I will agree with some other reviewers that Longlegs was a little overhype, but then it depends on what else you've seen before.

To me, not much was extremely original in here, however at this point it who does something that doesn't look like something else.

The cast is a good mix and the acting as well I would say the cinematography and score is great.

The pacing of the plot I thoughtwas rushed towards the end - felt like too much was dumped at once - however I feel this was more tailored to the short attention span of today's tik-tokers.

One can see a lot of Sinister and Black Phone influences in the movie with some of the plot and seventies visuals. Some elements were also reminiscent of Conjuring franchise.

All in all, a well made, good looking picture. A 90 min greatest hits mashup of major horror blockbusters made in the past 25 years or so. NOT AT ALL Silence of the Lambs - I thinks those comparisons are absolutely far-fetched.

Aren't you happy that we live in an age where you have so much variety to choose from?

At this point countless movies and series of different calibers and subjects that it's a daunting task to come up with a completely new idea and well executed.

And then we have Netflix which doesn't exactly scream cinema, and JLo who doesn't imediately make you think of "great actress".

I had low expectations for Atlas, and I was prepared to watch 10 minutes at the beginning, then skip to the middle, then end and "watch" it all in 15 minutes. Except I watched it in its entirety.

Good cinematography, great CGI, good score, decent acting. I felt a bit of a throwback to Timecop and Demolition Man and a Robocop vibe.

Thank god it didn't rely more than it did on "face acting" given that JLo-Atlas is stuck in a Mech- robot for 90% of the movie.

Overall, it's decent and I would say it's on par with I Robot almost, maybe in certain regards slighly better.

Expect a Transformers meets I Robot meets Lost In Space.

Before there was The wire, Southland, The Closer, The Rookie, and other cop procedurals there was 3rd Watch. It's amazing to discover and watch this in 2023. The show is a snapshot of turn of the century New York, with a stellar soundtrack consisting of hits of the respective time and a stellar cast to boot. It's a good mix of NY police, fire department and Paramedics drama. Great production value, great chemistry of characters, good dialogue and action-filled overall. It's not without its slights quirks though. For whatever reason most if not all main characters go completely off the rails in a quite unrealistic manner - perhaps in an attempt to fill 22 episode seasons with drama without filler episodes. Still, given the fact that it started in 1999, it's an absolute gem and stands the test of time as one of the greats for me. The 3rd Watch walked so that the other series of the genre that followed could run. And of course, Bosco!
