Kaiju No. 8: Fortitude 9.8 (2024)
Season 1, Episode 4
9/10
This is like One Punch Man meets Attack on Titan and I love it !
5 May 2024
Best episode so far ! So many new things were revealed and a lot more still left to be revealed.

The pacing in this show has been so good. All the episodes go by very quickly. This episode felt like 5 minutes, which is a sign of a good anime in my opinion.

It has the goofy humor of One Punch Man which I love. And it has elements of Attack on Titan which you may notice. But they work so well !

The characters are very interesting and I'm really excited to find out more about them as we go on ! 12 episodes this season only ? Ahh, wish there were more.

I am still waiting to know the backstory of Kafka and Mina, I feel like a lot has happened between them that we don't know yet. Hope it will be shown to us, atleast in this season.

Brilliant build-up, weak pay-off !
1 October 2023
The film starts off strong, creates a mystery around the main character, gets your brain to start figuring out what's been going on in the town !

Then the aliens arrive. The horror aspect of the aliens was really well done. The sound design helped tremendously.

The whole conflict of human vs aliens was really unique. Although the CGI for the alien is not the best. The VFX however is really good. There is a difference between CGI and VFX.

Then comes the climax, the final act which was pretty weak for me. I understood it. But I think it was executed badly and it just didn't hit for me.

Overall a good experience but unsatisfactory in my opinion. The no-dialogue gimmick got old really quick.

Even though the movie is 93 mins long, I felt it dragging on.

Gamera: Rebirth (2023– )
7/10
So full of heart and so much fun !
22 September 2023
This series has so much heart. The characters are so lovable and well-written. No one is annoying and everyone has their own unique qualities.

I love the non-linear story-telling. Especially in the starting 3 episodes.

It's starts off very strong and piques your interest for different types of Kaijus that might show up. Also it's good that we get 1 Kaiju per episode which keeps you watching.

The animation is also nostalgic and new-age at the same time. I don't care what nobody says, the mix of 3D and 2D animation was good. I liked it.

Hope there is a season 2 and we get to see these characters again.

I would love to dive deep in this world again. They are so lovable and fun.

Super-fun how to end the summer. Not too long, not too short. Solid 8/10.

Nice conclusion to a fun trilogy.
3 September 2023
A nice conclusion to the whole trilogy which was super entertaining.

The overall story is very simple and easy to digest but the plot twists are done well.

The characters make you feel something, they are not bland.

The gore was done correctly and not at all over the top.

Each movie of the trilogy was unique and has a different feel to it. The bring back the 90s vibe so well. The soundtrack was amazing as well.

Hope Leigh Janak makes more of these Fear Street movies. Netflix, please make more of these.

They are so fun to watch. Not 1 minutes goes by when you are bored. The setup and payoffs were so good.

Thallumaala (2022)
7/10
Entertaining enough.
21 September 2022
The movie was nice. I liked it overall. Felt a little dragged in the middle but it all tied up in the end. Loved the non-linear way of telling the story.

Firstly, positives - Great transitions and segues into different chapters.

The action scenes are very stylised and cool. The background music is also catchy.

Acting is good and the set design is also cool.

Now the negatives - Too many songs, unnecessary dance sequences.

The romantic sub-plot was very bad. The story was poorly written.

Overall, nice one-time watch. Maybe 2 times, because the story is told in a non-linear way. Excited to see more like this.

7 out of 10 for me.

Overall, a decent attempt. Hope it gets better.
9 September 2022
First, the positives - BGM is absolutely superb. The soundtrack gives you goose-bumps in the climax.

The VFX is top-notch, the colors are vibrant and cool.

The setup for Part 2 is good. I am curious and interested for it.

Now, the negatives - The dialogue delivery is so dull amd inorganic. The lines are very cheesy and outdated.

The hammering of love story and Alia Bhatt in crucial epic scenes, ruin the flow. It could have been trimmed.

A good entertainer for families and kids. Theater experience is worth it. No regrets. Hoping for Part 2 and more improvements and more focus on the story.

