This story completely failed to capture my attention, which is no great surprise since the Pentagon Papers have failed to capture my attention for decades now. And if the Pentagon Papers don't excite me, what effect could a story about people writing a story have on me? I have never understood why anybody ever makes any character in any movie or show a writer, because I can't think of anything less interesting than watching somebody write. I'd rather watch people play poker on TV. There's more action in card games than word processing.

Then there's Meryl. Something else I have never encountered in this life is a movie with Meryl Streep that doesn't put me to sleep faster than NyQuil. I knew going in this movie would move the speed of continental drift, and I don't feel like I was in the slightest bit wrong. It's another movie for award season and people who had their personalities shot off in the war. If you enjoy staring at walls, you'll love this movie. If you bore easily like all interesting people do it will make you want to dig a hole and bury yourself in the middle of the theater.

'The Gathering Storm' and 'Into the Storm' are far superior movies to this. They're worth watching, but this stinker isn't unless you need motivation to kill yourself. The worst part of any biographical movie is how no production seems able to avoid dwelling obsessively on the darker, sadder parts of a life. This movie does nothing but that. Churchill is a pathetic, sad fool from start to finish, and even if that were true in real life, I wouldn't want to see it. The only thing more annoying than what a clown Churchill is in this movie is what a pure saint his wife is. The entire thing lacks ingenuity, and I don't see any reason why the film was made in the first place. Nothing is interesting, nothing is enjoyable. It's all just a sad flop.

Acting was fine, but who cares when the movie stinks?

Humans do not use only 10% of their brains. If you suffer an injury to any part of your brain, you will suffer some debilitation. We use 100% of our brains and one of the dumbest science myths ever is the entire plot of this movie. That's just pathetic, and I can't sit through total garbage like that. If the writer had any knowledge of anything whatsoever, he/she could have created a plausible story, but instead we get a multi-million dollar production with the intelligence of a 5th grader. This embarrasses me as an American.

I know absolutely nothing about this story beyond what I saw in the film. I don't read comics, I don't watch cartoons and I honestly don't even know where the story comes from. All I know is that it was a well-made movie with good acting and I sincerely enjoyed the concept. I won't enjoy a film if the concept is too far-fetched, and I liked this one.

I was really enjoying the Daniel Craig Bond movies until this one came out. In all honesty, I can't remember anything about the film whatsoever, except that I absolutely despised it. I did not watch the entire thing, and that makes Spectre the ONLY Bond movie I gave up on throughout the entire series, from Whatshisname to Connery to Moore to Dalton, Brosnon and Craig. This movie will disappoint like no other in a collection of over 20 films. I came back to rate it because I see it's a 6.8 right now, and that is hugely misleading. Kids who haven't seen any other Bond movies may like it, but that's the only demographic that will. It absolutely sucks!

This is one of the best comedies you will ever see. I'm only writing this in case anybody who hasn't seen this movie is reading reviews, because I want to tell you that you're a fool for having missed this until now. It's not just the best hockey movie ever, it's a classic 70's comedy, up there with Animal House and The Bad News Bears. Don't even debate it, just watch it.

I admit, I'm writing this after watching 17:30 of the first episode. It is highly unlikely I will ever see more.

Seventeen minutes and thirty seconds should be enough to introduce at least one tolerable character, but Dick flopped on that one. After this long, I've seen maybe the best collection of unlikable characters I ever encountered, and Kathryn Whateverhernameis takes the cake in the annoying category. Whatever she was trying is a monumental fail. If you and someone like this character were in the same restaurant, you'd leave hungry rather than listen to her. You might even move out of town, it's that bad. Her husband is the most stereotypical, annoying New Yorker the Amazon writers could come up with, and then there's the earthy redhead with armpit hair who lives in the artists' colony and talks about her trip to Fiji. Ugh! Yeah, I decided while writing this that I'm done with Dick for good. I've had all I can take. Another Amazon stinker goes in the Prime toilet, partially watched and then despised forever. On to the next piece of garbage they release.

The aliens look like little cartoons and the crew keeps splitting up to go investigate. On an alien planet, whoever is in charge keeps telling everybody to split up individually and meet back in 15 minutes. They each go separate ways and discover some clue, just like Scooby's crew. Obviously, they die one-by-one. It's really dumb. I put this Alien release down there with Aliens 3. It's a lost episode.

The jokes are just bad, the acting is worse. I didn't stay past the middle.

I think this is the last chance I give Amy Schumer.

