Thus movie is full of all the qualities that make for a terrible movie: low budget, bad acting, unrealistic characters, boring and predictable plot, etc.

It has a decent buildup before it becomes a painfully slow crawl to get to the point. I think I would have liked this a little more if it turned out there was no monster. I don't know. Maybe.

I think it's scary enough at times where it wants to he, but that's often ruined by cheesy graphics and sound effects, not to mention the highly unlikable main characters behaving unrealistically in a situation that should terrify any normal humans into running for the hills.

Overall, 4 stars for effort, because I felt like being generous.

The first half of this series is really good, and the second half is borderline terrible. The music is nostalgia food, but not at all fitting for a show about apocalyptic car battles, and speaking of: where were the car battles? We get maybe a total of 20 minutes (and I think that's generous) of actual car battles combined through 10 episodes. That's an average of 2 minutes of Twisted Metal per episode. The rest is a mix of romance and low bar comedy (mostly sex jokes). Don't get me wrong, if you go into this show with the hopes to see goofy fun, you get plenty of that, but I see way too many reviews here talking about how it's so much like the games, and I have to know what games they played, because it surely wasn't Twisted Metal. The show doesn't take itself seriously, so you shouldn't take it seriously either, but it would have been nice to have some actual action in this thing. Oh, and all the characters are wrong. They got all the Outlaws way wrong and did them no respect. First you have Agent Stone being a bad cop when he was a hero in the game TM: Black, and then you have the Outlaws from 1&2 tossed aside as side characters and they're killed off in Shadow's hearse? Okay? Also, a hatchet to the jaw is now a fatal wound, but a shot through Flower Power's neck is not? Mike and Stu never become Hammerhead. Mr. Slam was demoted to a sexual watermelon-smash joke, and we never get to see his vehicle. All these apocalyptic survivors don't seem like the surviving type. It's a lot of stupid, but if you separate this universe from Twisted Metal, it's not a bad show for what it is. Oh, and Sweet Tooth carries this thing. Like, I worry about Sweet Tooth's back. I hope he's okay.

I was expecting garbage. I almost didn't even take a chance on this movie but I'm glad I did. I watched it twice and will probably see it again sometime before the year is over. I don't want to spoil anything, but I hope the trailers don't show all the best parts. It's hilarious. Its charming. It's epic. It's so true to the source material I'm convinced this is based on a real life D&D campaign.

It is predictable, sure, but certainly not in a bad way, as I think the story goes exactly where it needs to, and that happens to be where it was expected to go. I see a lot of comparisons to Guardians of the Galaxy, which is fair, but this movie is what the Marvel movies wish they could be. Highly recommended.

Sunk-Cost Fallacy: the phenomenon whereby a person is reluctant to abandon a strategy or course of action because they have invested heavily in it, even when it is clear that abandonment would be more beneficial.

In this case, we've sunk so much of our time into this show that we couldn't let it die without us keeping it on life support. Unfortunately, the show's been clinically brain dead for at least 3 seasons now, if not longer.

This show used to be close to a masterpiece, with season one gripping an entire audience immediately from the jump. Each season regressed a little at a time, but the writing really fell off a cliff starting when Negan killed the cameraman. From that point on, outside a couple exceptional episodes and moments, this show has become some of the worst television imaginable.

This 1-star review is directed at the entire season. We don't ever feel afraid. Ever. We don't expect to lose any meaningful characters (and we don't) except for one, finally, in the final episode, and who do you think they had the guts to kill off? Do you think it could be someone as beloved as Daryl? No. Carol? No. Maggie? No. Judith? No. Even Negan (who deserves it)? Nope.

Get ready for it (drum roll)

It was Rosita.

I know. You're really invested in Rosita, I'm sure. Me too. She's got a huge fanbase. She's super popular. She was the glue holding the whole show together. How can we possibly recover from this loss?

All sarcasm aside, I'm happy it's over. I'll always have fond memories of the early seasons and the comics too, although the comics also went downhill in a similar fashion, but at least the comics had the guts to kill characters the readers cared about all the way up until the end.

Final Grades:

Season One: A+ Season Two: A Season Three: A- Season Four: B+ Season Five: B Season Six: B- Season Seven: C+ Season Eight: C Season Nine: C- Season Ten: D+ Season Eleven: D (for Dead)

It does not get any better than this. The entire movie, from beginning to end, is a masterpiece. From the Oscar-worthy performances, to the incredibly realistic set pieces, and a sound design that would make a Greek muse blush with envy, this movie has everything to keep the most staunch of film critics entertained.

Whether you want to laugh, whether you want to scream, or whether you want to cry, this movie will pack the emotions for you and deliver them, whether you are ready or not. It is also a fun ride for the whole family: bring grandma and the grandkids to the show. Even the family dog will get in on this excitement!

What to say that has not been said? I do not want to spoil the fun, so I will end it here. By not watching this movie, you are doing a disservice to yourself, your mother, and your country.

