This show is for those who love a corny teen romance. The acting is terrible and despite popular opinion, Mary's character throughout the series irks me. I have actually come to adore like Cathrine more than anyone. Mary seems quite immature even though she tries to be smart and appear confident. The costumes completely destroy the validaty of this show. They remind me of prom dresses that someone bought from Dillard's or some such store. I hate what Mary did to Francis in the first season. Francis should have never slept with Oliva, but then she turned around and completely blindsided him with her so called desire to save him. There are two maids that I appreciate would have to be Greer and Lola. The other Lady in waiting is also immature and annoying. The addition of the so called blood cult bothers me beyond comparison. I feel like they just through that plot point in there to add more mystery. The music would not have been so bad if it were more properly placed. Instead, the contemporary music made it feel more and more like a teen show. The scenery, I. view of the castle was very fact and did not feel like a place fit for a queen and king. The Tudors was a masterful show, and this paled largely in comparison to the Tudors. I felt as if they did Mary Queen of Scots a terrible injustice. She was a powerful woman , but here she appeared like a dumb fool. Clarissa was also was horrible addition as I did not see her point. Some of these characters were useless. It would have been better if the show was about a fictional character such as GOt or The Witcher where blood cults and monsters make an excellent addition. Then, what really passed me off, would have been the accents. I don't appreciate the fact that they had English actors and actresses instead of French actresses or Spanish, Italin, actresses or actors. That would have been more realistic and probably brought the shows morale back up. d It completely socks. Mary is ridiculous. Then the dude with the visions were completely unnecessary. Cathrine was the smart one. I liked her above them all. This show is quite disgusting and I don't understand the horrific ratings.

Honestly. I do not know where to start. I started watching this show soon after Domina was released which I found to be quite excellent. Most of those who watched Domina raved about this show and so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I came in with high expectations , but I found myself extremely disappointed. The show was not too bad, but the acting was subpar and the sea scenes and nudity seemed a bit excessive and unnecessary. I get what the producers were trying to do, but it did not seem to come through. The portrayals of Julius Ceasar, Pompey, Antony, and the Octavian were well done, as far as, actors. The relationship between Servilla and Octavia seemed forced. The two Roman soilders which the show seemed more focused on came up short. I felt that their relationship felt short and did not make any sense. The more brutish of the two lacked in many ways, and I found myself annoyed with both of them. Neither of them seemed likeable. I found myself trying not to fast forward past their scenes. I felt that they might have been trying a bit too hard. Another thing that I found to be most deplorable would have to be the lack of diversity. Now, I am not a historian nor an expert in history. But from what research I have done, Rome came across as a diverse land, which meant that you would have seen Greeks, Africans, Spaniards, and other ethnicities in the streets of Rome. There was a form of diversity that this show lacked. But what angered me the most would be the ludicrous depiction of Cleopatra. As I said before, I am no historian but I do believe that she might have been mixed, after all, her half-sister has been found to be mixed. Not only that, but the wigs that she was decorated with I thought were atrocious. I would have rathered they used to real hair. They could have at least used a braided lace front on her with some beads. The white wig was the worst. It was just horrible and filthy to look at. And of course, most of the egyptian representation had to appear as slaves. Cleopatra is one of the most fascinating women in egyptian history and I felt that her tale was botched. That was the worst part of the show, by far. I had heard that the show was epic and brilliant, but when I watched it, I did not think that it was epic. There were not many fight scenes. The scenes that did exist were a bit drab and not as exciting. For production costs to be so high, it certainly did not seem like it with those atrocious wigs they put on Cleopatra. I didn't like it. In season two, I felt that everything got rushed and shoved into it and I barely made it through season one without reading a book for some form of entertainment. I'm not sure I would recommend this to any friends or colleagues of mine who are interested in good shows about Rome. Emphasis on the word good. As I have stated before, the saving grace of this shown would be Octavian and his family. Other than that, it was a complete snooze fest. The inaccuracies in this show is laughable. Domina seemed more accurate and the historical inaccuracies blended into the show and didn't seem to ludicrous. But in Rome, there were too many historical inaccuracies that were all smashed together.They should not have destroyed the characters of Gaius Octavian, Octavia the Minor, Cleopatra, ext. just to make the show more interesting. It's like they tried to do like Gladiator, but while Gladiator was a masterpiece, this show was a complete failure and should have been canceled.

I had decided to give this movie a try because I love Westerns. However, what excited me most about the movie would be the fact that it was, for the most part, an all black cast which was something that was rare for me to see. To say I was completely disappointed would be an understatement. I was completely and utterly confused. At the end of the movie, I couldn't determine who the villian was or what the movie was even about. The characters were extremely underdeveloped and did not seem to know how to make wise choices. I can see why the movie received such negative reviews. I was left with so many unanswered questions about the plot. The acting was subpar. You could definitely tell that the producers hadn't really thought the movie out and rushed it towards the end. The plot twist was predictable, but didn't exactly make sense to me. IThe only positive note was the music. Other than that, I would never recommend this movie to someone interested in a good western.

I would lend this show about three stars. Seasons one through ten were awesome. I didn't mind when Gideon left because he started to irritate me. The decline of the show started with the removal of Hotch and Morgan. The replacements for these characters were ridiculous. SSA Sam Walker could not act and I was not sad to him go. The actor for Luke Alverz could not act at all. I felt that the end of the series was trash. Neither was dude who played Mathew Simmons, however, he was not as bad as the others. The storyline kind of became weak. JJ in love with Ried made me sick. I felt that they just through that in there to make it more interesting and it wasn't. It felt contradictory. The plots as far as criminals went I liked.

