Notnomlynis this nothing like the original other than name the writing is horrible Just flipped on this on tv a few min ago while waiting for my wife to get home They had s03e15 playing and OMFG I was not sure if I should laugh or cry at the absolute load of BS bad writing they were trying to shovel Garbage like "shipments of ghost guns" that have killed "untold masses" Can the writers producers and even the on set armorer not take 5 min to at least try to educate themselves before spewing this nonsense?

Then a few min later you have the new supergirl addition that's taking on all the bad guys that are all 10plbs plus her size and supposedly all exmil etc etc but she's walkijng through them like they were grade 2 brats needing a spanking..

Even if you ignore the linage of the original show this remake is such absolute trash its pathetic....

Seriously... even as a base grade formulaic shoot bad guys blow up car /house/ somethin and good guys go home they botched that basic goal..... and missed the entire plot of the original

No shock RDA cant stand this remake

Irony as well the anti gun rhetoric drips off this trash in spades and yet they rely on the very same tools for 90% of their content hypocrisy knows no limits with this trash writing...

The show is ok.. however these 2 bumbling hosts are not the experts they claim to be by any means There are things that are flat out wrong and massively wasteful for the ppl getting shafted with the bill And there are idiotic things that is either beyond poor editing or the hosts are even more bumbling idiots

Ie s1e2 the aluminum wiring. Their claims that it MUST be rewired to copper and that alu wiring could start a fire with a snap of his fingers etc This is not true at all Yes alu wiring is not used anymore for good reason and there are safety aspects to dealing with such that dont apply to copper.

However it is not that bad and any qualified electrician should be easily capable of dealing with such to adapt it to any updates needed and done in a perfectly safe manner Its so easy to deal with there is even socket/switch markings explicitly designed for identifying use for alu and copper

This also is another massive red flag of the bad editing or them being idiots since any inspection of the house pre-purchase would have easily found this so it would never be a big bad news shock etc again given the age of the home as well it would automatically be something that would be checked for by default

So enjoy the show but dont rely on the info these 2 bumbling buds present as the truth....

To quote the great Monty Python: run away run awayyyyyyyy

Bloody hell the garbage being shoved out on the poor public this yr is never ending and this like of stinking crap is no exception

Just do yourself a fav... skip it don t even think of giving it a try. I already sacrificed that slice of time I'll never get back learn from that.

Aw Emma.. how can you be so cruel to your own career?

Seriously you can actually act unlike many, you have generally been smart in the roles you have picked and you can even at times help save what would otherwise be far far worse w/o you in it but this steaming pile.. the fact that it is the unmitigated ongoing disaster of disney should have been a massive warning

And this its another cheap attempt by the greed machine that disney has become to rob the pockets of people for what is at best sub par grindhouse wannabe movies that no one asked for

Now in your case your career will survive this black mark I'm sure the fact you can act helps a lot there but in the future you might want to really think long and hard on it the juice is worth the squeeze or if its tainted wannabe tang knockoff by ripoff central aka Disney.

For those that have not seen this.. do yourself a fav dont it sure as hell is not worth the $$$ disney is trying to get.. and if you must see it wait a few weeks it will be in the bargain bin or the trash ca where you can have it for almost what it's worth.

This ep shows bad writing and don was not speaking up ugh

Wst off we know Don actually has training with firearms since he was given such for MV..

Yet the dolt writers for this ep have him saying to kelly at the 12min mark a comment about her plan with a 5 clip 32 cal gun

DON... holy hell you mustache been sleeping to let that blunder pass that day....

Sadly this is all too common evenin good shows due to writers being very lazy and or dumb.... maybe one day they will take 5 min to learn the very basic proper terms before making asses if themselves with FAIL like this... but I'm not holding my breath...

"Crayon Zombies!" Afterschool Special + Walking dead + snowflake central = OMG this might just be the end of TWDs long run of success... it just might be an EPIC FAIL level extinction event...

