This too early to have a filler episode. Waste of an hour. Watch the first 5 mins and last 5 mins. Rest has zero value to story progression.
When you order a pepperoni pizza and they deliver a pepperoni pizza, do you complain they didn't serve you filet mignon? This film is the pepperoni pizza of action films. If you want an action film, this has got it. It's not especially new or revolutionary or poetic, but at least it's got action from beginning to end which is more than many other action films of late.
The last two episodes are the ones that finally ties the story and and shows dahmer facing the consequences of his acts. if you like the show but think the "last 2 episodes felt useless" or something similar... there's something deeply wrong with you. seek help.
Me going “Why is this episode called ‘Cassandra’? There’s no one in it named Cassandra.” Until I remembered my Greek mythology, and I’m super impressed with whoever though to give her name to the episode. What an awful curse to live that way.
Why must they constantly jump around in the timeline for no apparent reason? I detracts from the story.
There's something about the pacing of this show I'm not really into it
since the episode didn't include any kind of note at the end, i want to give anyone else watching a quick reminder that those police officers did in fact speak like that to the operator and that their homophobia was not dramatized. if anything, this series has had to play down some of the details of the actual events for the sake of palatable television.
sandra smith and nicole childress were black women, konerak simthasomphone was from laos, and these officers and dahmer were white. there is a reason that konerak was brought back to dahmer's apartment that night. there's a reason those police officers didn't bother to investigate the smell of decomposition in dahmer's apartment. this was racism and homophobia, plain and simple.
"fun" fact: officer balcerzak was made president of the milwaukee police department in 2005, and retired in 2017 with full benefits and pension. the milwaukee department even posted a tweet congratulating him on his "service."
These fake accents are so irritating. I can't fathom how someone wouldn't be distracted and pulled out of the story, with James Cosmo's Scottish accent constantly bleeding through his laughable attempt at sounding vaguely Slavic. Are Russian speaking actors really so hard to find?
Common creators, have some guts and get on with it
Well this was an insanely stupid start to the season. It’s 2022 and both Russians and Czechs is speaking English internally, WTF!!!
But the most stupid is the decision to make Jack Ryan an Spec. Ops. guy. It annoys me more than anything.
Other bad things was the action, dialogue and the horrible editing.
I watched this because it was supposed to be so unsettling and emotionally jarring, but i was greatly disappointed. For me, it was very slow and just not gripping or moving enough to get into. Acting is good, but i found myself waiting for the parts that other reviewers found so "haunting" and they just never came. Just another movie about war and how evil the nazis were.
The 2nd part of this movie is phenomenal. The 1st part however, although ok, could've been a lot better.
This is easily the most ambitious Bollywood movie in terms of VFX and overall production value. There are a lot of great things I can say about it but the one thing that really brings it down is the romance between the leads. It's cringe-inducing and feels quite unnatural as it constantly gets in the way of the movie's lore and world building. The movie starts off great with an amazing fight scene but after that it really fails to reach that same level. The ending sequence is epic in every sense but felt a bit all over the place. Overall, I don't hate it but I feel like its weak points really brings it down.
Brahmastra is basically a shit movie with shitty writing, more shitty acting, brightest contrasting colours that can blind you forever, loud dialogue delivery can leave you deaf for eternity and a cheap weird laser show of random bullshit. The story mainly focuses on nothing but vfx, vfx, vfx and vfx. Wasted all the cameos. Songs are average. BGM is decent. And dear Alia, stop overacting and Ranbir bhai, stay 69km away from action movies. Tumse na ho payega ji. Nahi ho raha hai. Overall, it's not even one time watch so ignore it. OTT pe dekh lena. And the movie is not at all rooted to our Hindu culture. Not even close. So kinda made a mockery out of their own promotional strategy. 1/5 max.
One of the best anti-war movies of all time. I was shaking and had heart racing the whole run-time.
One of the most memorable cinema-experiences I ever had. After the credits rolled, no one made a move for two minutes. Everyone sat quietly and thought about what they had seen. At one point early in the movie almost everyone had also stopped eating their popcorn.
Watch it in Cinema if you can. Watch it in german if you can. Watch it in german with subtitles if you must. Or wait for it's Netflix-Release. But watch "All Quiet on the Western Front" no matter what. And learn from it.
One of the most intense movies you'll ever see.
Snoozefest. mother! 2. The way people were talking about this movie like it was the scariest thing ever in the world is just insane. I was bored for most of it. I'm done with movies that stay on the same slow zoom on a stationary character with increased buzzing and then CUT to silence. It's been done to death. And the scene that is supposedly so traumatizing, that was a great scene, I shouted, it was pretty sweet, but it's not a "things are different now" situation. This falls right in line with other "modern classics" that were hyped beyond for me like It Follows, The Babadook, and the Witch. I don't care for any of those and a lot of people do. But I'm just not seeing it. Same thing with this. I will give props to the trailer though. Great trailer.
