I can't say anything about Game of Thrones that hasn't been said a hundred times before, so this review will essentially just be me gushing over its magnificence. But before that I'll get the ugly stuff out of the way first. The show suffers a slight dip in quality at Season 6, and then again lowers the quality slightly in Season 7 and then suffers a large drop off in Season 8. However, in my opinion, Seasons 1-7 do maintain a rather consistent level of quality and it is only at Season 8 where it gets rough. And yet, despite the changes in quality, the show as a whole achieves more than any other show before or after. Seasons 1-4 are perfect, and I mean completely and utterly perfect. Game of Thrones is fantasy incarnate and yet keeps the world grounded and tangible. Martin's phenomenal dialogue translates perfectly onto the small screen and is accompanied by brilliant sound design, cinematography, acting, and Ramin Djawadi's score. I don't have much more to say other than this is undoubtedly the greatest fantasy story ever told and despite there being notable lows, the highs are of such magnitude that they make the lesser episodes seem insignificant in the grand scheme of things. I could talk about this show for hours on end, but that would probably bore you, so i'll just summarise by saying that it is just brilliant. Seeing is believing however, and if you haven't seen it already, be prepared to set aside a couple months to completely indulge in this magnum opus of television.
Simply put, Dune: Part Two is a modern masterpiece of cinema. This is an undoubtedly phenomenal piece of art, and Villeneuve's magnum opus. This movie asserts what a big, modern Blockbuster should be; beautiful visuals and sound design, accompanied by a sound story and compelling characters. People generally talk about the impressive scale of this movie and it's clear to see why. The world building rivals LOTR and tells a story so compelling as to stand in tandem with the likes of Star Wars. Dune: Part Two is fantasy at its best, its ability to keep you hooked while throwing so much information and unfamiliar language at you is unparalleled. However, like all movies, it's not without its flaws. I wouldn't call this a perfect film and people will of course have minor gripes with aspects of the story, but that is to be expected. Regardless, I think it comes pretty damn close to being a contender for the best movie of all time.. I know this seems to be a wacky claim, and I may well be riding the high of seeing the film just recently, but I truly think the sheer scale of Dune: Part Two rivals the all time greats of cinema. Dune has a little bit for everyone, and I feel anyone can get entertainment out of watching it, which can't be said for many modern movies. It avoids the pitfall of falling into one, succinct category. It is not JUST sci-fi fantasy, but a gripping drama, an enthralling adventure and a revenge story all in one. To summarise, it's good, real good and one of those rare movies that you HAVE to see. I think it's "must see" status is only comprable to last year's Oppenheimer.
No debate, the worst movie ever made bar "The Room". This website is made for rating movies, not porn. If you are a middle aged woman who's using this to be aroused by, all the power to you. But don't rate it a 10/10 when it has the worst cast, performances, cinematography, music......