Its like TWD as handed over to Ewe Bol only worsel!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Warning!! NOT a PC safe space bubble wrapped wet nappy review... so you have been warned you cant compain! No explicit spoilers included either.. though there are some info bits that some could conder such in a vague way.. so if you wish to completely avoid any even remotely possible bits of that sort you have also been warned (Not like you are missing much however if anything spoliers keepng you from wasting your tim on this could be considered doing you a big favour!)

Seriously... the entire thing falls apart in the very first few minuites by the absoluely absurd claim that Portland survives the EOTW... that city is such a mess in the real world that they can't survive w/o being cated to beyond any sense of reason or sanity.. and with the cold hard reality of actual life being ignored by such.. If TEOTW happened tomorrow Portland wouldnt last 10 days neermind 10 years+.. seriously... this is the home of the Evergreen college whiners that need the current world bubble wrapped and demand their safe spaces.. Zombies would obviously be more upsetting that make believe absurd microagression BS.

Even the beginning/intro to this new spinoff is .. well.. childish would be an apt term IMO.. Not the sylizer graphic art of TWD or FTWD... but a soy boy rainbows and hugs painted zombie sort of effect instead,, itss just NOT believeable at all..

The entire thing is so tame my 5 yr old watched for this for a few min (He absolutey LOVES zombies.. and is dressing up as such for halloween this yr obviously) and he was laughing at the TV!!!! Seriously.. he pointed and said it to the opening of the show was "Crayon Zombies!"

But back to the series.. granted I have only watched the first ep so far.. so who knows,, maybe somehow they can pull a rabbit out of a zombies ass and at least make me laugh at the sdness of how pathetic this one is so far.. and I alays aim to be fair and give a show a chance to settle in.. and imprrove... i almost always give a show at least 6 ep+ yo find itsfooting.. though there have been some exceptions that are so horrifyingly bad ive killed such by the end of the 1st.. same as a few really crap movies that I've turned off unfinished to save my sanity

TNG took a season+ for example to really find it grove.. as did Voyager and others.. and some seasons of TWD etc have been betterthan others but it has consistantly found its way back on track w/o an extinction event happening.... but now with current disasterous crap daring to call itself Star Trek ie: Discovery.. which stars a former TWD alum... (massive downgrade for her career) it was so absolutly pathetic that even after the end of the 1st season it had not improved.. it got WORSE!!!

The overall stink-o-meter is bouncing off the "Kathleen Kenedy" and "Ryan Johnson" zone.... and that is a VERY VERY BAD sign.. I seriously am hoping that such a fate has not what is happening to TWD universe... (Though given AMCs insane butchery of movies and genera HUA syndrome.. one can never know)

I will say that beyond the after school special feel the writing of it is also so far beyond absurd its sad.. thay've tried shoving crap into this that it feels like a rejected plotline from a Degrassi Highs spinoff... its beyond absurdly predictable dumb teenage mistakes.. its crap that even the dumbest teen would know better than to try in TWD universe.. since if they were not smarter than such theyd have been long dead before hitting puberty. Not to mention the total absurdity of a girl thats supposedly very smart but was rattled by one zombie that was never in a position to really be a threat to her safety.. and that hasnt even gown up enough to have even DATED.. seriously... post end of the world here and the odd of any teenage with no lack of other teens around NOT having alreaady had sex nevermind basic dating... the absurd-o-meter exploded beyond repair at that level of /facepalm

Oh and the MUSIC!! Was there a gas leak in the exec offices when hey green lit this... its beyond unsuitable.. its beyond bad and it sure as hell is NOT going to ever be a classic musical pick like the Gonk no matter what they were smoking when approving that...

PS An Old Oki printer... seriously? Those are so old that even the poorest universities have thrown them out decades ago.. and are only evver used now in museums or for the very very very rare case of someone needing to still use carbon copy printing systems.. Nevermind the fact that thsy dont showw a snigle piece of hardware at all within its vicinity that could provide any sort of input signal to make it actually print.

There really needs to be a standard for"true story" so called historical dramas....