A comedy should be judged by if you laugh. A horror movie should be judged by if it is frightening. If this movie was judged by its ability to put an audience to sleep, it would be great. It's a horror movie, though, so a fail. I'm not saying I saw the end coming, but all the characters acted like they were just serving the plot instead of being actual people. Toni Collette's performance (or was it the script?) was incredibly uneven as she moved from unaffected to completely traumatized...sometimes within the same sequence. I actually liked the final story reveal and it was certainly built throughout. The problem is it took forever to get there and I hated every character so much, I couldn't care less if they lived or died. Garbage that every critic wanted to use "heightened" in a review will be lining up to kiss its ass. Here's the thing...my theater was full and never even a gasp. Did hear one dude snoring, though. See at your own risk.
I never was a fan of Forrest gump though Hanks acted really well in that one. Laal Singh Chadda - the entire army battle scene was the only thing I loved about the film.. last one hour was literally a snooze fest. the constant humming after every sentence made me want to punch amir khan.. instead of playing an autistic person amir khan looked like a clown with weird eye rolling and expressions. horrible
Incredibly uninspired.
I haven’t seen one of these in a while, but even I noticed that a lot of its visuals and ideas are directly lifted from better comic book movies.
And it’s ugly, really ugly. Way too heavy on the generic orange/teal color palette, way too much slomo, not a single ounce of tangibility.
They should've just gone all in with making the artifice a stylistic choice, make it look like 300 or something. The hybrid of stylized CGI noise with a world that’s supposed to look at least somewhat real doesn’t work.
The movie itself will have lost any sense of relevancy within a couple of weeks. Yes, despite ‘changing the hierarcy of power in the DC Universe’, there’s not much of interest going on here.
I just feel bad for Dwayne Johnson, the man clearly has a talent that suits this type of film, but he’s stuck in a time where adrenaline driven action filmmaking is at its absolute blandest. This needed way more bite and edge in order to cover up for the basic premise. It’s such a shrug of a movie as is.
3.5/10
This finale should've been the whole season. How come in a show about the Rings of Power the forging of the three rings felt like a 10-minute throwaway plot whereas harfoots' goodbye took so long and got so much attention?
The two character reveals were not a surprise and a huge disappointment. The biggest let down to me was not seeing Sauron in his fair disguise, manipulating the elves of Eregion. They could've spent EPISODES exploring Sauron's power and deceit, building up his friendship with Celebrimbor, so that later the betrayal would actually hurt. Why rush Sauron living in Eregion and the forging of the rings plotlines but spend several episodes on the harfoots????
What i did enjoy were the visuals, especially the shots reflecting Sauron and Galadriel in the water, and the final shot of Sauron in Mordor. I thought Charlie Vickers' performance was particulary good in this episode and he's the one I'm most curious about going into season 2.
wow they are running out of ideas to how to use the whole thirty minutes. The 4th wall break would have been funny if it wasn't the only thing that was happening all the time.
This is getting better by the minute and more intense….those 2 are nothing but power together!!!
The Real Housewives of Westoros
In episode six, Rings of Power Season One's slow burn abruptly bursts into an inferno.
The Good: Major plot threads finally knit together; the fight choreography is impressively on point; key characters take decisive, emotionally resonant steps; we're treated to some jaw-dropping imagery. I wish the whole series so far had been more like this episode.
The Bad: The final battle confusingly cuts from: 1) a pitched nighttime siege to 2) a bright daylight charge to 3) a dawn melee. Did the cavalry descend into a really shady valley, just ahead of the morning sun? The editing didn't make this clear.
The Ugly: The episode's swift, sudden plot and character developments reinforced my sense that the series has been poorly paced, overall. Instead of the meandering journey we got, I'd rather the season had built steadily toward this point.
Still, quite the spectacle.
Even as someone who initially liked this series, these last few episodes have been painful to watch. Especially this one. It was only 30 minutes long and I still stopped halfway.
Jessica Gao is just an outright awful writer who disgraced every actor and actress in this show by ruining a wonderful Marvel character. If she believes that every man is like this, she really requires substantial help. It's really terrible. If I weren't a completist and wanted to know everything about the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I would've already abandoned this show. I will have to endure all of this, tragically.
Had to switch it off this week. I just can't.
i didn't think it was possible for an MCU show to get worse with every episode, but She-Hulk somehow manages to up the cringe factor every week. ep 6, and once again, nothing of interest happens, which is a common theme for this show. Jen goes to a wedding, her friends back at the office represent a man who gets out of marriage by killing himself (he is immortal) and that is basically it
they devote a few seconds at the end of the episode to the actual plot of someone wanting She-Hulks blood
