Killer Soup (2024– )

Very good story and storytelling

[9/10 · 31 March 2024]

I loved it, I wasn't sure after looking at the 6 something IMDB rating but I am happy that I ended up watching it anyway. Well crafted scenes, plot, characters. This show was very very well made.

I do however regret the writers need for appreciation of the brilliance of plot that he felt was suffocating in secrecy that needed to come out in the open for everybody to know but it really didn't.

It was a perfect crime spoiled by the need for appreciation. Nevertheless, the ending is yet not as bad as some have suggested it is here on IMDB but I do agree with them that the cat had no business coming out of the hat.

Argylle (2024)

I genuinely don't understand the hate

[9/10 · 9 March 2024]

I'm actually very into movies especially when it comes to spy movies and althy This was not as good as Kingsman but it was not too far from it either, Kingsman worked because it did what the 80s and 90s spy movies did... Impossible scripts but with a lot of flare, Argyle is exactly the same, I had a lot of fun watching it, I'll probably watch it again after some time... This movie for me has a good rewatch value just like Kingsman. I'm honestly amazed at the ratings nowadays, bad movies getting good ratings and good movies getting bad ratings... Are these Gen Zs doing this... What in the world is going on!!??

Jaane Jaan (2023)

Tricked me into thinking this was going to be a perfect crime movie

[2/10 · 21 September 2023]

This movie disguised itself to make it look like a perfect crime movie like the "Drishyam" movies only to have the teacher take the fall for it in the end.... ??? Why, so that he has enough time to solve a math problem? Prison isn't that easy or private for god's sake, you think you could just sit all day in prison and solve your maths problem while they feed you and bathe you, and no one bothers you??? What a waste of my time.. all the A=B=C therefore A must be C nonsense and calling Naren, The Teacher, a Mathematical genius who practices Jujitsu and stuff... for what, just to take the fall for it, why lengthen it so much then.. just take the fall, move the body into Naren's room, exchange the heating rod, smash the hands or heck, burn the body there, act crazy, call the cops.. done... why waste our 2+ hours...

Once Upon a Crime (2023)

It started of quirky and fun but then

[4/10 · 16 September 2023]

It started of quirky and fun but then the ending ruined it all, poor Cinderella who had been bullied her entire life who after a false promise of hope in self defense accidentally offs a dude (the framing her sister is so not Cinderella like) and then she goes to prison?? Poor frickin Cinderella, can she not catch a break.... and here I was looking at the ratings thinking, arghhh today's audience are so hard to please, I mean in the beginning it wasn't amazing but it was ok fun and then bammm, Cinderella you poor thing, go to prison... do no harm your whole life, only misfortunes after misfortunes for you and still no light at the end of the tunnel for you, it's better to be evil then good according to this movie.... jeeezzzzzuuuss!!!

Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight (2022–2023)

By the end of it, I was sad that it was over

[8/10 · 13 September 2023]

All the other reviews are correct too, I didn't start watching this series because I wanted to but because I had nothing else to watch and yes the animation is of lower quality, the first season kind of feels like okay-ish, Po seems weak and the Villains have no strength but if you manage to push through to the 2nd season and then the 3rd, the Villain (I don't want to name them to avoid any spoilers) shows a strong character and the adventures kind of start gripping you, you kind of start admiring the team and by the end of it, I was sad it was over, this was a lot of fun and I wish they had invested a little more into this series.

Ghoul (2018)

What is going on with these ratings???

[2/10 · 2 September 2023]

What is up with the reviews war going on here!!?? This was a really really good concept made horribly, even at 1.5X speed, I was bored. The 1st episode was stretched so long it was almost ridiculous... The premise, the patriotic naivety of the lead, the betrayal, the corruption, the concept of ghul, and the ultimate revenge, this was a very good concept but it was definitely not a very good execution. The naivety was almost childish, the corruption wasn't well shown, the ultimate revenge wasn't ultimate. This wasn't supposed to be 3 episodes long, this was supposed to be a movie, I was thoroughly disappointed.

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead (2023)

I don't understand how the Japanese can keep getting away with these cringey movies

[2/10 · 9 August 2023]

At first I thought, hey maybe I made a mistake, I thought it was for adults but they probably made it for children seeing how absolutely ridiculous it was and didn't want to post a review and then I remembered, hey this had some nasty man eating scenes for a kids movie and then I remembered, it had scenes with full blown tits..... This cringefest was actually made for adults, what the actual .... how do the Japanese keep getting away with this cringe stuff? Why does IMDB need me to write so much to post one simple review, oh my god, I still have characters left, finish already, I'm done for the love of... Ok bye!

Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway (2023)

The reviews here show that most Indians are not FIT parents

[2/10 · 13 May 2023]

The husband beats the wife until he breaks her arm and is shown throughout and throughout to be an unfit husband and therefore an unfit parent ( a man who can not respect the mother of his children can not teach respect, love sympathy and empathy to their children)

The mother who does not see that the father of their children who beats the mother will inevitably one day beat their children and can not teach them respect and honor and won't leave the husband to provide better environment for the children is an unfit mother

The movie is purely emotional with zero rationality, it actually portrays the Norwegian child welfare system to be the good guys (which they are not).