While this could have been a good display odf acting skill. proper production values and good cinematograpphy while also being a good honest example of histor portrayed on film so as to help themasses actualy lean history..

its NOT

Hence why yet again I say that for someone to say "true story" it really should be trying to be as accoate as possible.. vs the typical "based on" and the end result being a work of complete fiction told to misdirect the narritive in a manner not dictated by the facts but rahter by an agenda.

I wont spoil the plot or story line.. but for anyone that actually wants to learn about actual history I suggest skipping this entirey ssince you wont lern the truth here.. and by effect thereof the proucers of this sort of lie do everyone a disservice in the end.

Oh and before some jump on the "omg hes hating the " typie crap.. I'm not only one of those that has defended your rights as Americans I'm also not an American and dont live in the US., so I dont ave any skin in your political race per se. This Canuck actually prefers the truth over thinly disgised twisted propaganda.

I will say howeverr Its sad how many that yell and scream and act like spoiled brats can expend all of that energy rioting and other non-sense yet not spend even 10 min actually fact checking that which they are throwing a tantrum about.. perhaps one day they will grow up but I'm not holding my breath on the bubble wrap generation

Seriously... right from the description alone it gives away the extremely unimaginative writing

"becoming a super-sleuth in her own right as she outwits her famous brother "

The desperate bs of hollywood as of late trying everything they can possibly do to not just do "girl power" but to try to replace any male character.,. and do it 'better" (Michal from the abysmal Star Trek Discovery anyone? How about the gut wrenchingly bad mary sue aka Rey.. from the disnitified Star Wars (aka abysmal desetruction of one of the most beloved franchises in cinema history)

Sorry but there is good reason why movies are bombing and studios are loosing billions.. get woke go broke isn't just a passing phrase..

Do yourself a fav and skip this drivel that at best should have been relegated to 3 AM on the womens network before being burned...

Its certainly time I will never get back sadly and I've seen some truly horrible flicks.. this insipid crap is even less entertaining than Ewe Boll's garbage.. since at least his is so bad you cant help but laugh at the fact he trying to be serious..

PS NO I'm not some misogynistic woman hater etc etc before you make foolish assumptions. Give a good well written character and the SEX shouldn't matter.. (unless its the lame attempt to force a sex change as hollywood is desperate to do) something hollywood is too dense to grasp.. and while they desperately try to push their garbage and complain and whine misogyny etc when people hate it they conveniently skip right over excellent strong female leads.. like Sigourney in dozens of films... Princess Lea, Sarah Connor in the original Terminator and T2.. past that point that series wen t to crap and the last was so bad a plate full of dog diarrhea would be more authentically artistic... How about Laura Croft? and never mind WONDER WOMAN.. But no they don't care for .. reasons..

Well other that star rating jeffkastners review said it very well.. wow .. it should be retitled "how to take a stunning cast that can act and put everyone into a coma"

Holy crap.. great premise.. seriously stacked deck for casting.. and after max 10 min the downhill slide begins and is beyond an unsaveable pile of total crap at the end.

Seriously.. Scott Cooper as a director is almost as much of a disaster with this as the moron ryan johnson was with disnified star wars.. Hell even Use Boll didn't put you into a coma.. (he just made you want to kill him , the morons that kept giving him $$$ or yourself instead to try to erase his horrid "films" from your memory)

I'd ask for a refund but I think I might still be in a bad nightmare in the coma this movie has induced....

End result.. DISASTER

Seriously valid real life subject.. good actors.. reasonable theory of how to do X but it seemed more an anti-violence agenda than a thriller about real justice vs the terrorists that maimed and killed XXXXX # of people in the name of their religion

Sorry but in the end a reasonable flick but SS certainly could have done far better imo esp given he didn't lack funds or acting talent.

Therefore while its not a bad film per se it is not an award winning class some think it is. so i give it a pass at 6 stars.

Seriously.. LS is a blatant RACIST (yes he real meaning the word nut the slap on label as per usual snowflake morons that use racist, nazi etc and dont even understand the meaning o the words), massively self entitled, fem-nazi man hating beyond unfunnny embassment for all Canadians. (Make no mistake, she was born here to wealthy imigrant parents from India, but sure hell does NOT act like a typical Canadian to say the least!)

