As painfull to watch as Nicole Kidmans face.
24 February 2024
Firstly, what did Nicole Kidman do to her face? Combine that scary smacked lip and plastic cheeks look with one of her most annoying perfrmances and you hope the series has redeeming qualities. Well it just gets worse.

Plods along at a snails pace. Goes nowhere fast other than to thoroughly punish you for sticking with it.

Long scenes that offer nothing other than to shorten your life.

Not even the soundtrack can save this self important shallow bore fest.

So, to recap. Don't waste your time. If you ever liked Nicole Kidman and like that fantasy then definitely don't watch this.

Is there anything here that's worthwhile? Yes, the ending.

Stop watching at Episode 7
30 January 2022
This wasn't bad. Up until the last episode....then the whole thing got idiotic.

It probably would have made a decent movie excluding the last episode.

Slow and boring as hell
16 January 2022
I would rather have had an afternoon nap than watch this movie. In fact I would rather rather pull one of my teeth out than watch this snoozefest.

Slow, boring, drawn out, terrible mess of a movie.

Even last season was more interesting.

Music is unbearable

What were they thinking with the soundtrack. It's so disconcerting that it completely destroyesthe experience.

Amateur Hour
23 October 2021
Terrible....almost unwatchable. Acting is wooden and entire production is Sub B Grade. The continuity is poorly executed.

Nothing redeeming, a snoozefest from beginning to end.

The Guilty (2021)

Whiny and sniveling snoozefest
3 October 2021
If this is how 911 is run the God save us all. Massively implausible from so many angles.

The attempt to link sympathy for the tortured officer is completely destroyed by his petulant and overly aggressive behavior.

By the end of the movie you just wish he would get locked up for life....exactly where this movie should be.

Scorsese drew out the potential.
18 September 2021
Dreary, drab, slow. Had such potential but turned into a snoozefest. Disappointing. Oscar Isaac is standout. Tiffany Hadish is weak. The snail pace simply drags everything under until it drowns.

Had Potential
5 September 2021
The premis is interesting....but poor execution and acting let's it down.

The biggest problem is the overt political woke agenda. Too overt....audiences are not stupid and a nuanced approach would have worked better.

Season 2 is almost unwatchable.

Wish the music would get sucked in.
28 June 2021
Had so much potential. The Information paradox could have had a bit of fleshing out. The graphics were boring and repetitive. The music was horrendous and mind numbing.

Kate Winslet is Superb
6 June 2021
TV rarely shows the truth about anything. Life is hard, exhausting and exhilarating a at once. Life is simply worth bearing because there is love.

Frustrating Sound and Overly confusing
8 May 2021
I don't care if Nolan is an award winning sound expert. Just like Oscar Nominated films don't reflect mainstream taste, this frustrating layered sound that drown out dialog is simply annoying and does not help an already difficult film to try and understand.

The Temoral physics where horribly flawed and most of this confusion could have been solved with a well crafted teaching scene.

This is a movie that could have easily cut the audience some slack without any detriment.

A mainstream Soundstage would have gone a long was regarding this.

Worth watching...but expect to be frustrated like tryin to open that childproof lock on your headache tablets. Just make you feel stupid , annoyed and with a bigger headache.

Brilliant Terrifying Discomfort
25 April 2021
This is a masterpiece. Incredible cinematography, the most disconcerting mix of violence and music.

If you want to know what evil is watch this show. Evil is simply a dogged conviction that your belief is true. In other words a Zealot.

Look around and you will see this starting to infect every aspect of society.

It Gadot silly
26 December 2020
A Juvinile disappointment of a movie. Gadot is gorgeous to look at...the rest is as plastic and as the outfits.

Had potential but the whip flying really let the movie down along with Gadots acting skills.

Had potential
11 October 2020
Little too soapy, filming was on point, character development a bit shallow. Helen Hunt was very weak. Acting as plastic as her creepy facelift.

Filming, lighting and sound were superb.

Sean Bean was simply annoying.

Cut out the overacting, replace Hunt and Bean, darken the script a bit and this could have been top notch.

Overly dramatic snoozefest
5 September 2020
Get over all the sloppy drawn out drama. Needs to have a better balance between the characters, relationships and real space issues. Right now it's just a slow soapie .

Juvenile
22 March 2020
If you are in high school or still live with your Mother you will love this film. If you work for a living and resent wasting money.....steer clear. Also has a 2 hour 8 minute run time...and that'd 2 hours too long.

Uncut Mess
2 February 2020
Ok...Sandler is very divisive out the gate. You either love him or hate him. So if you put him in a movie you need to make sure everything else is outstanding. There are two things that are outstanding....but they are both outstandingly awfull. One is the soundtrack, it brings any perception of quality to this mess of a film too its knees. It atrocious. Two, the contant cacophony of unnecessary shouting and noise. Its unbearable. Then throw in Sandler and you just have a complete mess.

Acting and script are wooden. It's a few levels above a soapy. Something to keep you occupied if you have absolutely nothing else to watch.

Confused and falls Short
22 April 2019
This had such potential....good acting and a decent script. However this is a very disjointed and confused adaptation. Cinematography is bleak and lighting is depressing. The musical interludes were awkward and have no gravity.

Watchable, but only just.

Overrated Bore
24 March 2019
I really struggled to make it through. It was poor on so many levels. I can only think that the Man eye Candy is the only reason it got anything above a 2 star rating. I would rather go to the dentist than sit through that snore fest.