Too many times have I seen such husbands in our country and dare any of you tell me that they are better parents... The mother is wrong for not standing up for her children, it's as simple as that.

Badhaai Do (2022)

My 10 stars is not for the subject alone

[10/10 · 12 March 2022]

This one was an actually a really really well made movie and I am surprised at some "flaws" that some reviewers have pointed out.. I usually watch movies at 1.25x speed, I'm used to it but this one, I watched at a normal speed and the scenes in this movie were so well made, so realistic, the romance, the fear the freedom.. I could feel it myself and I can not, I do not see the flaws everyone else seems to see.. this movie was perfect in every sense.. loved it!

The Unforgivable (2021)

LISTEN TO ME - WATCH THIS MOVIE!

[9/10 · 18 February 2022]

The movie may overall feel like a boring drama but the ending will change your entire experience! Trust me, this is a really good watch! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Bhoot Police (2021)

I loved it!

[9/10 · 18 September 2021]

I hope they make a sequel and then some... it was a very well made horror comedy with the perfect everything.

Till Death (I) (2021)

6 because I enjoyed it - and the flaws - let's take a look at it

[6/10 · 22 August 2021]

1st flaw people have pointed out, how'd she get the shirt off the husband - valid point but just a silly mistake is all - the 2nd flaw someone point out is why you wouldn't break a glass vase to cut they guy's arm off - did no one see all the glass frames all over the house - break a glass, cut the arm off - that bit was silly and it irritated me too but all in all, it was a fun mindless one time flick and the flaws weren't so horrible to have ruined the movie experience.

A Quiet Place Part II (2020)

What is with these ratings?

[1/10 · 28 June 2021]

If A Quiet Place 1 wasn't stupid enough for you, don't worry - the sequel is sure to fill your void. And I don't understand these ratings - I love a dumb but fun movie too but this was neither.

Babysitter Must Die (2020)

I Wonder

[1/10 · 24 June 2021]

Out of every person involved in this movie, did no one say anything about how bad this is.

The Misfits (2021)

I've watched some ridiculous movies but this movie is the first I couldn't finish

[1/10 · 18 June 2021]

It's sooo bad, unlike others, I'm actually going to encourage you to watch this movie so that you can know what torture feels like.

Infinite (2021)

This could've been the next "Matrix"

[5/10 · 12 June 2021]

I'd have given this movie a 7 for a genericaction moviebut I'm just so pissedat the lost potential of the concept.

Burnt (I) (2015)

Some hated this, some loved it - different reasons for all - but what did it for me

[9/10 · 8 June 2021]

Is the passion, I loved every bit of it, went straight to the heart. 3 Michelin stars from me.

Spiral (2021)

It's no "Saw" movie, but Samuel's 72 and Chris is 56

[5/10 · 2 June 2021]

Blew my mind, Movie's ok by the way, very predictable but I won't lie, when I saw how old Samuel L Jackson was, I could not believe it!

Cruella (2021)

Why are there any negative reviews?

[9/10 · 28 May 2021]

I get it that many may not have liked the style but anyone who thinks this movie deserves anything below 6 stars is out of their minds.

Wrath of Man (2021)

This is a Guy Ritchie movie

[8/10 · 26 May 2021]

This is a Guy Ritchie movie. He's got a style of his own, some like it, some don't - I loved it so if you know Guy Ritchie movies, ignore the bad reviews. This one's really good!

Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar (2021)

An example of what Bollywood THINKS good, quality movies are

[3/10 · 23 May 2021]

Good content, exhausting screenplay, more so towards the end of it. I wanted to get it don and over with really, didn't like it.

Run (I) (2020)

Look - I don't what with a few of these comments but this movie was INTENSE!

[8/10 · 24 November 2020]

Some said this movie was predictable but most movies are - this wasn't just about the suspense, it was the game of hide and seek an it was really good. Not one moment was slow, this movie deserved better ratings

Terrified (2017)

This was the most amazing horror movie ever!!

[9/10 · 19 November 2020]

How this movie has a 6.5 on IMDB is beyond me, I am a huge horror fanatic and this movie will be one of my top 5 recommendations. If you love horror, you must watch this movie!

Enola Holmes (2020)

I loved it!

[9/10 · 30 September 2020]

Watch it and make up your own mind, people here are way too torn about it. NO, it wasn't dull nor was it disappointing and there is nothing to better, it's good just the way it is

JL50 (2020– )

8/10 STORY & CONCEPT 3/10 DIRECTION &EXECUTION

[5/10 · 7 September 2020]

Shailender Vyas wrote very well and somehow got together a very talented team of actors but failed miserably on execution and screenplay. Had the execution gone well, this could have very well been a boundary breaking Indian Series
