Isn't it funny how the nazi-brigade thinks anyone in mainstream media gives a flying fuck about their opinions? But, damn, that coming out scene, and the reaction on mars, was a thing of beauty.
That sucks, I should have read the reviews before inflicting that turnip on myself ...
The dialogues were necessarily written by a college student, everything is implausible.
I want a razzie award for Michael b Jordan, he deserves it so much with his mono expression ...
Yet another terrific movie from Clint Eastwood - he's a much better director than actor. All the actors played their part well and the story flows without getting bogged down. 10/10
@Pezberrys @Dontfreakouttt Why are you even on this page if you hate it so much? You do know there's pretty much EVERY other T.V. show on this site? Go to one you enjoy?
Loved Nick Offerman, i didn't knew him well. you could compare this to Stand By Me; its not a masterpiece Stand by Me, but it was the movie this kept reminding me. still, one of 2013´s best.
i just randomly stumbled upon this on netflix earlier this morning, it autoplayed and i didn’t expect myself to like it so much!!! the portrayal, prejudice, and the characters are good so far. :whale:
The fundamental plot could have resulted in a great episode, but most of the potential got wasted.
Stamets & Burnham in their 'emotional' moments become a real burden for the show. Happens too frequently, often for silly reasons and the actors certainly don't show their best performances in such situations. It's painful when the real tragic and drama isn't about events in the script, but the performances.
My favorite episode so far. Yes, I'm one of those strange people who considered "Fly" to be the best episode of Breaking Bad!
I'm impressed by how much story telling and character development they manage to pack into each hour.
And superb acting by "Homer".
This movie was a huge disappointment! The only positive thing I can say about it is that the special effects where not half bad. The movie itself was childish, unfunny, unintelligent and generally really bad.
Some reviews giving this movie 9 or 10 stars (which is just ludicrous) are saying that people cannot handle the feminism in the movie. What feminism? Replacing the original actors with women is not feminism as far as I am concerned and anyway, if you care about such things should it not have been two women and two men to be politically correct? Also, the supposedly intelligent women in this movie behave in a typical old-fashioned Hollywood stereotype of women way. They are mostly downright silly. If I were a feminist I would actually have been insulted by this movie.
Then we have the male clerk that is dummer than a piece of rock. If someone had stacked four supposedly intelligent men and a single blond bimbo that is totally devoid of any trace of intelligence together in a movie the social justice warriors would have cried foul so loud that you could hear it across the planet. But since it is four women and a stupid male it is okay (not really). It is even feminism according to some people. What a load of bollocks.
There is actually a story in the movie although it is well hidden under the silly jokes and silly behavior. It is paper thin and rather silly in itself but it could have worked if the rest of the movie was up to snuff but sadly it is not.
As I wrote above the only good thing about this movie is the special effects. The few scenes that I actually enjoyed was during the big shoot out at the end which had some cool moments. I especially liked when Jillian pulls a pair of pistols out of her Ghostbuster suit and goes on a ghost killing spray.
Apart from that this movie is best forgotten
After #Picard 1x06 I finally understand that Deanna Troi was really essential in TNG. :thinking:
Jean-Luc seems to struggle to register any emotional distress, even among his familiar entourage and therefore frequently behaves like an insensitive moron.
God bless counselor Troi for informing him all these years!
My feelings about this show in general are still very mixed. But the start was certainly more promising than the recent episodes.
Maybe Jean-Luc can't do space anymore?
I loved the first 3 Bourne movies, so I was inclined to see this new series. It wasn't bad, the action was great in some parts; the plot, while confusing at first, made sense later and was intriguing; the acting was believable. But it just wasn't the same Bourne. Still a good watch though.
[Update below] What an unexpected treasure! Pure fantasy, but beautifully crafted. Characters you fall in love with, both flawed and innocent. The antithesis of an apocalyptic tale. Man still wreaks destruction yet in this movie nature recaptures the world. It is about hope. The central character is superbly cast and young Christian Covery wins our hearts. I highly recommend you get past any mental block you have against fantasy. This series is so good. I give this series an 8 (very good) out of 10. I hope Netflix renews it for other seasons, the season finale certainly gave us many paths to still walk down. [Fantasy Drama]
Season 3 was disappointing. Even Fantasy has to have some touch points to reality and this dystopian tale defied the limitations of their environment - no limit to energy, fuel, food. Maybe if we hadn’t had a COVID pandemic and saw, first hand, the impact on the supply chain of goods, this might have been overlooked. A ship that can navigate difficult passages without a crew. The last episode really crashes the credibility - the bad guys “following” the good guys through perils that were too dangerous for 3 let alone a gang of thugs blundering along. I was particularly off put by the forced “ethic” of the season. Real questions were asked but the answers were muddled and flawed. The acting was great. The cast has been solid through the series. They just needed better writing in this final kick at the can. I’d highly recommend the first two seasons if you like fantasy but the last season doesn’t add anything. I give the 3rd season a 6 (disappointing). I gave seasons 1 & 2 of this series an 8 (very imaginative) out of 10.
His best film yet. Is it exaggerated and manipulative? Yes, it's Michael Moore. What did you expect. However, he always does this to make a point that most Americans are too dense (or blinded by the idea of American exceptionalism) to get. We were once exceptional and he makes that point too. These ideas were originally American ideas. Yes, Europe has a better quality of life and we could too. As someone who has lived both places, but is American, I want us to have a better quality of life. I came back to America because I believed in this country. It's clear from this film that Moore does too.
Okay, this was a bridge episode. But had it to be so very boring? Did any previous Star Trek series ever have boring Mirror Universe episodes?
