THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT WAS TOLD IT WAS CHEESY AND CLICHE AND THE ACTION SEQUENCES WERENT GOOD, THEY JUST DONT LIKE THE IDEA OF AQUAMAN. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ACTION/FANTASY MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN. I THINK AQUAMAN POWERS ARE AMAZING, AND I FIND THE WHOLE IDEA OF COMMANDING THE SEA BADASS. I THINK EVERYONE IN THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME, NICOLE KIDMAN IS AMAZING, I LOVE THE ORIGIN STORY. I LOVE IT FOR PEOPLE RIDING DOLPHINS AND MAKING AN OCEAN WAR LOOK SO BADASS. I AM GONNA GO NOW AND BUY AQUAMAN TSHIRTS AND MERCHANDISE. FOR THE FISH PEOPLE!I AM OBSESSED. THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME, IM BEING AS OBJECTIVE AS POSSIBLE. THOUGH GLASS OF WATER CONVERTING TO PLASMA, BIT OVERKILL BUT OVERALL AWESOME. THE OCEAN CGI IS INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL, BREATHTAKING WORK IMAGINING THAT. WHOEVER IS THE ANIMATION TEAM FROM THE FISH BALLGOWN, TO ALL OF THE FACES/BODIES OF THE FISHES, AMAZING WORK AND I LOVE THE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND THE SCENES.

Sure there are probably some better dc and avenger movies, but the lore of Warcraft is so amazing that I will accept ANY movie that they bring in the market and I want to see their movies over any other franchise so BAD, and this movie was amazing. It is close enough to the actual lore. I just CANNOT, not see another movie of literally every character they have from Durotan to Dranei, to trolls to Pandaren, to Shadowlands, I need this franchise for movies to continue, and yes there are some better movies in the fantasy genre but this is STILL A VERY GOOD MOVIE, ONE OF THE GOOD ONES I HAVE SEEN. I think having a bit of WOW background helps and if you have played the warcraft games this makes you happy.

As a theist and someone who loves science, I played this with an open mind, and I decided to keep away my biases towards the messengers and focus on the message. It is a really good documentary. It laid down the overall ideas the movement wanted to talk about, the first being how the genesis story is a bad origin story or a metaphor at best compared to what science already knows with evolution. They brought up some interesting, and profound concepts of science that could be explained at a 5 year old level, and overall it is a really positive documentary and I found the 30,000 atheists gathering in 2012, kind of heartwarming. I really like how Krauss explained that even a vacuum with nothing, has weight which is very interesting, so we can say the universe empty space has weight. I am still a theist, but I do see the value of the work they are doing, it can't be easy to propagate that view, and while I do see value in religion, I do agree that it should be something that should not be indoctrinated to children at infancy, and more made cultural reading material at 16. Separation of religion and state is a good idea. I completely understand they would be facing incredible amount of hate, and possibly life threatening altercations for what they are doing, and in a way some of us theists like atheists, cause there are less people to focus on hating Christians and Muslims or Satanists when there are people like Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins. I do agree atheists believe in one less God than theists, and they should not be ostracized for it. I still have my doubts for the anti-theists, for I don't think a society without religion or humanity without religion be better than what we have today, but you could argue it is wrong to collect human beings on a premise that we don't know if is true or not. In a way, religion is very similar to nationalism or following any sports team or association and we would end up then asking questions that should we have a collective ideology at all that is based on a delusion or very rudimentary common themes? Isn't collecting people as a group with land boundaries, more superficial than common values under one God? In that way, racial pride does make sense, but then if we change that idea to we have a choice to pick and not pick any group we choose to be in, and ideologies we believe in, then the idea that nothing that is not currently proven should run our societies and nations makes sense. I think I will explore more atheist works and I don't think I will ever become agnostic or atheist, but I do think exploring what the other side has to say will give us a more balanced view on the world. i do agree with the otherside that we should have a choice to embrace any ideology or thought process or discard it completely, without society pressuring us to do either. While I do not agree with anti- theists, as a theist, I do think it is kind of a force that is great against religious fundamentalism, and having strong opinions on either side helps truth prevail and let a society that is balanced and progressive be the final result. Overall, even though I am biologically inclined to be a theist, I completely support all atheists and the work Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins are doing. Let the better view prevail.

This movie is basically about a perfect holiday, with the perfect setting, the perfect everything possible for a great holiday going horribly wrong. I have never seen a movie like this, and there is nothing out of the ordinary in this movie but Leonardo Di Caprio drives this movie brilliantly and you get really caught in it. One of the best movies ever made on a holiday. It is also the best tourist advertisement I have ever seen for Thailand or in general. Tilda Swinton is amazing.

