Reviews

Watched this series once it was played on Netflix. Outside of a few items, this was an outstanding series. Most of the script seemed to be historically accurate for the most part. The sets, photography and locations were outstanding. The chosen actors portrayed their roles quite well. An interesting take on a pirate film outside the Disney/Depp comedies. Always found pirate adventures to be of interest since I was a child.

Thought the chosen actors were quite talented. Jessica Kennedy played her part very well.

My two negative comments are regarding the script's version of the execution of Edward Teach or Blackbeard, and the ending outcome with Captain Flint.

Edward Teach was a unique pirate, in that he was known to actually try to avoid bloodshed and violence if possible, during raids on shipping. Blackbeard would try to use intelligence and experience to frighten enemy crews into surrender, thus saving lives of both enemy and his crew members. According to historical documents, Blackbeard was not executed by a governor from Nassau as the film displayed. The film portrayed Blackbeard's execution as him being keel hauled three times, then shot by the governor. Blackbeard was caught and executed by Robert Maynard, a British officer of the HMS Pearl. Blackbeard was shot and stabbed by sword multiple times, then his severed head was displayed upon the bowsprit of the HMS Pearl.

My main complaint would be the closing portion of the series where Captain Flint's crew manage to talk him into surrendering to a prison camp. Unsure if this was injected into the script as a possible back door to another season, thought it was a very weak way of concluding Flint's character as the master of most of the season.

Used to enjoy Sandler on SNL - on occasion. Once Sandler started making movies in the 90's - it only took a couple of flops to cure me of his activities. Swore I would Never waste my time on another Sandler/Happy Gilmore mess.

I only gave this a chance because of Ms. Rossellini's part. The film initially had promise, but quickly fell short of all marks. The plot became less cohesive and thinner throughout. The Kubrick 2001 and 2010 science fiction films were some of my all time favorites - 2 of the best Ever made. This attempt was nothing but flaccid in every category, especially with Sandler at the helm.

That's 2 hours of my life I won't ever get back. Sandler can continue to make comedy golf movies for the rest of his days.

The film makers of this mess are riding the coat tails of 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' which is a mistake and another disastrous film.

This film is geared toward those with a teen age mentality. It is nothing but background noise, to be played during a party when a school age kid's parents leave town - just to make sounds like MTV.

'Bullet Train' is an insult to the Japanese film community of present & past. I wish the two Japanese actors that appeared in this tripe, the best of luck after taking this job. I would watch every Godzilla movie ever made, in a row before watching this again. If you want to see a good film about trains - watch something called 'The General.' This film is 1000 percent better than "Bullet Train' in every category, and is silent.

This film has no plot, no plan and no logic. The script is merely hundreds of smarmy one liners that they threw up in the air and pasted back together. The actors chosen here, regardless of their skills - could not ever rescue this chaos.

Many of the revues here (from 5 - 10 scores) can be explained by those who left the reviews - they even admit that they were inebriated while watching this movie. So.... if you trust a review written by someone soaked in bodily fluids, vomit and liquor - that is your option.

Worst Thor film yet. Likely the worst MCU film that I wasted my time on - which is saying something after the latest Dr. Strange installment. Thought I'd give this film a chance based on the outstanding cast. Found my decision to be in error. The cast, even including some of the crew from Guardians of the Galaxy cannot save this bomb. A little surprised that actors of this caliber agreed to participate in this mess. Throwing in the Guns N Roses tracks didn't help either. The plot of this movie was, to use a direct quote from the film "Not every God has a plan." The actors seemed to be begging the audience for approval or laughter.

The photography and effects were Weak.

I believe if I was around 9 or 10 years old - I might have enjoyed this film. The script and humor were beyond juvenile.

They really spent $250,000,000 on this mess? For that kind of money - I could have made a better film. Over $80,000,000 more than what they spent on the new Top Gun flop.

Highly recommend. Will not compare this film to the documentary - it stands alone quite well. A film that highlights one of the most dangerous activities on earth - cave diving rescue. Don't believe there's been another film quite like this with the subject at hand. The script was very well written. Excellent photography. Actors performances were outstanding - even the Thai actors performed very well.. This film could have been 3 times longer if it described the back stories of all the activities and characters - it stuck to the basic format of the story, which had enough drama to make this an outstanding creation. A film that pretty much anyone can enjoy, only a very small amount of obscene language. Watched this at home - but it would have been an outstanding film to see in the theater.

Great cast and script. Hoping the next season arrives soon and is as good as the first. Wish that Kyle Chandler's character was still on the show.

Find it amazing that some of the bad reviews here complain about too much violence and racism - then they say Yellowstone is much better. Not necessarily a Yellowstone hater but I'm missing the logic.

So Yellowstone, a show about "ranches & cowboys"where they pretty much beat, rape and or murder someone (including many Native Americans) on every episode is acceptable. But a show like M. O. K. - which is about police, crime and prison violence is not acceptable?

Outstanding show, excellent cast, cutting edge scripts, amazing effects. Not for children - or the feeble minded. Finally a show that hits all of the marks. For those of you anencephalic haters that can't accept the narrative - if you can't stand the heat - get OUT of the kitchen. I hear Hee Haw and Roseanne are still showing as re-runs for those who desire to remain permanently in the pre 20th century (or earlier) - we won't need you.

