I was recommended by a colleague to watch this show. To put it bluntly I was sceptical - it seemed just like a kids cartoon, and I am in my mid 30s - but I decided to give it a go, mainly because he kept saying "trust me"!
Over the past month I have watched the entire series and must say I was quite impressed. While it definitely is aimed at a younger audience, like all good children's stories it appeals to parents and children alike. If anything, it appeals to adults because it reminds them of what they loved about children's stories as kids.
The first season took a few episodes to get going. It took me a while to get into it and embrace the characters. The early episodes tend to be generally self-contained stories, however towards the end of season 1 the story takes off, and the story become much more serialised. From then on out it is a really enjoyable ride all the way through to the series 3 finale. If anything it gets better from season to season.
The animation is first rate for TV. I have never really watched any anime (or anime-style, in this case) series before so I was definitely going into this green, but I found the quality to be first rate. The characters were also very well written, and the constructed world of element benders was believable within its mythos. I highly recommend this to kids and adults alike. Better still, watch it with your kids.
At the end of the day, they are just telling good stories, and who wouldn't enjoy that?
The lady who plays the third sister, is an awful actress. Disney needs to stop catering to kids when it comes to marvel and star wars, too many scenes/stories are so childish.
Someone move this episode to special instead of season 1
Timothee Chalamet absolutely won over my heart with this one. When I was growing up I loved both renditions of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so when I heard they were making a prequel I was definitely intrigued. This was everything my heart could want and more, the songs were sombre and bittersweet - like something out of your childhood dreams. The acting was good, corny at times, but it was the sheer wittiness that gave this film its charm. I would definitely recommend checking this out.
This might have been the best season so far. Absolutely phenomenal.
And what an ending. I was thinking about a million ways they might resolve this but that took me completly off guard.
One of the best episodes in GoT history :fire:
Very good remake of the Original classic from 94 and yes the story is exactly the same but that's not necessarily a bad thing. A new generation gets introduced to this amazing story and for those like me who grew up with the original it's nostalgia overkill! So everybody wins. Btw the animation is just gorgeous.
I watched Grave of the Fireflies in the mid 90's and was deeply moved. I watched it again in 2004, then having a 4 year old son, and found it profoundly painful in a way I hadn't before.
A remarkable achievement.
I find it sad that so many people are so narrow-minded that they will not watch a movie that is black and white or, in this case, is subtitled. I feel sorry for people who refuse to watch a movie like Life Is Beautiful just because it is a foreign film. They have no idea what a beautifully acted and directed film this is, and they'll never know what an amazing experience they are missing.
Life Is Beautiful manages to walk the extremely thin line between humor, fantasy, and tragedy. Sure, the film is clearly comedic, but nevertheless it manages to very effectively communicate the tremendous losses suffered in the Nazi concentration camps and has scenes at least as intense as any scene in Schindler's List.
This is one of the best films that I have ever seen. It manages to be so encompassing that you hardly notice the subtitles are even there. I proudly cast my vote of 10.
Both a love letter and a proper continuation of the 90s show, made by people who obviously love the original cartoon, but also the X-Men characters and storylines. The intro theme is back, the characters are back, most of the original cast is back, the campy dialogue and storytelling format are back too. At the same time both the animation and the way themes of prejudice are presented have been updated in a way that feels more relatable to modern audiences.
It's clear that a lot of effort and heart were put into this, and despite hitting some heavily nostalgic notes, it definitely doesn't piggyback on nostalgia alone. Bringing back old, beloved shows and franchises is always risky, and it's not going to meet everyone's expectations, but if it has to happen then the best way to go about it is with care for the original material and understanding of what made it special to those who love it.
Watching this movie was such a trip. Seeing them happy only broke your heart even more.
a film which have 11 action hero but every heros entry was superb
Do not waste your time on this completely pointless movie. The shit Hollywood endorses these days is just sad. I literally have no clue what the hell the point of this movie was.
Okay. So far, I didn't care about Marty's wife. I didn't mind being a character at all. But the last few episodes have changed, and I'm starting to feel the same way about her as I did Walter White's wife in Breaking Bad. Annoying bitch. She's not doing anything to save her family, as she says, it's just her business and power.
i thought this was a really fun episode
This episode 11 should be listed as special or bonus episode.
Spoiler: Loved the voting subplot. I think they missed a great opportunity. It would have been much funnier if the guy went back and voted, and Larry really was the cause. Not to mention how relevant it would have been on the importance of voting.
Seinfeld finally breaks out as NBC’s premier comedy in its fourth season, delivering some of the show’s best and most iconic episodes (not there’s anything wrong with that). In a rather daring move, the show attempts a parody of its own real-life creation by having a season long arc following Jerry and George as they pitch and develop a sitcom pilot for NBC. Featuring such classic episodes as “The Trip,” “The Bubble Boy,” “The Contest,” “The Outing,” and “The Pilot,” the writers make a concerted effort to get creative and take the show to new places. There are also a number of guest stars featured, including Corbin Bernsen, George Wendt, Clint Howard, Brian Doyle-Murray, Denise Richards, Teri Hatcher, and Jeremy Piven. Incredibly funny, Season 4 of Seinfeld moves the series into the more surreal, yet the laughs “are real and they’re spectacular.”
