If you want to see a much better movie, watch Hair. If you want to see a ripoff with a much weaker script and soundtrack, watch this garbage. The last decent movie that used music by The Beatles was Yellow Submarine, but this even lost its shine after multiple screenings. Across the Universe was painful to sit through once and excruciating when having to endure when others wanted to watch this lousy movie. Those who like terrible movies would think this is a good movie.

An incredibly terrible movie, it amazes me that anyone would willingly watch this garbage. It was historically inaccurate, even though it was supposed to be based on a historic event (think Michael Bay's "Pearl Harbor" and you can see how far off this movie is). STARZ has this classified as a comedy, action, and historic. I know a lot of Swedes and they would have a hard time identifying this as a comedy. I endured 50% of this garbage and then was so desperate to escape it, I went to work even though I ended my work day a little bit before the Queen of watching terrible movies put it on. This movie would probably hold up as grounds for a divorce in most countries and states.

The original was much better, this one is long and drawn out with a storyline that really had a hard time following itself. The Emperor was the stereotypical oaf and made the Emperor in the original appear brilliant and mature. They should have stopped at the original, the follow up story was poorly written and the actors appeared to be phoning it in at times. I am glad I did not pay to see this sequel that should have never been. Luckily, it appears that there will not be a third Gladiator movie, but I have been wrong before, unfortunately. I guess they made their money back, good for them and bad for everyone else.

Where did they get the "writers" and "actors" for this terrible movie? Perhaps outside of a 7-11 or Walmart. I have seen better productions from kindergartners. The story is incredibly dumb and not worthy of a Christmas movie, it even makes Hallmark movies look like Shakespeare. The actors look as if they have never done this before delivering their lines as monotonous as possible and with as much emotion as a brick. This is not just because the writing is so bad, it is because they are bad actors and when these "actors" are combined with a script I would not even line a bird cage with, in fear that I would anger the birds with such terrible writing, make this a movie to definitely miss. Santa would not place this on the naughty list, this list would be placed on the burn list.

This terrible series is an obvious ripoff of Harry Potter, but nowhere near as well written or acted. The only things different are that the private school is not one for warlocks and witches, but dancers, and none of kids can dance to save their lives; another difference is that it is in France, such the name "Find Me in Paris." The heroes and bad guys are time travelers who have no clear goal or any idea how to achieve as every episode is basically the same. The bad guy is a Malfoy ripoff with blond hair and two idiot cronies. All the male hero needs is decent backstory and a scar on his forehead, unfortunately, for everyone, he does not, he is just an idiot. The girl time traveler, and the focus, of this terrible show, is a Russian Princess from 1905, there were only two Russian princesses in 1905; one was 4 years old (Anastasia) and one around 35 (Countess I forget her name, sorry). Of course, there are non-time traveling classmates aligned with or against her, and these are like every other character in pick any terrible show from the turn of the Century and newer. If you have a spouse who watches any garbage that is out there and you have nowhere to go to get away from it, my sympathies. Avoid this terrible show, unless you like garbage.

Disney's destruction of the Star Wars franchise is now complete. Granted the destruction began before Disney with Episodes 1 - 3. Rogue One showed hopeful signs that the franchise may have started to turn itself around, but Solo and 7-9, while not terrible, showed the nosedive was continuing. The Mandalorian started well and started to slip into the abyss, this was followed by more terrible mini series and now we finally have Skeleton Crew. Hopefully, this series will end the franchise, in reality this will not happen as the Disney fans will not let Star Wars to die, no matter how painful it is to keep it alive.

Time to get rid of the "special" acts and NBC and return to the traditional coverage of the parade. Even NBC could not stretch its coverage having to repeat a number of segments just to fill the time. I would have laughed if a float popped open a "welcome back President Trump" banner and see if NBC would have been able to break away from it. Of course, the Democrat Party propaganda station would have freaked. I would have also been more impressed if the singers did not lip sync, I know why they do it, but it would have been impressive if they did not. The only reason why i end up watching it is that my wife watches any garbage that comes on.

Another sorry excuse for entertainment brought to you by the participation trophy generation. Like Merlin, another terrible show, the writers have changed a remarkable story into something that one would find at the bottom of an unmaintained portable toilet. It is easier to write garbage than to actually come up with something feasible. Perhaps it is because the participation trophy/whole class valedictorian generation never learned anything, because the truth may have hurt their little sensibilities. This show dishonors Leonardo DaVinci by making him look like an idiot and not a genius. Throwing a few of his better known inventions, that were designed when he was in his 30s and later, into really dumb plots involving a teen show is what this garbage is; I am surprised it lasted 1 year, maybe the Brits really enjoy terrible shows. Even Doctor Who has gone to pot, because it was destroyed by the same caliber of writers.