Eternals (2021)
7/10
This doesn't deserve the low rating.
2 August 2022
This movie is so good, I don't know why it got the hate. The story was nicely told. We got to see new characters. The action scenes were so good. The costume design was on point. Normies probably expected lot more jokes in it. I liked the slow and serious tone of the movie. Waiting for the sequel.

Ahh, it's political and too on the nose.
23 April 2021
Could have been something super fun but they went the woke way and used racial topics to bum you out. Many plot holes. Weak villains, weak storylines, weak humor and weak action sequences. Justifying terrorists and humanising them is not what I want. Karli and her gang sucked. This could have been so much fun, god they missed out on that.

Wasted my time on it, don't waste yours. Watch Invincible instead, it's so much better.

Amazing conclusion to DCEU.
19 March 2021
I loved it. This was pure fan service and I enjoyed it. 4 hours went by really fast. All the characters got their arc completed and got a fair amount of screen time. Nothing felt rushed or left out. Amazing action sequences, and well-written dialogues. I would definitely like to see more of this universe by Zack Snyder. This is the way, the DCEU way. What an amazing conclusion to Man of Steel and Batman v Superman.

Super Deluxe (2019)
8/10
Oh my god, send this to Oscars instead of Gully Boy instead.
21 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is the movie that should have been sent for Oscars instead of Gully Boy. What an original concept. 4 different stories linked so well, brilliant writing. Insane acting by Vijay Sethupati. 3 hours well spent, I urge you to see this movie right now. Brilliant filmmaking by south industry. *Spoilers* One thing I hated was the alien in the middle of the movie, that was weird.

Mardaani 2 (2019)
8/10
Vishal Jethwa's performance is incredible.
18 February 2020
The narration by him and the editing in the beginning hooks you in. The story is well written and the rat and mouse chase is interesting to watch. The highlight was Vishal Jethwa's acting. He transformed into different characters so well.

Rani's portrayl was also very geniune. She was good as a firece cop.

Along so many pros, come some cons. The speech on interview show by Rani towards the end felt very preachy. Suddenly came women empowerment speech which wasn't necessary. It was about the rapist and the cop and it should have stayed within that limit.

All in all very well written story, fast paced and intense. Doesn't feel long or boring. 7/10 for me but +1 for Vishal Jethwa's performance in a negative role.

7/10
So good. A masterpiece !
2 February 2020
Saw the Director's cut and it is so well done. So many trippy and tricky scenes. Well-written and well acted. Finally a good horror sequel. Kudos to Mike Flannigan for this. He needs to do more of this stuff. 3 hours well spent.

Proper entertainer.
23 January 2020
Nawaaz was great as usual. Athiya acted very well as well. A little dragged but very entertaining and sweet. Some good messages. Could have been better but still very good. Hope to see more of Athiya in these kinds of roles.

Good Boys (2019)
8/10
One of the best comedy movies of 2019 !
9 November 2019
Damn, I audibly laughed out at a lot of scenes. The chemistry between child actors is amazing and so funny. Do watch it. We so need a sequel !!!

Booksmart (2019)
1/10
What ? Why ? It doesn't deserve the high rating.
9 November 2019
Someone said between this and Good Boys, this was better. She was wrong. Good Boys is definitely more funnier and better than Booksmart. The movie is so dull and is not relatable at all unless you are a feminist in high school. The jokes are unfunny. I closed my laptop midway and cannot go back to it. So bad, ugh. Ruined my day.

Cobra Kai (2018–2025)
9/10
Amazing sequel, better than what I expected.
30 September 2019
This show is so well-made. Loved the story writing and characters. The music is amazing. Every episode is nicely made and makes you want to watch another one. I thouroughly enjoyed the first 2 seasons. This is the only good show on Youtube Premium. It should be more popular and more talked about. Definitely deserves more seasons. The fighting scenes are somewhat underwhelming, it's not fast and well-choreographed but the training scenes are very cool. Hope to see more of this in future. Good work by the creator in making this a heart-felt sequel and not a cash-grabbing one. 10/10 for the effort.

