Each season lost a star as it increased its unessesary 'ruthless pragmatism' that seamed to only be added for shock value. Characters who became so unlikable season after season that the show became unwatchable.

I restarted the series recently and had forgotten how great those first couple season were and just how far the show has gotten off track. The show was poinient and had interesting characters. It highlighted the struggles of being a professional with autism. Fast forward 4 years to an episode about a doctor and nurse that are dating who accidentally dose half the hospital staff with large amounts of hallucinogenics so they turn a wing of the hospital into a makeshift jungle gym and neither the nurse or doctor are fired

I love action movies and by their nature they bend reality but only to a point. This movie is one big plot hole. Their original plan is to rob a bank with no masks and a dozen witnesses and cameras then just go home, They mist keep a cop they shot alive so their not murderers then proceed to likely kill at least 5 cops by running them off the road or accidents they create, other shootouts or bombs they set. Did the film hire a potato to do continuity? One moment the are covered in in blood and fire extinguisher powder and seconds later completely clean and it just bounces back and forth like this for an hour. The chase scenes, which make up 2/3 of the movie are confusing and extremely disorienting making them hard to follow. This movie. It's hard to feel anything for the characters. It's basically the same movie told again and again and again except this one sucks

There are allot of comments incredibly critical of Bruce Willis's acting but a little insight might make it more understandable. Bruce Willis was diagnosed and battling a disease called aphasia which affects the speech and communication parts of the brain. There is no cure to aphasia, only treating the symptoms. Bruce is losing not just the ability to speak but also to read, write and understand spoken words. Aphasia begins suddenly and progresses rapidly, very soon he will lose every ability to communicate. Cut him a little slack, it's a b action movie.

Adam Sandler used to be funny but It doesn't even feel like he is trying to be in this movie. He has made some clever, interesting and unique films but this movie was absolutely terrible.

The movie felt like remembering the punchline to an inside joke that was only funny because everybody else was laughing. I was so excited. For seven years The Sopranos was one of the greatest stories ever told week to week. Almost 20 years later it stands poinient and powerful, the duality of man, their greed, hate, love, power and indifference. What stands apart is the show had a beginning, a middle and an end. David Chase knew years in advance how it would end. With that knowledge he could let the audience come in close with foreshadowing and symbolism that didn't treat the audience like idiots. Shows today go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on until they get canceled. Shows nowadays have no end, they have a stop. As that famous quote goes "you either die a hero or live long enough to become boring and everybody turns on porn instead" There is so much story to tell and so many directions a Sopranos movie could take but why this story? Out of all the possibilities and incredible actors with practically a blank check, why this? It felt like a background episode that was testing the actors and characters out on us. I'm not sure what they were going for but at least for me it didn't get there. The movie was a big letdown. It didn't feel like the point of the movie was the story but more like a joke from an inside story. Without the show and just rating the movie as a standalone film it sucked. I could pick and randomly play an episode of the show. Even if I had never seen the show before it would still be incredibly entertaining. Completly out of context it would be enjoyable and watchable but this movie felt like the punchline to an inside joke that nobody thought was funny but I'm so desperate for another Sopranos fix I will sit through anything.
