I don't know how to feel about this movie. On one hand I think it's directed, acted, and written really well. I also think its really brave and very unbiased in how it portrays the characters. The fantasy is having the heroes always be victims and have the villains be the ones who commit the crimes. This films showcases all the characters on an equal level. You don't agree with a lot of what they do but you understand them. This is what Karan is so fantastic at. He's so excellent at writing characters. I just find it an extremely difficult watch. I don't really know what the film could've done to fix it though. Make Pretty and Abhishek more villainous? Give them a happier ending? Although that would make it an easier and more enjoyable film with easier to root for leads, the way this film is, is realistic and it's why it's so strong. So I can't ask it to do that. I appreciate this film a lot and I respect it, I just think it's not nice to watch. I give it a 7/10

Don't go in expecting a charming, fun, comforting rom com. This is more of a hard hitting drama sprinkled with a lot of wit and comedy.

Maybe the first few episodes of this season aren't the strongest. They're a little goofy and silly, but I still enjoyed them because I think they kept things fun and exciting and did a good job at introducing us to the characters and all the various mysteries. Then we get a run of genuinely great episodes with Boom, 73 Yards, and Dot and Bubble. Which in my opinion are among some of best episodes of the show. Maybe each of them in the top 40 or something (73 Yards in my top 10). We then get into the finale which has an absolutely incredible part 1 with one of the best cliffhangers the shows ever had, and sets the stage for the finale really well. It all starts ramping up in quality and hype and looks like it's gonna end really well too! But...

Then we get the finale and it all goes downhill. This season hypes up and builds up many different mysteries and at the end not only are many of them left unanswered, the answers we do get are completely nonsensical and very unsatisfying. A reveal doesn't have to be predictable but it needs to fall in line with all the hints and set ups that are laid beforehand. The biggest reveal at the end of this season, however, comes out of nowhere. It goes for emotional effect but when it makes this little sense and is this anticlimactic it doesn't work at all. I'll also say many many other things about the finale are massively disappointing but won't get into spoilers. It's probably the most disappointing finale the shows ever had.

If this season had nailed the finale, or even done a decent job of it id probably give this season a 9/10. As of now. It's a 5/10.

You have the fun! You have the scares! You have the heart! Wow just wow! What an episode! The pacing was absolutely perfect this episode! The plot unravelled in such a compelling way! The performances were all great! The effects were all fantastic! The music was thrilling and intense! This is probably the best part 1 to a finale the shows ever had!

This is what Doctor Who is all about! I sat watching the episode literally laughing because of how great it was and how much fun I was having watching it! This truly felt like RTDs first era more than any episode he's made since he's been back! It felt like the classic finale's he used to make! There's still part 2 to come and I'm so glad now I bought my ticket to see this in the cinema! This... This was made for the fans and it delivered tenfold! This is what Doctor Who is to me! I absolutely loved it!

A mess of a movie. It has some good ideas but the screenplay seems to be like a first draft with Snyder just jotting down random ideas but never fleshing them out with rewrites or editing, so nothing connects emotionally. Visually it looks ugly. It's dark and dingy... Some designs are cool but it just looks like brown sludge most of the time. The acting is all pretty wooden. The dialogue is cringey. The slow motion in the action is also corny... The slow motion doesn't happen in exciting moments to amplify their effect, it happens at the most random and anti climactic moments and it just looks stupid. This is not a good movie and an R rated version won't save most of the problems mentioned here.

I really enjoyed Wandavision of course and this is completely different but in terms of character development which is what these shows will have as their biggest strength, this episode has as much, or more, character development for these two characters as the whole of Wandavision did for Wanda.

Loved the 90s theme throughout. The Halloween vibes. I liked every part of this episode but it ended where I really wanted more. Last week's episode was longer and had more meat to it. The fact this weeks got shorter again kinda feels like I ain't got enough to last me till next week lol. But the ending tho. Still loved it and I doubt these complaints will mean anything when the whole shows out and I binge it through all the time.

I enjoyed the first WW quite a bit. It was dark, inspiring and action packed. So naturally I was excited for this movie and had been waiting a really long time for it. The promotional material looked very different to the first movie but I still expected what I enjoyed in the first movie. Then I saw the reviews. 5.5/10 definitely lowered my expectation but I still wanted to see it because I'd been waiting a long time and I'm at a time in my life where escape may be necessary. Watching this movie I found it had nothing that was great about the first movie. It's tone was light hearted and comical, it had barely any action, and the moments of inspiration fell short. However, I still enjoyed the hell out of this movie.

