This movie takes us back to the 2nd century and tells the legends around the Ninth Legion and its (possible) dissappearance in Scotland.

The movie is very bloody and most of the time it feels overused. It never shocked me to see the blood because there was no clear point made as to why that is necessary. Of course there is the massacre of the Roman legion and the relentless hunting of the survivor however other movies have made a more lasting impact with way less blood.

Some things are left unclear. Some characters are turning sides and I never got to understand what made them do it. And that is also the largest weakness for me.

The movie was generally well paced but in the middle it felt a little slow and boring.

No recommendation.

The theme of the movie is "human trafficking" and it depicts this theme very well. It feels real. It made me develop strong feelings at the beginning for the victims. I like how the movie portrays it in a way that the characters at the beginning are not aware of the situation. However the situation worsens and the main character (Matues) sees a possibility to use it at his advantage and forms a close tie to the bad guy. At first he wanted to gain the trust of Mr. Luca so that he can help his fellow captives to regain their freedom, however the line gets more and more blurry and Mateus starts to execute his newly gained power over his fellow workers. In the end he has become a part of the system even though he set out to destroy that system from the inside out.

The charcters are hard to relate. We are fed some background information but these don't make me understand the character better. Starting from the point where Mateus is part of the system, I lost the understanding for his internal struggle. It wasn't depicted as strongly as it was possibly intended. So it felt like a completly new character at this time.

This movie was not a good one. It felt really strange.

First of they tried establishing a relationship you should care about in the first minutes. Which was all nice to see. It is up to everyone if they liked the sequences shot on film and the shots seemed kinda old-school.

Then the crash happens. At that point the movie lost me.

It was totally predictable what was going to happen. Nothing schocked me. He was so unrelatable. He didnt mourn and sometimes he was crying and then he was filled with anger and was trying to kill people he didnt even know.

This is definetly not worth recommending.

Great overall package. There were no clear weaknesses.

The visual effects were absolutely stunning. I could hardly imagine that all was cgi.

The movie totally drew me in. Which happens rarely. You really like part of the story. The story had everything from great action, deep moral, comedy. The only thing I would like to point out is that Harrllsons acting in the first few scenes seems kinda strange.

If you like action this is a good movie for you, but if you sre somewhat interested in an interesting story just skip this one.

So many pieces are missing. The movie just skips scenes and as a viewer you are wondering why we didn't get to see the scene.

The characters also seemed kinda random and unpredictable (but in a bad way).

The end felt like they wanted to tease something for an upcoming movie. Or they wanted to show their unpredictability again. Seemed like a totally forced end because they wanted to deliver some kind of message which they haven't figured out for themselves.

This episode felt like a season finale. Many storylines came to an apparent end and everything about else just pointed to a season finale but there is still one more episode. Thomas is a smart dude however whenever it comes to grace he just loses all his wits. Very inconsistent. What I like is this distant relationship between these two. It shows how Thomas is. He is just a very distant - some would say cold hearted - person and has problems showing affection.

I heard a lot of good things of Peaky Blinders so I decided to give it a shot.

The pilot was a good first episode as it gave us an introduction to the characters and the conflict of the story. If it would be an episode in the middle of the season then I would not rate it as high as an 8, maybe a 6.

One of the things that I found really unfitting was the Western music. It just doesnt fit at all to the genre and historical setting.

The show with its characters definetly has a lot of potential. However some aspects were foreseeable (the bartender being an undercover cop) I still think there will be a lot of chracter development. I think a conflict we will see is between Arthur and Thommy for the leadership of the Peaky Blinders.

It seems like a really high-budget production. Excited to see how they will show more of the world with its different groups (Asians, Italinas, Communists)

So this episode just didnt really knock me off.

The scenes tied to voting the king of Norway were the most exciting ones. What is King Harald planning? You could see in his eyes that he has something else in mind.

Hvitserg isnt really developing at all and is annoying to watch. He just is running away from his problems and we dont see real change with him

Ivar and young Igor helping Dir is kinda interesting. You just dont know where exactly this will land. At least i am having difficulties figuring that out.

Lagertha is cleaning up after the bandit attack and nothing really exciting happens here.

All in all the story doesnt really move on except the Björn stoyrline. Hoping the next episode will be better.

Many people complained about the historucal inaccuracy of the show. Yes that's true. However what is the aim of the show? I think the showrunners try to tell a story in a historical setting but don't quite nail the details of history. So that is definitely something I ignore for the series since a couple of seasons.

Storywise there is no new thing. It just repeats itself. There is no new dynamic. Which is quite sad. It is exciting to see new groups but these groups are not implemented in a proper way. That's what makes it so miserable

Wow, that was a very beautiful movie. I was really exicted for this movie because I recently watched Systemsprenger with the child actor as the main character. And in that movie I was really impressed by her work. And now she is acting alongside with Tom Hanks. That is definitely a step up. But now to the movie.

The movie is slow paced and has some action sequences. It never feels to slow. The pacing was very good and i never felt bored during the movie.

I really liked how they implemented the German background of the child actress. Interesting character.

The movie was quiete foreseeable but it was very heartwarming and that is why i gabe it 9 stars. Plus I liked the actors. It reminded me a little of Logan. With a similar pairing. At first I thought they would just copy the role that Helena played in Systemsprenger but they gladly didn't. In Systemsprenger she also screamed a lot and was a rebellious kid. Like in the beginning she screamed a lot and didn't really fit into the society.

Well where do we start with this one. You can look at this movie from two perspectives. So let's get started.

Perspective 1 (Standalone movie): If you ignore the previous movies, it is quite okay. Some things seem rushed. Who are the Knights of Ren?

Perspective 2 (End of the Skywalker Saga) Why did we need to bring Palpatine back? The movie tried to safe what Episode XIII ruined. However it could not completly save it. Some things like the Knights of Ren were suddenly there without any explanation. If you research what was originally planned you will see some aspects of it. Like Finn and the other deserters of the First Order. The end sets a point of exploration for future stories. However the ending did not resonate with me at all. Why do we need the romance between Kylo and Rey? Why was Palpatine there? Why did Rey need to be a Palpatine?