SPOILERS FROM THE BOOK: The ending is very different from the movie and the movie is much more tame, children friendly version of the book. I loved the book as a child, or tween, and I loved the movie as an adult. To be fair, I like the movie version better, it hides the darkness better. I pictured Tom differently in my head, blonde with flowing locks, and I pictured Anne with curly hair who was a fast walker while jogging. They don't fully describe Anne's guilt, but the movie had a brilliant actress who captured both the New Yorker worker and woman in love well, and the torture she faced at the decision. I loved whoever they picked for pilgrim, its very close to the book adaptation. In the end of the book, Grace gets a baby brother.

Now I know this is an avenger movie, but I just assumed this would be an origin story, that is brilliant but kind of what is the standard for Marvel. I actually picked this up cause it got an Oscar , and usually Academy awards don't tend to give Oscars to movies I tend to find entertaining or would actually watch, so I was surprised and I thought, naturally this is some social commentary and Oscars thought it should have the same place as Schindler's list or something. Black Panther is also not the same league as famous as Loki for example or Hulk or Dr Strange. This is a very good movie even if you are not into superhero movies or Avengers or DC or generally a geek like the rest of us. It is absolutely cinematically beautiful and I LOVE the effort they took to recreate the entire Wakanda kingdom. I think I appreciate that they talked about a healthy brother and sister relationship instead of something disturbing like a sister coming to avenge her brother or worse, and though there is a small romantic side to it, and all the actresses are beautiful and perfect and brilliant at acting in this movie, it is really entertaining and fun to watch and somehow believable. I now actually believe Wakanda exists somewhere in the Serengeti and I now know Africa does have mountains where it snows. There is a social commentary aspect about it. It is handled beautifully, and the first scene where they introduced some badass women in hijab made me cry, and it did not seem forced and wasn't a preachy addition, I can't say I dislike anything about this movie. The momentum in the start is a bit slow but it is worth it for the way they unravel the world, and I like how I support both the evil guy and the good guy intentions in this movie. The men and women are absolutely beautiful in the movie and though, I could not get over the fact the female warriors had nipples on their armor, the fact they had full armor, not a string bikini with a chain, makes me respect this, I do believe they were good warriors, there is a very heavy strong woman thing going at the back of this movie which is breath of fresh air compared to the damsel in distress plot usually superhero movies go for. This is kind of a strong matriarchal bend to the main idea the king is the ruler. Yeah but the main thought process, is it fun like Thor origins or some movie. Yes it is. Can you make kids watch it, yes. Is there some explicit gory images, no. Is it funny, yes. Is it entertaining to watch, yes. Is it one dimensional, less than you would expect. Does it have hot actresses and actors, yes it does. Good movie. Deserves that Oscar. Edit: I didnt know that Chadwick Boseman died before I watched this, I just found out now. Wow, he was a really good actor. Either way, this movie review has nothing to do with Chadwick Boseman dying and movies should not be judged on sympathy, it is an impartial what I thought this movie is.

This is probably one of the best comedy shows /roasts I have seen in recent times, and definitely one of the greatest comedy shows I have ever watched in my life/probably of all time. Love the concept. It was really hilarious. Watched the whole first season. Love to see more. This could be so legendary, very entertaining and hilarious. And I learned something about historical figures loved it. Love Jeff Ross and his good natured humor. Here comes Rosa Parks the worst person to play musical chairs with, hahahahaha,

