  • Got to love an anti hero

    I wasn't sure what to expect as I didn't cotton onto the whole * as I've not read any spoilers. I love Bucky so that's prob what drew my attention and the whole widdow assassins. This was very good and full of action with some fun along the way. Yes the underlying theme is mental illness but it's didn't overpower the film. We all suffer from the kicks and punches of life. I love an anti hero and I love the broken captain America. The thing is if you're broken you can be fixed and this does it well with all the characters. I'm not sure how they will fit into the goody goodiness of the Avengers world but I will definitely be watching the next instalement. One minor issue the girl who was killed early on, I think they did a miservice but it didn't spoil anything.

  • Frustratingly good

    I have to admit I love this series. It's weird, a bit scary but very intriguing. I like the main characters I think each one has a good role to play and the daughters are hilarious. Leland is great and I love Sheryl, a toxic mix if ever I saw one. Different story nearly every episode which kind of intertwine but can be frustrating at times as nothing is proven or debunked. So if your impatient this is not for you. Sister Andrea is brilliant I love this character and I wish she has her own spin off show. It's also good to have no idea where the show is going as it's a rollcoaster of a ride and everytime I think I can't be gobsmacked anymore something wild happens. I'm glad it's getting an ending, I just hope it's good.

  • I've seen worse

    Personally ive seen worse however I have seen far superior CGI. The story had great potential and fell a bit by the wayside. The acting was a bit meh. I didn't warm to any of the characters and didn't care what happened to them. Infact as I write this I'm thinking I need to lower my stars even more.... Another lost that makes no sense and has zero explanations. This should have been a film. What's with having to write 600 characters for a review?....

  • Snooze fest

    Boring, after two episodes I've no idea what was going on in the flash backs and this was an indication to turn it off and never look back. Watch yellow jackets it's much more entertaining.

  • Fun

    People need to go buy a sense of humour. It's Thor! Since when has Thor ever been that serious. Yes its daft and a bit silly but that's nothing new and if you have watched previous Thor films this is very apparent. Me and my husband had a good giggle at this in parts whilst other parts were serious and meaningful. The end to me was slightly unexpected but on reflection it makes sense why they would do this. I take it the people who hated this film must also hate guardians of the galaxy as that's a bit silly too.....

  • I wish I could give it more than 10

    If your a true fan you would have enjoyed this, if not then move along. Action packed all the way through, I know it's not real but it did get me on the edge of my seat a few times. Loads of shout outs to the original films. Loved all the cast together. For the reviews saying there was no storyline I suggest you watch it again. It was a roarsome cornfest. We can't take these films to seriously if you did then shame on you go watch David Attenborough instead. Loved rexys special appearance can't have a Jurrasic Park/world without rexy. If you don't like it go buy yourself a personality or just simply don't watch it.

  • Disappointed

    One minute I'm sitting here thinking ok we are getting somewhere at last, then the next thing I know it's the endl No thank you, goodbye nothing. It left me feeling numb. Sloppy and lazy last few episodes. This series should have blown us away but it didn't. It just wasted our time.

  • Come on get soldier boy on more

    Let's face it a lot of us want to see soldier boy and not just flashbacks. Season 3 is doing OK but we need more from this season to keep it fresh. 3rd episode and underwhelmed, hope it picks up the pace soon.

  • Usually not my cup of tea

    So I watched season one as it was lockdown and my choices of TV shows were running thin. It was ok a steady 6. So season 2, as I like the brother (who doesn't!) Very hugh jackmaness. I really enjoyed it. Plenty of twists and turns and side stories. It was definitely an improvement. I can't take it too seriously though it's mostly a light hearted over the top period drama.

    Please please avoid. This is the worst thing I have watched. Its beyond stupid. Such a shame as a great cast of stars who are usually funny but in this just terrible.

  • Seriously???

    Terrible. So much potential wasted. Awful mother, awful teacher. They could have got Any actor, as what a waste of Paul Rudd. The kids were OK. Alas the 3 amigos did not save this. There was zero fun zero comedy and pretty much zero ghosts. All the modern things we have now would have been a payground for ghosts to get up to allsorts of mischief and mayhem. But no it was set in a boring little town that barely had any technology. Even the girls version was better than this tosh.

  • No thanks

    Dreary boring film about how weak we are for caring, loving and having feelings. I just wanted robots and lots of action. Why does every film these days have to have a deeper meaning. And how is Korea the safest place to flee, wouldn't they have crazy androids too! Or I'm I missing something...

  • Tedious tosh

    This could and should have been done over a mini series of 3 episodes. If it wasn't for my morbid curiosity and the fast forward button this would have been abandoned. The show moved at a snails pace even the dialogue seemed to be in slow motion at times. Another series showing humans as mindless lemmings.

  • Trust Will Robinson

    Excellent 3rd series. Wasn't a fan of season 2 so was torn whether to watch this through. I am so glad I did as this continuation of the Robinson Family story was very well done. The robots were of course the main attraction. I cried I jumped around on the edge of my seat. When I thought all was lost it turned itself around. If your sitting on the fence reading these reviews get off it and get watching.

    This is great. I was apprehensive about a series on this evil doll. But really enjoyed it. It give more of an indepth of the boy/man behind the doll. It brought back the whole slasher concept in a fresh way. It was better than the films. If you were bored with the whole chucky franchise don't overlook this show you will be pleasantly surprised.

    Sick of the Don and Carol saga. Rehashing all different stories the end result is always the same, we have noooo proof. I expected more footage of Joe's shenanigans not carols did she? Didn't she with multiple scenario's ending in zero results yawn...

  • Oh dear

    This could have and should have been amazing. Dull, dark, dreary and boring. Characters had zero about them and half of the time I wasn't sure what was going on with the story. If your still thinking of watching it please don't.
