I looked at it according to the chronological order. Find it makes no sense at all otherwise.
VIOLET: 24 YEARS BEFORE THE HEIST
GREEN: 7 YEARS BEFORE THE HEIST
YELLOW: 6 WEEKS BEFORE THE HEIST
ORANGE: 3 WEEKS BEFORE THE HEIST
BLUE: 5 DAYS BEFORE THE HEIST
WHITE: THE HEIST
RED: THE MORNING AFTER THE HEIST
PINK: 6 MONTHS AFTER
Episodes random order is such a bad idea 6 /10
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘The Little Mermaid’:
Halle Bailey IS Ariel. She was absolute perfection. From voice to vibe, she captured her essence impeccably. I believe a star has officially been born.
Melissa McCarthy had veryyy gargantuan tentacles to fill. And I think Pat Carroll would’ve been incredibly pleased with what she did with her sea witch.
I thought they built upon the original film’s story in all the right ways. Fleshing it out to make a little more sense. Providing more substance. While not everything was picture perfect, it worked and gave fresh magic to a beloved story.
Bonus Thought: I thought it was a fantastic movie to look at, especially under the sea. Gorgeous colors and visuals. Eye candy all around. And that includes Jonah Hauer-King. :pound_symbol:snack
The flowing hair in the water looks so cartoony. Cgi is awful. The actors are basically imitated the original voices, instead of using their own.:wastebasket::poop:
Incoherent plot, a bit too much unexplained (such as how come Keaton-Batman knows all about time travel?). Pacing was all over the place, and too many things got resolved by pure plot contrivance. And the effects looked absolutely awful. Not a single effect involving a CGI person worked, not even a little bt. And the attempts at deepfaking were even worse. Someone, somewhere in the team responsible for this someone should have pulled the breaks and said "no, the tech isn't there yet. We can't do what you want, not at this budget and with this amount of time". I'm almost sure someone DID point this out, and was apparently ignored. This is absolutely embarrasing. I might have been able to excuse these effects if I saw them five years ago on the Flash TV show, but in a "blockbuster" movie? No, not a chance.
Thre were things I liked. Mostly references etc. Cameos were mostly shit, especially the JL ones; most of those felt forced and uninteresting. But finally seeing Nick Cage fighting a giant spider? That was awesome.
A must watch after watching the main show! :sparkling_heart:
I'll miss this show.
i did not watch this whole show for her to do it with ben. tell me i just hallucinated. excuse me?? right after the last scene w her mom????
Good character development for Paxton all the way through. This episode stands out for me. I like this for Pax!
This served as a nice capper to Paxton's series story arc. It was incredibly rewarding to see him help Eric, who he wouldn't have given the time of day as a fellow student; he's grown so much as a character.
As if I couldn't love Trent any more, his idea of chilling is taking a gummy and opening up about his hopes and dreams.
I do not like Len. Jeff Garlin lacks the same fun energy of everyone else and has added a big bag of nothing to the show. Nirmala deserves better.
A fitting ending for a wonderful, unique show. I wish Kamala and Aneesa had been given more to do during the final season, but all of the other storylines and events more than made up for this. I'll miss this fun gang of characters.
This coming-of-age drama is extremely watchable, with a good balance of humour and heart. The casting is great. Will probably appeal more to teens and women than adult men. Only complaint is that Ben Gross is an anti-Semitic portrayal in the first season that doesn't upend the tropes it's playing on but instead reinforces them; this is consciously dialed back in the second season and beyond.
After 4 seasons, I think many people could watch themselves reflect in Devi's life, a person with intense emotions, kinda crazy, growing, finding herself, embracing her culture, creating strong relationships with her mom and family. Such a funny show.
Just let me get two things out of the way I think were weak storytelling.
First, putting the drive on the hub was the stupidest thing to do as it could only lead to her getting caught. It also was illogical as it was clear that they would just override it and/or claim it as false. Granted she didn't know about the Janitor room but she knew there was surveilance everywhere and because of that might reach the conclusion that all those feeds had to be watched somewhere. But the story needs to go on so I'll take it.
Second, its hard to believe that they didn't inspect the stuff they brought to Juliette or they would have found the note. Even not knowing what it meant they would not have let it through. Plus, from a storyelling point of view it was giving too much away. Would have been better to not show it. Instead they could insert a scene when Juliette is about to break down to explain that she didn't die. And speaking of dying, Where are all the others that went out? Does someone actually go out to collect the bodies ?
Now, for the big reveal at the end I have to say I didn't see that coming. After making us believe (and I did) that it is safe outside, not only do we learn it is not, but there are literally dozens of silos out there. Does that mean the whole of mankind lives underground ? My guess is that each one thinks they are the only one and each one does have someone taking care that it stays like that. But we still don't have an idea about why ?
There is one thing I noticed that I want to point out. When Juliette told Holland about the door below he seem genuinely surprised. As if he didn't knew. That was the moment he ended the conversation. Just saying.
So, I don't know the books but from reading elsewhere I understand we barely scratched the surface of the story. I wonder how slow they will go with this one. The second season is already confirmed but thre is always the chance of not getting a third, or forth, or however many they need to play this out.
I sure hope we're not getting left hanging in the air atsome point.
To anybody asking themselves "why display the green environment, even if just for the few moments before they die":
Well, so they'd clean the lens of course. A simple and cheap trick so nobody unpunished has to go outside to do so...
Like a workday: you go in and get the job done but do nothing remarkable and won't remember it in a week.
If you really want to watch a teenage girl coming-of-age cartoon, watch Turning Red instead.
