this movie though.
The ending of the movie is disappointing. Too easy. I guess it was this or a happy hollywood ending, but I would have strongly preferred that. Perhaps a happy ending but then some final closing scene where sweet do-good Olivia in the end turned into a aggressive freaky b*tch when a guy would have tried to charm her or hit on her like Carter did when getting her in trouble. That would have been far - far better then this cheap simple solution.
I went into this series expecting not much and was actually happily surprised. It's not as suspenseful as the book and it's cutting quite a few corners, but in general it is enjoyable.
There is a proper ending to this first season that rounds up the largest part of the story, so it is not a problem they never got to make a second season.
Too bad this got cancelled early. The early episodes were promising and anjoyable.
Later on in the series the story went off the rails entirely., but I was quite interested in seeing what way things would develop. Acting performances were quite strong in my opinion. It deserved more than it got.
EDIT: cancelled after 1 season (and rightfully so!) - open ended. Do not bother to watch this crap.
The Tula mom character is endlessly annoying. That person alone is reason enough to get this series cancelled.
For real though - what a dreadfully stupid story. Nothing unique or even remotely interesting.
Of course there is some strong suppressing organisation / government. There are rebels. Theres important people on both sides who have lots of history. Of course.
Main character with daddy issues - check.
Kids having been lied to all of their lives - check
Shifting loyalties all over the place, episode by episode - check
Unfulfilled promise by a smart but weak person who then of course builds up character to say no to addiction - check
White guy abusing power - check
Undervalued boy getting strong - check
Interracial relationship - check. Forbidden love - check.
Mommy issues - check. Kid rebelling against overly controlling mom - check. Mutual understanding reached and love conquers all - check.
Lesbian love - check.
Bad guy pirate turning good - check.
Did I mention shifting loyalties episode by episode? Check check double check.
Illogical personal motivations - check.
Not even sure how many other obvious b.s. I should even bother to list :)
wtf was this episode? those scenes with hellfire raining down, followed by the zombie mode endless bullet rain....... seriously what a bs. then the chasing through corridors,. where the good guys can close doors to slow down the bad guys. but the bad guys were not able to close those door to slow down the good guys?? right.
Very surprising show. I expected some feminin over the top woke stuff, but not at all. Its a strong show and quite surprising. Plot twists you can see coming from quite a bit and then........... oh wait. So I enjoyed it and binged the whole season 1 in just one go.
Pretty good police detective series. No woke bullshit.
Can be viewed on (HBO) Max
This series is intriguing. I kind of expected a stupid and maybe even annoying comedy because of William Jackson - but it's not really a comedy at all. This is mostly a crime investigation mystery kind of series.
A bit too much drama for me unfortunately.
Very simple action movie. Good entertainment where you can turn off your brain or even walk away for a minute to pee. Great cast with Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Keaton and [strike]T-1000[/strike] Robert Patrick (yes I know he was great in many other series and movies, he was good in X-Files as well).
Maggie Q was enjoyable to watch. She managed to keep being the lead character even while surrounded by such an established cast.
So bottom line: good entertainment, but nothing special you have not seen many times before and no plot twists you have not seen coming.
Seriously wtf. Already the opening scenes near the plane are so extremely stupidly over the top........ not even Rambo in his best days would be doing that sh**. And then the minefield.... and that was not even 20 minutes into the movie. Things got worse from there.
Maybe if they'd made this more into an actual comedy, things would have been better.
Predictable. No plot twist that you didn't see coming from miles away. Just another action movie like many, many others.
On the plus side : no woke b.s. for once!
The conclusion of the movie felt a bit like an anti-climax. The conclusion of 'things having already happened', as the girl says, is a bit strange remark for an explanation why she cannot change the past. It's the whole basis of the movie that she goes back in time to change the past, to change the future. The butterfly effect would of course be huge to undo that outcome of the first meeting between Locke and the girl (avoiding spolers here as much as I can)., but its just a bit strangely contradicting on just about everything.
Initially the trailer caught my attention and episode 1 brought what i expected.
After that things got less great. The Mansell character got on my nerves quickly. And it makes only little sense how nobody finished him off before. Plus the whole sidestory of a crooked cop keeping Mansell safe and our of prison doesn't make any sense. He didn't have the little book before. He never approached the crooked chop neither. It's a huge plothole.
The wokeness relationships also don't make any sense. Not the gay one and not the one between our main man good honest cop and the person of interest lawyer of the main villain. Such a good honest cop would never do that. Only reason for this to be a thing is coz the producers needed an interracial relationship added to the show and the writers could not think of any logical couples.
It's too bad this nonsense keeps on being stuffed down our throats. Because these kind of things do not add to the story. Especially not if done this stupidly.
Other choices made by several main characters also felt far fetched multiple times. But the woke bs really took away from the quality of the show.
Overall season 1 started great and then quickly quality dropped. Last few episodes I went to do other things with the sound playing in the back ground and I d watch occasionally. The whole Albanian angle felt like a bad steal from Barry, or Banshee or... So many other series.
I'll still give it a decent 7 out of 10. May have been closer to an 8 without the b.s wokeness.