This show is essentially more of the same garbage as found on her youtube channel ( and despite it being blatantly in breach of the YT TOS repeatedly YT continues to never enorce their own rules on her due to blant political agenda BS)

As for the show... the only joke involved at all is on those foolisly expecting actual comedy and entertainment from this steaming POS.. seriously.. its nauseatingly bad and the fact some moron has chosen to try to push this garbage onto mainstream TV says a lot regarding just hhow massively biased and pathetic the network idiots are.

Whats even more sad is the try to push LSs blantly racist anti-freedom crap yet the same sort of execs had a meltdown over roseanne's aking an actual JOKE in a tweet that was not even a part of her work for the TV show...

The dictionary needs to have a picture of those execs etc etc beside the word hypocrite

Oh and rottentomatoes logo should in there for the word propoganda

Those reviews warning you away you need to heed!!! They are spot on unlike the obvious shill reviews.

Monty Python said it perfectly regarding this disaster attempt at Scifi.: RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAYYYYYYYY!!!!!

This series couldnt be worse even if pandoras box had every STD in the galaxy! Special effects are so bad overall that better can be easily found from the 70s!!! Im not kidding! Given modern CGI capabilities better quality could be done on my smart phone!!!

The writing is a disaster.. the acting.. well lets just say it dosnt matter and the one pathetic attempt to hint at using the main actresses's body (aka sex sells) was so poorly done you can find better acting and directing in almost any old porno flick.. you know the master dialog/plot:

person1: Hi person2: Hi person1: heres your pizza person2: I dont have any money but... etc etc meanwhile the undoubtedly empty pizza box is the actual star of the show...

SFi can be done very well including on a budget. Dark Matter was a KILLER example of this.. but pandora is the flip side and sadly the only way I can think of making this steaming pile worse would be having ewe boll involved! In fact I intentionally gave it a whole 2 instead of a 1 since hes not involved afaik... though IMDB needs to seriously add a ZERO or NEG rating option IMO

My wife and I appened upon this little gem by accident way back when it was new.. decided to give it a shot and enjoyed its entire season. Sadly some dolt killed this series.. a big mistake as is easily seen by its IMDB rating alone. It could have been better sure but nothings perfect and in our opinion it easily was worth the time spent

Suffice to say the series is worth the time to watch for a light hearted laugh and while it is not currentlyly avail on bluray etc etc there are some sources still where the entire 1st season can be ound with a little digging. :)

I also advise everyone ignore the retentive rantings of reviewers like "reapersgames" whom obviously needs to get out more and spend less time worrying about what others do and more introspection oh his/her own obvious failings.

1st off ignore the rather absurd title.. its not well named IMO

Now take Sam's talent instead and applied as it was for this flawed but deinately unique film and you have something that really is different and itt'll as other have said be a love it or hate it movie.

Is it one to add to the vault in max quality? No cant say it is It'll never be a movie most will want to watch over and over and over. But it sure as hell was worth the time spent IMO and unlike so many movies esp in the last few yrs.

This is not pointless drivel or yet another idiotic lame ass attempt at virtue signaling or pushing yet another lame tired BS political agenda which has zilch to do with the movie at hand. ie: Its not a Disney product like Captain Marvel (See my review or details) with the beyond no talent but overblown ego known as Bree.. or worse yet (and thats very hard to do) the steaming pile of garbage aka black panther..

So it you want something with more depth than disneys drivel and have 90min avail.. odds are this movie will be a good bet and it certainly willl make you use your grey matter ar more vs the typical BS spewed outta holllywood esp. as of late.

Visually STUNNING Intelectually STUNTED

No one will fault the amazing CGI work Visually it reminds me of Valerian Sadly writing wise its just as much of a mess..

