Not sure what was so special about a dude with the charisma of cardboard to warrant a series no one wants to watch but I thought maybe there is something interesting about the industry or some more insights.

It's a glory piece with no specific direction or acting, and not even the character is interesting or compelling.

I don't expect depth but I have seen similar documentaries from the female pov and they are very interesting, I would suggest those instead as they paint a complete picture of the industry and its little secrets.

Again not sure who would watch this, who the target audience is because the MC is really not easy on the eye (not the actor, but the man he is playing) and cannot imagine who would be that interested in his life.

The animation in Part II is much improved, similarly to how Eternal films behaved.

The final 15 minutes are really beautiful and well done, incredible use of colours and composition, the atmosphere is good, deep insight into characters. It was fantastic to see Galaxia and we got time to spend with her (unlike any of the other villains in Crystal) and understand her background and motivation a bit, which really helped with the world building and storytelling.

In the last 10-15 minutes the pacing also finally slows down, and we get to see the most beautiful animation of Sailor Cosmos (thanks largely in part due to Sidney Deng's contribution to some key frames as well as the transformation for Chibi-Chibi).

So everyone was right in that the pacing for the films is truly not helping the story develop as it should and it's incredibly difficult to relate to characters when you can't even sit with them. Some cringe scenes occured in part I with no rationale behind them, such as a character I won't name switching from random dialogue to breaking out in song, also too many scenes occur on the same rooftop.

The star lights barely get any screen time, look I am sorry but that was the big appeal about this arc. They also took away the iconic music when they transform which is a shame. There is a bit of strange back and forth between "are these new fighters our enemies" and "omg the star lights have a concert tonight even though we just found out their real personas" fangirl moments in the same scenes and it's incredibly confusing. We also never get any closure whatsoever and it's the film's biggest flaw. It's fine to follow the manga but I don't get why not add a one-liner with an explanation at least. In the original version (sorry, yes I will mention it) we not only spend a lot of time to get a feel of their individual personalities but we also get closure, even though that respective ending was rushed and left the story largely incomplete. I feel as though you'd need to combine them to get any sort of satisfaction.

Ultimately, the animation in Part II is much improved, similarly to how Eternal films behaved. The final 15 minutes are really beautiful and well done, incredible use of colours and composition, the atmosphere is good, deep insight into characters. It was fantastic to see Galaxia and we got time to spend with her (unlike any of the other villains in Crystal) and understand her background and motivation a bit, which really helped with the world building and storytelling.

The OST was lacking yet again, apart from the intro music. Still largely choir music mixed with piano and some metal. I feel like 70% of the 90s atmosphere was the music composed by Takanori Arisawa, and the remainder 30% the voice acting. The original had a much much darker atmosphere and it was a bit frustrating to see this largely lacking yet again. It is a bit too vanilla when the manga clearly depicts various violent events. These were never translated into the Crystal remake. It can be quite bland in parts without this element.

The VA for Cosmos sounded bored, no idea what happened there. Still, I enjoyed the 2nd episode and thought it was the best the remake could do with the budget and attention. Nice closure and ending. It felt authentic.

It's sad we never got to spend some time with any of the girls and Usagi's friends in the remake, there could have been more scenes showing the girls bond and build on their friendship. You can't rush these things and just show character 1 cry over the death of character 2 with no background whatsoever and expect viewers to care.

The best thing the studio could do for Sailor Moon is remake the 90s version and get rid of the filler episodes.

First of all, this documentary focuses on the social media aspect of it only.

I wanted to watch it because I recall being force-fed a lot of click baiting Youtube videos and articles during the trial, and the fact that I never watched anything JD related before, only to bombarded on home page when I logged on was a massive red flag.

I thought "how come I'm being recommended videos of him going into a hospital as a pirate when I never even liked the films?"

In the end, due to this, I decided to watch the trial, it was impossible for me to find JD likeable on stand and was trying to check if I was even watching the same trial as everyone else.

Saying some ambiguous things in an article whilst not naming someone in specific and having this torn to pieces for the aim of proving "defamation" reminded me of Soviet Russia when anything said against the party could get you thrown into jail. A democracy should allow freedom of speech. This is what the trial was about, I don't now what really happened between them except that they were very toxic together.

JD seemed to have problems remembering things which cast doubt over his reliability as a witness. AH seemed stressed out on the stand, but her behaviour was in line with her previous interviews, she is always animated and can come across as overly-passionate when she speaks, which is something I happen to exhibit and it can't be helped. However it was not clear why she was so disliked or labelled a liar. There was a lot of bias reporting at the time with lots of red flags.

In the end, the documentary could have focused more on the psychology of mob-mentality so I can't rate it highly. It should have explained better why people are inclined to pile so much hatred based on short clips and tik tok videos.

I feel like this tries to paints the monarch in a positive light, at the expense of Princess Diana and Prince Harry.