Just can't get by the question - why would the military draft a 60 something year old veteran to train other pilots, and assume a combat role flying multi million dollar aircraft? Grew up riding motorcycles - we Never rode our bikes with our leathers unzipped - that scene was a travesty. Why did Cruise make this "sequel" in the first place? Hoped this film would actually accomplish something. Corny dialog, story and characters. The kids that Cruise was training were mostly wrong. I've met the real top gun and combat pilots and spoken with them - they are decorated senior officers, with degrees and manners, that don't act/look anything like these Kardashians. Also, Top Gun fighter training is Not in San Diego anymore. Basically identical plot to the first film - which I did enjoy. Have to admit the action scenes were well shot. Was really hoping for something new and different from the original - just didn't happen. $170 million budget for this? Only giving it a few stars for the technical achievements otherwise - very little praise. L. Tom Cruise - time to hang it up.

Gave this movie a chance. Grew up watching Sean Connery playing Bond, this movie was a disappointment. The plot was far fetched at best. They spent all the money for the budget on the special effects toward the end of the film. I guess it could have been worse.

Don't bother. Only gave this film a chance because of Mr. Harrelson's role, and gave Hart a chance to redeem himself - won't make that mistake ever again. Kevin Hart is NOT funny. The script for this film was horrible. Most of the script contained flaccid one line dialog that children in junior high school could have written better. The plot was weak. One of the worst new films I've wasted 2 hours of my life on.

I actually enjoyed the previous Dr. Strange movie. It actually had an adult oriented plot. Perhaps if I was 10 years old it would have been better.

The plot in this bomb was horrible from beginning to end. I'd say the CGI was good - until they flew into another universe and became cartoon characters. I was waiting for Homer Simpson's appearance. Even captain Xavier couldn't save this tripe. Going to flip a coin to decide if I watch the next installment, maybe.

Gave this film a chance, and I'm glad I did. Beautifully located in New Zealand. Glad to see that Taika Waititi has now starred in, written and directed the new Thor movie - good for him!

Amazed at how many right wing misogynists and all of the other xenophobes that went to the trouble of bashing a Star Trek series. I hear Dukes of Hazzard and Roseanne are still being rerun...

Very well photographed in stunning locations. A little slow on the plot side. Based upon a true story. Acting was of high quality. Heroes in Danish history.

Who are giving this show high ratings?

Perhaps I'm missing something. Barely made it thru the first episode - about 3 seconds of action in the entire show. People eating, attending a show, attending an auction, etc. Is this where comic based cinema is going?

Thinking Disney is trying to attract pre teen girls to Marvel Comics films. If I buy a package of chocolate chip ice cream - and when I open it - it's all vanilla, without any chocolate chips - who's to blame? Think about it.

Are they kidding? WORST Batman film EVER. Too Many "Dark" scenes - saving money on props & scenery? Pattinson's part was let's just say - he won the Flaccid Award for weakest Batman portrayal ever. Pattinson can't even raise his voice. Also, Dano as the Riddler? I've met homeless people on the street that would have played the part better. The Riddler's Costume? They transformed one of the coolest costumes in Comics ever - into one literally made with Duct Tape and Felt Tip Markers? What did the Riddler costume cost - nothing a trip to the 99 cent store wouldn't solve. Coming soon - Batman takes on the Kardashians. $185 million to make this movie?

We're supposed to believe.....These immigrants risked their lives, worldly possessions and what little funds they had on something they had zero experience or knowledge of? By that time, they could have hopped a train to San Francisco, then steamed to Oregon. 14 years after they drove the golden spike. Travel time; weeks not months, much cheaper & safer than thousands of miles by wagon. The behavior, appearance and dialog DO NOT match the period either. The photography is decent, beyond that - this is Tripe. Guess all the Yellowstoners swallow up anything they're served.

Tarantino is an idiot, and if you enjoy his films - well.... For me this film has 2 strikes on it before it ever leaves the hamper; Tarantino directed/wrote it & DeCrappyowe starred in it. Never got the over exaggerated hype regarding Pulp Friction either. The weak role Pitt played did not improve this mess either; perhaps the Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses from the 99 cent store were supplied to impress someone? Never going to happen. Even an appearance from Pacino couldn't save this expired tripe. The story line in this movie is non-existent; it starts somewhere and leads nowhere, yet another common Tarantino trait. If a young child in a film has to speak up to tell you "that was the best acting I've ever seen" - you're already sagging pretty damn low. If you have the limited mental capacity of an 8 year old child - you might enjoy this film - I was NOT impressed, not by any of it. Yet another film that I would never visit the cinema to watch - not even close to being worth the investment in time or money. Might as well pitch this film into the same feces heap as the Joker or Blair Witch. Wondering why this mess has such a high average rating - as most of the reviews are not very positive.

Over rated by many. Interesting attempt, I enjoy the DC films for many reasons - most of which are not included in this script. What are included are too many reality based scenarios - which I watch the DC films to Forget about. Was waiting for them to show the Joker getting a Prostate Exam. Overall, I'd say that a standalone film about a DC villain - doesn't fly.

Read some of the poor reviews - thought they picked apart the plot a little too much. Yes, the story line was a little iffy - but ITS A MOVIE - not real life. Would have given it a 10 - but certain parts could have been improved. Thought Brolin and Del Toro played their roles well. People who nit pick certain movies should probably find another hobby - I heard bowling is fun...

Watched the majority of this and was stunned. Until the part showing Mickey Mouse beneath the sea. Not a 2000 year old relic. Thought something was amiss, then that confirmed it. Not a very good idea to make claims that this is legitimate and then be discovered as a scam. Next he'll be finding the Arc of the Covenant or the Holy Grail. The artwork is nice, but I would never have wasted my time if I would have known.
