I got through our flag means death in a day. It is a truly brilliant show with an amazing cast, really loveable characters, genuine diversity (both among the cast itself but also in the crew and amongst the writers.) I can see a fair few people saying they "didn't find it funny" and "got bored" and obviously all of this stuff is subjective but, for me, both of those statements couldn't be further from the truth. I laughed, I cried, and, when I reached the end, I underwent the seven stages of grief over the uncertainty of a second season. And I haven't stopped thinking about it since.

I'm not a massive television person myself, and I only ever really watch TV if I think there's something special there, and I'm so glad I bothered with this one. There is something about it that is truly so loveable - I think it's because of the amount of love that you can tell went into it? It feels like it was made with the best of intentions, and created by people who truly thought it would do good things - and it has.

Shows like this are so important. Shows like this would have changed my life when I was little. I'm so glad that media like Our Flag Means Death exists. Because it will change lives, even in little, almost unnoticeable ways.

I couldn't recommend it more - truly.

Where to begin. this is one of the best films i have seen all year, though admittedly i am a tad biased because of my undying love of kristen stewart, and the fact that i have been waiting five months for it. regardless, never have i felt so represented by a film before, many aspects of this film encapsulate my story. it's done beautifully - far better than anything i could have possibly imagined. it's a heartfelt, genuinely funny film that was exactly the kind of media that could have changed my life aged 13. i am so unequivocally grateful to Cléa DuVall for the creation of this movie. i'm not sure if i'll ever have the words to describe how important this movie is, but i can say that i recommend it to you, and would do so a million times over.

Okay, sure this film isn't a piece of art. It wasn't advertised as one and despite the opinions of these other reviews, I wasn't at all bored. I didn't 'fall asleep' or wish I was doing anything else. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Stewart plays her character incredibly well, and is definitely one of the best things about this movie. Contrary to other viewers, I thought the acting in this film was very solid, and the amount of action was perfect, and also a really consistent plot line. It's not oscar winning that is for sure, and if you're in a mood for a serious, emotional action / thriller that has the same tone as the previous charlie's angels this is not the film for you. However, for a causal viewing of a genuinely funny and exciting action film, this is a really good shot. I can't speak for all the other reviewers, but I would definitely recommend this film. Sure it's cheesy at times, but having women as the protagonists makes absolutely no difference to the plot line, and I thought it was just as good, if not better than the previous 'Charlie's Angels.'

I love this film. I really do. Sure maybe the acting isn't top notch, and maybe the jokes are corny and the songs auto tuned, but I absolutely love it. Sure it's not a match to the first Annie, but maybe it wasn't supposed to be. This film does exactly what it advertises to do. It's a really fun, feel good family film. And I really liked the songs. And I adored Cameron Diaz. Sure her acting wasn't exactly incredible, but she's really funny, and brings a lot to the film. It's not oscar worthy, but it's a really cute film and a brilliant way to spend 2 hours in my opinion. I guarantee unless you're as stone hearted as the rest of these reviewers you will come out smiling.

There are loads of negative reviews on this film so I'm here to give a slightly more positive one.

I enjoyed this film. I thought it was funny, entertaining, and the plot was not too predictable. Also, the acting was very impressive.

I watched this on a saturday night, and it made my evening very enjoyable. It's not supposed to be an intellectually challenging film, it's supposed to make you laugh. And it made me laugh a lot. The jokes were well played out, and the main characters were phenomenally acted, and sure- some of the jokes were immature and childish but that was part of the charm of this movie.

Based off of all of the other reviews I had read before watching I was expecting a really mundane film and it wasn't. The plot line was interesting, and even though there were one or two serious scenes I was still very much hooked on what was going on.

This film made me properly laugh out loud, and I really did enjoy it. Sure it wasn't incredible cinematography, and it didn't leave me thinking about the meaning of existence like many of Johanssons more notable films, but it was very enjoyable, and I would watch it again with friends. In fact, this film for me was even with how much I enjoyed bridesmaids, and maybe it's because I love Kate McKinnon and Scarlett Johansson, but I still think that despite the negative reviews this film deserves more love as the laid back comedy it is.

The first Spider-Man was exceptional, and I honestly didn't think it would get any better and then boom. Far From Home happened.

Firstly- the acting. I want a moment to discuss Jake Gyllenhaal. He was absolutely incredible, especially given the complexity of the character he was playing. I couldn't have asked for a better Mysterio. He and Holland had an amazing dynamic and created some mind-blowing scenes. Whilst we're on Tom Holland, I couldn't miss out him and Zendaya. Their chemistry was incredible and both of their acting capabilities really showed in this film.

The plot was also incredible. It had so many mind blowing twists and I was 100% captivated 100% of the time and I can honestly say that I spent half the film with my jaw physically dropping. Also the end credit scenes were two of the best end credit scenes that I've ever watched and blew my mind even further. Remember to stay for the end credits :) Also don't even get me started on the humour that features in this film. It's absolutely hilarious and ranks in my top 3 list of funniest MCU movies. My one criticism, and there is only one, is that because the plot was so dense and exciting, there were a few points where I was sat there wondering what was going on, although these periods were very brief as it is relatively easy to figure out in the end- what I'm trying to say is maybe don't bring kids under the age of ten as there may be a few bits they don't get.

Basically- I loved every second of this film. It was a brilliant use of my time and money and I will probably watch it again and again. If you're reading this wondering whether this film is worth your time the answer is yes, for sure. It's totally brilliant and will really make you laugh, and also hold your breath within the span of 10 seconds. Go and watch it.

I get why this movie has received low ratings- sure the humour was cheesy, the plot was a bit predictable and maybe the movie was a bit dull at times.

I have to disagree. I was so impressed by all the cast- they were all perfect and made the movie that much more enjoyable. Not to name drop but Liam Hemsworth in particular really impressed me. His characterisation was impeccable and so many of his jokes were what made the movie more enjoyable.

The movie was hilarious- sure, a bit cheesy at time, but it really was laugh out loud comedy. I watched it with my family and we all really really enjoyed it. It also does pass on an important message- ultimately, loving yourself is the key to happiness.

Overall, I was really impressed. Sure it isn't Oscar worthy, but the plot was enjoyable, the characters were hilarious and if you are looking for a laid back, easy to follow film to watch one night, I would 100% recommend this one.
