Very good 20min film that captures what many Deaf children experience in a hearing world. Would definitely recommend
The ending absolutely broke my heart.
Not my thing, found myself fast forwarding a bit.
This had the potential to be so good..
I didn't have high expectations from a Hollywood movie but I didn't expect to dislike the main character and his wife.
They're supposed to be these moral, upstanding, button-up types.. ok, fair enough.
They tried to paint him as this super vanilla, super nice, awkward, two kids and a picket fence type.. kinder than all other men before him.. he would NEVER hit on the escorts, oh no!
Yet he had no qualms about driving away and leaving them on their own with others.. not once but a few times. The wife encouraged him to go back to check but he really didn't want to.
Then they mixed up conservative morals (don't agree with escorting) with jealousy/distrust (don't trust him in the same room as 3 escorts).
Overall he came across as a "nice guy"(entitled, self centered, judgemental) rather than a genuinely nice guy. Yes he changed in the end, but the whole thing was still so... self serving.
In the golden age of sci-fi, fantasy and magical movies.. it is no longer good enough to create something sub-par. Meh.
10 years ago, when series like The Vampire Diaries started, I could wade through the shitty half of a first season until it became more complex because there were not as many other options.
Even The Expanse had a rocky start for some people, but it broke amazing ground later on.
The key was.. both those series had at least one redeeming character or plotline that the audience could become invested in.
With Superstition, I felt like I was watching a combination of tired old cliches, awful tropes, regurgitated scripts and lines.. even reactions and facial expressions .. been there, done it all a thousand times before.. minus any authenticity.
All the characters annoy or bore me. They feel hollow.
There's nothing unique or engaging or connecting for the audience, in the script.
The cliffhangers feel tacked onto the end of each episode purely for the purpose of getting you to watch the next one. Cheap.
I tried my best but after 3 mind numbing episodes.. I gave up.
They tried to be the next Supernatural but it just doesn't work..
Just realized Peter Dinklage is in the British and the American version haha
British version is 110% better though.
What looked to be an interesting idea and started out well(on the drug side of things), turned out to be rather dull...
It was full of cliche lines, overused tropes and an inability to convincingly connect with the main character's motivations beyond their initial introduction.
It's not the worst film, easy entertainment.. just dont expect anything remotely unpredictable.
Or even a romance that doesn't feel basic, forced, or expected. Colouring inside the lines.
Even their deaths leave you feeling a disconnect, apathy... Ok, so what's next?
It's disappointing, because some of these actors have done amazing works elsewhere.
I gave it the benefit of the doubt amyway, waited for some great twist at the end.. but even the ending leaves you wondering if that was really it?
"They suck at school".
Aaaaand they suck at acting.
And the script sucks beyond belief.
To quote TW "I felt actual physical pain watching you"
One of the most ridiculous and somehow still mind numbingly boring YA (or) vampire movies/tv I've seen so far.
I watched to the end, unlike everyone else I know. Never improved. Never roped you in. Couldn't care less about any of the characters.
Incredibly predictable to the point of being trite.
The worst part is.. some of those actors are amazing in other productions.. but they're squandered here.
