I loved this. So much better than I expected.
Found Footage done RIGHT.
I think this my be my favorite frankenstein film. 8/10 stars

Bar none: one of the most overrated movies of the decade; if not of all time.
I saw this in theaters, and was unfortunately greatly disappointed.
Forget the fact that this is a superhero’s villain’s origin story.
Realize it for what it really was: the story of one man’s descent into madness.
Now compare it to films that ACTUALLY fit its genre; not super hero films.
Movies like Taxi Driver, The Shining, Black Sawn, Jacob’s Ladder.
Now please tell me this film ranks up to films like THAT.
If you still tell me how its “so original & crazy” I will tell you how you are a liar.
The film lacked substance & depth and instead dwelt in a troubled man’s own infatuation with his own misery.
This was not the Joker by any stretch of the imagination.
Nicholson & Ledger & Hamil’s joker’s were literally JOKER. This was a pale shadow.
It almost seems like to me most people who say they loved this film only are doing so because they think that’s what they are supposed to say; like good little lemmings.
Rather ironic stating the nature of the film & the Joker in general.
IDC What anyone says; I think this is one of the most underrated movies of all time. The plot line was incredibly interesting, the action was absolutely top notch for its time (and even holds up today), and the gadgets..oh the gadgets & tech; it is what is missing in todays films! These ‘ideas’ of things we might have in the future; and this film had boatloads!
I never played the video game; so can’t base any of my judgement off of that comparison. I think it was thoroughly trashed only DUE to it being a VG movie though; anywho, this is a solid 9/10 from me.
This is underrated. It was actually pretty darn good.
However, it is NOT a comedy. This is not your typical Will Ferrell movie.
It’s a rather serious take on a near death experience & the effects it can have on relationships. ( THAT IS NOT A SPOILER! THE SYNOPSIS ABOVE SAYS THE SAME THING IN OTHER WORDS )
An excellent movie. Purefoy does a convincing job of being a Templar. This movie makes it into my top 3 for the genre.
What genre? Sword movies? Middle Ages Movies? Templare Movies? :o so many questions. And what are the other two :o
Watch the South Korean spin on Hansel and Gretel instead. It’s way better then this lukewarm turd of a movie and it is available on this site right now. Go on. You know you want to.
I thought this was fantastic.
It got totally panned by Rotten Tomatoes with a 12%…meanwhile the nearly identical in premise film: The Descent gets a whopping 85%.
Descent which often features complete blackness where you often can’t see what’s happening, actresses who are so talented you’ve never seen them in anything else, “caves” which overall look like the same few tunnels over & over, & creatures that are clearly just humans in masks… compared to THIS masterpiece featuring Queen Cersei Lannister aka Lena Headey, Coyote Ugly’s Piper Perabo, discount Matthew mcconaughey aka Cole Hauser, Morris Chestnut, and other recognizable faces….it features TRULY unique creatures with a cool plotline surrounding where they came from & around the whole discovery of the cave in general; cave systems which all look completely unique from each other; and GOOD LIGHTING.
It completely baffles me how it is even possible that anyone could consider The Descent a better movie than The Cave; let alone consider The Cave a 12% & Descent a 85% (or even on IMDB its 5.1 vs like a 8)
But I digress.
If you havent seen this; go watch it now. If you liked The Descent, you should love this.
I enjoyed it. I’m a anime fan though; so can’t say if everyone would.
The violence was certainly on point.
If your looking for ‘plot’ you could very easily compare it to the 1990s MK movie; as the plotline was VERY similar, it just took a few different twists & turns. (No that is NOT a spoiler)
Pretty darned interesting.
It’s no game of thrones but it’s certainly very well done.
LOTS of recognizable faces too…before they were recognizable; like “Newt” from Fantastic Beasts & Aunt Lysa from GoT; among tons & tons more.
Only 1 episode in but it seems great.
