Please just put Naomi in a closet and forget about her for the rest of the show.
MODERATION EDIT: Don't use those words here.
After a half decent start the woke bullshit crept in. Another good idea ruined by Netflix's woke mob.
With this episode they went full on with the woke trash. In addition it was excruciatingly boring. The only skill the Hollywood hacks has nowadays is to take a show with potential and totally ruin it... every f... time.
Seriously? That was it? Apart from that terrorist scum Marco finally being done for that was rather mediocre.
Unbelievable, just when thing were looking good Holden fucks up big time just to spare that bitch some pain, pain she so richly deserved. Totally ruined the episode.
What juvenile, low IQ hack is writing this crud. It's not funny, the story sucks. The only reason I watch this is for the FX and even that is mediocre at best.
Was great but then it turned into a mess of woke, SJW and left wing rubbish.
I was actually looking forward to watch this movie. Unfortunately I have to say I was rather disappointed when the movie came to an end.
One of the most impressive projects ever undertaken filled with scientifical challenges and performed under immense pressure.
That is what the movie should have been all about. Unfortunately it is not. Instead all the science, challenges and achievements are just glossed over and we are feed three long, boring, hours about political machinations and his sex life.
That is not what I was expecting and it is definitely not what I wanted to watch.
Trust Hollywood to turn science into a bloody soap-like drama.
Christopher Nolan is definitely not a person that should be tasked with making a science or history movie. His Dunkirk was underwhelming to say the least and Interstellar was both a poor movie and a joke when it came to science.
I guess I should have lowered my expectations when I saw they gave the movie to him.
This show is certainly notvwritten by the sharpest knifes in the Hollywood drawer and that says a lot.
If this season doesn't end with that psychopath Marcos and his band of terrorist scum getting painfully killed then this has been the worst season ever of any show. And yes Naomi has turned into a f... bitch in this space opera turned soap opera.
From a promising start to this utter crap. Very disappointing.
I'm with Mark. This hiding that she's HIV positive and most people agree with it is bullshit. A nurse hiding a infectious, life threatening, and essentially incurable decease should be fired.
Blake is a poor, un-charismatic replacement. Really crappy choice.
Seriously? The communications officer is put to fire phasers in a live situation? I know Hollywood writers are generally mentally challenged but still...
Anyway that was still a decent episode. So far this show is soooo much better than Discovery not to mention that abomination Picard.
This crap episode had no other purpose than to allow some Hollywood hack to push their woke agenda. Total rubbish.
To be honest, this is a really good movie. Hang on? So why did I only give it 2 out of 5 stars? Well, this is really personal but, to me, it is not a good Batman movie. I really had problems writing this review because it is a very good movie. I just did not like it as a Batman movie.
The movie is really dark, gritty and noir. Not really a problem. It works for some movies. But it is also quite slow at the beginning and the first quarter of the movie was actually boring. Remember, this is a three hour movie so a quarter is more than half an hour of “boringness”.
The “boringess” was broken up by a pretty cool car chase. Some people seem to not really like the batmobile and I have to say that it was not very inspired but it was not all bad either. Unfortunately the movie turned rather boring for a while again after that.
The movie tries to bring out more of the detective part of Batman than the previous movies, which is fine, but there is just too much moping around with Batman / Bruce Wayne walking around oozing sadness all around him.
Actually, this brings us to my main gripe with this movie. The choice of actor for the Batman is just wrong for me. He is more like a sad puppy than the Batman. The script that makes him mope around, have emotional outbreaks and, occasionally, being downright stupid like just staring dumbfounded when explosives go off in his face does not really help of course.
To me the Selina Kyle character had more charisma than the Batman, especially when the Batman was in his Bruce Wayne alter ego.
And I really, really dislike that twist about Bruce’s parents. That was such a lazy Hollywood writer hack thing to do just to create (unwanted) drama.
Then we have the Riddler. Compared to the charismatic villains that we have come to expect he is just a sad little psychopath with a bunch of equally sad fanatical internet followers.
Now, all of this would have worked great if it had been a movie about some, unspecified, vigilante. The movie is really well done. The detective story, the action (especially towards the end) and the noir setting would have worked great. Even at its three hour bloated length it would have been great although cut down to two hours or a bit more would have been even better. If it had not been a Batman movie!
What an utter load if bullcrap written by some writer hack that's probably high on something. It's boring, Illogical and incoherent dragged out crap. Someone asked, can it get any worse? Well this is Hollywood so, yes probably.
And Picard dropping the communicator... what the f...? Whoever writes the episodes are not only a useless hack but lazy as well.
Why do the lazy ass Star Trek writers always go for time travel? Also going back to 2024 is boring and the woke shit annoying.
Best part of this episode was watching Weaver have to suck it up. And Weaver, you spineless, lying bitch, you have as much blood on your hands as Chen. Probably more you arrogant dumb shit.
That she is a selfish bitch she proved again in this episode of course.
Bunch of totally uninteresting woke crap to satisfy some Hollywood hack's desire to foster his agenda instead of producing entertainment for the viewer majority.
I was really eager to watch this movie and at the same time a wee bit concerned because I knew that I would be hugely disappointed if it turned out to be another movie massacring a classic source material.
I have to admit that it was a very long time since I read the Dune books but I have to say that the movie was mostly true to the books, as I remember them, and also reasonably free of agenda driven rubbish apart from the odd replacement of some characters with “gender correct” ones for no real good reason.
There is really not much point in me saying much about the story. It should be well known for any science fiction fan and it is a great story and really good material for a big screen movie despite some “critics” at Rotten Tomatoes moaning about it and calling it unwieldly etc. Probably too big a book with too many words for the small, agenda driven, brains of Rotten Tomatoes “critics”. No surprise there.
