Beast was a gripping movie that could have been executed better in terms of its conclusion. Up until the last 10 minutes of the movie, Beast was enthralling and a real rollercoaster as Nate and his daughters try to find solace from the rogue lion. However, the action sequence with Nate fighting the lion was way too unrealistic (I mean come on a guy throwing punches at a lion triple his size). The ending felt very very rushed; one second he's fighting, the next he's back there taking photos. Overall, Beast was a one-time watch that promised better.

Amazing movie! Watched it in cinemas and loved the experience, although it was really loud in a small theatre. Ranveer Singh did not even seem like himself and truly acted like Kapil Dev, with accurate casting all round. Every match was well filmed and not a drag, and it was a nice mix of sports and humour. Even casting for other opponents in other teams was accurate. Only criticism was that there were a few too many songs at certain points which could've been portrayed without any background music. Really worth the money!

SPOILER ALERT! A terrible film! Started off well with witty humour and an interesting concept, but dropped drastically! The dialogues, all the stories which moved away from the actual fact that a dangerous comet was approaching Earth and above all, the ending scene, were outrageous! I can't believe how the director wasted great actors in Leonardo DiCaprio and Merryl Streep! The ending scene where everyone ends up on a different planet naked just summed up how terrible it truly was! A horrendous movie which showed promise!

Honestly, ever since watching Squid Game, I have been hooked on to it. From Red Light, Green Light to Tug of War, all games (except last game of Squid Game) presented a new challenge which was directed beautifully with a great cast. Always watch with Korean audio as English dubbing is awful! SPOILERS! My only criticism is the last episode which although had a twist as the old man (Oh Il-Nam) was the mastermind behind the Squid Game organisation, I felt that the episode was a drag as when Gi-Hun and Il-Nam play the final betting game of if someone helps the drunk man outside the window with a time limit of 30 mins (ends at midnight), the director could have used this to explain the events of how Il-Nam created this organisation and what happened after Gi-Hun beat Il-Nam in the Marbles game. Also, the ending of Gi-Hun aspiring to destroy the organisation was slightly far-fetched but we will have to wait for Season 2! Finally, even though reasons were given for why this was so poor in Squid Game, I could not avoid the fact of how bad the VIPs were. With weird remarks and unnatural acting, they were pretty average and I hope to not see them again because that would bring the show down drastically! Overall, a great series to remember and a definite Netflix hit! The cast was absolutely amazing and the whole concept was mind-blowing! The gore was actually surreal and although shocking, adds to the story brilliantly!