Not worth the watch. Don't see it.
13 September 2019
Yeah, it's one hour of torture. I always hated Chelsea Handler, she is a disgusting woman. This is just her trying to be relevant and get woke points. Ignore this garbage, watch Bill Burr special, Paper Tiger instead of this.

First half - Ok, Second half - Great.
22 July 2019
First half was absurd ad very pretentious. Frankly speaking, felt unnatural. I still didn't get why the character of Rakul Preet Singh fell in love with the character of Ajay Devgn. Way too romantic and lovey-dovey for me.

Second half is where it's fun at. Loved the character of Tabu much better and felt much natural. The confusions and the jokes and tension was pretty good and funny. Tabu's emotional acting was mindblowing. Hat's off Tabu. Team Tabu all the way.

All in all, a fun movie. Must watch at least once.

One of the best shows of all time.
23 June 2019
Such genius writing, fast dialogues and meta humor is exactly what I crave for and this show fulfils it nicely.

Dan Harmon wrote these characters and supporting characters amazingly.

Once you start this show, there is no stopping. Also, Britta's in this !

Six seasons and a movie.

Deadpool (2016)
5/10
Over-hyped average movie which tries to be funny.
15 February 2016
This movie is not awesome. It is a one-time watch only. I don't know why people are so hyped about it. This movie just tries to be too funny yet it doesn't succeed always. Comedy in every 2 seconds in the movie becomes annoying eventually.

Nothing new. The editing was nice. Music was good. Some scenes were funny. But the movie was predictable. I predicted what was gonna happen next in the movie and I was right. The most foolish line in the movie '' Did I leave the stove on ?''. Doesn't even make sense.

One last thing, the Stan Lee cameo was OK-OK. I don't know why people are saying it is the best cameo but I have seen better Stan Lee cameo. The post-credit scene was nice and I found it funny.

Must watch if you are having a rough day, it will ring a smile to your face. If you are already too happy, then don't watch because it might disappoint you.

Best movie of Bollywood till now !
10 February 2016
First of all, Thank you Nawazuddin Siddiqui for giving us an awesome movie. His acting skills are legendary. He doesn't acts, he lives the character. He makes it real. Such an emotional and inspiring movie. So sad this movie got leaked online. Story - 10/10. Acting- 11/10. Music- 8/10. For anyone out there who wants to watch a movie based on a true story, watch this first. For anyone out there who wants to be a successful actor, watch this first. For anyone out there who wants to be inspired, watch this first. Nawazuddin is a man of talent. I look forward to future projects. Again, thank you Manjhi crew for giving us something we can cherish for life.

Batman: Bad Blood (2016 Video)
One of the best Batman animated film.
6 February 2016
Story- Really nice with some clever twists which you won't be expecting. Dialogue- Good sense of humor. Intelligent puns. Characters- Awesome. I loved it. However, the voice over is not that good. Everyone has same kind of voice. Music- Nothing new or catchy. Like every other Batman animated movies. Editing- Perfect. Well-edited. Overall- This movie is fun to watch. There would many plot twists which you will like. The animation quality is good. You won't get bored during the movie. I give this 10 because it deserves it. . This is a movie you will watch again and again. Go DC Comics. You rule ! Waiting for the next animated movie. Hope it will be as good as this.

Gotham (2014–2019)
5/10
Nice show, with a good flow and great suspenses.
29 January 2016
As a die hard fan of Batman, I started watching this show even though people gave it negative reviews. I put aside the criticism and started watching it. To my surprises, I kinda liked it. I was addicted to it. Not in an obsessive way. I was addicted to it because it left us with a great suspense. At the end of every episode there is a new twist, which moved the story forward in an unexpected way.

Some people do not like it, some like it. It depends on the person. But the show is not awful. Some light-hearted comedy in between keeps us interested.

If you are a fan of Batman universe, you will like it if you watch it with an open mind.