The movie as a whole is wonderful to watch, the scenery is oftentimes very beautiful and the décor, the buildings, the machinery is very well done. I was surprised that the world of Caladan was portrayed as a rather austere Scottish looking landscape but after getting over the initial surprise it worked very well actually.
I also like that the Harkonnen, especially the Baron, are not turned into some exaggerated comical figures but, although disgusting and despicable, they are actual humans.
Overall the casting was quite good and everyone played their roles well. At the beginning I felt that Paul was a bit too wimpy, from what I remember of the book he was quite well trained and skilled already from the start, but he picked up as the movie went along.
It is a science fiction, borderline fantasy, movie so there should be some special effects, right? This is a difficult movie to make special effects for since this universe is a weird mix between futuristic science fiction, fantasy elements and old-fashioned traditions.
I have to say that they succeeded quite well though. The atmosphere felt just right, ships, spice harvesters, buildings looked cool and fitting the story. The way they implemented the personal shields was very nice. They didn’t go overboard on special effects and weird designs. The ornithopter was of course totally ridiculous from a scientific point of view but at least it looked pretty cool.
If I should complain about something, although that is not the fault of the movie but of the source material, I have never understood how, in a universe which is obviously driven by hidden agendas, machinations and assassinations, the Atreides could just pick up everything, leave their home and put all their important eggs in one basket at Arrakis.
One more small thing that I could complain about would of course be that we now have to wait two years, from what I have read, until we get to watch the next movie to get to the part were the really cool stuff happens.
Bottom line, this was movie is definitely in there vying for the title “best movie that I have watched this year”.
As usual Benton is a selfish asshole. Boring and annoying.
I have to say that this was a surprisingly good movie. I say surprisingly because Marvel (or DC for that matter) have not exactly excelled in making even decent movies for quite some time. That the woke “critics” on Rotten Tomatoes gave it high ratings was a bit of a red flag as well but not only was the movie rather free from woke ramblings and preaching but it was a very fun and entertaining movie to watch.
The movie starts off in a somewhat bizarre way with Shang-Chi and his girlfriend swiping a car from a valet parking and going for a joy ride. It turns out that they are telling their story to a couple of friends and that is pretty much how this movie is told.
It begins more or less right away with some nice action and it continues that away with plenty of action sequences intermixed with story telling. The action and martial arts is really good in my opinion. They are in stark contrast to the mediocre rubbish we were treated to in Snake Eyes. The latter which was quite a disappointment.
This movie relies heavily on fantasy elements with tie ins to Doctor Strange, especially towards the end. Another movie that I liked a lot by the way. Thus there are of course plenty of special effects and CGI. Most of them good or very good. I really liked the beautiful world of Ta Lo. The combat scenes, especially when the rings are in action are both cool and beautiful.
There are quite a lot of comical relief in the movie as well and, for once, it is not to silly, outrageous or plain stupid. It contributes well to the enjoyment factor of the movie. The washed out actor is a bit on the limit but otherwise it works well with the rest of the movie. That guy on the bus starting to film and make commentaries was quite hilarious for instance.
The story? Well it is a Marvel special effects movie so one should not expect too much but the story is not bad. It mostly holds together and works well enough to tie all the action together. The acting is pretty much the same thing. One should not expect too much but it is good enough. It was nice to see Michelle Yeoh as Ying Nan though. She was one of the few cool characters in Discovery and she does know how to act.
Overall I very much enjoyed this movie. It is a simple super hero and fantasy adventure story with lots of action and special effects and with the single purpose of entertaining the audience that doesn’t fall in the trap of trying to “educate” said audience.
That asshole Benton resident of the year? What pathetic bullshit.
I have to confess that I like you-f…-with-the-wrong-guy type of revenge movies so I guess it is not very surprising that I liked this movie.
People have compared it to John Wick but I do disagree with that. Sure the basic premise of the story is quite similar but that’s it. To me these are quite different movies albeit in the same genre or even sub-genre.
John Wick is much more classy both in John Wick’s style and the entire setting of the movie with it’s entire secret society. John Wick is also much more over the top in the action parts. Nobody is more gritty and he is slightly closer to a normal person than John Wick.
The movie starts of a bit slow actually. Well, at least in my opinion. Nobody is mostly walking around moping and looking sad. He also more or less gets beaten up right away which made me get a bit concerned as to whether this was going to be a movie I liked or not. I got really concerned when he managed to get himself tasered of all things. What the f…?
Luckily he picks up on the bad-assery and it gets better as the movie progresses. Towards the end it gets really good actually, first when he frees the bad guy from the burden of all that ill gotten cash and then the showdown at the little work shop where Nobody barricaded himself together with… nah, that would be a spoiler, you have to watch the movie.
The bad guy is actually quite a good bad guy. Hollywood has been really lousy at creating good bad guys lately but this one, a real far out psychopath as well as a Russian mobster, fits the role perfectly.
Just to be a bit picky, a 4.9 litre 72 Challenger? Now I may of course be wrong but to my knowledge there is no such thing as a 72 Challenger with a 4.9 litre engine (also a 4.9 litre engine is really not very impressive). Did some lazy writer just pick a number?
Anyway, this was definitely a good movie. Quite enjoyable.
Benton is a first class arrogant asshole!
Unbelievable! What utter crap. Boring, boring, boring and finally a crappy ending. Talk about taking a interesting character and totally ruin it. Hollywood, please get rid of the useless woke and clueless writers!
Apart from a few funny sequences this episode was rather boring.
For fuck sake, that bitch Gates is really ruining the show!
For Christ sake. This is not enjoyable at all. Shan is just a total asshole. Any person, autistic or not, that would behave like him would be fired right away, and rightly so. I am seriously considering dropping this show after this season unless there is some drastic improvement in the last couple of episodes.
