For the love of god what is going on with Boyle’s hair?!
The fake octopus at the beginning was so bad it was hilarious.
So bad this could be a franchise killer..
Some of the best fighting scenes I’ve seen on a television show.
The show is ok. Reminiscent of the shield and sons of anarchy, but not as good as either.
But! The real question is why is everyone so sweaty all the time?!
The set work alone is worth watching this show. Some of the things they come up with are astonishingly intricate and beautiful.
I do agree the pacing of the show is a bit on the slow side... but I love character driven television, so it's not that big a deal for me.
Sounds like a slightly modified Saw. When in doubt remake!
Never read the book, but I liked the movie. This.. this is just bad.
Zac Efron as Eddie Brock: April Fools!!
Black hole sun on a player piano. Fantastic.
Incredibly excited for the new season. Tomorrow at 12:01!!!
The hook for this show isn't the financial misdoings, but in the same vein as House of Cards, this is a show about wielding power and leverage. The fun is in watching the characters finding angles on each other and exploiting them.
Hopefully the fun continues. The acting is good, the characters are compelling and the financial industry is a good enough back drop to provide interesting storylines.
I'm really not a big fan of crossovers. i refuse to watch yet another procedural because i'm barely into SVU anymore as it is.. so i ended up just watching this as background noise and caught the gist of what was going on. boo crossovers.
This show just keeps getting better. The introduction of the Inhumans is awesome. It's not as jaw dropping as a Marvel blockbuster movie, but the story line has progressed well, specifically Sky's. Looking forward to how they draw this into the upcoming Avengers movie.
This show had big shoes to fill replacing breaking bad in it's time slot. So far, it's doing well. Very, very character driven, yet in a way that isn't so slow that it bores me.
It's Oldboy on a train.
I watch this and am really impressed with McConaughey. I used to equate him to the male version of Katherine Heigl. Not a bad thing, but his roles didn't have much depth. At least his successful roles didn't.
Also, I get the Hannibal vibe as well. I think it's because they slow the pace of the show and let your mind fill in the blanks between the dark imagery they're using.
Went in hoping for something closer to the Harrison Ford style Jack Ryan. Ended up with something that was a little too Jason Bourne.
This is awesome. Well done, Geekritique!
i was also pretty bored. great movie to watch while working though because there won't be much of a distraction..
I wouldn't go as far as to say it's better than Homeland, but that's because I love Homeland and it's character development and intertwined plot lines.
That said, I was shocked at how much I enjoyed this show. I was expecting more nbc drivel.. you know.. good for background noise while you're, say, working on a website (Flashback springs to mind..). I ended up completely focused on the show, so well done.
Thought it was great! The opening scene was fantastic and loved the way cut in the origin story with flashbacks.
So first, let me say that I enjoyed it and will probably watch again someday when I want some mindless violence.
That said.. Seriously, this movie is so freaking close to Die Hard, it borders on plagiarism.
=== spoilers ahead! (kinda)
Similarities:
- one man who is down on his luck perseveres against a small fanatical group to save the day
- good guy and bad guy taunt each other in the same building via radios
- good guy gets to the bad guys first "sub objective" first (explosives is to die hard as little kid is to OHF)
- helicopters come to save the day, but the bad guys are ready and decimate the rescuers
- main bad guy and good guy fight 1v1 with their loving wife.. err, president watching on
Eh, anyway.. I liked it and would recommend.
Side note: every big blockbuster for this summer had a trailer when I went to see this. I hate watching trailers, but man am I stoked for this summer. Iron Man 3, Oblivion, After Earth.. Nom.
Exactly as @CaPtaiN_eYeSaNo said, mindless fun. Definitely ok with that for a Saturday afternoon movie.
Also known as..
Die Hard 5: The Movie That Hates and Destroys Vehicles
Seriously.. how many cars died in the making of this movie. There should be a stat for that.
Also, I very much enjoyed this movie. Good times all around. It was equal parts ridiculous and excitement. Just what I was expecting.
The ranking of Die Hards is now as follow: 1,3,5,4,2
I give 5 the upper hand on 4 because Justin Long got on my nerves in 4.
It's just so bad.. I did find it useful to put it on while working. Makes pretty decent background noise.
Best valentine's day ever! Seriously though.. that is happening.
Seriously.. I can sink hours going through lists like these. Awesome stuff!
If this show gets more than a season, I'll be surprised.
