Watching this again 10 years later. Many things happened since, lots of tv shows came and went. Still this episode hold its place as one of the greatest season finale ever.
To stop feeling emotions, to stop wanting to feel them, is to feel death.
As a film intended to introduce the Star Wars world, the design and special effects that went into this are beautiful and add scope and detail to the original trilogy. The score is also a wonderful addition to the already iconic music. As an introduction to a new set of characters, the story of the discovery of Anakin Skywalker is poorly paced and lacks urgency, despite characters consistently reminding the audience that time is short. Too many cameos and bit parts for extraneous characters and dialogue telling us what is already being shown slow the film down considerably. Better editing would have resulted in a better film. Liam Neeson however carries the film with a great performance as Qui Gon Jinn and the villains are equally compelling, culminating in a stunning duel between the Jedi and Sith which is still one of the high points of the whole series.
I really don't think this film is as bad as everyone makes out. I get that it was disappointing but I wouldn't say it's significantly worse than Attack of the Clones. At least this Anakin can act. It does seem more aimed at younger audiences but what's wrong with that? I feel like it appealed to the kid in all of us and let us have a little fun in the Star Wars universe.
I wanted more Shuga here because the wigate drama was behind us right now... still rajah trew the wig to the floor I just can't xD
Not the best reunion at all I enjoyed seeing my fav queens again (Nina, Scarlet, Shuga, Yvie especially)
I hoped Ra'Jah would redeem herself, she didn't. And it is shocking how mean they all were to Scarlet. I mean, surely, she was cocky, but never harmed anyone or said anything behind their back, or stirred things up! Also sad how I think Brooke Lynn was the one to speak positively about Yvie, because it felt like no one else would?
This was the shadiest cast of all, I think. Because these were not spur of the moment feuds that resulted in loud, dramatic bursts, but they were really hurtful towards one another and carried this hurt all the way back home. I don't think these girls will be friends or get to share careers in the way other drag race girls are known to do.
i would die for five and klaus tbh
super funny, great action scenes, perfect cast, amazing soundtrack. the umbrella academy is one of my favourite comics and i was so happy to see it was getting the series it deserved!
i did not know what to expect as i've never read nor even heard about the comics before, but this is an awesome show! binged it in two days. obviously i cant say how close it follows the comic but i found it really entertaining and the characters very likeable.. well, most of them anyway. netflix has to renew it or i will be majorly disappointed. 9.5/10
An elongated origin story. Hopefully now that is done we will see a Season 2 to really sink your teeth into.
Great show for movie night. And it keeps you interested until the end. But keep in mind that it has a cliffhanger at the end.
Cant wait till the next season :)
I didn't expect it to be this good and fun.
The characters all really unique and create a fun dynamic.
The visuals and music are great, although it could some better CGI and more budget on a few occasions.
Kinda gave me a watchmen vibe.
Really looking forward to a second season.
This show is my new favorite. It reminded me a little of ´A series of Unfortunate Events' in the way that both have a very weird, funny and different way of storytelling and I love both.
All of the characters are very cool and unique, all bringing their own element to the table. There is a sense of mystery throughout the entire season and it all fits together nicely in the end. I'm thrilled that there is going to be another season because there is still a lot more to this story.
I loved everything about the series - music, casting, acting, cinematography... the list goes on.
I enjoyed it without being completely blown away.
Exploring the family dynamics of estranged adopted siblings with a wide range of super powers and a horribly emotionally abusive and exploitative father AND an apocalypse- things are gonna get weird.
The story was not predictable- certainly weird, but I didn’t know what was going to happen, which is good.
Some characters were better than others - Klaus, self-medicating his disturbing power with illicit drugs and Hazel the sympathetic time-travelling hitman in particular worked well for me.
The use of music was great. Some great songs giving a backdrop to many of the action pieces, plus Vanya’s classical music vibe.
Such a big fan of this. Was turned off by yet another SuperHero show but am soooo glad I watched this. Twice actually. Can not wait for Season 2. If Game of Thrones is at the top of my pyramid, this show, Preacher and Magicians, WestWorld all sit at the same #2 position
I finished episode 10 and was like,Where's the next episode? It was just getting good.I wanted more. Wish they had done at least 13 episodes. Glad to see there will be season 2.
Lasz friday I watched the first episode, the next day I watched the next 9... I liked it so much! Episodes includes some funny moments, but it isn’t a teen-drama or something like that. It’s so different what I expected!
Yes please, I would like a second season.
When your daughter couldn’t keep a secret for a day that you kept for 18 years until the day you died
The Expanse is one of the best sci-fi shows produced in the last years, as well as Altered Carbon.
The hell with that, the same suspense at the end of each episode, extremely good episode, I dunno how I am gonna wait for the next episode now XD
There is a lot of physics out there, I think it may be the paralle universes or the wormholes.
And of course the famous Amos quote
I have no clue what Holden is doing.
Me neither.
I wish that I can tell ya I've freaked out... but I am not.
Not even a little?
I haven't felt fear since I was 5 years old.
Man, you don't go through life without feeling fear.
No, you don't.
I own too many copies of this, yet won't stop buying it for every new platform.
The Borg will always be my favourite Star Trek "villain". They're ruthless, logical and rational (in their minimalist way) to the extreme, and pretty much scary as fuck (at least until Voyager soften them up, by humanising them a bit). I would always wet myself whenever there'd be another episode with the Borg, both out of excitement and fear. Of course, I was only a mere teenager back then. The excitement remains till this day, though. Last season's finale and this season's premiere made for some of the finest episodes TNG had to offer, in my humble opinion as a longtime fan of the show.
After binge watching 8 seasons of RuPaul's DR this movie made me understand things better.
Also made me realise how gay americans perceived and developed their community, while that wasn't happening in Italy for example, and now I can see how and why differents we are (sadly for us).
At the end of the day this movie should remind us what we've been through not long time ago. And I can see, back at the time, even among other gays, this movie could have been received vary bad or in a despicable way, like there is just one right way to be gay and show to straight people that if we pretend to be like them we maybe worth a bit; This movie is a big fat fuck to these bullshits and a good way to remember or learn it again.
These faux Jamaicans are an affront to real Jamaicans everywhere. Is Netflix really saying they couldn't find one anywhere to play the role?
Thank you, Wachowskis and Netflix, from all the fans of this much adored series for finishing this series SPECTACULARLY! This series debuted in June of 2015, was cancelled, came back for a stand alone episode in December of 2016, was reconsidered for a second season which aired in May of 2017 ending with a cliffhanger and no further episodes scheduled, and, then, responding to great fan support, the 2h 31m series finale was finally filmed and released this past weekend, June 2018. Have i mentioned it is a SPECTACULAR series? Filmed in US, Canada, Mexico, Brasil, Iceland, Scotland, England, Holland, Germany, Italy, Malta, Kenya, India and South Korea - it's not beyond belief that each episode cost Netflix $9 million. I don't know how many times I've blurted out, "I love this series!" while watching it. I love the acting, the profundity, the humour (even the inside jokes about itself and it's fans), the settings, the romance, the action, the diversity of stories, the life affirming concepts (from a humanist perspective). A warning to viewers - it has intensely salacious content (lots of sex), and the stories come from those living on the fringe of their worlds, and may be upsetting to the viewer, but, as excellent storytelling must be, it rings true to the various points of view. I'm sold on this series - solid 10 (totally awesome) out of 10 overall, and never an episode less than a 9 (superb). [SciFi Adventurous Drama]