The only mildly interesting elements were the exchange between Mirror-Saru and Mirror-Georgiou and the other was about this unknown being and its portal. And the latter could have been so much more than just a decent time filler.
That probably wasn't their intention, but despite considering the Mirror Universe crew very unpleasant dull beings, I'd actually have to consider if I'd rather want to see a series about them. After they killed their Michael Burnham ofc.
I really enjoyed this movie. Left me smiling at the end... That is always a good sign.
I watched this movie as a spur of the moment thing. I'd thought it would be another period era romance smut film (which is exactly why I watched it, don't judge), with racial tension thrown in to set it apart. In the end, it became a commentary that applies to modern day, and not just about slavery of colour, but of social standing, spirit and the human race. I had no idea it was based on real lives, which I admit actually made me rate it better.
The costumes were beautiful, acting above average and a few stand out scenes. If you don't usually like period films, then the second half of the film might be more enjoyable for you then the first.
I really don't care anymore which new and yet somehow old and familiar mega crisis Star Trek is throwing at us in their next season. It's just one big bland mess.
And there always is a lack of growth and development in the story. 2x01 was in a pretty much new setting. This episode was in complete new setting and we can already tell that the next also will take place in a new setting, after the time travel.
Same for the characters, they contribute in their limited scope and that's it. No progress, no depth. No reason why you'd like or even just respect any of them.
What a wonderful TV serie, I just love the soundtrack. In ratings this serie will never be number one. You just love it, like I do. But many people will just hate it, I can understand that too. Perhaps the BEST tv serie ever made? NO.... Breaking Bad is still the best tv serie ever made.... no doubt. An other option, when you like too see good tv series, I do also love Chernobyl, what the fuck, it was shoot as a documentary, but it wasn't... very gooooood actors. It's all ready number one on the IMDB Top Rated TV Shows list. I did gave it a ten.
I mostly enjoyed this episode. It actually lays the foundation for some very promising stories in the future.
My only nagging concern is that we've already been there in the past. We had great opportunities for this show to carry the name "Star Trek" with honor. Let's hope that they use their chance this time.
Perfectly mediocre. Scarlett was out of character completely i do not know how she got involved in this type of movie. The only one stand out was Zoe Kravitz
I didn't realize until rewatching this much later, but this movie shaped my dating theory from an early age into "take no shit"
So she learned from the letters that Melmont lied and tried to steal the money from her. That he was a mass murderer.
Yet she decided that it would be wise to meet that man again, all by herself. Seriously, how stupid is that plot?
Hard Rain is one of my guilty pleasures. Beginning with the rainy scenario, the actors, the actually good story with some plot twists. I simply enjoy it.
I knew Emily Blunt from several earlier movies but it was The Adjustment Bureau that made me become a huge fan of her. And she didn't disappoint ever since.
Since the initial episodes, this series became highly favoured TV for me and I have now placed it in my top 40 list. THE GOOD FIGHT began by co-opting the creme du la creme talent of THE GOOD WIFE: Christine Baranski, Cush Jumbo, and then added another talented Brit, Rose Leslie, to the core cast. With great writing and the first season casting of some tried and true talent: Paul Guilfoyle and Bernadette Peters, it was off to a great start. Although I thought THE GOOD WIFE faded away and needed to end, this series was a Phoenix rising from the ashes. I initially gave it an 8 (superb) out of 10, expecting it to rise. The second season was 9s (superb) all the way, so, now, at the end of season 2, I'm giving the whole series a 10 (best television) rating out of 10 [Legal Drama] If you haven't seen any of it, I highly recommend this as one of your summer binges!
I had no idea what this movie would be about and that really did benefit my experience.
I'm probably overrating this episode by 1 point, because I'm too excited that we finally had another great episode for this show.
Anyway, it IS a great episode, with a nice mix of revelations and story + character development.
Oh, Danny. You naive precious little puppy. Clearly you haven't been in the real world for 15 years. You can't go around telling people who think you're crazy that you are a warrior and the Iron Fist. But aww, poor soul. He has no one. :( I'm also starting to like Joy. I mean she already had her doubts and I loved how she proved it with the M&Ms. Unlike her brother, she seems like a decent human.
Life of Pi is simply magnificent, a truly masterpiece and is now part of my all-time favorite movies.
From the technical point of view, it is astonishing, the colors dance with the forms to create landscapes to take your breath away, it is amazing to see how realistic a CGI can be nowadays, even if they have filmed 4 different tigers, Suraj Sharma (Pi) was never even near a real tiger.
Life of Pi is not just a survival story of a castaway in challenging conditions. While all this is present, it is a simple fixture for a table of allegorical representations of several life happenings, survival instinct, faith and affection. Interconnected, the film makes no judgments about the authority in relation to each other, leaving the choice to the viewer, who will decide according to his own disposition on life, faith and relationships.
The history is just perfect, it is full with symbolic meanings that you only realize at the end of the movie, both the introducing and the ending wrap the main history giving it even more meaning.
Ang Lee performs probably the most significant film of his career with the adaptation of the book bythe canadian Yann Martel. The reflection of Taiwanese filmmaker is noticeable in the way each image with meaning grabs and transforms simple scenarios as a boat on the water to subliminal images full of spiritualism.
Life of Pi is a technical marvel and a treasure film destined to become a modern classic. In my personal opinion, this is a movie you must see, and ofc among the best of the year.
Spectacular effects with a weak grip on realism. What do you expect from a Michael Bay film?
"This is a true story", but no doubt the real details are less…Hollywood.