As for Goldie, her face is just impossible to look at for very long. She should sue her plastic surgeon.

How can such a great actor become such a joke? Nick Cage didn't even fall this far. The director of this film ought to be hung by his testicles. He can't even form a single interesting scene. he must be the most boring person in the world, and his movie puts his personality on display. This was total garbage, about as bad as a Deniro movie can be.

If you took every decent scene out of every romcom from the 80's and 90's and tried to group them together into some incoherent 90 minute commercial, you would get Trainwreck.

Nothing in this film is original except for the fact that there's an ugly, fat woman starring in a romcom. It's a little hard to get caught up in a love story involving a pig-faced moron, but they gave it a shot and failed miserably.

Scores are inflated, this thing deserves a 3.0 like her other work.

I have to review this movie because it might be the worst movie ever. In fact, just as I was thinking that it may have topped Howard the Duck in that category, Howard made a cameo! No joke, he's in this movie, but he plays no part so this is no spoiler. He's just hanging out.

Within the first 30 seconds of the movie, it became painful to watch. The lackluster banter between characters reminded me of a bad Seinfeld episode. Within a minute of the film, I was wondering if it might be the biggest loser ever. In all honesty, I don't know because I left about 45 minutes in. All I know for sure is that I was completely disappointed, especially because I loved the fist Guardians so much.

This is just cashing in, and the writing is absolute trash. There is no way this movie will maintain a score over 6.0 in the long run. If you were extremely eager to see it like I was, change that frame of mind and forget this movie. Maybe then when it hits cable you'll be able to enjoy a few scenes in it as if they were outtakes from the first. Lower your expectations to their lowest possible point, and you might get a chuckle. Go in expecting a movie like the original and you're going to be upset.

I'm giving this special a 9, not a 10, because I'm leaving Dave room to improve. I honestly can't find flaw with this performance, but watching it made me feel like there's still more to come, and it will be even better. If I give this a 10 and he puts out a better set, what then?

Of the two Netflix sets out so far (this and 'Age of Spin'), I liked this one slightly more, but the difference isn't much. They're both really good.

Without spoiling anything, what you get here is a new Dave Chappelle that retains all the qualities of the old one. His comedy is very much still 'Chappelle' material, whatever that means, but with longer sets he has a chance to make a few statements and show his intelligence as well. Don't worry, though, he doesn't sacrifice laughs to make points or badger you with political views. He simply mixes it up a bit more, uses his time wisely and capitalizes on the opportunity to deliver a much more intimate set than anything he's produced before now.

It's Dave Chappelle as good as ever, back with new material. If IMDb let me, that's all I would have written. If you like great comedy sets, you'll like this.

Update: IMDb is on the take. Just look at the reviews and do a little math. If the scores were legit, this would be a 1.8. Trust me, I have a bachelor's in math, I calculated it. IMDb lies, probably because Any paid them to keep her at 3.0. It's under 2 in reality, and that's where it ought to be.

Original post: It's not often you get to witness the total self-destruction of a career, but what you get in this special and all the surrounding hoopla is exactly that. Any Schumer isn't simply imploding right now, she's reaping what she sowed for so long and refusing to accept it, which makes the catastrophe even worse for her and more entertaining for us.

Her entire career has been nothing but a shortsighted rush to sell as much as possible as fast as possible, which has brought her to the brink of overexposure and completely exhausted her of material at the same time.

She could have done what so many other comedians have when their audience has slipped away and slipped away herself, most ideally unnoticed. Not Amy Schumer. She blamed Reddit and the Nazis and Trump, and she put herself out there as a victim without thinking about what that means for her stand-up career. It means it's over, and we won't see Amy Schumer until she reemerges in some other forum.

I never enjoyed her comedy in the first place, so her downfall is the only decent show she's ever put on as far as I'm concerned, and it's a million times better than the Leather Special, which I didn't mention much because it's completely void of any ingenuity whatsoever. It is no more than her usual shtick, without any new twists whatsoever. It isn't any worse than her usual, it's the context that warrants my rating. There should be something special about a 'special' and this is the opposite. It's a last-ditch effort to cash in on old material, and in comedy recycling tired jokes is hardly good enough for stage time on a Mexican cruise line, much less a TV special. This is like watching a comedian on a Mexican cruise... while it sinks. The show is all on Twitter and in the news, but it's well worth watching. I give Amy Schumer's downfall five stars, but the Leather Special gets one.