Also not sure the timing is right in a time of great distress for Brits. The story seems embellished at parts. I would have gladly watched something more objective, especially considering Diana's tragic demise. It also focuses a lot on his ex gfs pre-Diana which isn't very compelling or interesting.

I think nothing really makes you want to like the character that much, they are shown as a poor parent, a poor husband and hyper focused on his job, all while cheating.

I just hope it won't become a trend for more of these documentaries to come out.

Camilla is fantastic in this film, I loved all the plot twists and the fun atmosphere.

A lot of things were relevant to our times such as leaked videos, gossip and toxicity in school. It is successfully reminiscent of high school movie classics like Easy A. I love how it blended so many cliche 90s teen movies together, it worked well.

However, I did find that it really needed an edit for time though, 2Hrs is sooooo long to be engaged in the camp.

I'm trying to wrap my head around complaints about 'wokeness' (what a weaponized word). I'm an unbothered millennial, as long as the actors are decent and the story is fun I don't care what their background or orientation is, who has time for this nitpicking anyway ?

Where's my Scooby Doo? Shaggy isn't Shaggy without his best bud Scoob.

I went in to this knowing nothing apart from the OG show ,had not even watched the trailer. I Was not expecting a "comedy" I was expecting something more gritty and character building.

It's nice to see the characters as different backgrounds but they are not faithful to the source material.

As an adult show it was not that necessary. Shaggy doesn't act like Shaggy at all, Velma is rude, show is not very funny or engaging. Fred is a narcissist. Velma was also nicer and I loved her character. I'd be quite happy to rewatch the OG from the 80s now.

I'm hoping something good can come of the feedback and maybe the show can fix some of irs current issues.

'Tone-deaf' is what we are looking for here in this economy. This is a world wide issue and not just isolated to the UK or US. Documentary is about their rich, privileged problems that are in total isolation of the real world. They had the chance and the right to speak to their side of the story in Oprah, anything else is unnecessary.

Are their problems relatively real in their world, yes. I'm Sorry. Are they harder than others, no-not even close. Literary millions, billions live in hardships unimaginable to them, yet they set off to profit by pushing their scripted/super pr'd/over directed 'hard life' - 'family was difficult'. No way? Really?! I'm sorry you don't have access to the billions or Hollywood's millions anymore but don't tell me your life is hard because of paparazzi and unfair media and then go make a Netflix special.

Everyone in the family seems too uptight and boring for my taste, no I don't care for any of the remainder either.

It could have at least focused on who exactly it was that made racist remarks because that's what people wanted to know. Their love story in expensive restaurants you can only access via a membership is nauseating. Nothing about these two is relatable, I'm sorry she was crying in her expensive cashmere jumper, I wonder if she ever wants to wear anything under 300 dollars. I disagree with how she is the only one to get all the negative attention however, not sure what's so great about her husband.

I really empathized with her when she said she has rarely stopped working since she was young and also when she was in hospital getting treatment for lupus.

I'm not a fan of hers but I thought I'd watch this anyway, I thought it was great although a bit too short and some subjects were touched upon very little (eg her lupus, her beauty brand Rare, her former relationships and the effect that had on her such as being held to a standard or perfection where people think you must be happy).

I do think that other young people watching this can fell a bit less alone and feel empowered to share their struggles with mental health so for that alone I give this an 8/10.

It's good to ask questions and research in addition to anything any form of media is telling you, however , instead of simply doubting, it seems easier to declare that it was a fake, with zero evidence and only feelings that the pieces don't fit the way you would expect them to.

This is the basis for this documentary. Feelings of anger and distrust.

Let's not forget everyone has an agenda at the end of the day and this does not exclude the producer of this documentary.

Something "feeling fishy" is not proof of a conspiracy. Documented evidence of a conspiracy is the only such evidence. This is not something Covidland provides.

Board room conspiracies can be true, but grand conspiracies have never been so far. As the conspiracy grows large enough, it will eventually just collapse under its own weight, and thus, never becomes a grand conspiracy.

Not only are the characters very likable but it's hyper focused on the supernatural and mystery.

The story keeps surprising you. I'm on episode 9 and it's not repetitive at all. There's also good character development so far.

It's one of the best anime series in recent years !

So for one thing, he is actually right about the world being controlled by a handful of people, I'll have to give him credit for that. However he does not seem to identify them correctly. I prefer Adam Curtis for these types of documentaries and they are extremely well made all of them.

I am also disappointed to see that people calling refusing a vaccine freedom yet will happily sign their entire lives away for a 9 to 5 job with limited time off.

Belinda had the best scene in this whole film. The hen was a better actor than the rest of the cast. The atmosphere reminded me of Melancholia but with a funny twist.

Having watched all the films I simply wanted more screen time for Rei and Asuka. Instead I get Shinji again, monopolizing most scenes.

The animation is spectacular and one of the best I have ever seen. The music was also very good, no criticism there. I would have preferred it if the Eva films focused on each character separately.

The ending was OK. I will just go back and re-watch the series.