This is a no....I was not impressed. This would have been better if this was an original show. Better actors and actresses need to be had. The mother sounded like that she was not attempting to cry. The Uncle Phil was an absolute no. I can see the reason that Carlton wants to do drugs and has jealous behavior. The Carlton was the worse. I do not know what Will Smith was thinking when he decided to change the outlook of Carlton Banks. They took some bad actors and decided to add some hip hop music to make it more interesting. I wish people would leave old shows alone.There was no need to make it a serious and dramatic show. The butler switched accents. I wasn't sure if he was even a butler. Will is unlikable. I didn't care so much about the political aspect, but it could have been better.

As a lover of ancient Roman history, I found this show to be very likeable. There were a few things that I felt could have been done better, such as the fact that the second woman who portrayed Livia had a strong Polish accent. Another thing that I felt could have been changed was the jumps in time because it could get a little confusing. However, despite that I found the show to be very exciting. It was epic in its own way. I usually do not gravitate towards political dramas, but this had me on the edge of my seat. I wouldn't compare it to GOT because Domina is not a fantasy, but more along the lines of Barbarians, Vikings, and HBO's Rome. I loved the portrayals of Antigone and Livia. I do agree that some more diversity could have been included because Rome was such a diverse place. However, Antigone was such a strong character. I can't say much to the historical accuracy because I am an amateur at history, but I felt that is was pretty accurate. Rome was a brutal place for a woman and I felt Domina gave a new and fresh perspective on the struggles of being a woman and a mother. I personally found this to be one of the best historical shows I have ever seen. Especially, concerning Rome since I wasn't a fan of HBO's Rome. I felt that Domina did an excellent job. Since the show was so fast paced then you had to really pay attention or else you might get a little lost. I fell in love with Antigone and Livia. I thought the characters were nicely developed. I like how they focused on the perspective of a woman in a male dominated society. I also like the fact, that Domina is a true story. I have never heard about Livia Drusilla until now.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

This movie had a lot of potential, but it contained too many unanswered questions. There was almost no character development. Some of the scenes and flashbacks were unnecessary and were not timed right. For instance, who has time for a five minute flashback in the middle of a fight? Also what is the exact origin of the Ten rings? How did the father become evil? Who gave the father the ten rings? Was he just born evil? Did the rings have the power to make him evil? Awkwafina needed more screen time towards the end where she learns how to shoot a bow. The fight scenes were nice in most areas. However towards the end, when it came to the fight between the demonic creature and the Grear Protector, it seemed like the Protector was the real super hero. Then the fathers henchmen all of a sudden decide to become good and have new weapons made in the span of five seconds. There was no emotional attachment. The death of the mother was blurred. Then the blue ninja , what was his purpose? At first, he seemed like someone who was important and relevant. He seemed to have some sort of connection to Shang Chi. But then I discovered that he was meant to be a complete nobody. I did feel like his younger sister looked a tad bit older than him. A good twist would have been for the ninja to be the sister who started working for her father in exchange. The mystery of the pendant turned out to be a huge disappointment. It was map. The. I felt like he didn't even need the pendant if he already knew about how the path worked. His wife had lived in the bamboo forest. I am sure she helped him get out when they left the forest. The pendant could have been something more interesting. I wanted to know more about his sisters story. What happened to her all those years? Her story was somewhat diminished as opposed to his. I nearly forgot she even existed. My other question was what allowed his father to stay so young all those years. A thousand years and he still looked good. It certainly could not have been the rings that allowed him to stay young. His father didn't turn to dust when he lost them or at least age? Was his father supposed to be the villian or the demonic creature? And why does everything have to take a demonic turn. people. The highnotes of this movie was the music, the fight scenes, and the fight scene between the Protector and the demonic creature. It was a good movie but it was not great like it could have been. I think a lot of people got excited, but the movie could have been so much more.

This movie was horrible. Not as bad as the Robin hood movie with Jamie Foxx. The acting was terrible. The outfits horrendous. I felt the movie should have been a movie series. Everything felt rushed. I get that it was trying to be fast-paced and dramatic, but seriously. The flash backs were used as a method to cut down the time of the movie it seemed. Every few seconds, I was watching a flashback that didn't really explain anything. For a moment, I was confused. What were the darklands? A bunch of oversized animals? The nightmares. It seemed like he didn't experience the nightmares until he was an adult. Then, all of a sudden a mage pops up out of nowhere and my first thought who is she? Who sent her if all her people were slaughtered? Then you have the one black guy who is just there. I get he was a general, but how is his character relevant. What's his story? And have more diversity. Then the blonde lady who was supposed to serve as a spy. Since when did she become important. Who was she?The entire storyline could have been more fleshed out. What is the story with the siren creatures? Does anyone believe in changing clothes or bathing. It seemed like Authur wore the same shirt everywhere. It was a clash of GOT meets the Witcher. I was completely confused with the first battle scene and had to think about what was going on? I shouldn't have to rely on the characters to explain to me what is happening so that I can understand the movie. I mean, sometimes the characters have to give a little explanation, however. I shouldn't have to rely on them to tell me the entire plot of the movie. I felt like that is what happened. I got completely lost. I only gave it two stars because I kind of liked the ending with the snake, but even that scene could have been expounded on. Give the mage a better storyline. Show me how the characters grow. It's okay if a movie is fast paced, but itt should be well-developed. This just wasn't. The 2004 film was much better. Especially for a 2 hour movie.