Hugo is the only real "Name" from the main cast and as usual his performance is very good. His acting skill is superb and he did in V a performance that would cripple most actors.. with a mask seriously hampering hhis ability to convey meaning, feelings and emotion to the audience he pulled it off in spectacular fashion IMO. But that said even the acting skill he displayed in V and many other roles could not alone save this pathetic mess of a movie.

Jackson has brought us some absolutely brilliant films with the LOTR trillogy.. and even the Hobbit was above average (despite idiootic $ grubbbing execs forcing it to be 3 films. They should have followed JRRs originnal plan there).. but he has also failed at times as well and this movie is definately one such example.

Watch it if you have 2 hours a BIG screen to appreciate the visuals.. but dont waste $ buying it and dont nab it just because of credits for Jackson or Hugo being there..

Its simply too much of a mess.. and ultimately falls flat on its face regardless of actors, producers..

I give it a 4 only due to the visuals and Hugos performance.. and thats barely a 4. I have seen far worse but thhis had potential which was wasted with too many cooks in the kitchen.. or at least thats the impression I and many others I know got after watching it

100% guaranteed this will NEVER make the Criterion collection list

At the end the creators display this info

"This film was inspired by many folktales, fairytales and written accounts of historical witchcraft, including journals, diaries and court records.

Much of the dialog comes directly from these period sources.

All I can say is your sources SUCK! Holy hell slow burn my ass slow burn at how horrifyingly bad this pile of crap is.. it desperately wants to create a creepy scary atmosphere.. it falls flat on its face to say the least.

For that do yourself a favour and watch "The Descent".. it hands down succeeds on that count in spades.. and get the Euro ending not the lame ass US version!

I didnt pay for this movie.. thankfully.. but despite that I swear I should be billing the amature clowns that foisted this crap upon the world for the ti,e I sadly will never get back

I could include spoilers as well but there is no need how can anyone spoil somethis this coma inducing???

Also before you foolishly assume I am not one of the short attention span putz reviewers thaat can't handle slower moving films.. glacial paces does not mean bad BAD means BAD and on that this film is BAD.. hence why the 1 star.. I sadly can't give it lower... believe me it deserves lower!

90min runtime... felt like 90 weeks...

Wtf???? seriously WHY??

This utter crap is desperately trying to compete with Ewe Boll forhow bad crap can be that some tard threw $$$ at..

Throw the $ my way instead I could make something better using a decade old cell phone camera and farting in its general direction..

The sad part is thats NOT a joke... anyone's farts would be oscar winners in comparison!!

/facepalm @ how in bloody hell this crap ever got made nevermind actually broadcast!!!

The controvery over BLs idiotic rants was more entertaining

Special effects + bad writing + bad acting from a very forgettable lead does not a good movie make

Add to that the absurd feminist crap they are desperately trying to shove down everyones throats just adds to the level of a bomb this movie is

The sad part is just like the backlash over the last jedi the tards in charge still firmly have their heads up their arses and refuse to listen

Stop the policics crap, stop trying to shove progressive garbage into movies

GOOD writing plus at least decent acting seems t be a lost art and the more idiots like BL open their mouths the more we all end up loosing since whhat could have been good is instead a steaming pile of crap.. and then t wont end up making actal good movies in the future due to the financial failures caused by such arrogance and attacking the FANS

End result... they got zero $ from me or any of dozens of my friends whom refused to go see this movie due to BLs crap I watched it since I got to waste the time for free and ultimately end result is I want that lost time back,,, even having a nap would have been a better was to spend that time

Meh would be too nice for this bland garbage. skip it you are not missing out and by skipping it you also help drive home the point of attacking the fans or trying to shove politics where it does not belong is a very bad idea.

3 stars 2 fr SJs acting and 1 for special effects zero starts get added for the rest of this drivel

I really did expect the worst.. its not despite my almost wishing it was

Now thats said its a sad attempted ripoff of the original.. its watchable but ONLY because of its original basis and compared to so much utter crap being spewed out of lunatic PC hollywood this is thankfully mild in comparison

The swap for Higgins was not needed but is barely passible if such a change must be forced in. The obvious PC black female shoehorned in MAC change is cringe worthy at best..