I was wondering the same thing and looked it up. Toque: A toque is a type of hat with a narrow brim or no brim at all. Toques were popular from the 13th to the 16th century in Europe, especially France. The mode was revived in the 1930s. Now it is primarily known as the traditional headgear for professional cooks, except in Canada where the term is primarily used for knit caps.
Okay. So why would a mermaid not wear a toque…or rather…why would anyone be wearing a toque in this day & age if NOT a meraid?
I put this off for a while, as it just didn’t sound that interesting.
However, I found it to be 10x better than I expected; and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
Side note, I’m surprised Hillary Swank isn’t credited on this page…especially since she’s in the cover art.
9/10 stars
Based on the cover art this man is Peter Pan after he left Neverland & grew up & his shadow is up to his old tricks.
Wow. This is SUPER underrated. Definitely not your average space show.
Probably has more in common with a satire like spaceballs than any other thing you can think of, except with a lot more dark(ish) humor.
I’m on epiosde 5 now, and Im loving it.
Hugh Laurie (House MD) is absolutely hilarious, as is the guy from Wedding Ringer.
Personally, I loved this movie.
It wasn’t perfect; but what it tried to do it excelled at.
At first the found footage aspect, with the whole movie being recorded via Google Glass (or supposedly), was a little jarring. But its not shaky, and everything is just as good of quality as any bigger budget film. The CGI near the end was great.
The IMDB rating is ridiculously low. Its a solid 7.
7/10 stars
This movie is one of my favorite movies of all time.
The humor & the action are absolutely one of a kind.
While not as good, the same creator made Shaolin Soccer & its definitely worth the watch if you haven’t seen it.
This was really good.
Very well done movie based on a true story.
Incredibly interesting and everyone played their roles to perfection
9/10
This movie was pure entertainment.
Loved almost every second of it.
9/10 stars
I liked it. It certainly was different.
Lot of dark humor.
7/10 stars
One of the most beautiful fantasy movies I’ve ever seen.
makes me feel like a little girl again every time I watch it.
I truly LOVE this movie.
Have seen it at least 10x, & multiple times in my “kidulthood”
Truly recommended to ALL of you, even you karloff, no matter how old you are. THis is a movie for the young at heart.
Good grief. Truly spectacular. Disneys Robin Hood or Peter Pan type of Amazing…even more so.
One of my favorite anime movies of all time…heck one of my favorite movies of all time. This was the source material for the movie Inception; despite Inceptions writer not giving any credit you can see its a blatant ripoff.
Highly recommend. 10/10 stars.
How was it Jenny?
Nowt was right. It wasn’t an easy watch; but it was definitely very well done. Truly showing the horrors of war.
Definitely well deserving of its high rating.
Well done with a lot of recognizable faces.
Some of the cuts were a bit jarring; all of a sudden from one place to another; but other than that it was very enjoyable.
7/10
Amazingly good movie. Incredibly brutal. Not for the faint of heart, but absolutely worth the watch if you are into these sorts of movies (scarface etc)
1st episode was awesome. Seems like this would make more sense as a movie than a tv show, but I’m with it.
This has excitement and adventure. I loved it.
skipped this the other day; due to no comments & figured the IMDB ratings had a high chance of being overblown due to the old ‘friends of the cast’ ratings before a movie ever comes out.
I’ll risk it now that you say this :)
This is incredibly interesting; but I’m rather liking the crazy tiger king. Didn’t expect that.
I’ve tried to watch this like 5x since it was put on PW.
Its just…SO BORING.
To me, it seriously has no redeeming qualities. No laughs, no action, no interesting story line..
I feel like I could watch two snails involved in a mating ritual for 8 hours and it would hold my interest 100x better than even 5 minutes of this did.
Worst DC movie I’ve ever seen, worst Margot Robie movie I’ve ever seen, good grief. How can I further express how utterly awful this was?
-8 million and 37 out of 10
I personally had no problem with them changing it up & having a female cast.
I was trepid of it; but wanted to give it a fair shot.
Total BOMB.
The main issues were that the jokes & gags were utterly horrible, if you can even call them jokes; and the main problem was the CGI was just TERRIBLE.
