2.9 score on audience reviews? I hate to sound like an old man but I don't think people recognize quality anymore. Stellan Skarsgard's son and Johnny Depp:s daughter second generation thespians. Nicholas Hoult Ralph Ineson deliver too. And how can you argue with Willem Dafoe? though I'm a little surprised they didn't cast him as Orlok lol. Stunning cinematography and art direction. First great movie I've seen in a while amid all the mass-produced streaming crap for the past few months.

Wanted to watch it but couldn't. Rosaria Dawson is a terrible actress. She sounds like she's reading off a script. Her inflection is terrible and her betrayal is unconvincing. I had to bow out after 40 minutes of episode 1.

Rotten tomatoes gets a 10% on the tomatometer rating from me for their 93% tomatometer rating. This movie was long and boring. Great acting but I didn't see anything profound in it. 3 and 1/2 hours of robbed time out of my life lol.

Let me agree with the previous one star reviews saying 1. they didn't laugh once through this (I know some would say it's a dark comedy but it isn't effective as a dark comedy), 2. it's soulless, and 3. how could Rotten tomatoes give this a 97%. I've generally agreed with RT in the past but I'm beginning to think they've sold out. Spoiler alert here.. in order for this to be effective as a comedy or a drama there needed to be more development of the murder victims characters as evil dimwits so the viewer could get more satisfaction and empathize more with the protagonists murdering them. About the best I could say about it it is that the plot was a cute idea with possibilities that failed on execution. Note to self: Trust the user aggregate rating more than metacritic IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes.

We should have been able to see the finale. After all it felt like I was watching this for 400 years. Not enough interesting stuff going on. We just kept learning more about the plot from the actors who serve more as narrators than participants. I think we generally look for a sense of urgency in an aliens taking over the Earth scenario and the 400 year time period just doesn't excite you enough to get you off the couch. Some good acting though. Please no season 2 I don't have another 400 years lol.

I really wanted to like this series as they say lol. Watched through season 2. The new young actors are so good, very engaging. But there are too many subplots each of which isn't given time to develop and therefore more confusing than meaningful. I found myself constantly searching the web for clarifications and explanation of terms. I needed a glossary to define the various types of wizards, their powers and the histories and politics of the various factions and ethnicities. The plot is imaginative and cool but there wasn't enough spectacle or grit. Last battle scenes over destruction of the fold were more like door to door combat in world war II Germany or a video game than a fantasy finale.

One full hour into this movie and we are still on the opening scene which consists of the princess splitting skulls and shoving blades in the necks of the castle invaders. Literally nothing happens in that time other than some very predictable brief flashbacks of how it came to this. Were I have 10-14 year old girl I might identify and enjoy watching a swashbuckling young princess, but this movie sure ain't brain food.

This is the most I've ever disagreed with prior reviews. I'm one of the biggest Jeff Bridges fans short of becoming a Latter-Day Dude. Anything Jeff Bridges is an automatic watch and I don't remember anything he's done that I didn't like. But this is just another stretched out over prolonged low budget yarn. I'm on episode 5 and find myself not at all hanging on the edge of my chair wanting to find out what the series of events with Hamzad and Emily was that led us to Chase's current state of affairs. As a matter of fact I had to rewatch the last 20 minutes after I fell asleep. I'm just plain bored with it and the only reason I'm still watching is because Bridges is in it.

Captain Peter goes to fightertown. Perfect for sub 100 IQs. Always thought Cruise was a waste of protoplasm. This proves it. It was empty as a film as Cruise is empty as a human. A glorification of kill people and break things with the added sanitization of the viewer never seeing the "enemies'" faces. Better that way so we can more freely project our hatred and enjoy blowing them up without reservation. I'm having dreams of Kim Jung-un chasing Cruise around a soccer field firing anti-aircraft guns.

So believable I felt like I was sitting in the parlor with them. Powerful and thought provoking. So sad that Season 2 episode 5 goes off a cliff leaving all the story lines waiting for conclusions. Gonna really hurt if HBO doesn't produce more episodes.
