This movie is like a vegetable soup - random things are put into a pot, but anlike the vegi soup - it doesn't taste good. There is everything but a good script and storyline.

Yep, that is true. I still go back and re-watch this Hulk from time to time. Edward Norton performance is outstanding - and not as Hulk but as Bruce Banner struggles to suppress his green Mr. Hyde alter nature living on the outskirts of civilization. On the other hand we have a wonderful performance of Tim Roth who plays Norton's antagonist - a devoted high skilled soldier who wants to be the best warrior in the world at all cost.

2019 Rambo is booooooring. The plot is not special - there were many more interesting movies with similar plot like "Taken" or "Homefront". This movie just shows how to squize last penny from a dying movie franchise. It dies like Rocky franchise - in pain without letting it go. "Rambo" was a product of 1980s action movies with part III being the best of its kind and as such should have never been considered to be re-opened. The plot is flat and predictible to a point of a final showdown at the end - a climax that everybody waits for the past 70 minutes.

How did it come from 2001 "Fast and Furious" to this? From a criminal movie that took place in the world of tunning cars to a world spy sci-fi cgimovie?

In a world that resembles "Children of Men", tormented with ecological disasters and a vision of human extinction - there is a country where citizens decided to take strong actions to prevent from the vision of the grim future. Men are put in charge and women are relieved from their constitution and freedom rights to serve for one purpose only - giving birth to children in a utopian society that follows the rules of Bible. But this show is not just about this - but most of all - it's a study of how a totalitarian regime is born. How a simple and dangerous idea is pushed from the deepest parts of frustrated minds to become a basis for a new society whose happiness is assured by rifles, severe punishments, eradication of basic education and fellings - a society free of any critic thinking, fully devoted to the state. Where fear is the main tool to keep the state united. But like any totalitarian regime - it also starts to eat it's own founders. It's a study of how ordinary people are being corrupted when given absolute power. And it's a study of people who can't stand up and agree to become victims of the cruel ideology. Sounds familiar? This is the show that will help just a little understand the history of the 20th century.

I would rate it just a little bit lower than "Gomorra" TV series. Now the proper way is to watch 1st and 2nd seasons first - and then watch a 2015 movie "Suburra" - this is the right timeline.

It reminds me 2009 "The Moon" and 2016 "Cloverfield Lane" combined together. It's fine but I would make a more darker plot twist.

How to foul people to think a TV show can be superb? Hire one star actress and... that's it. The scenes are so artificial and looks like shoot in a theater on a stage. The story is boring and predictible - in the middle of episode two I knew exactly what was going on. And I watched episodes no. 1, 2 and last (the last took me 15 minutes). If you need to stay in bed for two weeks and have nothing to do - then you can try this TV show - otherwise it's just too boring to waste your precious time.

If you were cought on a hook by the show trailer that it is about the struggle to send a man on the Mars - then watch just first and last episode. It's just another love sope opera with two main names and some background space story to attract more people. Beyond that there is only another TV series about relation between parents, children, wifes, husbands, and some old love.

Don't be fooled by this title - it's not a TV series derived directly from the 1981 masterpiece "Das Boot". After first episodes I ended up fast forwarding as the action of this show is split between the events on the submarine and on land. It quickly goes into this pattern of love sope opera.

You probably have already come across this line from the title. You should watch this HBO TV show to understand the complexity of Chernobyl nuclear reactor no. 4 disaster which was the outcome of not only a number of bad decisions made shortly before the tragedy but the result of living in fear in a totalitarian system where one lie covers another lie and where achiving any goal is more important than safety and human life (by the way - this was one of nuclear disasters in the USSR - e.g. in 1957 there was Kyshtym disaster which involved radioactive contamination). The shots in the show are amazing - trully bringing back the memories of 1980s behind the curtain wall life with every little detail from buildings, vehicles to furniture and all accessories along with the emphasis on the sound effects that makes you feel that gruesome and helpless situation. I really recommend watching this TV show - if you will not like it - well it's only 5 episodes. But I'm sure you will not regret it (not like watching the last season of Game of Thrones).