If one remembers the original, one will be greatly disappointed in this as it lacks the charm and the good writing of the original. It tries too hard and destroys itself by attempting to update itself to take on modern issues. It fails at addressing these issues in any way, be comedic or otherwise. This movie should not have been made as it really tarnishes the prematurely canceled original. The new characters introduced were not worth the ink used to create them, the original characters appeared, at times, to be thinking to themselves, "why did we agree to do this," as they appeared to be frustrated on shoring up the weak new characters and actors. This movie deserves to be placed in a box and buried.

Get rid of the irritating host and the show may have potential. Right now, listening to fingernails being dragged across a blackboard is more pleasant than listening to the host. The houses are not all that "wild" either, the houses are borderline trashy. I am surprised any of these places have sold, I guess people are willing to shell out good money for houses that will require a large amount of additional cash to make the houses somewhat livable. The houses are not that interesting either, especially if the irritating host uses the dumb wackadoo element in the overall rating, I can think of a better name, the puke inducing element.

A weak and poor attempt at making a Santa Claus Die Hard. It was like watching another "Purge" movie, and just as poorly written. I t stuck watching this because the wife plays "movies she has not seen" no matter how lousy they are. Unless one also likes watching garbage, steer clear of this one, you will thank yourself later.

The ending really was the worst part as it really was a reach to get to this ending. This movie is just another in a long line of movies released since the late 90s that would not even have been good enough to qualify as a "B" movie in the 80s and earlier. I guess when you have screenwriters that grew up not knowing how to write complete sentences, you end up with the garbage being presented today.

Did the individuals who wrote this terrible script even research the event? It does not appear so. No wonder it was Van Peebles who took it up, he has never done anything worth watching, and stars one of the worst actors out there, Cage. This movie dishonored McVey and his crew. The special effects were terrible as was the CGI. There is nothing good about this film, too bad the non-Baby Boomers will actually think this what happened to the INDIANAPOLIS. It looks like the effects people tried to steal from the Titanic movies and the worst of the terrible SyFy channel original movies. I can just say that at least I did not have to pay extra to cringe through this garbage.

What can one expect from a show based on a comic book? Nothing but garbage. The person or persons who wrote this lousy show has no clue about gender, genetic science, or government. The writer(s) probably come from a generation that started the destruction of the country and the world due to a lack of education in any science and has never even heard of a civics or real history class. I had the unfortunate experience of watching this as my wife will watch any garbage just to watch something she has not seen. She will watch the program even while complaining how dumb it is. Anyway, the story makes no sense and lacks logic let along passable writing or acting. Avoid this garbage at all costs!

It is a shame that Stargate devolved into a whiny Millennial and later generation show. There is not one character interesting or likable on this show. I am surprised it lasted past episode 1 or even made it out of the conceptualization stage. What few characters that survived the other Stargates quickly degenerated. Terrible writing combined with terrible acting, unfortunately seems to be the nature of any show past the early 90s and this is being generous. If the show killed off Eli in the first episode, the show may have been salvageable. True to the nature of shows written for the target generations, the show attempts to be preachy and act as a propaganda piece for those who have no clue about history or the sciences and yet want to change society into an Orwellian society.

A truly terrible movie, at the level of the Twi(t)light movies. The premise is not even original, it desperately wanted to be another Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and failed miserably. After watching this piece of garbage, I seriously considered ripping my eyes out of my skull to eliminate any possible residual on my retinas. This movie could not pull off the same level of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes even with the advantage of CG and other technology not available when Killer Tomato's was made, perhaps this is why this movie was so terrible, it relied on these technological advantages at the cost of the script. Avoid this movie if possible.

Every minute of watching this garbage results in at least the loss of 3 points of one's IQ. I am glad that I am able to avoid this show whenever my wife watches it.

This movie misses on so many counts; here are just a few:

Intelligence: my goldfish could have written a better movie

Acting: a display of the lack of talent in movies today

Suspense: the only suspense was would the viewer keep his or her eyes open or would the viewer fall asleep

Worth the time: not even close, too bad I had to sit through this crap with someone who would not know a worthwhile movie if it bit her on the ass

Worth the money spent making the movie: no, if I were involved in the financial backing of this garbage, I would demand a refund in cash or in blood

Recommendation: bury this and the original in the deepest cesspool available as they both were POS.

Pattinson was a so-so Batman, unfortunately it is all downhill from there. This movie quickly deteriorates to become yet another BLM and socialist venue. If they make another one, hopefully they will find the few remaining screenwriters that know how to write a screenplay, of course, most of these have retired or are now dead.

Terrible writing and acting; the writers never performed any research on anything and just threw together a bunch of garbage that only those younger than Generation X would even think was quality entertainment.

It appears as if this another invention of someone who has no clue about the subject matter and yet, the bastion of quality entertainment, Netflix, went ahead and produced it and placed it out there. I guess this show is attractive to the Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z groups who appear to be equally clueless as these groups have only been taught to a test and have no clue about history or any other topic.

I thought it would be tough for Netflix to make anything as bad as "Stranger Things," but, unfortunately, I was wrong. "October Faction" is as terrible in its acting and writing. Regretfully, my wife likes both shows, so I am stuck having to endure these POCs.
