This is it folks, this is peak television. What we have here is one of the most gut wrenching and masterfully crafted episodes ever brought to screen. Absolutely fucking phenomenal with career best performances from Murray Bartlett and Nick Oferman. Holy shit this will stick with me.
THEY PROMISED ME ZOMBIES AND ALL I HAVE NOW IS DEPRESSION
What a beautiful episode, I don't remember an episode like this for years, very well done, just perfect.
Which version do you prefer? The Game or the Show? I will have to go with the show, its more happy, kinda.
"i was never afraid before you showed up" yeah you can stop right there, i was already crying :sob: i wasn't ready for all the TEARS TODAY
If I ever traveled to Avatar world, I would invent arrow proof cockpit glass for the helicopters and become rich.
A few minutes in and Iron Fist / Danny Rand is already getting on my nerves.
Wow only a 61% rating and it hasn't even been released yet. It's so bad people from the future built a time machine just to travel back to warn us!
Ever watched your grandma chase a rat around the house and think I should write a tv episode about this? No? Me either.
Jesus, that graveyard scene. Jon Berthal was fantastic there.
The first four episodes were amazing.
Like an orgy: lots of action and sensations, though a bit messy and will leave you feeling empty and under-satisfied when you're done.
Those of you who loved the charm and comedy of the first Ant-Man are going to be as let down as a Chinese weather balloon.
The Punisher was fighting to find redemption while Jon Bernthal was fighting for an Emmy Award.
Never commented on Trakt before, but wow what an episode! Felt compelled. One of the best bits of television I have seen in recent memory.
Tom Hardy, all by himself, almost makes this a good movie.
And, it's hilarious at times (which I believe was intentional, I think this movie is self-aware), way funnier than say Ant-Man and the Wasp.
There was just something about the banter between Eddie and Venom that worked extremely well.
But: the script is awful, the dialogue sucks, the production values are terrible, and anyone that isn't Tom Hardy comes from a much blander film.
So I cannot really recommend it, even though I kinda want to.
This is the lamest comic book movie in a while. The first act is terrible but once the symbiote finally get to Eddie Brock it picks up. The best part by far is Tom Hardy talking to himself. Everyone else is just bland. The effects are fine but the final fight is just a total CGI fest and kinda dull. This isn't worth paying for but it's worth watching to see Tom Hardy act crazy.
Edit: I did like it a little bit more on rewatch just because Tom Hardy is going all out.
We've seen this film 2012 times and the day after tomorrow it's not impossible that there will be yet another geostorm in a teacup.
But the first two acts of Greenland are more suspense than disaster and the film is all the better for it. Director Ric Roman Waugh does a great job of building tension around how people act in the face of a world threatening event and the sense of urgency rubs off on the viewer.
Sadly, though, the final act slips into the clichés one would expect from a film of this genre, but not badly enough that it erases the good work that precedes it.
The episode is boring, and flash back would have been better for a simple duration of 15 minutes to 20 minutes only, without going into many details that take up the episode time, which we have been waiting for a whole week.
I can't rate the episode more than 3/10
Another filler. Fast forward to 42'35, thank me later
This is giving Fast and furious a run for their money with the ridiculous shit.
They made this even sadder than the game.
Some great cultural elements and history continue to be explored, but once again a Marvel show uses almost an entire episode late into the series to flashback and provide a bunch of background information and exposition that forces the main story to a screeching halt right before the finale. This is something that the MCU Disney+ shows have really struggled with. I like what they explored in the flashbacks this episode and especially with Kamala traveling back to the partition, but I just think they spent too much time in flashbacks for this being the penultimate episode. We did get important forward plot movement but it felt somewhat rushed and tagged onto the end because we spent a large chunk of the episode outside of the main story. Either the episode needed to be longer or there needs to be more episodes in the season.
In case you were wondering if this is an accurate portrayal of what it's like to live on or close to the rez...We live on the Nisqually... they are nailing their roles lol
And YOU get an iron man suit..aaaaand YOU get an iron man suit AND YOUUU get an iron man suit ppphhhfffrrrttt
If I was 12 and it was 1986 I'd have given it a 9/10 and watched it again already
I really wanted to love this movie.
Visually, it's absolutely gorgeous! Unfortunately, the "friendship" which is supposed to be the emotional core of the movie rings completely hollow.
One of the two main characters is not a character at all. Lt. Hudner has literally zero characteristics (except not being racist), and the movie fails to make me care about him or even believe that he's a real person.
Why does he care about Jesse so much? Because he's black? Because Daisy asked him to in their one short conversation?
Such a disappointment. Not a terrible movie, but it could really have been great.
A MASSIVE improvement over a so-so first season, Daredevil never reaches the heights of Jessica Jones, but now stands as one of the strongest current shows. There are quite a few parallels to the later seasons of Arrow in plot and style, but Daredevil deals with the same issues much, much more skillfully. The new characters are welcome additions and incredibly well defined, with layered personalities and backstories. More of this, please!
Static filler borefest packed with bad dialogue. Should've at least spiced the pace up by alternating the generic teenage trash with present-set sequences in which Ellie clashes with infected and cannibals trying to get supplies for Joel, just as they did with the game.
Easily the weakest episode yet. The stuff we got was good, it was enjoyable, I liked the characters together - but it felt like it lacked any sort of resolution. This episode left me feeling unsatisfied.
I worry that the final two episodes are going to feel rushed.
That was the weakest episode of this season so far.
And I still don't understand why they needed to name a "random recurring character" James Kirk for no apparent reason, since it's obviously not Kirk (they could have called him Jim Carrey).
It's so predictable and cheesy, soooo CW.
I have always said that The Last of Us is a game that I would watch as a TV series. Now that I'm watching it on HBO, I'm thinking this is the way I'd like to watch a game being played on YouTube or Twitch or whatever you're streaming on.
The third episode was a slow one, focusing on Bill's backstory, which is very different from the game, but it's a wonderful change, deeply emotional.
In the game, I never had the chance to get to know Bill more, and now that I have, I'm grateful that this show is expanding on what was already a beautiful story.
This show, and especially this season, has helped me make the decision not to watch another thing that airs on CBS. Absolute garbage.
