The acting. I need to start at the acting before anything. Every single person on that screen was every inch of believable. Even that dog, the dog, amazed me with its acting skills.
Next up is the cinematography, it was filmed almost like a documentary and I think that's what makes this different from most movies for sure. I loved feeling like these characters were real.
The story and the dialogue are both top-notch, and the ending is very controversial, I'd say. Also, the soundtrack is both soothing and chaotic. I love it.
The only reason I'm not giving it a higher level is because I didn't feel connected enough to any of the characters to care enough. The case itself is interesting, but the answers are too thin.
30 minutes in, and I'm balling lakes of tears from both eyes. Absolutely, anything to do with children will always make my blood boil. It doesn't matter who or what the kid is. They are innocent lives that have no idea about anything but the role models around them. The way Dan is only one of a billion makes me want to throw up my whole body. Amanda Bynes, Kenan and Kel and so many more were my role models as a kid, and now these people are role models for a totally different reason. I can only imagine how every single cast and crew member felt because my body is in pain from the amount of anger and helplessness I feel. I'm so glad more and more exposure is coming out. Power in the wrong hands is pure evil. An excellent documentary that makes you want to stop thinking.
Oh man, this messed me up on another level. Such a beautiful comfort movie. Everything about this is comfortable, even the scary things. So creepy yet so cute, so strange yet so wise. The writing was so well done as was the execution. Every time I thought 'it's falling flat', I was proved wrong. It made it more cosy in a way. That as well as the score, all the sounds, all the acting, all the animations and cgis, all the everything. Ugh, I can't get over the wisdom and mystery behind this. Netflix has more misses than hits, but the hits really do hit. It's like an original copy of Interstellar. Life and mind altering type movie. Best Netflix movie of the year.
Hans Zimmer and most of the dragon work were the best part about this. The acting was fine, and the dialogue was mediocre. The cgi and background were terrible in a few parts. The story really annoyed me because although it is a fantasy, it still makes no sense. The last of kind remain in eggs and they get killed as well as your land being invaded, what you doing? Personally, I'm pulling a dracarys and setting fire to the sky's INSTANTLY. I'm only telling you that because it's entirely predictable. This movie tries hard to be 'WoKe', but it's empty. Overall, painstakingly bad storytelling and story.
Wasted potential once again. Kate Winslet is immense. Matthias is immense. The acting was phenomenal, full stop. The dialogue and dramatisation was insanly hypnotising, I couldn't take my eyes and ears off any monologue. The comedy isn't necessarily funny but outrageous enough to make your whole face blink. The story was strongly driven by real-life political and personal issues, and I loved it. The plot became really rushed, unfortunately. The juice was definitely there, but the juicing wasn't. I know we shouldn't get every answer, but we shouldn't be left with 99 questions. I just wish they had given us more.
The length and pace really do help in building up a connection with Knox that by the end, I was on the verge of tears. It's definitely a mind-bending plot with some unforgettable acting. The editing was almost cut as sections, I really didn't like it at first, but it put me in the shoes of Knox just that little bit more. I won't lie, I got bored a few times because i thought it was going to be more of an action flick, but halfway through, I was invested, and by the end, I was satisfied. It's far from perfect, but for the thought-provoking and quiet movie it is, I'd probably recommend it.
Only 20 minutes in, and it's definitely not 'grrrreat!'. The casting and acting to start with is UNBEARABLE, and so is the comedy. Normally, I'd recommend a full-blown meal with any food related movies, but you'll be fine, even if you've skipped breakfast. Another big Netflix flop. Production was big. Everything else was a flop. Especially the sound effects. Anything sound related for that matter, dialogue included. I thought I was in a never-ending college lecture. How did such a colourful and tasty movie feel so dull and bland?
What in the world did i just watch? Some movies feel like an exploitation of the directors fetishes. If it's not too creepy and makes sense, I let it pass. If it makes me go through mitosis and makes no sense at all, then there's no excuse. Kelly Rowland turned into a mannequin, and every other actor seemed to be either extremely under acting or very much over acting. The whole plot, if that's what you call it, was terrible. The characters are even worse but nothing as bad as the screenplay of the terribly acted out acting by actors who are acting in a movie with a terrible plot terribly directed and poorly produced by Tyler Perry and Netflix whom are equally washed out.
