This is going places just not out of the town
I got recommended this totally randomly...read a few reviews and thought it sounded interesting. Omg the first season is some of the best television I have ever watched...yes it has lost vibes but lost was great...and this has taken all the best parts to keep you guessing so many questions absolutely amazing television.
It is open to so many layers and the ending was perfect...it makes you want to watch season 2 right now...I need more and i need it now.
I can't believe this has such a low rating and there's negative reviews who are these people. O suppose you can't please everyone but definitely thd best shows of 2022 so far...
Gyeongiroun Somun (2020)
Literally perfection...one of the best shows I have seen
Sounds crazy to say have tissues on standby, when reviewing a action horror show...but this show is so much more...fully fledged alpha male who after watching a certain episode ran to my mother's to tell her how much I loved her.....I can't remember a show playing with my emotions like this one did...its not a horror or an action thriller its just complete...from friendships to relations to life to society to morals to action to violence to tragedy to fighting evil spirits this show has it all literally....and also has an uber cool look to it too...
Kate (2021)
Almost perfect...
This movie surprised me that much that I had to write a review...I think it blended culture, respect, style, modernism, morality etc etc very cleverly and with no real hollywood unrealistic scenes...
Yes the storyline has been played out before but this is what the action genre is about revenge, betrayal etc etc...
No stupid long fight scenes no slow plot...no fillers just great action and great entertainment.
I would highly recommend this...sometimes I think imbd contributers want a cinematic masterpiece every time this is just a great action flick...if it had a comedy aspect it could well have been that...but its a smashing film.
Icarus (2017)
Started off with prospect failed miserably
Anyone who sees my previous reviews know that I rarely write a bad piece.
This was too disappointing...the propaganda was thick and fast. .
Putin started the Ukrainian civil war apparently...?!
It just lost all direction and not in a good way can't believe I wasted 2 hours on this
AlphaGo (2017)
A documentary that will make you cry about a game you never knew about
I knew about Go but not the complexities of the game.
This is more about AI but what it means to be human.
The European champion won my heart
Just thrilling amazing production.
Uncut Gems (2019)
This needs to come with a warning
Without doubt the most stressful movie I have ever watched....but an absolute masterpiece...
Like marmite you will either love it or hate it...
Everything about this is annoying from the soundtrack to the constant noise but it's intensely magnetic at the same time.
Who would have thought you would end up cheering on a sports team...wow brilliant absolutely brilliant.
The Last Kingdom (2015)
What GOT could have been
I loved GOT despite it being forced upon me...however it became an almost show...the last few seasons destroyed it's brilliance and I found season 2 boring...it really could have been the greatest ever but failed.
In contrast TLK I stumbled upon out of nowhere and it blew me away.... season 1 felt rushed but from then on it got better and better...(the sign of a great show)
The character development is incredible...you do not know who to hate or love...it has everything from deaths out of nowhere to romance to swords and shields...this show has it all..
With a great script, a storyline that flows, murder, mystery, treason, conspiracy...there is to many things to list...
Even more incredibly this is done by a cast of actor's that perform at their finest...there is not a bad piece of acting throughout. It's like everyone came with their game face. Add to that the historical issues...the reality of the living conditions etc and touching on real issues...if season 5 is as great as the rest then this could be counted in the top 5 of the greatest shows of all time...and I don't say that lightly... immense pleasure from start to finish. Criminally underrated.
Game of Thrones (2011)
Not the Greatest TV show ever made but great
I wasn't into the hype around game of thrones...but decided to give it a whirl a few years back... despite everyone else's opinion I found season 2 boring...however the season prior and the four seasons after are golden. 1,3,4,5,6 amazing TV.
I found that very few characters stuck out in terms of development however, Arya stark was the shining star in that case. When the whole dispute happened it went downhill. Season 7 was badly rushed that it could no longer claim to TBE.
Season 7 was farcical tbh it started becoming bad TV even though it's fan base remained loyal and defended it.
Season 8 pulled it back in terms of realism but again it was rushed and put together sloppily.
In the end it lost its soul
Mortal Engines (2018)
Why the negative reviews
It's a thrill of an action movie with a great look at a dystopian future. Has a whole load of goodness about it.
Highly recommended for the sheer rude in itself.
Not sure why people have reviewed this so badly it over performed in terms of expectations
Where Birds Don't Fly (2017)
An individual low budget movie that has a powerful message
Take away the production isn't high expense this movie hits home and has a real strong message...it's a better movie then it's low rating and everyone I have recommended it to enjoyed it
L.A. Confidential (1997)
My first negative review
I normally write reviews for many movies... recently a lot of Korean cinema... simply because the score doesn't reflect the genius of the movie etc etc.
With this however I am disappointed...it's a solid 7 and simply has a great cast...it grew on me but I was never blown away as I thought I would be after never getting around to watching it in my youth I am going back to those classic movies...I am not sure if I was won over by this...
Maybe because I literally watched the negotiator (Samuel L Jackson) before and was disappointed with the low rating as it was a great thriller...I'm not sure but I just wasn't own away at all with this movie..
The Gentlemen (2019)
The coach steals the show
A return of guy Ritchie to produce a great movie...but somehow lacks something...it's not quite perfect but Colin Farrell was immense and a throwback to snatch.
Well worth a watch definitely a great movie...this is one of those were the sequel will undoubtedly be better and fill the holes the original left.
Busanhaeng (2016)
Arguably the greatest zombie movie about
I'm not a fan of Zombie movies and was a bit unexcited to watch this...but this is edge of the seat thriller...the south Koreans seem to get things right...
Hands down up there as the best Zombie movie about.
The Vast of Night (2019)
A little gem
This was beautifully shot and elegant...a real gem of a production. Masterfully directed with such a small budget...
The connection between the two main characters was incredible...well acted and just an Overall effective movie.
Very nostalgic and vastly superior to most movies I have seen in the past few years.
Ang-ma-reul bo-at-da (2010)
Brutal masterpiece
I don't have anything bad to say...the movie started off super quick that I thought how can it go in from here...but it did in a glorious and gory take of revenge and one-upmanship.
This was just disturbing yet thrilling...brutal yet a cinematic beauty...
Not for the faint hearted...it's simply a Korean masterpiece
Mong-ta-joo (2013)
Literally one of the greatest movies I have ever seen
Words cannot describe this movie... heart wrenching...end if your seat thriller...with twists and turns and a great storyline...
This seriously moved me and the lead actors performed magnificently...I have become a fan of Korean cinema ..and seen some really great movies...
But this is by far one if the greatest movies I have ever seen...in all forms of cinema.
Chugyeokja (2008)
Brilliant
I'm not sure who these people are that down rate this and other great movies..I am genuinely perplexed by what meets their requirements.
This is just a gripping thriller which is mesmerising just truly brilliant...one if the best Korean movies I have ever seen
Just watch it with no expectations and enjoy a great movie
Oldeuboi (2003)
A cinematic masterpiece
Not for the faint hearted this is an incredible movie...yes it's dark and disturbing...yes it's gory...but it's shot with absolute mastery. I don't even begun to understand the negative comments in here..they clearly don't understand cinema. The character development..the twisted storyline...the brutality the violence the gore the turn your head away moments are just shot perfectly...
It is a real gem
Bad Boys for Life (2020)
Ignore the low scores this is a solid action comedy.
I came to this movie with very low expectations, and I was pleasantly surprised..I enjoyed it throughout...the boys rekindled the magic...they still got it...it was hilarious at times...fast paced and still had the feel of a bad boys movie.
Overall it was better then expected an a great solid action comedy for a Sunday evening...