OMG THANK YOU!!! ITS SO NICE TO SEE A MOVIE ABOUT A GIRL WHO IS TALL INSTEAD OF FAT ACCEPTANCE OR SOMETHING. Tall girl bullying does exist and tall women are made to feel like they are not feminine enough, or are too intimidating, or just arent people that can be dated, or don't have curves (when you are tall, your body weight tends to distribute less to places, so you always look skinny) and conversely, small weight gains make you look like an ogre. Tall girls, beyond modelling are massively bullied by midgets of the world, especially fat midgets of the world. I wish this movie existed when I was 13, and made to stand with the boys in the back section, with no curves, I looked like a lamppost. Add to that I had short hair, so women (back then they were all like 4 ft) would accidently call me a dude. I was 5'9' at 13, and most of my asian school boys at their tallest were 5'8'. I felt like such a giant till I went abroad and suddenly, instead of being a freak, 5'9 girls were uncommon but normal. Contrary to most women, models make me happy and represent my beauty standards , and I feel model body types should be represented too. I was also extremely skinny so the only people I looked like were on runways, definitely not on streets, and I ate four times full sized meals a day, and was practically a carnivore. All my friends are now tall girls cause all of us are really rational and kind. Tiny girls have some form of napoleon complex, especially when they are fat and midgetish, they are like emotional terrorists, and they emotionally kick and bully people who are tall with burning hatred and spite. Tall girls, especially tall skinny girls are the sweetest, most intelligent people on the planet. Now that I have suffered from the hands of the short midget women, no longer should I advocate for short women or fat woman or both rights, and if I hear one more comment about I should not wear high heels cause I will look like a giant, I will attack the midgets and make them projectile leap into a goalpost and start keeping a score. Great movie. I related alot to Jodie, my date in high school was a best friend too. Guys literally are too intimidated asking you out, its true, I ended up getting all my high school crushes confessions after high school cause they kind of "grew into my height" and back then they felt they should not dare cause I was closer to the ceiling than them. Short/fat women, especially dwarf sized throw alot of shade at you. On bright side, men automatically think you are smarter and one of the guys, and you get leadership positions more, authority figures like you, and you get to be hall monitor or class representative alot.

There is something about Ellen that is so brimming with positivity and innocence that I almost forgive her for being the most iconic example of a lesbian we have today. I love her sense of humor, it is subtle and fun and she makes everyone laugh and I tbh did not expect I would laugh at all the jokes in relatable, and I laughed at all of them. She has this really subtle sense of humor, and I love her conversational style which is very unlike the comedians of today who are a bit on your face all the time (its not wrong, go do you, but there is more serotonin than adrenaline with her) , but she ends up sharing more if not equal energy and enthusiasm. I love the fact she is saving Mountain Gorillas, and I did not know she was raised in a very traditional Christian family. In a way, though I did not have to come out gay, I appreciate anyone who has to celebrate their authentic self in any way and especially that time, it would have been an act of absolute emotional courage, I like that. I have always been a fan of you Ellen, and I watched almost all of your tv show with Twitch over the years, and I am a huge fan of the feel-good comedy you create, and the fact adults and kids alike like your show. In a way, you have completely humanized LGBT community for me over the years and I am incredibly happy to watch what you are up to usually. Love you and Portia for the cutest, long-standing love story in Hollywood. (I go by the default label pansexual, cause my thoughts on LGBT is love is love, and if that love happens to a tree, man, woman, neptune, it should be considered love, and should be the same as all heterosexual love. As a demisexual, I don't assume that I can only have a romantic connect with a guy, though that's my usual go to thing, so I just like to put me in a bracket where everyone can already judge me by default. I have sometimes felt more love for clouds or trees than I do for some men, and women so its not that I am attracted to all men. And I grew up in traditional societies, so I just like to leave labels out in the open, so that people have lower expectations from me. Lot of my friends are bi, and they are all wonderful people, and I have some male friends who are gay, and they are all loved just the same.)

OMG this is amazing. I will use this to explain to my kids all the religions that exist in the world and why they exist. Absolutely brilliantly put and very entertaining, a good way to explain supernatural to everyone, including me. Brief historical accounts of religion, and love Morgan Freeman. Morgan is such good vibes to watch on Netflix. This is one of the most pinnacle series of anything I have ever seen, and it is really entertaining enough that I will skip docuseries tag for it. I love it. I literally will show this to kids to explain all of humanity's obsession with God, and I love how Morgan, irrespective of his own beliefs, treats all religious beliefs with respect, open mindedness and reverence. It was just acknowledgement instead of skepticism, and alot of cultural influence behind those beliefs. Though to be fair Egyptian fears and Mayan fears on the world ending if people stopped practicing their religion turned out to be exaggerated, though they are great belief systems, and have impressive cultural significance, and I believe they were ancient aliens that did have power and knowledge, so I can't answer if religion is relevant but it does seem to be a very pervasive phenomenon in humanity even for places that never have connected. This is absolutely worth watching once in your life, just completed the series. It is absolutely non preachy and feel good, and I have somehow developed reverence for all religions and spiritual practices in the world, I don't believe in all of them, but everything is beautiful in it's own way, we would lose alot of cultural beauty and ways communities get together if we lost even one of them as long as we do away with harmful practices religions come with. It is amazing that both Mayan and Egyptians build pyramids and revered the dead, even though they were never in contact with each other. All of it is absolutely beautiful.
