I want expecting much when it came up as a suggestion in my prime lists.
if you're a homophob, not for you.
if you're not into girl power, strong women, not for you.
if you're racist, not going to be for you.
if you like fantasy, crossed with "crime" solving, military-ish with superwomen? you're in luck.
it's surprisingly engaging. charmed with a while lot more kick-assery going on.
This sucked. The rest of the season better be better.... I love Ncuti. And have been super excited even after the dismal Ruby Road troll thing. But this was both disgusting and too childish. Maybe Disney involvement is ruining the messaging that Whovians are accustomed to. This came off as made for children rather than the fan base. I hope it gets better.
Incredible. A current twist on Broadway and on the Founding Fathers. Even if you've never thought you would love the theater, this is the one. Putting it into a film, releasing it for the Fourth of July, Disney just did something amazing for American Art. Bravo Zulu.
Extremely "loosely" based on a real person, so pretty much made up garbage, with the typical Q conspiracy crap when there's real issues to be addressed. Nonsense movies like this take the focus from legitimate trafficking issues and turn into conspiracy theories BS so that the nut jobs can ignore fixing real problems.
And while other actors do bad movies, why is every right wing nut job actor always picking this conspiracy theory crazy shit? We can get bat shit crazy from relatives and friends that went down that absurd rabbit hole. Every right wing nut insists on playing right wing nut shit.
Imagine if Tom Cruise only did movies pushing Scientology... no one would give a shit and he would be a nobody. Welcome to this shit show movie.
0/10. Shitty, made up, preachy conspiracy theory garbage.
ARE YOU KIDDING US? Why do we spend so much time with the Disney princess rather than the Doctor. i seriously was not a big fan when they did this crap to Jodie Whitiker's Doctor but now it's getting damn annoying. We need to get to know the new DOCTOR, not the damn sidekick. The sidekick story is supposed to be the background from episode to episode, not the damn starring role.
Less than 60 secons of the Doctor the entire episode. This is utter shit. Katr Lethbridge Stewart shows up magically with zero explanation how Ruby even knew to get ahold of a secret agency she wouldn't know anything about yet. Just stupid as hell. and as if it couldn't get dumber? Kate and UNIT get brainwashed also even without direct contact. We never find out where the help the Doctor went to.
AND somehow when the Doctor reappears he magically knew something he didn't know from the beginning? Hokey as hell. No matter how much Disney has their own people commenting that was a good Doctor Who episode.
The episode is interesting but again NOT DOCTOR WHO. Just Disney princess takeover.
3 only because the story, in spite of the flaws was okay. Disney Goosebumps episode 17th the Tardis in frame a couple times.
0 for real Doctor Who fans.
Ingrid Bergman was absolutely one of the best actresses ever and this movie was one of her best. Charles Boyer was a romantic good guy in most movies so this was his chance to break his normal roles.
The sad part is that this movie plot takes place everyday in someone's home even now more than 70 years later. It may cut close to home for some, but the most pivotal take away is that Bergman was chosen for the role and won an Oscar for it because it showed how a strong woman could easily be fooled if she has no lifeline to people outside the abusive home.
It felt like it was going back to the Doctor Who adult fan version.... until the very end. The Last twist at the end was unnecessary and annoying. The time could've been better spent developing the Maestro. Until that absurd end, it was on track to be a 9. but that ending sunk it to a 6.
BBC might have better partnered with Paramount Plus or Max to make it easier for Americans to watch it. It just feels like this musical nightmare is a sorry attempt to turn Doctor Who is into a Disney princess movie. Don't get me wrong. I love Disney princess movies, just not in my Doctor Who.
I gave it a 9. The satire was spot on and pulling together current issues to the early 1930's is just fantastically done. I believe this movie is going to be one of those cult classics, underrated at first but recognized as a classic work eventually.
The low ratings seem to come from people that don't understand satire and the movie would fly over their heads. The script is laced with references to the early 1930's fascist movement in the USA, and they are just dropped into the story so nonchalantly unless you know US history between WWI and WWII, particularly the efforts by the American Bund (US Nazis), most of the references would be missed. For example, the giant George Washington portrait is a direct snub to the American Bund. There were 32 Americans arrested for espionage, largest in American history, for trying to establish a dictatorship. There were rumors that they approached at least two generals. One semi portrayed here fantastically by DeNiro. The attempt to appeal to veterans, hoping they would turn on their Oath to the Constitution, happened also. Honestly, just writing this I want to watch again to be able to point out so many of the references that were placed into the story. Just a fantastic script.
The low ratings are most likely because it is satire. Satire usually flies over the heads of dumber people and we seem to be at a juncture where idiots reign supreme. But it's extremely well acted and directed. I felt they did a wonderful job of capturing the 1930's feel in the way it was written, acted and directed. I thought the camera positioning could've been a bit more Orsen Welles style in a few scenes. But just fantastic overall.
