Agent Carter (2015)
worst 2nd season of the century
Bad at story/script, forced acting, sorriest attempts at humour, but plenty of episodes and boring dialogues..
2nd season shows the worst possible scenarios in making blunders in any series possible. And thus totally ruining a character created in captain America movies.
In the 2nd season i was skipping boring scenes by fast forward but even then it dragged. Only good thing is, its not going to see a 3rd season.
I don't understand high ratings given by so many, but fortunately i usually avoid reading reviews before watching a series. But even without much expectations it still was a very bad view.
The Girl with All the Gifts (2016)
failed adaptation from book
I read the book first, and it's excellent. But movie adapted from that book is a total mess. If I hadn't read the book, the movie would have seem jumpy and confused.
Don't think even 1% of the book's brilliance was shown in the movie.
In the book, characters are gradually developed and events move in logical connection. It'd have been difficult for even a 2 hours movie and this long book of around 600 pages would have been better serialised into 5 or 6 hours.
In this movie, viewer doesn't connect with any characters. Casting is terrible, and in addition nothing much else (story arc, special effects & editing) works either.
Hope there's a better adaptation in future. This movie is total waste of time.
Totally shocked by the number of high ratings and unrealistic reviews.
Arcane: League of Legends (2021)
stand-alone viewers review
Imdb user reviews first 3 pages were all highly rated. But what's it really about? Read on...
It's visually stunning with new technology of animation, but is that all there to it? The low rating I've given of 3 is for rest of the things, story, character development, and intellectual stimulation..
How many cliches does it have?
One eyed villian, brilliant scientists behave like biggest idiots, extremely positive or negative behaviour from all characters.. i can go on, but its not necessary.
Basically the story is one step better than emotional tripe served by korean dramas, where characters keep making idiotic decisions repeatedly, and even an average intelligent viewer will get bored. If you are a fanatic fan, then no need to read a balanced review, because it's not going to help your confirmation bias.
Wish such good animation was used on a worthwhile story, rather than on a junk anime level project.
Still not convinced? Then watch it and waste your IQ 😁
Ladyhawke (1985)
beware, it's boring & stupid
Shocked to see high ratings and appreciation for this damb squib of a movie.
Looks like there was no director at all, and somehow squeezed in various scenes by desperate editing.
Acting is terrible, and empty.
Main part of the story is shown by a lost actor mumbling for many minutes.
No chemistry between actors and no feelings for either the good or bad guys.
It's from 1985, but even for that time period, this sham of a movie is dated.
Pacing is super uneven.
On the good side, sets and scenary looks good, but totally wasted, as camera keeps focused on extreme close-up of bland acting.
Overall a waste of time. (If you haven't seen this movie yet, then i can challenge you to watch it and "told you" won't have to be used).
Watch at your own peril..
Bullets of Justice (2019)
beware, it's really bad
Very cheap production, bad editing and insufferable dialogues mouthed by Russian actors or whatever.
Danny Trejo is for few minutes, rest of them are lousy actors.
The camera shakes so much to create action scenes and gives a headache.
Lead actor/hero is one of the worst ever seen.
Many actors in the background can be seen suppressing laughter, as the whole direction must have been that ridiculous.
I really didn't want to write a review, but am writing just to warn viewers.. as many reviews give it 10 rating and it can be highly misleading.
I was jumping ahead often, as dialogues often go for 5 minutes or more, and seem like written by people with very basic English language proficiency. And it's boring like hell. What more do you want to know about this total bs movie?
You've been warned..
Reminiscence (2021)
bad memory
Bad dialogues, unnecessary CGI, wooden acting, mis cast actors.. and drags on slowly. Watch at your peril.
Don't watch this stupid sci-fi pretender, you'd be wasting your time and trying to get rid of the bad memories.
Director had no idea and wastes talents of jackman, Newton etc. Rebecca Ferguson is totally unfit for the role, she looks and feels too plastic. It's a movie which can end a whole career of any actor.
It looks like love forever is forced into the script and some of the worst negative character portrayals in any movie so far. As a viewer, there's no connect with any of the characters, even though everyone is miserable from beginning to end.
I made a mistake by watching it because of imdb review ratings, without reading reviews first.