Honestly, if it wasn't for the slow plot and the ages not making any sense what so ever I would have loved this. The story was heartwarming, heartbreaking, funny, and relatable all at the same time. The soundtrack was headboppingly perfect. It made me cry and headbop, sometimes at the same time. The characters were played brilliantly by the actors, but the ages they were given took me out so many times. I loved the morals and portayal of family, friendship, relationships, and just life overall. The first time experiences and the last time experiences all for different reasons. Oh, and the 90s vibe hits warmly.
"You couldn't be anywhere near Epstein and not know." I have to say the retelling and production quality was outstanding. I had to blink twice with Rufus Sewells make-up and acting. Billie Piper, Gillian Anderson, and Keely Hawes all captivated the perfect amount of acting, "Like a walk in the park." The genius in dialogue and dramatisation, my eyes and ears were hooked. Power in the wrong hands is pure evil, If anything is to be learnt, it's to watch who we give our power to. I do wish it had gone deeper than surface level, but the inside to key events felt good enough.
Only gave this a go for Kristen Wiig, and she was the only reason I stayed for 2 episodes, which was long enough for me to realise the whole thing was boring. The humour isn't funny, and the plot wasn't interesting enough. The only interest I had was that the parts that I know for a fact will only be answered in the last episode. So I stopped before I regretted wasting my time. It feels like a fantasy with no magic. The worst part about this is the wasted potential on Kristen Wiig. Apple TV is just disappointment after disappointment. Visually pull you into rejection.
Almost good. Such a unique yet universal idea. Some scenes were played out slightly choppy, but other than that, the silliness was easy to deal with, except Marcus. The acting was believeable but not from everyone. Every time someone was tired, I reminised the feel-good you get from shutting your eyes after a long, hard day. The score/soundtrack was very much thrilling. It was well used for sure. I found the sterotypical scary things not really as scary as everything else. A few scenes really annoyed me, but what annoyed me more was the fact that they could have been fixed. Also, the director needs a new watch. The timing for things happening in this movie was awful. It took me out straight out of the experience. The cinematography, though, was cool. The camerawork really went with whatever was happening on screen.
My oh my is this boring. I watched it because of one of the directors (Daniel Kaluuya). Went in with 0 expectations, and instantly, I was amazed by the special effects. I got 48 minutes into the movie, and it had gotten nowhere, so I turned it off. It felt a little too much like Black Mirror. Only this was trying way too hard. Pretty on the outside but empty within. Huge letdown.
The potential it had with the variety of different villains. The potential it had with connecting with an audience and the potential it had with genuine horror and gore. All wasted. The villains were wasted because we barely got a glimpse of them, especially with the dim lit sets. They also lost half the audience by not including them. I ended up forgetting the start by the end, which made me question life itself. The horror started off alright but immediately stooped to below average, especially with the 15 certificate. The cast was forgettable, and the script tried too hard to be gen z.
Ridley Scott. The king of epic. A must watch for anyone who loves epic battles.
I don't know what to think of Napoleon because I haven't done my research, and this movie seems to be too nice in all parts. I learnt a lot, yet I could have learnt more. It should have included a little information on who each person was the same way little facts popped up on the screen telling us the location, year, or how many died. Heartbreaking how more than 3 million French people danced into their deaths, simply because a man had the power to. What's even more heartbreaking is times haven't really changed.
Besides the writing, the production was phenomenal. Apple TV is becoming one of my favourites. The acting was atrociously good. The score was tense, and Joaquin Phoenix was legendary as per.
I'm just confused. It all makes sense in some way, but I'm just so confused. I'm getting confused writing this. What even is this? Who? Beau? Too confusing. Oh yeah, and it was too long. Way too long.
Wow, that was weird. Looks and feels so bizarre and Nic Cage has the perfect face for the role. His acting was phenomenal too, I think one of his best performances.
One of the best Sci Fi series ever made. I'm blown away with the amount of genius involved in this. The score was beautiful, the cgi was beautiful, the story was beautiful, and the acting and dialogue was beautiful. The plot actually made sense to me even though it was complicating. The gore and horror elements spooked me enough for me to shut my eyes. It hooked me in and reeled me closer every episode, and I loved the way something big actually happened every 2 episodes. It felt fairly paced. The money from all 837 producers really shows in the quality, and so do the minds. It all depends on whether Netflix cancels this or not. Otherwise, it'll have been a big waste.
I usually never rate a show until iv completely finished it, but I watched enough and definitely won't finish it. The production is great, but the casting, story, jokes, and everything in between falls flat on its face several times. I don't hate it, but I don't like it. It feels stupid, unfortunately, because I really like Apple TV. This just feels lost, like the actors just go with whatever happens next. Not really worth a weekly release, but I'm sure this fits some peoples vibe completely.
