How is this rated lower than the 1st Episode
22 June 2023
All I can say is, this might not be the best episode but they still have the same the Classic formula. This one was funny as hell.

Hopefully until IASIP ends, they can keep the same level of comedy, its understandable that in the later seasons it can be hit and miss, but IASIP already surpassed that by keeping it funny after all these years, which most Shows lose.

They never missed a season where all of episode are bad and unfunny.

IASIP already cemented their title as one of the best comedy shows of all time.

Also Charlie Day's acting went back to like he was in the earlier seasons, some of his acting from a few seasons back were a bit underwhelming. But hes back now thats what matters.

I still support this as this is the first Filipino film/series who took the risk and made a move to step up Philippine Cinema.... but
12 May 2023
FINAL UPDATE: First early episodes sucks balls. Bear with it, it gets better, it gets really really better, just ignore the bad acting of some parts

All budget went to CGI, CGI was good for a filipino film but everything else was bad, acting was cringe except for the veteran actors like Dennis Trillo etc., the storyboarding and the cinematography was awful, there are scenes which the context was skipped, alot of scenes which badly executed, couple of dead air shots without sense, the sound design is extremely painful, There are times where you wont hear any sounds, the environment is silent, only voices are heard, the gun firing sounds sounds like it was just put there on top of the clip not matching the shots. Terrible ending per episode, They cut like this was a 1 Full movie and cut to episodes, there are no cliffhangers on end of episodes so far to excite the viewers for the next episode, it just randomly cuts and show credits.

I would love to give them the benefit of the doubt as this is a daily episodic series, but unlike other daily episodic series, this was given time and budget to release a finished quality product, no reason for them to release a trashy series.

I blame GMA for still getting Mark Reyes, cuz he is old school and never evolved, unlike Hollywood directors which are timeless(Scorsese,Tarantino,Spielberg etc.) Quality Films even at age 60-80.

Filipino old directors never tend to evolve in directing style, writing and etc. I hope they've given this project to a younger director with fresh ideas and relevant writing. Zig Dulay excecuted Maria Clara and Ibarra very well given the daily episodic setup, Although major scenes in MCI were not perfect, I appreciate the cinematography and the concept of what Zig is trying to send, also MCI was unexpectedly unpredictable.

I've actually defended this from other bashers during the trailer release as I was hyped and surprised about the CGI quality but got really disappointed of the finished product.

I get how foreign people support this as this is a first in Philippine Cinema, and people praise this as support, But lets be real here, Aside from the CGI, nothing was good here,. Even the ColorGrading was awful, it looked like a cheap oldschool Encantadia palette (which was very untimely now) very old school TV look very 2005-2007 GMA 7 Fantaserye vibe.

Don't get me wrong I'm all for this, but I wont be blinded and fake praise this just for the gist of it. I'm criticizing this to make sure the next one would be better. If people think this is good, then future films wont make improvements

Lihim ni Urduja was waaay better in quality/writing/cinematography compared to this. Sad to say but Kick out Mark Reyes.

PS: Changed my rating, Story picked up Pace after at episode 10 Action made up for what was lacking, even the cringe acting became somewhat acceptable in some parts. STILL Sound Design is trash, acting overall is trash, but the storyboarding improved Not sure if this will be consistent, hopefully it will. The Color palette still looks awful some scenes look like they are oilpaintings. And this Telenovela Colorgrading should be removed from TV.

Another Update: OK I was wrong but the early episodes were really trash, I must say this has gotten awesome.

Great concept for a typical filipino tagalog movie lover, but very predictable for true film lovers
26 December 2020
I've watched enough films that on the start of this film i already know the twist that they were planning.

Seriously 7.5? this is nowhere near even an 8, lowest this should get is a 9
26 September 2020
This is one of the best filipino romance films, with Cheesy, Corny and Cliche filipino films everywhere. This is like a hidden gem of the philippines. A simple story with deep meaning. People who votes low here are probably filipino viewers who loves cliche filipino films who loves happy endings etc. This film is reality, people with good taste in cinema will love this film. Too bad most filipinos got bad taste in cinema they were exposed too much by cliche corny romantic films. Im filipino so I know it. I bet if this was shown abroad this will get a minimum of 8.

The Keepers (II) (2017)

Could've been a great Series
17 June 2020
First few episodes were exciting, revelations after revelations, until they stretched out with unnecessary scenes and details. Could've been a 5 episode Masterpiece wasted and lost its charm

10/10
I get the fans, but i dont want this to end yet
4 March 2020
I get what you guys are saying at this ep. It turned out to be most part cliche. Im not even mad. Season 2 was a blast ill give them the final episode to be cliche and stretch things out so we can have another season. I want another at least 1 more season with this. And 1 bad episode of 8 is fine with me. But its not even bad. Its just OK

Glass (2019)

Im Angry!.. With the critics
16 January 2019
This is the first time that i posted a review in a while, its just because I'm so angry with the critics, I cant stand them to bringing down Shyamalan like this, giving the film a bad word of mouth. This completes his comeback, Critics are crazy giving this even 5/10. I get that the twist won't appeal to some. but for me its a very smart and realistic way to end the series, very grounded ending.

Loved Bruce's David Dunn as always. but Mcavoy Just wow! what a performance, he stole the movie with his performance, the only thing I can say bad about this film is the second act might be dragging or slow but it works (just like unbreakable). then it Explodes on the final act. One of the best trilogy in my list.

'm angry with the criitcs but i liked that cuz of them I went with low expectations then i went out of the cinema thinkin are the critics crazy? Loved the ending very satisfied with the ending.

Go watch if for yourself and decide. II'll give you guys a fact about this film, THE CRITICS ARE F*ing WRONG!!!

10/10 FOR ME!

Welcome back Shyamalan!

if i can give a negative star i would
3 March 2015
this sucks so bad, I've never made a review on IMDb until now, i cant handle this anymore, this is why filipino films don't get recognized in the world, this movie is predictable, funny(supposed to be scary), acting was disgustingly awful, very unrealistic.. they use sound to shock people cuz they cant make a decent horror film. as if they made a movie just to gain money and don't give a s*it about anything else.. while im watching it with my friends, the first part, as i expected was totally awful. then i peeked on the ending, they made a twist a very predictable twist. but it was really bad, awful bad.

-100000000 stars, as for comedy ill give it a 2star LOL

wenn deramas, please stop making movies.. u are a disgrace to our entertainment industry
