Why Camaroon, why did you ruined the beautiful concept of Pandora, and reincarnation for us?

Avatar 1 was beautifully made with well written story and characters. The ending was so perfect. Part 2 was so messy with too many people with a cliched story line. Some scenes were so cringy that Hindi soap opera will be ashamed. The God like status of Jake is totally ruined here. You will start hating the character and his kids. Neythiri was still sufferable. Kate Winslet's character has nothing much to do. The sea creatures weren't as beautiful as real sea creatures. There were lots of scenes I felt like watching Dubai aquarium. I won't watch 3rd and 4th !

Everything else looks good. The actors , the 50s or 60s set up, the color palette, but the suspense part is something I have already seen many times. Half way through I guessed what is going on. Then everything looked a cliche. I don't want to give the spoilers. But for the audience who love psychological thrillers, this is nothing new. Plus it is not as good as many of the other films in the same genre. The ending is little hurried without giving a closure. I love open end movies, but this movie was not supposed to ask the audience to decide what next. There should have been a clear ending. What a waste!

If you like butterfly affect, time travel, premonition genre series and movies, this is just for you.

Love how brilliantly it is written, even though there are few plot holes. Every character is brilliant and you connect with them so easily even if they appear for few minutes. The old detective's wife for instance. The dialogues are very clever. Everyone acted so well especially the boy Isaac. The series will stay with you even after it ends. You will start questioning the ifs and if nots.

This series is not for someone who wants to watch series while doing other things. This needs close attention.

I have seen bad actors getting better after acting many movies, like Katrina Kaif and Arjun Kapoor. They are still not good actors but better than what they were. But Mohanlal becoming bad actor from an excellent extra ordinary actor is unbelievable. He used act with his eyes, body movements and stillness. Now it all look like caricature!

There are many 1 actor movies which are very captivating and make you feel at the edge, but this movie lacks that. It is plain boring and you see Mohanlal instead of Kalidas. There were some good moments but 85% are bad. Not a tight fast paced script which needed for this kind of movie.

Don't even try to watch it on OTT.

Thoroughly enjoyed another well written, well acted suspense thriller from Jeethu Joseph. Everyone acted so well and it the background score was apt for the mood of the film. Asif Ali nailed the psychological mood of the character and saw some old Mohanlal element in it. The story is different until the interval and completely changed the direction of the movie after that, with the first half is still looming in to the second.

This is a totally different kind of Whodunit suspense thriller which has never been done before. The twist ends 15 minutes before the film but still kept few suspense to the end.

7.5/10 from me.

I am a great fan of the director and he always brings amazing suspense thrillers with brilliant plot twists. His brilliancy is not bringing the cat out of the hat as a twist. But he shows the cat throughout without us noticing it. But when he pulls it out, we will be like ' oh how could we miss it" . But this movie was a big disappointment. A lady enters the mental institute as a patient by her intention is to investigate a murder in the hospital. Some scenes are not linear which I normally enjoys in a movie but here they were just to confuse people. When the movie ends, there are lots of questions unanswered. Not just because it was an open ending but because there were lots of plot holes. What a waste!

Great concept and good acting but poor story, screenplay and direction made it into a disaster.

There is an evil in the village and to defeat that evil the ruler of the village summon another evil. This is not a good Vs evil story, which is actually the basic of any Muthashikatha ( bedtime stories). None of the characters are well developed. After watching 2 hours of the movie you will feel that you got each one of the characters for just 10 minutes. The final fight scene was kind of comedy instead of thriller or horror. There was no slow revealing suspense kept. Everything was out in the open scene after scene.

It was a binge for me. I am still trying to conclude if they did in the first summer and in the second summer is right or wrong. It is all gray for me. I don't know who is right or wrong.

The series is very well directed , scripted and acted. It keeps the secret throughout. The build up and revelations were brilliant. You will keep getting new secrets which they kept all these years.

There was little confusion who is who ( young and old version) in the beginning because none of them look same as they were younger. So just some help for new viewers. There are 8 people in old summer and new summer Peter - the guy who plays guitar married to Rome' - who is little chubby, Luke - Cancer kid , now in relationship with Lea who was not in the old summer, Luke was married to Sasika but divorced. Didier - bald now but cute younger married to Sofie who was a victim. Old summer there was Mark too. He is not in the second summer.

I love Spanish thrillers. This amazing Argentinean film is dark and beautifully directed.

The movie is not linear , may be that is reason people did not give good rates. Because most of the people now wants to be spoon fed.

The movie goes back and forth abruptly may confuse you little but that is actually get interesting when you get in to the flow. You will be glued until the end to know was it murder or just bad luck or act of god.

I am still not sure if I am with the girl or with the writer. I wasn't happy about the ending but still I loved it. The dialogues are so well written, so even the english translation was good.

Watch it if you like a good psychological thriller.

The show is very well written it will slowly drag you to the misery.and struggle of people in Easttown. Without even realizing, you will slowly become Mare of the town. There is enough drama and mystery throughout the series. Every episode ends with a surprise and lots of twists for mystery fans.