One of the best documentaries iv seen. It captures the exact night like it was last night. I felt more involved than the singers themselves. The content of the footage is immaculate, and the past to present ratio is perfect. Even if it wasn't 'The Greatest Night in Pop', this documentary could definitely make you believe it. It was so thrilling seeing such icons packed together, being somewhat level of raw. Talking of raw, it was nice seeing the message of the song conveyed into this documentary. Also, Michael was right, "you and I" sounds so much better.
It's all about the pacing with this one. the acting is out of this world, the script is great, and the plot makes an average amount of sense. but the pace. that stupid pace.
It's cool and all but nothing new or special. I'd probably suggest watching The Equalizer instead, or John Wick. Unlike those movies, this one really annoyed me at times.
Definitely not Finchers best.
Incredible. The photography and cinematography was purely incredible. The plot was slow but extremely raw. A lot of people want more backstory, but we weren't asked to choose a side. We were asked to be witnesses, like the journalists. If you want a backstory, then switch on your tv. A million and one reasons will flood over you. The acting was atrociously good, and to pair us up with such a different cast was genius. The score and sfx was heart-beat skipping, and the vfx, locations, and editing was breathe-takingly beautiful.
I'm a big fan of TitanFall, so when I saw the trailer for this, I was intrigued. That was before I saw Jennifer. Why is this so dramatic? Every scene is blasted by her. Everything about the characters was blasted and not in a good way. It was the same cliché trope over and over again. I liked the visuals, but I would have preferred if the robots didn't have a huge glass front to show the pilot having a stroke. The vfx was Netflix average. The villains and plots were boring and traditional. Not much sense or sci-fi. I want an actual TitanFall movie now.
Absolutley, no way it ended like that. This film is a spontaneous tension/tennis court. The casting for starters was chefs kiss. All I could see was tennis players. Once you reach the credits, you realise you watched basically nothing, that felt like everything. Pure exhilaration from the score, exhaustion from the cinematography and editing, and exclamation from the writing and character arcs. The acting was phenomenal, especially with such a smart script. The best tennis movie by far. I mean, they took a 'simple' match of tennis and amplified it by a million.
I watched this for Lindsey Lohan. She does not suit these types of roles she repeatedly does. Not only was her acting unbelievable, as in un-believeable, the story was un-believeable. World peace? End world hunger? No. Marry a man who doesn't care for me. Not only did she find love within a day or two, but she single handedly made me lose hope for Netflix once again. I can imagine this story as a book, I don't know if it's a book but it needs to stay as a book because the directing, producing, writing, editing, acting, dialogue, comedy, characters, and so on was unimaginably bad. Why?Just why?
Extremely unexpected. Guy Richie is a hit or miss type of guy but, 'The Gentlemen' movie and now series are, without a doubt, his greatest achievements. Netflix is a hit or miss type of production too. I really hope they keep this up for a few seasons. The story was predictable but became really unpredictable mid scene. The characters are so saturated that I couldn't tell if I hated or loved half of them. The fact it uses so much realism but manages to be a stress free escape. The creativity, cinematography, score, camerawork, locations, script, jokes, casting, and build are just exceptional. When are we getting more?
I genuinely do not know what to think. The only talent I really saw in this was the production in some of the animations. Imagine having so much money, power, and fame that you're able to create your own movie, and this is what you make. It's a cool message, and you learn a bit about JLo, but it's unbearable. I feel like the realest thing I saw was Ben Afflecks' nose. So yeah, it's a hit if you're a JLo fan. If not, then tough. The same goes for the new music. It's a hit if you're a fan. If not, then tough.
I did not expect this to be as funny or entertaining as it was. I thought this was going to be a copy of The Spy Next Door, but it proved me wrong. It was very alike but had its own very different ideas. The cgi, stunt work, and dialogue were all decent, nothing eye rolling. The plot and characters kept me invested (just dont think too much, or you'll clock every plot hole). I would have called this a perfect family movie if it didn't have those adult scenes. Also, the actor that plays Kyle is actually called Van. I laughed so hard when the credits rolled.
This is torture on another level...I mean, for me, not bredan. As an empath, this was a difficult watch, the ending at least. I'm so happy for the whole cast. The acting was definitely oscar worthy. The soundtrack as well as the ratio and the set and dialogue and the story ugh I could go on for days.