~FIN~

This episode felt like a detour if I'm being honest. It was fine for what it was, and as a stand-alone episode, it's good, but we just had two episodes submerge us into the world of Joel and Ellie just to take a hard left turn that focused on two different characters that won't even be in the series beyond this point: these two characters being Bill and Frank. Bill, at least, should have had more episodes coming, in my opinion, which adds to my point this episode felt like a detour from the characters we will actually spend real quality time with throughout the series. I hope the show can get back to focusing on the main plot, because too many episodes like this one, and TLOU might just become TWD.

Incredible! I was extremely skeptical going in as I've seen far too many VG adaptations being butchered on the big and small screen, but this one was done as close to perfectly as I could reasonably expect. Outside some questionable casting choices for some characters, which were still well portrayed despite this, there was nothing I could find that indicated, in any way, the writers didn't care passionately about the source material. Also, I'm leaving this review for episode 1 after watching both 1 & 2, and they're both 10/10. Hopefully, this show stays the course and doesn't become the next Walking Dead.

... but not sure why. I was never a big fan of the other ones, and I only kinda like the first one. I guess I figured the bar was low enough at this point that there was no way this movie couldn't clear it.

WELL, how wrong was I? I am convinced this movie was made last minute, off the cuff, by a group of writers who were stoned and drunk off their minds.

The opening scene is promising enough. Our victim even survives, which I thought was an interesting turn in the lore where the first victim always dies. That is the only reason I handed this one-star movie an additional star. Good job: mix it up a little.

Then, we are introduced to the most unlikable characters ever portrayed in a slasher flick (news flash: a movie isn't scary if you're rooting for the killer). These characters aren't just unlikable, but they're mostly badly acted, and whoever wrote their dialogue: please find another line of work.

Once our original trio show up (Sid, Dewey and Gale) we finally have the only likable characters, and don't worry: they're going to next to nothing for screen time until the final act. Also, if you don't know anything about them, this movie doesn't do much to explain their history to newcomers.

These characters who have survived the Ghostface killings a few times before will go on to make the dumbest, out-of-character decisions you would expect from writers who are drunk and high. These dumb decisions even cost one of them their life.

Skip it.

This really hit home for me on a personal level. I never thought the sleazy politician would be the character I'd relate to most. I love when characters aren't 2D in shows like this. America should take notes.

I don't like politics being shoe-horned into comedy either, but I don't think it was as bad as some reviewers here make it seem. The comedy was more topical than preachy, and it really didn't cater to either side of the aisle. Both sides of the political spectrum were made fun of in this season. They MAYBE got a little bit preachy about the vaccine in this last episode, but I'm willing to forgive that due to the gut-busting comedy throughout the season, and one hell of an emotional performance by Charlie Day in the season finale that actually brought me to tears. Also, people have complained that Charlie got too smart in this season, but I think that's a massive improvement to his character, and he closely resembles the Charlie we got to know in seasons 1-3 rather than the Peter Griffin-esk version of him in the later seasons that make you wonder how much lower they can bring the bar. That being said, I absolutely loved this episode and this season is probably the best they've done in a long time.

It's absolutely 100 percent a left wing propaganda film, but I still thought it was good. You don't have to agree to find the value in just enjoying a movie for what it is. I lean right and voted for the orange guy, but I still really enjoyed this movie.

Yeah the comet is a metaphor for global warming, and some might even see the connections to COVID as well, but once you get past the blatant propaganda, the movie is both funny and terrifying at times.

Too woke and uninteresting. Terrible acting. Terrible writing. My first impression of the show and thanks to this episode, I will not be watching anything else from them. Also, this has NOTHING to do with classic Two Sentence Horror Stories...at all.

This is the scariest movie I've seen in a long time since Train To Busan, but unlike that movie, this scenario can actually happen, and I'm kind of surprised, though extremely grateful, a school shooting like this hasn't yet taken place in reality. I understand why it's not available everywhere (I watched it on YouTube), because nobody would want any sick person to try to imitate this.

This show is stupid but in a good way, and this episode has one of my favorite props I've ever seen.

South Park is my favorite show of all time, and I even really enjoyed the last few seasons, except for most of the Tegridy Farms stuff. I loved the member berries, PC Principle, and Mr. Garrison becoming President Trump, unlike a lot of reviewers who say the quality of the show has diminished. That being said...what was this? This episode was beyond chaotic, and it was as if Matt and Trey threw it together right before it was due to air. Now, in all honesty, there were a couple parts that made me laugh, like Jimbo getting a mustache and when the cops shot Token (even though I'm not a believer in cops shooting black people based on the color of their skin). Those were really the only funny parts of this episode. Also, are they trying to get us to hate Randy? The whole Tegridy Farms subplot has to go away, because it's killing South Park. Now, I don't actually think the episode is a 1 out of 10 (really more like a 5 out of 10) but it most certainly is not a 9.6, so I'm helping to reduce the rating.