My first thoughts when I started watching it - 2010 "Terriers". I would say now that it's more light version of "Braquo" - but still it punches stright into viewers face not to let them stop from watching it till the very end. I really recomend watching this TV show.

It's another version of the 1997 "The Cube" - again six strangers are put together in an controlled hazardous environment - a maze - to proceed from one room / cube - to another. It's not about solving puzzles - it's about human psychology put in extreme conditions.

At some point this TV series reminds me "Predestination" (2014) - but there are more layers of twist and confussion. Really worth watching.

I can understand why probably most viewers will rate this movie low. This one is not for everyone. It's not to watch with your family or in a bigger group of friends. You will understand this movie and see it's little details and appreciate them when you are at least 30 something years old. This movie is not about crime - it's about love and man-woman relationship. I would say this movie is at some point closer to Bertolucci "Last Tango in Paris". The way the actress looks at Reeves in particular scenes you will immediatly understand what I mean.

I guess this is excellent example of what happens when too many CGI replaces a good screenplay. The amount of stupidity in this movie is enormous. And I would even consider saying that dinosaurs form the first Jurrasic World were way better presented than in this movie. If you have hangover and you don't have the urge to use all of your braincells - you may watch it. Otherwise you are risking frying your brain.

I came across this TV series quite by an accident - stated watch first episode and... by the end of the day I had already watched all episodes. It's good solid crime drama with unusuall way of showing it.

For season 1 alone I would give score 9 or maybe even 10 - the details and precision of bringing back OJ Simpson case in a TV show will blow your mind. After each episode of season 1, I spent time digging up the real facts and stories of that case and comparing them with that show. Sarah Paulson acting is pricless. The OJ Simpson's "Dream team" portrayed by Nathan Lane, David Schwimmer, John Travolta and Courtney B. Vance will blow you right into face. And season 1 is not only about OJ trial - it's about racism struggle across US in the 1990s.

Unfortunatelly the exelent performance of season 1 was lost in season 2 - yes, there are also great acting performed by Edgar Ramirez as Gianni Versace and Penelope Cruz as Donatella Versace - but two great acting performance won't help 2nd season - it's simply boring and has very little to keep audience before silver screen.

This TV series was really promising with good pilot, first and second season. And at some point it started turning more into soap lawyerish drama without this what it used to be. I would rate this TV show higher when it had been finished around season 4. It has it's own pattern that becomes annoying when you see it in every episode. But hey - you need to find it by yourself.

It's about mafia - modern mafia - from the soldiers point of view, and the bosses point of view. And it is closer to French TV series like "Braquo" or movies like "Truands" rather than some romantic comedies with Sophia Loren. No green screen or fake window views - the picture easly swings between outdoor and indoor scenes showing all dirt not only in the scenery but the dirt of characters involved directly and indirectly in the mafia matters. And remember mafia is above family - and some characters personality changes across the series better than Walter White into Heisenberg.

French movies can be quite way more disturbing if you know what I mean: "Doberman" or "Truands" ("Crime Insiders"). And "Braquo" will not disappoint you - there is no political correctness, there are no white teeth and something that you may lack in US productions - many characters smoke cigarettes like people in real life. Detective's job can be quite dirty and you need to have solid comrades that you can relay on. That TV series will hit you with so much reallity and good twists. This is not to watch with family on Sunday afternoon. But you have been warned - start watching first episode and you will end up watching the last.

If you don't anything to watch or you are treating from Saturday hangover - go for this movie. But don't have expectations of watching next part of previous Oceans. There is lack of deeper relation between main characters. The plot is rather flat with not a sophisticated twist. If you want to watch a real good movie about heist - go rather for "Den of Thieves" (2018) which is way more entertaining, with better screenplay, and in the end it will blow your mind.