I mean, Ghostbusters 1&2 had better CGI over 20 years ago!
Sad to see it end but every season was pure perfection. Probably favorite show of all time. 10/10 s
Hoping Quentin stays dead, his character sucked
Without Quentin Coldwater there would be no Magicians.
The entire premise of the show was built around the ‘deceptive’ trope of a angsty depressed kid becoming the hero; when he NEVER actually was a hero he was just a guy. That’s what make’s Magicians so fantastic. It deals with these fantastical elements but really boils down to flawed people staying flawed.
Your review is very helpful. It’s concise, and you answered all the pre-watch questions I had. Thank you.
Agreed.
I am so happy the ‘new primewire’ doesn’t delete comments for talking about the quality. That is literally the most important thing most viewers want to know!
Ty Jade :)
What was bad about it? I’m waiting for a better quality.
Everything tbh.
It had a throw away storyline; incrdibly cringey character lines; basically no action; no one other than harelquin you recognized; and so on.
It was utterly forgettable. Ive seen a ridiculous amount of super hero movies. Mystery Men with Ben Stiller was 10000x better than this; and that was up until this point one of the shittiest super hero movies Id ever seen.
This was really quite good. I gave up the first time I watched it. It felt creepy with a weird guy in a van vibe that I didnt like at ALL. But, after understanding what it was all about (at about an hour in) it really started to shine & ended up being a darn good movie.
8/10
It was okay. Nothing to write home to mother about, but it was worth the watch.
6/10
people actualy walked out of theaters cause of the violence lol ive seen more violence in a episode of buffy the vampire slayer lol
No one walked out because of the violence.
They walked out because it was boring :l=
I see now episodes 1 and 2 are combined. I appreciate you finding ep 3 even though it says ep 2. Thank you, Mr/Miss Linker.
Heyua Alien or Nogard; have either of you watched the new War of the World series that recently came out? Haven’t heard a peep good or bad about it; if you have seen it, is it worth checking out?
Well this was incredibly interesting & totally out of left field.
I loved it. Like some sort of crazy mix between the movies Annihilation & The Triangle. Very trippy & very well done.
tbh its all MSM at this point. From fox to cnn to abc to trumps o whatever the acronymn is they are all corrupt down to the core.
I’ve lost all faith in the media, as has a good 30-40% of America.
They are a joke pushing whatever is popular to blabber about. Every day its just the same story on the 24 hr news stations. News needs to be like a high school ran news station; new owners & new hosts every 4 years. or something.
Its become George Orwell’s 1984 out here.
A bit overrated I thought.
TBH…it was really rather stupid. 1 time watch for me :o
Oh, and the synopsis has aboslutley 0.0% to do with the actual movie.
Literally nothing at all.
FYI To all: I recommend watching this first: https://www.primewire.li/movie/734184-watch-gantz
This is just a ‘retelling’ of that. https://www.primewire.li/movie/734187-watch-gantz-perfect-answer is the sequel. Both are worth the watch, as the premise is rather unique & crazy if you havent seen the anime.
Side note: https://www.primewire.li/movie/1278256-watch-gantz-o is animated but its done in the style of stuff like Beowulf / FF7 Advent Children (looks real) & is really well done.
Im with you on this one. It is a movie that gets the adventure/action mix right.
Loved this. Feels like what I wanted Misfits Season 3 to be.
10/10 stars
A bit overrated I thought.
TBH…it was really rather stupid. 1 time watch for me :o
Underrated on IMDB. Solid 7 movie with a great cast (Catherine Zeta Jones / Liam Neeson / Owen Wilson & Others)
Not sure what they expected from a ‘cheap scare’ sort of movie, but I digress. I enjoyed it; you probably will too if you haven’t seen it.
I need links. This sounds incredibly interesting…with a 8.2 IMDB rating..and the sickest cover art potentially ever?
Pretty entertaining.
The last 15 minutes or so was rather janky; and the one girls ‘ticks’ were SUPER distracting. Other than that, I enjoyed it. 6/10
