rstang-70820's reviews

This special made me laugh out loud multiple times and for me that's an A+. I've always loved his work and this one doesn't disappoint. Some people (and many reviewers on IMDB with low ratings) can't see his genius. He turns into the skid more and more each time which makes him even more brilliant and hilarious. If that isn't enough, watching the critics squirm each time is the icing on the cake. Chappelle is one of the greatest comedians of our time and if you can't see that, then you have no sense of humor. He's made fun of virtually everyone throughout his career, including me, and I've laughed the entire time. In fact, one of his jokes in this special made me nearly spit my food out. Granted it was a joke I can't personally tell but it was absolutely brilliant. So if you don't have a soft skin, watch this special and you're likely to get a few good laughs.

For starters, this movie is way too slow, long, and mostly uninteristing. It's a shame considering the tragic story it seeks to tell. Leonardo DiCaprio is starting to lose his luster and was severely misplaced as a WWI veteran who's pushing 50 but was continually portrayed as an young man. De Niro has never been a good actor and this film highlights how mediocre he's always been. Go back and watch any Scorsese/De Niro film, and you'll realize how overrated they both are. Yes, I'm talking about films like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Casino, Cape Fear, and even Goodfellas. Most people believe these are good movies because the critics tell you they are, but if you can watch them with an open mind you'll realize how terrible they all are. This movie follows the same pattern of bad storytelling and bad acting. To make matters worse, it portrays the Osage people in a very bad light.

If you like fantasy, maybe this show is for you. There's almost nothing realistic about it. It's entertaining, but those of us in the know roll our eyes throughout the entire thing. To be clear, there have been many great women in the military and intelligence career fields. This show takes that idea to a Marvel level. No, there are no female "Operators" despite those few news articles you might've read. It's simply not true. Keep the fantasy to shows that don't pretend to be realistic. Taylor Sheridan really missed the mark with this one. All the talent in the world couldn't save this mess. Hard pass from here on out.

This episode as well as the entire season so far is so overrated one has to question the reviews. The story is boring with only a few interesting moments (in the season). Nothing of any real interest happens in this episode. The characters continue to be uninteresting although some of them are well acted. Unfortunately, the actress who plays Rhaenyra is probably the worst actor in the show. The episode's direction, cinematography and costume design were all well done but that still doesn't make up for the lack of story and character development. I gave this show a chance more so than is necessary but sadly this will be the last episode I watch. It might be as bad, if not worse, than GoT season 8. I was hoping HBO wouldn't go the Disney/Marvel route but apparently they have.

I've tried to get through the original about 4 times. It's exactly 1 of 4 movies I've started and never finished. That one has the distinction of more than one attempt. Now it has the distinction of being 1 of 5 and the same boring story. For me, that puts it in the same category as Napoleon Dynamite but worse. Special effects and popular actors don't save a bad story. I'd really hoped this would be better but sadly it's not. I've watched countless movies over the years and I could leave plenty of bad reviews but both versions of this take the cake. I'm baffled by how this has such a high score and how so many people can hold it in such high regard. My personal opinion, take it or leave it, is that this is the single worst series in cinematic history.

The last episode of the first season was the worst. It seems this season wanted to carry that on with this episode. It's boring and pointless to the point that I stopped watching and won't watch the rest of the season.

I had high hopes for this movie and was severely disappointed. I'll start with the obvious: the story is boring and poorly written. The premise is extremely hard to believe and the pace is too slow (even for a western). The characters are dull and uninteresting. It's obvious they tried too hard to create chemistry between the two main characters and failed miserably. Both the protagonists and antagonists are unconvincing. Their motivations arent explained in the slightest. The antagonists are oversimplified as just racist Texans, which is extremely lazy writing. It's both historically and technically innacurate. The shotgun shell scene is so technically innacurate it's laughable. And lastly, Tom Hanks proves he's well past his prime with yet another dismal performance. His last good performance was Saving Private Ryan and it's past time he retire.

Family Guy really isn't as funny as it used to be, and even less so when they perpetuate bias lies. What is funny is that after this was aired their lies were debunked. Now THAT's comedy.

Stop trying to be woke. You used to be better than that.

I saw this movie first I'm my mid twenties and it was fun. It's only now that I'm watching it again I realize how truly idiotic it is. This is the quintessential millennial movie: accomplish nothing and somehow it's applauded. Throw in Lewis Black, the dunce of comedy, and you can read between the lines. Sure it has it's funny moments, but it's essentially propaganda for the issues we face today: laziness. In real life, you don't get a participation trophy for failing.

This is pure propaganda, fiction, and lies. It's unfortunate that most people who watched it have no idea that they've been duped for the sake of money and an agenda.

I've tried to watch his show. He can't form an intelligent thought. Why is he still on TV? Who pays him for this drivel? Put him on The Daily Show so we can all laugh at his stupidity along with Trevor what's his name.

Headline says it all. It's boring. I had high hopes and I renewed my HBO subscription but if this keeps up I'll cancel it again.

Conan was my favorite late night comedian in the 90s and early 2000s, but he's really fallen off over the years. I just tuned in for the first time in years and the show is horrendous. I couldn't get past the bias monologue and lack of humor.

This isn't a bad show, but it's not a great one either. The idea isn't anything new and could be wrapped up in half a season. After that it needlessly carries on without any real direction and becomes repetitive. The music constantly makes you think something mind-blowing is about to happen and it almost never does. The acting is pretty poor and when the need for special effects is finally presented it disappoints. It's very drawn out and mostly boring.

It's not a news show, but simply propaganda. I stumbled upon this show by accident only to see that it has an extremely bias agenda and trying to pass it as news.

For a movie that claims to be factual, it's nowhere close. It's dripping with bias and covered in propaganda. The acting, directing, and cinematography is also horrendous.

I'm watching this for the first time in almost 15 years, and it's still horrible. The story is decent, but the cinematography ruins the entire narrative. This is a perfect example of how not to make a movie.

I'm a little shocked that so many people gave this game a 10/10. Sure the graphics are great and has a great story, but the gameplay is downright boring and clunky. You spend most of your time riding a horse and walking painfully slow. The 3 hour or so intro was excruciating. Almost all of the side activities (not necessarily side missions) are boring, repetitive, and offer uninteresting rewards. Kudos to a long and well-written story, but when all was said and done I'd have rather watched a movie about it than play it.

As a general rule, I don't consider 1 or 10 ratings at all. I won't write much here because the top 2 most helpful reviews hit the nail on the head. The meta score is ridiculously low on this movie and the IMDB user rating is a little low as well. This is a solid movie, but not perfect. I'd say it's well worth a watch.