While watchung this movie I was reminded more of Jingle All The Way than of Wonder Woman haha. Thats the tone the movie goes for. It feels like a family movie from the 90s. However, the tone is something I actually enjoyed. It knows how cheesy it is and it just goes with it. It's absolutely ridiculous but it's also earnest which makes it endearing. The characters are all well acted and are all pretty likeable. The plot is kind of nonsensical and the writing is definitely a huge problem but it didn't stop me from enjoying this movie and that's mainly because it was still directed well. The shots, the acting, the sets, the editing, the pacing, the tone, the overall direction. It all works. All of it but the writing. Oh and I should mention the score by Hans Zimmer is a marvel. Elevated so much of this movie.

Now the problems. This movie is very ambitious because it tries to tackle so many characters and it almost works but other than wonder woman it has one thread too many. You have Maxwell Lord, Steve Trevor, and Barbara Minerva. The movie would've worked better if any one of these were cut. And that's where my biggest problem lies. It had the potential to be so much better if it had more focus and didn't try so hard but unfortunately it's kind of mess in its structure. Motivations become murky, you spend so long with one character you forget the others even part of the movie let alone the same storyline. It is a complete mess.... But yeah. I still enjoyed it.

It was nice to see the parks gang back together again. Some nice call backs to the show. Not something I'd rewatch everytime I rewatch the show but it was nice.

This film shows humanity in all its glory. We can try to claim the rich are evil and the poor deserve better but these are delusions we create to make us feel better. People are terrible. They are selfish. They are greedy. They are unkind. It's part of human nature. No matter how much you have, or how little, humanity still exists, and humanity is the problem.

All the problems in the world that make us suffer day to day are caused in the end because we are human. Nothing we can do about it.

The movie was good. Lol.

The show goes through its plot and character work at such a quick speed that the weight of a lot of moments don't feel as heavy as they should or could. It's also structured very strangely for seemingly no reason and the strange editing choices don't help in any way. Although I will say it's still worth a watch for the fantastic fantasy elements on display. From the monsters to the magic and the epic battles. It delivers. Does it come close to game of thrones? In terms of fantasy entertainment? I can't say. They're both extremely different. In terms of effects and action scenes. It definitely comes close. In terms of characters, emotions, and intrigue. Nowhere near.

The show was going well but everything fell apart in this episode. Everything was a failure. The dialogue, the acting, the direction, the editing. It was so over the top it was laughable. It's like a child made this epsiode. Totally ruined it for me. No subtlety at all. The slow build up and intrigue and moral complexity from the last few episodes blew up here in the worst way possible.

Frozen 2 is so much better than the first in a lot of ways but one thing it kept feels like more of a detriment to this movie than the first. The pacing. Both films have such a break neck pace and in the first film I felt it left me kind of cold on the characters, but with such a simple plot it still worked.

This movie has the same pacing but with added songs, character's, and amazing set pieces to take up the run time. This really leaves a similar impression as the first movie. What happens in the movie is satisfying and my god does it look (and sound) magnificent, but it dissapoints me a lot because I think an extra half an hour building the characters and world would make it feel so much more satisfying.

I still think it's a nice movie. Id give it a 6.5/10 whereas I'd give the first a 6.

A very self-righteous film with a tonne of messages. Some of the messages land, some don't. This movie doesn't know what it wants to be. It seems to wanna be satire but it's afraid to go full on. It's hard to even review. It was shot well. Some of the acting was good, some was bad. Narration was corny as hell. Plot was meandering. Unrealistic characters. The tension was well done in the action/horror scenes. It's meh. You can skip it.

I wasn't having a very good day (life) but this film supported a feeling I've had for a while. There are so many kids in the world without families and it's important for more parents to be interested in making the world a better place for them. I hope this film will give others the feeling it gave me. You can't give up because it's seflish. Struggle for the greater good.

This film should and could have been a lot better with some more rewrites but a lot of the film works. The dialogue is extremely over the top to the point where every sentence uttered by a character is a metaphor at times. Although I feel some lines do come together at the end successfuly. The songs are fantastic. It looks and sounds brilliant. 10/10 in that regard. It's just the story doesn't really hook you until near the end. I feel the acting was quite good overall but the standouts were definitely Varun Dhawan and Madhuri. It ends on a good note which makes the whole experience worth it for me. I wish more effort was put into the story though.