Spare yourself from this waterlogged waste!
We Are Lady Parts (2021)
season 2 please..
Well written,
Great acting &
Musically rich..
Such shows should be encouraged everywhere in the world.
And had never heard of this show..
Should be given lots of publicity as well..
The Boys (2019)
best there is.. season 3
Review is specifically about season 3.. but imdb somehow show just one title for all 3 seasons so far.
The first 2 seasons are great, but s3 jumps ahead in connecting satire of celebrity culture with superhero genre in the most brilliant way.
Most revealing is the scene from maybe 5th episode, where we see from a voight employee, a crude (without an ounce of empathy), attempt at making a dub video of john Lennon imagine song!
Those who remember during covid lockdown by millionaire celebrities video of similar type, might realize it. Superheroes (instead of millionaire celebrities) who are living in mansions/yatchs etc trying to pander to normies by appeasing them for social media ratings.
The social media wars, where no-one knows who's true or faking is reflected and idiocy levels of the audience as well in this tv series. Its very similar to the millions who commented on a bitter divorce of 2 celebrities (depp & amber) as if each one is an eye witness could be an indication that the dumbo crowds in the boys are the most realistic thing and not fiction.
Of course the series puts the audience in the throne as they see everything happening and be free to judge as someone who has never sinned ever.
Enjoy it, totally worth binging!!
Abigail (2019)
Unbelievably bad
Dialogue is written by people with no English fluency, and actors seem to shout their lines.
Wooden acting mostly.
Bad editing. Pace uneven and confuses the storyline.
Lots of special effects and sets, which seems like a waste for such a terrible movie.
Watch it with caution, its really bad.
Vikram (2022)
Overdose of everything except logic
Watched it solely because of the reviews, but senseless violence from beginning to end, without any sense.
Copied key themes from equaliser, project power and many Hollywood movies to end up as a projection of majority of movie goers today. Call a spade a spade, submit your honest reviews in future..
Only problem is there might be a second part coming..
Les aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec (2010)
Another luc beson flop
Same old luc beson (pardon spelling) fiasco. Script is haywire, characters not even 2 dimensional.. treatment childish with mixed up.
The special effects and camera angles are good, but rest all spoilt by an arrogant director.
Don't waste time watching this.. unless you want a mind numbing time pass of a movie.
The Wheel of Time (2021)
Don't go by 1 raters, it's worth watching
I watched all 8 episodes of WoT.. and then checked user reviews, most have given 1 star rating. Which is a big shock.
Strong women characters and diversity should be strengths, but so many reviews hate it.. guess they are still stuck in old times of mindless patriarchy.
Also saw reviews saying WoT is trying to be GoT.. i disagree with that. GoT was most amazing for first few seasons, then kept going bad. With WoT just 1 season is out. Its different treatment. Maybe it's not for dumb action fanboys.
I usually get bored quick, if any series goes slow, but i watched all 8 episodes of an hour each, in a week. Definitely worth watching.. give it a try.
The Witcher (2019)
Slow drama
I watched season 1, for action scenes. Season 2 due to curiosity. It's a slo drama most of the time.
Season 2 was even more slow, with long dialogues between characters, with whom you don't feel any connection. Seemed like a short story was being stretched to fill an hour long episode at a time.
You might watch it, if you have lots of time, and nothing else to do. I kept speeding thru many scenes without missing out even a bit of story. So a 2 rating is generous.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Watch a fan made video instead
Can't believe the high ratings. This movie drags and drags. It's like script writer zoomed with fans (not the best) and cobbled together scenes.
It's like grandma showing photos of past Spidey movies and endlessly rattling (that's how the characters conversation feels like).
Where are the honest reviews?
Can't believe MCU is getting worse than DCU!!
Minnal Murali (2021)
Super boring movie
Got bored even at 2x speed. It seems like a short old style drama writing has been stretched to a long parody of a movie.
Script is riddled with logical errors and story/character development is as if written during an earthquake.
To add, it's worse than DC movies.
Patriotism or regionalism shouldn't come between a movie/art review.
Watch this movie if you want to waste your time in a very bad way. Wouldn't care to waste any more time on this disaster.