I watched it without expecting much as most of recent suspense dramas disappointed me. Kate Winslet did a fantastic job. You can feel her pride of being Mare of the town, and also her pain for being Mare of Easttown. All the supporting casts too did a wonderful job. Even the kids. It is a must watch show.

I love slow movies, I love original simple movies, I love low budget cute little gems from Malayalam. But this movie wasn't one of them. There is this guy who is pushed to do a job that he didn't wan't. Good premise and I was expecting a his nice journey which changes his perspectives and growing as a person. But none of these things happen in this movie. He goes there, few things happen and a cow delivers at the end. That's it.

I don't understand the hype of this film, or the box office success. Did I miss something or did I watch a different version on OTT !!

If you love good movies , just skip this one. Watch may be Home once again.

Someone dies in a building complex and 3 strangers who are die hard fan of murder mystery podcasts get together to solve the mystery. It is an OTT knockoff of Desperate Housewives. Instead of a neighborhood street, here it is a building. Instead of 4 families, here there are 3 strangers. Except quirky humor there is nothing much happening. You lose the interest to know who done it half way through because none of the suspects are interesting enough. Also why done it is really banal and cheap. Also there are lots of expensive jewelry lying around that no one care about. Plenty of plot holes , easy access to the evidences is really funny too. Don't believe in the high rating if you are a mystery fan.

The story telling is non linear. There are flashbacks and forth which makes the movie more beautiful as it needed for the dark atmosphere. All characters living in different places are well connected together at some point in the story. Brilliant acting by all the characters especially Holland and Pattinson. Well written characters and dialogues so you will even connected with the few minutes appearing characters like the uncle and the neighbor guy. The movie is emotional but it will not drain you. The background music is very well done.

It is a two hour plus movie but you will be glued to the screen until the last scene and it will let you free in a nice way.

Is it a great movie? No, Is it a bad movie? Again No. But it is a good "Bollywood" movie released at the time when it is needed. I saw many critics and viewers are saying that the love story is unnecessary. But in my opinion the love story is just a satire on love stories in all the movie Industries. Love at first sights, globally accepted lover Stalking, romantically being creepy cheesy rain moments etc. There is no right or wrong about film criticism. It is entirely personal perception and taste. But Balki is asking critics to to be sensible and learn the entire concept and background of a movie before criticizing it. The Mongolian movie bit was the right example for that. Unlike a public viewer the critic has a responsibility and should utilize her/his power wisely.

First half ruined by the acting of Arjun and second half is ruined by the nonsense story line. I was at least expecting few twists and big reveal at the end but it is just a straight forward stupidity all along. The movie had a promising start but cringe worthy acting and non existent chemistry were pukish to watch. Hoped John might bring some surprises but he was like a wx statue throughout the film. The screen play was so poor but dialogues were decent but the actors couldn't pull them off. The female leads had some roles to play and were better than male leads

How did it even crossed 50 crore collection?

First of all , I don't see anything wrong with Anikuttan. I can't sleep with a baby crying next door. He definitely healing the loss of his father and shows the anger, understandable. Then landslide and survival. He did any other human being would have done. He is not a changed man because there was nothing to change. Very linear, kind of boring film. But Fahad was brilliant.

It is a bad copy of Gossip girls and Pretty Little Liars without suspense, thrill or story. I should have given 1 star but 1 extra star is because the dying kid is a bully here. Another extra star is for the gay boyfriend of main character is a flamboyant, black guy, little out of the box.

I was just awestruck the entire time and was staring at the screen even after the credit rolls. The message it gives is so deep. The plus point and the minus point is it was just 15 minutes.

This movie is not just a horror film it is a horror, psychological, slasher, suspense thriller. There are few jump scare moments in the beginning then the suspense builds up nicely. Though there are some scientifically questionable loopholes, that is too stupid to ignore, otherwise It would have been a 8 star movie.

When you think Malayalam movie Industry had already touched all the subjects, they keep coming with relevant great movies. This movie will make your blood boil and then slowly soothes you with some awesome dialogues and amazing court scene. Some twists on the way will make you question your own prejudices towards our Indian society. This movies is much needed for our society. Normally I don't recommend Bollywood to remake and ruin any movies. But this movie will be a good remake with the right director and cast and can reach to maximum people. No bhakths or Sanghis were harmed while making this film.

It is an usual lost memory after an accident film. Normally Korean movies bring some unusual twists in the story. But this one is a huge disappointment. Very boring.

Nicely scripted well acted film. You will be fully invested throughout the movie. There are few secrets and revenge motivation which makes it a thriller but overall it is a family drama.

The phone game is copied from the famous Italian film Perfect Strangers. But still the film was interesting with a murder included in it. It will keep you engaged till the end with Jeethu's direction skill. Some Mohanlal scenes were usual cliche but overall it felt different. All the youngsters did a great job.

It was a decent paced suspense thriller. There are some lags in between but you won't get bored and will be guessing throughout the killer. The twist is something really unexpected though there were clues.

A better marketing could have made this movie a hit.