An underwhelming effort from a company that seems to have fallen behind the curve. Creatively it’s pulling too much from Zootopia and Inside Out while not adding much of its own flavour, almost every choice in this movie is predictable. Sure, the racism/prejudice commentary is more aggressive now that we’ve entered the post-Trump era (seriously, you should go back and look at how Zootopia handled that same topic, it feels quaint now), but besides that it doesn’t bring much to the table. The worldbuilding lacks the clever intricacies of Zootopia, the pretty animation style has some unique textures but it’s no Across the Spider-verse, and emotionally it feels more like Illumination than Pixar. It’s a very straightforward, cheesy romcom with a formulaic set-up for the main characters (think Notting Hill, Crazy Rich Asians, and countless other movies your mom loves), some ok comedy (bad puns notwithstanding) and a boring adventure (fixing pipelines, how exciting). The score’s pretty interesting because it seems to pull a lot from Indian folk music, on the other hand the songs sound generic and overproduced. Overall, I’d easily recommend this over some other animated films from this year, as this does genuinely try as a movie. However, that doesn’t change that I expect both children and adults to be mostly bored by this.
4.5/10
Alicia is now everything she hated in Peter, all the character development (especially after the death of Will) has led to this horrible, liar, cheater, betrayer... I'm glad that the show was real and didn't give us an ending that would satisfy us just because, it gave us REAL character development and a REAL ending.
What the fuck did the writers think? the opposite of a happy ending: Alicia ends up ruining most of her friendships for helping out the flawed human being and prick of a husband she has. Good riddance.
Damn! Diane slapping Alicia on the face was one of the best scenes of the whole show! Just like a mother straightening up her toddler... Alicia sure had been asking for it for a while. I definitely enjoyed that bitter ending (as opposed to the cliché of a sugary sweet happy ending). Still, after two subpar seasons, the show didn't quite manage to end on a higher note (except for the slap scene — though, ironically, the need for such a scene already shows how much The Good Wife has been deteriorating for a while).
A special shout out to Will's "resurrection", I think that was a lovely addition to the finale, a genuine emotional highlight of the episode, like a luscious bowtie hugging a lackluster gift box. The show really wasn't the same anymore, without him.
But the best thing about this show ending was that the Kings moved on to making the splendid and absolutely irresistible, one season wonder, BrainDead.
All in all, this was a rather modest and somewhat unmemorable farewell to what quickly became my favourite law show of all time (so far).
I've never been so happy to see someone get slapped in my life. Frankly I've been waiting on that moment for years! As this series evolved Alicia slowly became everything she hated about Peter (a liar, a conniver, and a cheater) which was why she slapped him in the pilot, so hopefully Diane's slap brought her back to her senses and she returns to being the Alicia from the first few seasons that we loved. I'll assume that's what she was thinking as she walked away. Does this mean Diane is The Good Wife now? Also, if they wanted to parallel the pilot, they should have made Peter go to jail again because he deserved it.
If I could give this a lower rating then I would.
This episode felt like an epilogue for the previous season, or more so an apology/acknowledgement about last season's "Trump centric" theme. I mean i did love the third installment, but the shift of the focus was just not right. I know that life is unfair, and shit happens all the time, but that doesn't mean necessarily to lose our judgement. I missed the objectivity, so i was a bit glad with this opening, because it finally seems they accept that everything has an upside and downside too. I hope we get more lawyerly stuff in the future.
So, it's the end of the show, and the end of a journey for Diane. Didn't the show start out by her looking at villas in beautiful landscapes? And yet, this time it's her choice not to settle down. Loved Kurt and Lyle, loved their conversations in the stairwell, loved Diane's conversations with them - and Carmen again nailed it who she's going to choose in the end. Because not everything is about politics.
Jay leaving for the more radicalized groups while Carmen stays on the side of the law... well, it's not as though Carmen hasn't stepped over the line before, so who knows where she'll be another year from now.
The Good Fight always was brilliant when it held up the mirror, exaggerated things a bit... and it does so very effectively this time again. While I wasn't really happy for the last couple of seasons, the final half of this season returned to the focus and the high quality of earlier years. I'll miss this show. (And I wouldn't say no to a spin-off in DC's all female women's rights firm.)
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME ?!!??!?!?! I'M IN PIECES
last 15 mins I was having the most emotional full body reaction. I was sweating n crying n breathing heavy. I'M STILL CRYING NOW??
So many back-to-back laughs—our screening was having a blast! Hilarious performances, great ensemble, and some stealth feels that had a number of people sniffling and crying. Go see it, in a theatre, and bring friends because a crowd only enhances the fun!
Like an Asian Bridesmaid. Laugh out loud funny and crass.
Amazing episode but please stop using cliff-hangers I beg you... This should have been a double episode.
Welcome to the family, Scotty!! :hugging:
I'm glad he didn't start singing, like he does in that other parallel universe where he's a bard. :musical_note:
I still don't understand this whole thing about the Gorn now being a major threat to the Federation, but, hey, I had fun! :lizard::gun:
Nurse Chapel and Spock holding hands in the cold harshness of space was beyond romantic! :heart_eyes:
And did we witness an Aliens tribute in that particular scene with Captain Batel? :drooling_face::alien:
There were a few scenes in this episode where Pike's hair was quite curly... What does it mean?! That's character development, right there. :exploding_head:
Also, fuck you, cliffhanger, nobody likes you! :expressionless:
Don’t go into this movie with really high expectations and you’ll enjoy it. I know I did. It’s obviously a lower budget than most would expect for an active movie. But it’s still very much an enjoyable watch. Just don’t let the well known actors cloud expectations.
