This was a great movie, but nowhere near as good as the excellent novel and previous movie iteration of On The Beach. I cried the most with the book, but this was more agonizing than the 1959 movie. Armand Asante is very good as the commander of the submarine. Bryan Brown is a great actor, but not for this role. The remaining actors and actresses were excellent. Same story with several excellent and heart wrenching differences. The end is coming much sooner, so a lot of the best of the novel is minimized. I didn't care for the main love story between the two protagonists, but The mysterious message in Alaska was jaw dropping. Thank goodness for an intermission.

I changed my rating to a 5 because they didn't have Kurt Russell in every scene. His son Wyatt, was ok, but come on: he barely looks like Kurt. There were a lot of actors but the lavaste vast majority were barely fair. Kurt made every scene exciting and interesting. This meant the vast vast vast majority of this series was unexciting, uninspired, tedious, boring, and stupid. This was 500 minutes of mostly talking. Where were the monsters? Kong popping up for a 10 second preview? Godzilla for a few minutes? Some ice breather for some boring minutes. Is Kurt returning to the storyline in 20 years? Who cares about Hiroshi and his kids? Too too too much extra dribble.

This was a very very beautifully unexpected masterpiece.... The premise of magical bakery goods making people feel special and resulting in wonderful results is original.... I was wondering what was going to happen in the end. It was totally unexpected.... The leads were very attractive and superb actors. And you could definitely see the magic developing between them. The supporting cast was also very good. It was a funny movie.... It was a sad movie.... It was an unexpectedly fantastic movie.... And left me feeling great.... As well as hungry.... The desserts were as beautiful as the leads. It's is definitely worth watching.

This was a painfully slow moving film, a film that needs to be watched in one sitting. Once I focused on the movie and continuously watched it, I realized I was watching a dark, deep, emotionally draining, violent, superbly acted masterpiece. Robert Pattinson acted. He was dark and brooding. His eyes and lower face while wearing his mask spoke volumes. He was finally acting. Zoe Kravitz was wonderful as cat woman, also carrying a lot of personal baggage. The supporting cast was impeccable. This was a fascinating iteration of the riddler as a violent insane killer, but Paul Dano did a great job. This was the best I have ever seen Jeffrey Wright. The movie started in the middle and ended in the middle. It was great.

I finished the

I did it. I finished watching Ahsoka.... What a monumental effort to finish this boring and uninteresting story. One episode with all the battles would have sufficed. Why...? Why...? Why...? The characters are flat...dull...emotionally challenged...uninteresting.... Rosario Dawson is too old for this part. Sabine needed to be left in the hospital after getting whooped in episode 1. Ray Stevenson was wasted. Thrawn is pretty important...but flat! Droids are cute but predictable. Battle scenes overdrawn...and predictable.... Does anyone care? Enough, Disney. Star Wars needs to be retired. And this from someone who saw the greatest of Star Wars: the original series in 77, 80, and 83. Time to move on.

This was the best Mad Max of the four movie series. A very broody, introverted mysterious Tom Hardy played the role of a lifetime, amazingly and effectively replacing Mel Brooks. Charlize Theron and Nicholas Holt were superb, bringing humanity and emotion to what could have been stiff roles. The additional supporting cast members were equally auspicios. The minimal computer generated imaging made for truly gut wrenching scene after scene of marvelous and exciting chases and battles through the desert. What a pleasure to watch. The emotional aspects of searching for hope and possibly being able to were great. Enjoy. I've it half a dozen times and never skip a scene.

Do not compare this to the original. This is not a sequel...this is a long drawn out boring and trite story with atrocious acting. I am embarrassed for the people involved in this very tedious and very very very long and drawn out story. I love Ryan Gosling, but he was wasted in this role. I love Harrison Ford: did he need the money? Did he not bother to read the entire script? Why did the story need to be almost 3 hours? The original was the original because of the visuals...the haunting score...the director, Ridley Scott ( who never would have directed this story.) I am so sorry I watched this thinking it would at least be interesting. Surprise!

The first galaxy was an interesting, funny, exciting story that took a ragtag bunch of misfits and threw them together in a spectacular movie. Volume 2 was eh.... And Volume 3...? This was pitiful. The humor is missing especially with the incapacitation of one of the funniest characters; the uniqueness of Groot completely absent; Dax no longer "cute"; and Nebula being as wooden as they come. Rocket's backstory is interesting. The ending is nice.... But in between the beginning 12 minutes and the moving finale...boredom...boredom...boredom. Avengers Endgame should have been the end of The Guardians of the Galaxy. James Gunn...good luck with DC.

This was an excellent way to spend an evening with someone you love. Diane Keaton, one of the great actresses of all time was spectacular. The story had me shedding tears, but I was also laughing hard and long at the perfectly placed timing of very funny and very sad moments. The supporting cast was as great as Diane Keaton, many of them with a varied and interesting acting career. The plot line of retirement community women forming their own cheerleader squad was hysterical. The humor was in the delivery of a great and funny script with a straight face. This is a great movie to watch with the people you love.

The concept was not unique, but the details leading to the 3 hour crisis was very original. The CGI was pretty good, up until the final few minutes. I liked most of the characters. And I cried a river during the last 25-30 minutes. And watching this with commercial interruptions was a nightmare. Other than that...a nice idea. Nevertheless, the story could have been compressed into something a LOT shorter then over 3 hours. There was too much time spent on relationships between the main scientist (looking like she was going to a formal event all during the movie;), and the scientist who was a widowed father; too much time spent between the widowed father and his children; too too much time spent either the European scientist and his fiancée; etc. And James Cromwell was wasted except for a few emotional minutes. So if you cut down these interactions, up the CGI quality for the last 20 minutes...you have a masterpiece.

This was a spectacular sci-fi with an amazing twist on the emotional and social evolution of humankind which would be only a few more years in our future. Wesley Snipes absolutely stole the show with a remarkable tongue-in-cheek performance. Sylvester Stallone was good, but he wasn't the brainless killing machine or slap Happy boxer we've seen in previous movies. Watching him try to adapt to a new social and emotional order was hysterical. Sandra Bullock was great, and the numerous other actors, some of whom went on to be stars in their own right, or friendly sidekicks with Stallone. This is a movie I can watch again and again.

It's rare when a sequel is equally as great as it's predecessor (notable exceptions being Godfather Part Two, the original Star Wars trilogy.) But Avatar: The Way of Water is as great as it's predecessor, Avatar. The formula works very well. We are introduced to the next generation of Sullys, each with their own distinct, and sometimes quirky, personality; a new group of N'avi, who are sea dwellers; and some amazing new animals in sea and air, etc. We also have a familiar bad guy, with his loyal and dysfunctional henchmen, stirring the pot and making life difficult and dangerous for everyone. Nevertheless it is an emotionally charged and super exciting adventure, with great actors and acting and a thrilling plot.

Beautiful original afterlife(?) story from Disney and Pixar. The instruments being played are amazingly synced to the characters' fingers. The casting is superb. The actors' and actresses' voices were perfect. But this is not a kids movie. It's very sophisticated:

Just finished the first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi. This is great acting, storytelling, directing, and CGI. The little Leía actress is stupendous. I cannot believe this is the same Ewan McGregor from the painfully absurd and hideously acted Episodes 1-3 of Star Wars. I cannot wait for the next episode.
