Why westernize it? The good thing about the book is that it makes sense, it is contextually linked. We cannot identify with these characters, everything is too rushed, too cramped. The dialogues are BAD. Noone feels real. And can Netflix writers form two consecutive sentences without using the F word? Yes you are cool we get it, but it just sounds vulgar nothing else.

Oxford five is a group of losers, these are not scientists at all. The big bang theory gives us more believable scientists, these are just talking... nothing serves for the story. Auggie is just irksome, i dont even care if she dies, while Wang Miao was a beautifully written character. Another disappointment.

First things first, they did a top notch job with visual effects. Bending techniques, the way the elements connect with the bodies of the characters, the places all look wonderful. They bring the world alive. However, that is not what ATLA is about. In order for the characters to have their development we need to see their interaction, we need to see their characters, that is why we love the characters in the cartoon. Here the characters are all over the place. There is no goofiness, they are all too serious which bothers.

Also, showing things subtly, inserting the message between the lines is the strength of the cartoon. Here they deliver ling winded, empty, and bland speeches that do not move us.

This is doctor who, brilliant strategy by RTD. Bringing Tennant and Tate together hopefully will revive the soul of Doctor who. The pacing is fine, acting is brilliant. The conflict and the resolution are perfect. Their synergy together is phenomenal. I loved the little jokes inserted here and there. After 3 years of agonizingly bad episodes this episode brought back hope.

There are of course some over the top scenes. I dont like the new tardis design, the intro and outro are too flashy. Why does it have to be like a disco ball? I cannot wait for the rest of the episodes. Rtd delivered again.

This is a slur on Poe's legacy I had high hopes for this, and at the beginning the atmosphere and the eerie music felt like this show would deliver. But then everything went awry with cheap funny overlong exposés of the children with whom noone would be able to form a swnsible connection. It is as if those parts were filmed by someone else and glued to the gothic narrative by force. Everyone swearing their brains out as if they cannot speak without uttering a swear word at every sentence is desteuctive to the legacy of Poe, who never needed such underhanded tactics to draw attention. No need to swear, no need for nudity and sex, he used the best of language and poetry to arouse the imagination to action. This drivel wont let you immerse yourself into the narrative at all.

This is the problem of the new age pseudo intellectuals, grabbing at meaning behind even the grotesque, meaningless gibberish.

Edit: The last two episodes left me speechless. They are boring, terrible, stretched out I dont know why, lots of didactic nonsense that can work on a 5 year old maybe, terrible terrible dialogue, worse horror scenes. This was the worst thing i have had the misfortune to watch. I regret having exposed myself to such profanity.

This is what cinema and tv have come to, put in some handsome and beautiful actors, throw around some cgi, make terrible jokes, put in a twist that has been done a million times befortheythe film is Cheesy, terrible script, terrible acting, terrible jokes, terrible cgi, terrible twist. People will watch it and like it just because Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot and The Rock are here, and they did not put in the slightest effort at all. The plot is very mediocre, the wrtiting is terribly boring. I fell asleep at least 4 times. Physics don't apply at all. The twist tries to be clever but fails at every level.

This is too simple to be Black Mirror. Black Mirror used to be subtle, brilliant, and covert. Its criticism was never the criticism of a 7 year old blurting things out, showing directly. It used to make you think, make you use your mind. This is too basic, yes we all know terms and conditions are dangerous if not read, yes we know streaming services work like that etc. The colours are too artificial, the tone is childish, and the comedy is incredibly basic. Are we supposed to laugh at the laughable performances, jokes, and the terrible acting? Profanity has become a staple in contemporary tv and cinema, and f... this f... that is not Black Mirror smart. Disappointing.

Do not be fooled by the low ratings by people who are popcorn cinema watchers. I am not saying this is the best depiction Troy could get but it is pretty decent. Acting is good, it is more faithful to the original story (in fact bringing together these minor details from the whole story is an accaomplishment in itself). People say it is boring, yes maybe for people who has never read, or herd of the Illiad. The real epic is much closer to this. People comparing this to Troy are laughable, because Troy is a real mess, it is a shadow of the original (though I enjoy watching it for a better version of Hector).

Watching sraightforward tasks delivered with David's flare is fun. But the tasks fall short of extra fun and creativity Taskmaster offers. Comparing the show to another is not always fair, but it is inevitable. Vtrs are not edited that well, and the contestants are having fun, but it fails to deliver the fun to the audience fully. Still fun, great lineup and of course David Mitchell.

I fail to see what got people so hyped about this. It is slow, veeeeryyy predictable, characters not relatable at all, long winded bathetic (yes that is a word) scenes, borderline annoying characters, no skill or smarts needed only luck, very poorly written "twists" that fail to be twists and so on... This is a huuuggeee disappointment.

Kenshin live actions have been the best live actions ever and this last installment does not disappoint. Although they left out my favourite part of the OVA (the beginning, Hiko saving Shinta) they perfectly brought Kenshin to life. We will miss the man that makes it rain blood.

Terrible acting from all ezcept Hiroyuki Sanada and Chin Han. Kano is suuposed to be funny??? I am sorry, but couldnt they find an actor that could speak a little better English for Rayden? Liu kang here looks like a 15 year old. And the story... Terrible. Dialogues fail. And they destroyed the beautiful original music. The first 7 minutes was the best (if not the only good) part of the film.

Well it was boring. None of her motives are believable. None of her epiphanies real. She is just after her own hedonistic ideals. Phony, Selfish and Boring.

I love the show, but the animation is really really bad in season 4 part 2. No action, they draw empty spaces and the ball just goes there. Full of freeze frames. I can hardly bring myself to watch it.

It is not too deep, not too exquisite but it is still not too bad. Funny at places, Sherlock is not bad, but i hated the portrayal of Mycroft. Some details could be polished, a little more of her education could be shown, etc.

Red John was one of the greatest villains in TV history. The 6 year chase was great and it built RJ up to a person on par with, nay, even better than Patrick Jane. The reveal was abrupt, unthought of before and not satisfying. Then again there were moments of excellence in Baker's performance.

Perfect story, perfect music, perfect drawing, everything about it is perfect.

We need more episodes like this. Great suspense, great villain, great conflict, and great characters. Mary Shelley was awesome. Percy as well. Even the companions were ok.

Yes Graham found the perfect name for the group. I didnt want to insult them but after this episode this name fits perfectly to this trio especially Ryan... Pleaasee somebody save DW from this drudgery

Unfortunate after 2 brilliant, almost as good as mediocre pre Whittaker seasons episodes this was again season 11 material. The story could again have potential. Too much rushing into things, random, no good characters, unnecessary family drama, unnecessary companion sidestories, unnecessary Ryan... and at the end, unnecessary, cheesy delivery of primary school. Doctor who fans are generally speaking above a certain level of awareness and therefore look for things that might spur their imagination. Hopefully this was the blacksheep of this season.
