Very disappointing
18 November 2023
Cruise is too old to be playing this character any more. The story itself is senseless. The character development is zero. There is a lot of mindless action for the sake of action. Every plot twist is thanks to a coincidence. The main protagonist is just so unbelievably smart that it is actually dumb. So are all the intelligence agencies which don't seem to have any intelligence. Why are people praising this movie? This series is well past its due date and needs to stop. No need for another part. Please spare us the monstrosity. The IMF should be renamed Idiots & Morons Force. I wish I was offered a choice. A choice not to watch this movie.

Jailer (I) (2023)
4/10
Gory violence and brain dead plot
23 September 2023
This is a movie only Rajni fans willl like. And since there are Rajni fans in all states who may be bigger fans of local stars like Mohanlal and Shivrajkumar they have been peppered into the movie with no real reason for them to be a part of it. The plot and character building are non existent except for using torture as a mechanism to show ruthlessness. The acting is terrible from top to bottom. The action sequences over the top. And the comedy mostly falls flat. The only saving grace is the presence of these super stars who don't do much more than present a grandiose charachar that is more in line with their super star status outside the movie and nothing to do with what the script demands. If like movies like Lucifer or Vikram, go for this one. I for one will not go near it with a barge pole.

Heart of Stone (I) (2023)

It should be made illegal to make movies like this
17 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Acting: Terrible Plot: impossible Direction: Pathetic

Why did Netflix make a movie like this. Alia Bhatt cannot act to save her life and she is totally out of her league in the movie. Gal Gadot is wasted. There is no other person the plot really follows. Why. Why did I waste an hour of my life? BTW the movie is longer and I skipped lost of it as it was unbearable.

There a lot of action scenes and people who enjoy mindless action might partly enjoy this movie. But if you want to watch it make sure you have some aspirin handy as you would need it after the head ache the plot line will give you.

Both the movies should never have been made!
24 June 2023
Mani Rathnam has made a series of absolutely forgettable movies that should have never been made in this format in the first place. This story deserves to be told slowly with a lot of character building and the ability for viewers to find out the real history as well. A longer format TV series with at least 10 1.5 hour episodes is what this story needs. The movies have abrupt changes and no continuity. The acting in a lot of places is over the top and at some places excellent but overall due to the way the script is handled, the entire movie falls flat. This is a movie that should not have been made, and for those of you who have not yet seen it, it should not be watched. Unfortunately for me, I can't unsee it.

Beast (II) (2022)

Why do they spend money to make movies like this?
15 May 2022
And why do people waste money on watching? Winter is coming folks, save your money. Avoid stupid movies like this! I tried to sit though the first 15 mins where the beast chops arms, plays cricket with grenades and ends up giving his doctor PTSD. The actual sufferers are the poor audience... I gave up before I suffered too much...

A classic
22 August 2020
You can keep watching the series just for the opening sequence. Wish they continued making animations like this...

Really inspiring movie
16 March 2019
It is difficult to put all the struggles of a nation into a single movie, but there are a few storylines that manage to do that. They may err on the side of drama, but it is the emotion that counts. I think this is one movie that hits the spot perfectly.

The Order (2019–2020)
8/10
It keeps you hooked
13 March 2019
No point trying to look into any rational meaning here but if you let it, the series will keep you engrossed. However if you pry and look for holes, there are plenty to distract you as well...

A lot of hype. Complete let down
31 December 2016
Half way through the movie I have to write this review to warn people tempted by the high ratings on IMDb. I really cannot stand the horrible direction and acting anymore. I generally have low expectations of Kannada movies, but the recent movies by Pawan Kumar made me hopeful as did the high ratings on IMDb. This was a complete let down.

While the plot has potential, the treatment is completely terrible. The actors apart from Anant Nag are at the best amateurs. All around Karnataka, there are good movies being made, wonder why the Kannada film industry is lagging behind. There is a need for the industry to really improve. And if movies like this are given such high ratings I'm not sure how things will improve.
