Decent episode but shouldn't have been the season premiere. It would've been better off as the season finale of the first season. I wouldn't be surprised if this episode was intended to be just that. It certainly would've worked a whole lot better. And Trigon's defeat was very anticlimactic. I'm sure that was because he won't be the focus of the season which is why this should've been the season finale of the first season and not this season's premiere. I don't get why it was decided otherwise, but it is what it is.
Jason Clarke? Really? Please Hollywood, stop hiring this guy... he's awful.
Well that was long. And stupid.
A film that just misses greatness can be more disappointing than a film that doesn't come close. Dream Scenario is outstanding until the last 20 minutes. It feels as though Kristoffer Borgli just couldn't figure out how to end it and ran out of time. Too bad. #BestNicolasCagePerformanceEver
On the surface this film is about a group of people who have been labelled “villains”, working together to save the world. But really, this film is about one man and one man alone, he isn’t strong, but yet he defies all odds and sacrifices his life to save his friends. His only power is his bravery, he is the driver of the van and the main character of this film, Milton.
In a show where people are killed all the time I really hope Sherry is one of these people and I hope it happens pretty soon.
Absolutely heartbreaking. Beautifully played by all and very much worth a watch. It's because of the acting and the attachment to the characters you will probably have as a result, that you might feel a sense of loss as the series draws to an end. I know I did.
Felt it was a little generic. If you take away all the "mentions" of Wild Buffalo Bill, the PTSD flashbacks to his arrest, and the overdone "You sure you're ready to go back to work ?" cliches ... well, you're left with yet another cookie-cutter FBI tracks a serial killer show.
It doesn't make it bad, just hopefully they have a little more in store, other than milking our nostalgia so we feel like sticking with a "meh" show.
EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED...
Dirk is the Doctor,
Todd is the companion,
the machine is Tardis,
THIS IS DOCTOR WHO!
Oh man the music is so bad and out of place with the theme and time period of the tv show. Who thought this music makes sense...
canceled after 1 episode ... -.- after a great episode, of i may say.
"i trust you with my life but i dont trust you with my heart" im not crying i just have a giant tree stuck in my eye....
The "original characters" being people of color who get whitewashed was the hilarious topping of the cherry on top.
Once again, the actors doing impressions/playing against type is the best thing the film has going for it.
Jack Black stole the last movie, this time that award goes to Kevin Hart (first two acts) and Awkwafina (final third).
Having said that, the movie that's build around the impression comedy isn't as good, nor fun, as last time.
The story takes the T2 approach of making a sequel, i.e. switch the roles that everyone plays, and keep the story the same.
Unfortunately, the approach can't save the film from its own poor choices regarding the filmmaking.
The action in this is quite poor, to which some people will undoubtedly respond: well, it's supposed to be cheesy.
To be fair, I probably would've given a pass for it if there was an analog charm to it, but I just refuse to do that for lazy, digitized ugliness.
Moreover, the comedy isn't as sharp and witty as it was before.
Surprisingly, there's a lot of reliance on slapstick, which almost makes it feel like this was made for a younger demographic than the last one.
There's not a single scene that matches Karen Gillan's outstanding seduction scene from the previous film.
Also, there's a lot of expository dialogue that shouldn't be there.
Finally, the ending begs for comparisons to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom , which makes me go: out of anything you could've done, why on earth would you willingly choose to go there?
4.5/10
so keke palmer’s character is basically brenda from scary movie?
Dropped it after the first season, sure it may not be the worst show or sure it may not even be bad but for me at least it felt pretty boring and repeditive after a while.
Vicki Pepperdine and Joanna Scanlan's cameos (from Getting On UK) were brilliant! Totally unexpected haha!
The web comic is clever enough, but this does not translate well into an extended animated show.
Legend has it, that the script took forever to finish. Every time they finished a line, it disappeared
The total body count is five.
The cause of death is....stupidity.
I wonder if this movie would be funnier on a re-watch with that in mind.
This finale left way too many unanswered questions and I don’t think it was able to pay off all of the intrigue the show built. With that being said, some good emotional themes were there and I think those were paid off pretty nicely, but the payoff and answers to all of the mystery surrounding the plot felt a little lackluster. It’s almost as if they could’ve done something much more satisfying and cooler but instead what we got was just okay.
Im not really a fan of reality shows. The only reason i watched was because im a fan of Nikki Glasers stand-up but she hardly had any screen time & the bits/skits were corny and ho hum at best.
To be honest the way they fvcked over Garrett at the end was COMPLETE BULL$HIT. He won fair and square according to how they explained the rules in the first episode. They straight changed up the rules so an unlikeable person wouldn’t walk away with the money. Save the Kobayashi Maru situations for Star Trek. This HAS to be a scripted show because otherwise this “game” had no integrity.
As a viewer i feel robbed and lied to. I will not be watching season 2.
let's get the important stuff out of the way
onto the actual review:
do you like mike flanagan? do you love incredible actors getting to give intense monologues that make you kind of want to die? are you okay with the fact that literally everything is going to be sad (of course you are, if you said yes to the first question)?
then watch this. you'll enjoy it, no question. just be down for a slow pace, bleakness and intensity, and the usual not-quite-horror vibes. flanagan's work never rests on horror laurels and i feel like it makes his pieces stronger.
also: i spent the entire time leading up to the actual release having no idea that hamish was the Mysterious Charming priest character and spent the whole first episode going ZACH WHY ARE YOU SO SAD AND NOT MYSTERIOUS but tbh it all made sense soon enough.
anyway, for those of you wondering who shouldn't watch this: a LOT of talk of death. alcoholism. small town trapped feelings, and loss of life that gradually picks up pace throughout the series. i'd say skip this if bleak content puts you in a bad place. i also have a relative recently diagnosed with alzheimer's and that made the first couple episodes a bit harder.
since it's pretty obvious from the first or second episode, the rest of my comment isn't technically a spoiler BUT if you like going in totally blind, stop now!!
i think the way this show handles vampirism mythology is actually quite unique. it focuses far less on the vampire lore itself and far more on how easy it is for people desperate for answers to the universe to fit everything from completely ordinary occurrences to an actual batwinged monstrosity into a religious context if they just quote the right piece of scripture.
Can’t wait for season 2 where she gets put in jail :relaxed:
Really enjoyed that,and fingers crossed that crazy bitch gets what she deserves,about twenty years.
LISTEN don't read anything about this. don't watch a trailer, don't do ANYTHING except this:
set aside 3 hours on a not-weekday.
get your favorite bottle of liquor or favorite 2 bottles of wine.
Start watching and drinking at the same time, and don't stop until the finale.
if you follow my instructions precisely, then you'll have an absolute blast.
IT IS A CHALLENGE the first 5 episodes but trust me, it's so fun