Free Guy (2021)
Worse than green lantern
Script is written by people with no idea of games, game creaters, or gamers. It's boring and I was falling asleep because its boring. Waste of time to watch such an inane movie. It's really bad.
An American Pickle (2020)
Rotten pickle
It's trying to sell this movie as a sci-fi, but it's a messed up plot. Full of holes, aimless and really stupid script. Wasted special effects of old times as well.
It tries to make fun of millennials, religion, media but everything falls flat or misfires. How can such a movie even get released? Total waste of time.
Chaos Walking (2021)
Worst direction by Doug Liman ever
Shaky camera, irritatingly slow often, script full of loop holes, a disasterous junk of a movie. And that's the positives.
Even a class actors come across as wooden, and jerkier than a shaky camera storyline, so no emotional connection with characters. Watch it own peril.
Huge sets and lot of money wasted. Even fans of the actors will hate them by the end. That bad yeah!
Otlichnitsa (2017)
Must watch for any intelligent viewer ;)
The whole 8 episodes are free to watch on YouTube. Beats any recent tv series I've seen from Hollywood or otherwise.
Takes place in 1957 Leningrad, amazing acting, sets, characters and bit russian gloomy story, music and everything else. Totally bingeworthy!!
No idea why I am the first reviewer (public), and why it's not viral already. Watched it in Russian with English subtitles, and it only adds to the authenticity.
Well crafted period.
The Education of Fredrick Fitzell (2020)
Flashbomb'd be more entertaining
Flashback is comprised of scenes with flashy lights and jerking of camera. Such scenes keep repeating, I lost count, but maybe a dozen times!! Total headache inducing. As adding insult to injury, the story is boring, slow, scrambled etc.
The main character even in most gloomy or serious scenes, seem about to break into a smile (atrocious acting), but when the camera is shaking so much, viewer won't notice.
This movie should be banned.. it's that bad. Can't give less than 1 star, otherwise should be rated zero!!
Fear Street: 1666 (2021)
Part 3 is terrible
Part 1 was interesting,
Part 2 disappointed,
And part 3 is the worst.
Too dark, too much blue light, too much cuts, and a total mess.
Avoid it if you can.
The Family Man (2019)
Psychology of characters, children brought out
Family man season 2 is definitely better than s1.
This series can be compared with international tv series. Other than s02 episode 8, the script remains realistic. The 2 children are the best actors in S2, and except for e8 well written.
Samantha's character could have been more 3D, but even without writers full support, she's done great acting. Talpade's role is also well done.
There are lots of dialogues in Tamil, but that adds to realism. North Indian or maharashtrain in Tamil Nadu scenes are very well done. Colleagues working together and gradually bonding in security agencies are brilliant as well.
But one big complaint about the 'counselor' character, which is too cliche ridden and sloppy. Writers should do bit of research, especially when it comes to counseling for relationship issues. The counselor character is like a comedian or buffoon, who doesn't seem to have even basic understanding of counseling ethics. Especially when the counselor is shown as charging high fees. It's important that viewers should not judge counseling as a joke, because that part of mental health is vital.
Overall highly recommended.
Black Widow (2021)
Lazy script
The trailer of this movie was very cleverly made, like a click bait. Probably the trailer contain all the good scenes of the whole movie. Yes, it's bad one even compared to other MCU movies.
The script seems to be made in total lazyness, based on couple of lines. It's like story should start at a point and end at another point. Just mix some dialogues and special effects in the middle. Which is hugely disappointing for any MCU movie, and the first black widow movie as well.
Villian is a big let down, but when the whole movie is bs, there's not much to criticize. Florence Pugh shines, hopefully she'll get better script in future.
False Hopes (2020)
Bore fest
Skipped through the whole movie in 10 minutes, even then was a torture.
The producer/director should be made to watch this 5 times or quarantined for life from making any movie ever.
The Breadwinner (2017)
Lousy script ruins all
A sad attempt by a clueless writer about Afghanistan, a badly tied together scenes, irritating repeats of similar happenings, and miserable voice actors...
Relating this lousy story, with Afghanistan problems, this movie gets some attention, but it's totally undeserving.
The animation and lighting is good, but nothing can save this choppy, wishy washy script and writing. It's neither for children or adults. Total waste of time.
