The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Udûn (2022)
Culmination
For a series, the budget and quality of this episode was fantastic. After a long wait we receive an action packed, thrilling episode, that leaves me wanting to know what happens next. I enjoyed the previous episodes, because of all the mystery and plot gathering that guaranteed the last few episodes of the show would be entertaining. There is still a lot to happen and be explained and I truly hope the next episodes will be as good or better than this one.
Everyone who was misled that the show is so bad that it is unwatchable, should definitely at least give it a chance. It's not a masterpiece but it's certainly worthy of your time, especially if you are not so hellbent on an a priori expectation for the storyline.

Untangling
Exciting episode which shows some acceleration in the plot in contrast to the wide and tranquil exposition of the last 3 episodes. The story seems to be getting very slowly untangled but this allowed for building up the main characters.
There is still a lot of mystery left for the viewers like me who haven't gone through all of Tolkien's work. Filming and production are as beautiful as ever and I am failing to find the cause of all the hatred towards the series. I have seen far worse productions getting praised and high rated and I do not believe the current rating reflects the overall quality of the show. There are a lot of things to be improved but so far I have enjoyed the watch and am expecting an even better continuation.
Memoirs of a Geisha (2005)
Tasteless reviews
First of all, an overall very pleasant production with great scores and visuals. The scenes after the end of the war were a little out of sync with the rest of the film. Some other minor issues with casting and missing plot. Many other users have already given very well structured summaries of the films accomplishments so I don't feel like repeating what has already been said. But...
The majority of the extremely negative reviews for this title are blowing up the issues out of proportion due to what seems as mindless mimicking of woke culture. It feels like most reviewers expected a documentary about geishas rather than a film. Instead of enjoying the art of film making, many users have decided to express their disingenuous concern over cultural/historical details.
I urge people to give this film an honest review and to judge it's merits and flaws involving as little of their political, or otherwise strongly biased opinions, as possible.