And god forbid they try to do anything even remotely capable of upsetting the snowflake sjw femnazis with humor that dosnt need to pass the "sniff test" that is constantly shoved down our throats by the hypocritical tards in charge of trying to push an agenda instead of focusing on good writing

The unmitigated current disaster wanabe Star Trek garbage aka Discovery is a shining example of that.. and CBS scared to hell of the Orville.. which ironically is vastly superior IMO desspite it starting life as a parody of sorts.

So new Magnum a win? No cant say it is.... but it is not a total failure either unlike so much garbage as of late (Ghostbusters, Oceans 8, Discovery, etc etc)..

Undoubetedly the best part of the new reboot is the HD film quality but sadly lacking 4K still for some moronic reason.. seriously what are they doing in that area????? Its a idiotic as filming in HD and only releasing it on DVD format. (somhing sadly all too common esp here in canuchistan)

Will I continue watching? Yeah probably unless they make it worse than it is now.. there is massive room for improvement needless to say however.. and given the limited choice for "new" shows this currently is one of the least offensive to speak But that is still walking a very thin shrp edge and one mis-step and the new Magnum will undoubetedly castrate itself

ie: dont try to shove in more PC agenda lunacy no absurd forced non-binary/trans/whatever the snowflake theme of the week is.. put your noses down and try to do some good original writing instead and the show will improve.. try to push in more changes in the basic original structure for NO GOOD REASON like the MAC stupidity and itll be a kiss of death.

Especially for the fans of the original whom are not the "can't wipe their own rear ends without an assistant while whining incessantly" generation aka we dont all get trophys just for showing up.. thats idiotic and if you try to feed us that absurd garbage expect a backlash accordingly.

I know I am not alone in saying we are fed up with that coddling crap and we demand better.. or you loose viewers which means loosing $$ and that is ultimately what the execs care about in the end.

Therefore considering all of it so far and giving it time for cast melding etc (no show is perfect right out of the gate) I've therefore thought carefully and have given it a generous rating of 6..

There is enough there to have promise if polished properly and improved accordingly but not so bad as to be an unpolishable turd unlike the majority of such esp in the last decade..

/facepalm

OMG what a pointless boring horrific waste of time and acting skill. Great actors sure.. I can't blame them at all as all three have more than proven themselves elsewhere... but for this movie but that didn't help one iota

However that said.. this movie while I wanted to like it was horrific! I've watched some really bad sh*t over the years.. including many very pathetic B movies that had a budget of a case of beer that were better done.. (Check out my other reviews for examples of some really bad movies)/.

Seriously though.. the director has crafted what can only be called a pointless steaming pile of crap.. this movie was so bad did something shocking to those that know me and how many movies I've watched..

I TURNED IT OFF mid movie!!!!!

It's insanely rare for me to ever turn off a movie before watching it all (barring emergency/other obligations etc obviously).. well this was one of those few.. I just couldn't take it anymore.. it was putting me into a coma!!

Seriously.. it was so absolutely pathetic I killed it after forcing myself to suffer through aprox. 2/3 in the desperate hope that it would somehow get better. That somehow the acting talent presented in the 3 leads would somehow get to shine... that hell some idiot on set would accidentally knock over the nearest pail of water onto the power cables to shock some life into this pathetic mess..

Sadly this was not to be.. do yourself a huge favor.. DON'T waste the time even starting to watch this piece of crap..

The really sad thing is I'm always comparing bad movies by default to anything Ewe boll has touched... and he's so far out to lunch he thinks hes god gift to cinema while being the opposite in reality.. and this pos excuse for a morie does to tbe best of my knowledge not involve him at all.. scary thought..

The director should b so far beyond ashamed of this it's not funny... and the 3 main leads.. god help their careers if they ever sign on with him or anything this bad ever again.. I doubt their careers would survive such again regardless of their acting skill.

In the great wise words of Monty Python and this movie:

RUN AWAY!!! RUN AWAYYYYYYYY!!!!!