This movie is incredible in just about every way it can be, and I don't know why it's rated only at a 5.4 on IMDB. The movie dives deep into the cruel reality of dog fighting, and maybe that's why people rate it low, but people shouldn't rate a movie based on their hurt feelings, but rather the quality of the film. This film delivers from the acting, to the overall story, to the character build up (which is a quality lacking in too many films these days). This movie also has the saddest scenes I've seen in forever. I don't cry over movies, and this movie made me cry twice. Also, it can be terrifying in parts as well. Give this a watch, even if you have a tough time watching animal violence (like me). The only reason it's a 9/10 instead of a 10/10 is because I don't understand what the title "Bullet Head" has to do with the film.

That's all. Review is in the title. The movie is good, REALLY GOOD but I can see why it's not rated highly. The ending is so unbelievable and idiotic this movie that otherwise would have been a solid 8.5 or 9 gets reduced to a 6 (really 5.5).

This is a documentary style 3 episode series about the man infamous for the gory online video titled "1 lunatic 1 icepick" which I saw years ago, but I didn't immediately put together who this documentary was about until I saw clips from the vacuum seal kittens, which I knew all about but never watched. This documentary is well done in a way that keeps you wondering what clue will pop up next, and leaves you wondering how exactly does this guy get caught. The only issues I have with this series is the footage of the dead kittens. Yes, they show it to you (not the killing of the cats, just the bodies). I feel like that was too much and we could have done without the images. Also, they show the dead puppy later on. They, however, do not show the human murder, except for some blurred out images. Also, the last 30 seconds or so of the series has a 4th wall break where the woman who tracked the killer for 18 months decides to talk to us (the viewers) and relay a cringey message about how we might be complicit in inspiring monsters like the ice pick killer by feeding them the attention they crave, or whatever, and that was completely unnecessary, but besides that the whole series was very well done.

I thought I knew everything there was to be said, and I knew I would be largely in agreement with the speakers in this film, but there was so much more presented that I did not know, and this film was such an eye-opener for myself, and I suspect it will be even to those who already know a lot about the politics behind the film.

This is a similar concept to movies like The Belko Experiment and The Cube, maybe even somewhat like The Platform as well (all of which are good movies) except this one inserts WAY TOO MUCH political commentary in nearly every word, and its left leaning messages are extremely heavy handed to the point my eyes may have left permanent marks in the back of my skull from rolling back in my head so hard and so often. I give it a couple points for originality, and I am only doing that because I feel generous. Also, side note: if you want the audience to be on the edge of their seat, you need likeable characters so the audience can worry about them. Also, the acting is terrible.

The host is obnoxious and cares more about making fun of the people in the documentary than actually engaging in any meaningful interview whatsoever.

Fans of the original along with newcomers will be blown away by the story, scenery, music, and game play. There are things like some background rendering that can be touched up a little bit, but that's not enough for me to dock any points from a perfect scoring game. The only thing I would say is if you're a newcomer or not an avid FFVII fan like myself, then you can save $20-$30 and get the standard edition, and that is more than enough content to please anybody.

This episode is heartbreaking in many ways, but the acting and directing got me feeling bad and scared for Wendy and Ben (2 characters I don't even like). If they can make me feel that way for characters I do not like, then imagine the anxiety that the show writers can create when the show involves its best characters.

Side note: Seriously people, get off Breaking Bad's nuts. Breaking Bad was a fantastic show, but 90 percent of negative reviews about Ozark come from Breaking Bad fanboys and fangirls who think Breaking Bad is the only show of its kind allowed. Knock it off.

This movie did what I have not seen many, if any, American or British-made zombie movies even try, and that's tell a believable, frightening, and tear-jerking story that will keep you interested all the way to the end. The only other zombie movie I enjoyed as much as this one is of a completely different genre, and that's Shaun of the Dead (a British comedy).

This movie had characters you loved and hated. This movie had a situation that was believable under those circumstances. This movie had actually scary zombies and situations that did not rely on cheap jumpscares to frighten viewers. This movie also had emotion, enough to make a grown man need a box of tissues by the end, and no I'm not talking about for the hot cheerleader girl.

Absolutely take a chance on this movie! The whole movie is Korean audio and English sub, which normally I don't enjoy, because I don't like to read my movies, but you will quickly forget you're reading subtitles after a short while because the story keeps you hooked.

This game has a decent premise and amusing characters, but the game on normal difficulty is a bit of a snooze, and as far as I can tell there is no changing the difficulty mid game. Also, WAY too much unnecessary reading. Pointless dialogue irrelevant to the main story can drag on for a long time, and before you know it, you'll be wanting to hit skip so much your thumb will get sore. Others complain about the story and the way kids are handled, and I'm not sure what they were expecting when they decided to play a game where children actively try to commit adult genocide, but whatever.