There's just so much abuse out there and people who haven't experienced it firsthand often have a hard time recognizing it until it's too late. It was only in the last 25 years we recognized battered spouse syndrome and that can happen to anyone, even those who had normal childhoods. So it was a struggle to watch the first couple episodes as they saw a 17 who had been abducted 12 years earlier, psuedo-legally, and then placed into this kind of abuse during the years many of us learn to cope with society as a whole. His whole life isolated, no friends, no family and his step brother and step mother being his only glimpse into this was not how it was supposed to be when they left.
By the end you will be rooting for him, and it just broke my heart beginning to end. For the final clips where you see how the first real chance to heal has finally begun, it's both gut wrenching and full of hope. An excellent telling of his story by the camera crew/director.
As for Anthony, he's survived an ordeal and I hope that he lives a good life.
So many negative comments without the reviewer's ratings.....
If you're expecting some sci fi masterpiece, not it.
If you're expecting a time travel movie with no cliches, it's science folks, so in true science fashion, it's going to be cliche as far as the science we know to date.
If you are looking for good fun, light hearted, where the bad guy gets what they deserve ruled into a somewhat sci-fi movie? This is it. In that case, it's a 10, maybe a 9 if you aren't really a sci-fi person at all. I can see 7-8 for you die hard sci-fi folks who just can't stand finding out it's more comedy than sci-fi.
This documentary covers so many things people faced and still face today. Family that hates you the way you are. The pressure to conform to norms. It's surprisingly sweet of a story of true love surviving in spite of all odds.
South Park wants to make fun of Disney and morons running around screaming woke. Fails miserably at both. Just comes off as anti female and anti Disney. Instead it reeks of white male dumbasses not understanding their own culpability while shitting on women and white trash.... pretty much the same shit as every day in the USA with no solution or true satire.
super disappointed in this movie. Michelle Yeoh is one of my favorite actresses and the main cast is great in anything and everything else they could possibly be in. this however is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I had to stop watching halfway through because it sucked that much but then decided to be fair on my review needed to finish it. the only parts worth watching are the rock scenes and the almost last scene of mother and daughter in the parking lot. the rest of it is garbage.
generally I love a combination of sci fi, moral to the story and weird twists but this goes too far for too long into the absurd and is so difficult to follow. it becomes tedious and remains tedious. the script sucks. the kung fu sucks. the storyline had potential, but they managed to make it suck. the cinematography lacked for what you would expect at this level of hype.
don't bother unless you need to fall asleep and want to have weird dreams. that's about all this garbage is good for.
giving it a 2, only because of Michelle Yeoh. otherwise it's an epic zero. just sucked,. over two hours of your life sucked into the abyss you're never getting back.
If you need a wake up call why the two parties are often at odds. It's not necessarily the parties themselves than the psychos that weasel their way into organizations like the FBI, CIA (in this case), and other places where people can abuse power.
This is the worst scenery in a Doctor Who episode in years. And, I'm getting sick of Ncuti's Doctor not really doing anything like the other Doctors. Plus I'm hating Ruby at this point. This reminds me how they tried to sideline the last Doctor with a male sidekick.
This episode could've been so much better if they had interacted with the base, but no. Let's spend the whole thing in a hole. PLUS, yeah let's have some stupid thing around some little girl, and Ruby and some side charger that doesn't even exist anymore.
I'm ready for Ruby to move on, new sidekick, and new season. This one sucks.
I wasn't expecting much. I really like Tommy Lee Jones and Jamie Foxx, but I hadn't heard of the movie until it flashed on my Amazon suggestions. Based on a true story is also one of my favorites when looking for a feel good film.
This knocks it out it the park. Jones and Foxx have a special chemistry, hopefully reflective of the two men they portrayed. it calls out corporate racism in a unique way that is often overlooked, while also calling out the will known abuses of the small businesses they compete with.
I highly recommend. 10/10.
Honestly, I was afraid this was going to be some reboot of Hanks worst work "Castaway". I watched the trailer and thought, eh. If it sucks, at least I can play on my phone (streaming at home).
This is such a heart warming movie. The cast is phenomenal. The directing is spot on. It even manages to work in the good works that some internet media does, which in a day and age when we've all gotten quite exhausted and sick of internet media being misused to cause strife was a nice nod to remind us it's not all bad.
A fantastic script that gives Otto's story both past and present in a timely fashion unlike a lot of films that always seem to flounder with flashbacks. This film hits the timing marks flawlessly.
To my surprise, I've got to recommend this as a must see. 10/10.
Absolutely LOVE Tatiana Masley. She was amazing in Orphan Black and I just didn't know if the comic book role would be a good fit, kinda saw her as a Jamie (James) Bond after that role. But honestly, this has got to be one of the best TV shoot offs from the Marvel movies yet.
It's funny. It's honest in how it deals with a lot of issues almost all women feel daily and it starts with the very first episode when she's telling Bruce she's got to contain her anger daily because a man cat calls her or is mansplaining what she knows more about than he does. There's not a woman on this planet that hasn't had a man touch her to move her out of his way, even in seemingly innocuous circumstances, like we don't have the Right to our own space, let alone our own bodies.
