This is just one more supernatural nonsense films/series that the world has already seen too much of.

Ridiculous dialog, poor acting, and a complete lack of believable emotions contribute to a drama for children and the weak of mind.

It's a sorry mix of The Golden Compass, Harry Potter and Game of Thrones but with far more stupid outbursts of deep and distorted "voices".

Banalities queue up one after the other and the number of times words such as "life", "death", "strong", "demon" are repeated is mind boggling.

Unfortunately I have had to endure this crap for several Sundays on end. I would never recommend others to go through the same.

An emblematic example of the lack of quality of this film is when the main character, Theo, looks at a Danish newspaper clipping his father had saved showing how proud he was of his son getting two Michelin stars for his restaurant in Denmark. The headline spells "stars" incorrectly; it says "sjerner" instead of "stjerner".

This film is no comedy. It's a depressingly accurate description both of large parts of humanity kept numb and dumb by TV and celebrity news, of political denial of facts and a depressing reminder of the Trump White House in its realistic depiction of the social media president & family. You sit for a good two hours waiting for the inevitable end and finding pleasure only when it finally arrives.

Mary Anning was not a lesbian, so why make her one? If you want to make a historic film about a remarkable woman but ignore the facts of her life; that she grew up poor, and that she taught herself to read and went on to become a female pioneer in paleontology I am all with you. But would you accept a lie of this kind today, if it had been the other way around? I will not accept this type of deliberate falsification of history with the excuse that in today's environment of identity politics anything goes.

I was looking forward to this movie, just to be disappointed by a slow moving film that kept going in circles with a main character who's facial expression hardly changes for the nearly two hours it lasts. There aren't really any spoilers to give away.

The film is not deep, and it's not very moving, actually it's rather forgettable.

It shows a drab side of the US, populated with sad people of varying mental sharpness with occasionally beautiful landscape shots.

The fact that the female character is completely fictional and was in reality a man is a disgrace.

You can just try to imagine the uproar if a true life female character had been tossed aside for a male actor.

Yes, it's a fun movie although in no way as perfect as many reviewers say.

There is one thing, however, that everybody seems to have missed, that I found hilarious and which would probably cause an uproar of political correctness if it appeared in a movie today: The Chinese procession plays, not Chinese music, but "La Cucaracha" (The Dancing Cockroach).

That's the way this otherwise engaging movie ties together. What a shame.

Firstly, I never finished the movie, so if it picks up after 40 minutes my bad.

There isn't much to review. Jackson is stuck in his old Pulp Fiction type dialogue and attitude, Reynolds is Reynolds and Hayek.. Well she curses a lot. Lots of shooting and dead people every 4 minutes.

Clearly meant for a male audience with pimples that don't know any better. One has to feel sorry for the young and the crap that is stuffed down their throats.

What can I say? Was I disappointed? No. I have seen Almodovar's movies before. It has been some time ago though, because I was honestly a bit fed up with deviant sexuality, women who are there for each other, wonderful, but of, course, faulty mothers. Here we add some more men-are-all-if at all present-sexual abusers. Plus a little what-did-I-tell-you-about-the-plot kind of chocking ending that you figure out half way through the movie. I still rate it 7 because I did sit it out .... OK, my thorough review did not pass censorship of 10 lines, so I guess, I'll just write a little more about the movie. The problem is, I think I have already said, what I had to say. But look! Line ten has been crossed ... bye ..
