Absolutely fantastic! Farcical, satirical, equal parts timely and relevant yet at the same time far fetched - this is one for my forever collection.

Ok, I freaking loved this. Tudyk is uniquely qualified to play a weird character, and he nails it as the sometimes sinister, sometimes charming, always hilarious Resident Alien.
I can’t name 5 of her songs, but anyone who can enrage fragile broflakes by simply being on screen in a sportsball game for 20 seconds, has my respect.
i wholeheartedly aggree
this is required viewing for evry european
its shocking in concept but i think its done in a way that all school children should have access to.
This must not reoccur
Europeans are already well aware of it. We’ve had school outings to Auschwitz to get a guided tour in painstaking detail of the horrors that happened there before even hitting the teens - of what happens when far right wing politics, fascism, is left unfettered. The end result of an elected leader who alienated allied nations, spoke of walls, promised to solve all the problems and then blamed such on minorities. Who stoked fear, hatred and division within his own nation.
That kind of history is already repeating.
Jenkins herself said he was based on Trump.
What Jenkins said:
“[Donald Trump is] one of [the inspirations],” Jenkins explains, although she stressed that it is not meant to be a political statement. “The funny thing is like, he is [an influence], but I’m not trying to make [a point]. Even we have the president in this movie, and I’ve gone out of my way not to make it look like Ronald Reagan. I don’t want to get political. It’s not about political. Actually, a huge influence of this movie was also Madoff. And so what I was looking at was, those young Madoff story [sic] fascinates me, because I’m like, ‘How do you end up being Bernie Madoff?’”
I’ll take huge influence over “one of” , and as we saw on screen, it certainly fit her statement.
The season finale delivered. Thrills! Chills! Spills! And an open ending to boot! Just fantastically done, well paced and left us wanting more.
10/10
Those CGI wolves remind me of some CGI from 90s shows like Xena, and Hercules.
If that’s the look they’re trying for in 2021, well - it’s a bold move.
except the result is the show playing ONLY to an audience it already has.i don’t want a half hour show, billing itself as a sitcom, to have ‘epic’ anything. i want it to be a nice, ably-crafted diversion for 22 minutes. not yet another navel gazing feature in a market already glutted with them.
Just means you’re not the target demographic. This is a single cohesive narrative that starts off subverting expectations, but it really is right after a 20 film long tale. Picks up where that stopped. It’s for those fans. It was not and never was going to be just a sitcom where you could watch them in random order and not miss anything.
Everyone (including me) hopes/thinks/prays this will be an awesome series that it already has 4 stars and it hasn’t even aired yet. lol
Seeing as how I really liked Anson Mount’s Captain Pike in Star Trek Discovery, I’m expecting this to be awesome =)
Thank you, exactly the kind of review I needed to know that I’ll wait a bit longer.
Well, 2 things….first, the girl that played the scientist chic with the glasses in this episode really made this one for me, she was great in this.Hope we get to see more of her, really just liked her for some reason!
Second thing, there can be no doubt at this point that Wanda has seriously done went and lost her shit…
I’m glad they brought her back instead of recasting her - her last time playing the role was in Thor : The Dark World, and that’s just sad.
Going to be interesting to see how this plays out given the onslaught of legal issues Miller is accumulating.
I’m expecting DC to just introduce the other Flash, Wally West, as their main one later.
No more Barry Allen.
at first i was like all whaaaaaa? then I understood that its a good movie for the guys but im still like, whaaaaa? damn!
Woman here.. enjoyed it. You can tell when an actor is used to working with directors - in this case, it’s made by the Russo brothers, same people who directed The Avengers. They played to Hemsworth’s strength, being believably physical in his roles - pretty sure it was written for him.
Just saw an NPR review of this claiming “It’s too much like The Daily Show” as were that some kind of negative.
That alone was reason to log in and actually look for this.
The Epstein Trump barred from Mar-a-Lago? No, Only Slick Willy visited Epstein’s Island 26 times and he’s probably fapping to this movie right now.
You mean the same Trump who we now know was on many of Epstein’s flight logs in 1997? And the one we see in hundreds of pictures with him? And named as co defendant alongside Trump in various trials that were settled out of court?
That one?
wrong, he cut ties as soon as he knew EP was shady, stop listening to buzzBS
Cut ties? So the pictures of him with known sex trafficking madam Ghislaine Maxwell from the 90s, through the 2000s, and his even wishing her well just a few weeks ago - that is all BS? Stop drinking the damn kool aid. If most of your friends and colleagues are criminals, odds are high you’re one too.
I dont know if I should watch this show or wait for the next one where Louis and Clark are grandparents dealing with all the stress, pressures and complexities that come with being boomers in today’s society.