And of course, comic books have always been geared to the outcast kids from the jump. Girls are outcasts just by being born female. Dress this way, don't be too smart, be accommodating, be quiet, let the men speak. Disney and Marvel knock this out of the park for every little girl to 90 year old woman. AND I love they got Meghan Thee Stallion to be a part of this, because women need to come together, regardless of race because we all no matter what race deal with the same denigrating behaviors from men.
BRAVO ZULU.
It was okay, but it was all over thy place the first hour. Way way too much time spent on thy back story and not enough time on the infractions. Maybe the next one will be better, but for a marvel film this really wasn't that great.
Unreal. Let's brag how con artists can own the world by stealing from innocent elderly people. All I wanted was her dead within the first 30 minutes. No way a Russian mobster would have let her live. He might have scammed her to get free then made sure she was dead later The mobster and his mom were the best part of the whole thing. Pretty bad when you like a criminal over the main character. Left me feeling disgusted and like humanity is dead.
Not really sure why the 7 overall. It's very well written and acted. The plot twist is very Orsen Wells Rosebud-esque. Thought provoking and unexpected. Guessing most people that rated it low didn't want a thinker movie that leaves you to decide how you feel about it. Intellectually more than what they wanted? Far better than I expected.
Chadwick Boseman delivers a stellar performance as does the whole cast. Some of these comments from people thinking they are woke from their own racism ignore it's adapted from a play. Real acting required. It wasn't about the music. It wasn't about the special camera effects. It was about making you think outside of your bubble. Some of you failed miserably even though you were trying.
Wow. You watch this movie and you will never want any chemicals from DuPont again. Worse if it hits you that every single other chemical company on the planet from 3M to Dow all knew there was an issue and no way they thought DuPont had figured a way to make Teflon safe. They poisoned all of us for $1B a year in pure profit (aka. after all costs).
Self regulation by major corporations is a joke and this movie exposes it in all its nauseatingly, self serving glory.
The acting was phenomenal. The cinematography was phenomenal, very reminiscent of Orsen Welles. But the storyline sucked. I tried to find something useful in the tale, but it was simply the worst story, no real point. As another commenter said, watching paint dry would have been better use of my time.
wow. just wow. if you want to understand the world, you have to see this movie. there's just a side of the world that's not seen by the majority. that failure is what this movie is about, but it's also about making the decision to walk away from the right and wrong things in your life. seriously one of the best movies of 2018.
Okay.... the Ruby Road Xmas episode was already too directed at kids, maybe because of Disney's involvement... although that makes no sense since Disney makes plenty of adult stuff.
But after watching the 2nd episode? Enough is enough. if it keeps like this the whole season, they screwed up Doctor Who. going to keep an open mind, but really disappointed after episode 2.
If you stay to the end, you'll understand this comment. It needed to start with the way it finished, and it would've been a 10. I'm saying 9.5 but can only give it a 9.
The main issue is unless something is wrong with you, like you're a total racist sh1tbag, you're going to walk away from the movie feeling disgusted on so many levels. I felt like we, as in Americans, have so much to atone for, and even more disgusted by half of a "white America" that all thinks sweeping this kind of garbage under the rug is the way to handle it. This garbage happened because "white America" never wants to take responsibility for the hate we have allowed.
The film is spectacular in the settings chosen, but also loved how Scorsese invoked that Orson Wells camera views to illustrate some of the later scenes better. Very Citizen Kane-esque. Just fantastic cast, acting, directing, costumes.
But WARNING. you will have a feeling of filth of what these men did. The raping of these people's wealth is just one of many disgusting parts of American history that we can only atone for by acknowledging it happened and never allowing it to happen again.
This is an unexpected delight. It's got to be the most wonderful human movie of the year. It's about acceptance and forgiveness, but it also presents one of the most complicated issues of how we treat people with mental difficulties either from disease, birth defect, accidents, etc. It does it in such a way as not to be preachy or judgemental, but in a humorous and touching way.
It's thought provoking for those that are open to that message.
One of Harrelson's best, proving his range as an actor.
I gave it a 10, because I thought it was a 9.5 as I wasn't thrilled with the way it started. However, that's so miniscule to the rest of the movie, I rounded up. Great for an evening in where you want to laugh, cry and feel good about humanity.
I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it is. It covers the heart of those that serve, including the dogs. I think this movie does a good job trying to reach veterans that need help, having been one myself that like Tatum's character kept telling myself I didn't for years. The poetic factor that he saves the dog as she saves him, really a well written script. Tatum does an excellent job, especially in the scene towards the end in the bathroom.
It's not a warm fuzzy dog movie. It's a referendum on healing from the scenes with the hippie to where the doctor says he's not going to press charges to the brother sister reunion to the funeral. There's a lot of things that our country needs to learn to heal and this movie pulls them all in for two warriors, a guy and a dog.
First time I saw this was when VHS tapes first came out in the 80s. I remember thinking then it was a good movie. Watching it again, I was reminded why this is a classic. Back when effects were minimal, touching up, splicing, etc., a good script dependant on the actors and the director wasn't just a nice to have but a requirement. But the best part is the goal of this script is not just the sting in the plot but the sting of the audience. I had forgotten that and it made it that much more enjoyable.