Dinkle raises a good point. If you don’t like the formulaic other DC shows on CW, this is the breath of fresh air that deviates considerably from the norm of their productions
Prey was fantastic. Anoyne bummed out on the franchise after the more middling entries of late, should give it a shot. Easily the best Predator film since Arnie’s first entry, it starts off a bit slow and continues to build from there, with a likable protagonist who you end up rooting for (unlike, say, The Predator from 2018 where one roots for the Predator). Multiple callbacks to the first two films, were a nice treat as well.
I remember Watching as the episodes came out & Making Sure I was home To watch every Episode, its awesome & I saw a link for Falling Skies, both this Series & Falling Skies are both awesome series’s
damn haven’t seen the main star of the show in years since that old college football comedy show Blue Mountain State
He’s been very active since, from being a Ninja Turtle to Titans to having his own post apocalyptic death race style show, Blood Drive - which was so much better than it had any right to be.
It was just discovered that the lead writer for Tucker Carlson Tonight, who hosts the top rated cable news show in modern television history, is a full fledged white supremacist.
Not hyperbole.
His name is Blake Neff.
And he has used an online pseudonym for years in which he has been explicitly racist and advanced white supremacist ideas.
In a recent article, Blake Neff said, “Anything Tucker Carlson is reading off the teleprompter, the first draft was written by me.”
It’s the top show on cable news.
And it has been written by a white supremacist
Ritchson’s casting in this has made it so clear why Tom Cruise as Reacher was absurd. A main part of Reacher in the books was his intimidation factor - now Ritchson is, by all accounts, an affable and very funny guy - but no one would want a dude looking like that giving them a withering stare. No matter how good an actor Cruise might be, he’s going to be looking like an upset Chihuahua trying the same.
The film is okay, I guess. But what I don’t understand is the main thing. How did he go back to 65 millions years ago? Unknowingly/accidentally time travelled? 🤔🤔🤔
There was no time travel involved at all. He’s not from Earth - the premise is basically these aliens visited earth 65 million years ago.
Very good yet bittersweeet, knowing this is the last performance of Chadwick Boseman
From a minor Deadpool villain side character, to getting his own tv show - Marvel knows how to make the obscure characters work on screen.
And it continues on strong, fantastic episode! That bridge scene… damn!
Not saying that it is following House of M exactly as 99% of comic translations to screen hardly ever do. However after looking further into WandaVision and it’s relation to house of M, I found several articles that clearly state it is inspired by house of M and could possibly be the MCU version of house of M. One such article is in forbes.
Well, Feige and Bettany already confirmed WandaVision was set up following a cut after credits scene in Endgame, where she gets his body. House Of M can only be lightly touched upon though, (Billy and Thomas’ existence, for example) possibly in an inverse of that story - as mutants don’t exist in the MCU yet. Will this show be that which brings them in? That is my hope.
Is it that we have went without new movies so long? Or is everyones taste in movies really this off? Well to each his or her own i suppose.That was just awful. senseless blood and gore. comedy horror action. Not even B rate D rate maybe.Just my opinion. Dont let the kids watch it.
Why would you even mention kids and this? It’s a rated R film. It’s not marketed to children in the first place.
Considering that the QAnon cult is a subject matter where the jokes pretty much write themselves, this should be good.
Easily in the top 5 of DC Comics based films, of all time. This is what happens when a studio does not micromanage and incessantly force changes on to a director’s project. The Suicide Squad is every bit as hilarious and insane, as the comics of the 5th volume. For fans of the books that really hated the first live action offering (butchered by WB as it was), this is the one we wanted the first go around.
Maybe am missing something, I thought that girl could jump from one reality to another and she said it ..
But again this maight lead into a part 2
You may have missed the series Ms. Marvel, which leads right into this film.
naah…lol just bad a show. if you watch this you will just go to hell is all.
Considering what kind of people claim they will be going to the other place, hell sounds like a much nicer time. See you there!
Wow so Disney is fine with one race of people declaring their race as King? I understand at the moment there is a movement for the injustice done to that particular race against the police, however how can it be ok for that title, yet if a chinese man declares Asian as the supreme race he will be shunned by all…before i am called names, attacked. etc I am a black man with asian family members in a mixed family. I am just putting this discussion up for debate as it is a pretty bold move from Disney of all companies who is known to be all about family and family values for its films
Maybe try watching it, instead of making such nonsense posts based on the title.
The Bel-Air reimagining… is better than I expected. I mean, I expected a dumpster fire, but it’s rather compelling. Just weird having Carlton be so adversial and antagonistic right out the gate.
in a world of witches and strigas the most unbeliveble thing is that Ciris grandma is 35 years old
The actress playing the grandmother is 45, playing a 50 year old character.
This first episode was simply amazing, and if it’s any indication of what’s come, I’m fully on board.
