Reviews

I'm not sure why the reviews are so low! Yes the plot is predictable and it's very cheesy. But I still really loved it! It's not Oscar worthy but it's a nice movie to just turn off your brain for a bit and just relax to. I'm a sucker for Hallmark/predictable romance story lines. And this movie falls right into that category.

I'm not Chinese so I would not be able to comment on the cultural parts of the movie. However I am Asian American so it was nice to see people who look like me on screen.

I did wish they put a little more screen time with the "five dates" since that's the premise of the movie. Also the "best friend" felt like a one dimensional character. Wish the friend had more character development.

Okay, so I kept seeing clips of this on Tik Tok and decided to finally watch it. The gym scene with the mom was what reeled me in. I went in expecting very little and I was pleasantly surprised! The movie was entertaining and kept my attention. Gave me modern "Scream" vibes with a touch of time travel. I really liked the PC inserts in the film. It gave a nice contrast to the 80s vibes.

The only complaint I had was the "killer". It didn't seem well planned out and the foreshadowing wasn't all that great.

Otherwise, the ending was cute and I really liked how everything wrapped up. It was a nice happy ending.

Was this perfect? No, it's very Disney. However this show is still absolutely amazing and l love the homage to the retro style of old Chinese films. My partner grew up watching the Monkey King as a kid and loved how they encorproated it to the story. And as an Asian American myself, the representation I felt made my inner child cry happy tears. I saw the sadness and frustration the dad Simon faced and it just directly mirrored my dad's own experience, looking "different" from everyone else and being the butt of the joke. And I love how they portrayed the mom! Not a tiger mom, but I felt how much she genuinely care for Jin and just wanted him to follow his dreams. Thank you disney, this one was a good one and I hope for more Asian heros and heroines in the future!

I couldn't get past the first episode because I felt so disturbed. These poor girls, I can't even imagine the horror these babies went through. Listening to their stories hits so hard.

What's with the negative reviews? This was a nice little movie and I did not expect to cry! Obviously it's nothing new or amazing, but a nice film to watch and the actors/actresses did a great job.

The movie is so slow paced and I was hoping for a good climax or a twist... something! But it just falls flat. The explanation at the end was so quick and there's no other context, no real motivation from the "villans"; just superficial and not well thought out. Don't waste your time, I honestly don't even know how this is rated so high.

I surprisingly enjoyed the movie. I mean it's cheesy and it's a musical, but the performances and modern songs were good! Loved Camila & Idina's vocals.

Seriously this is it?! The movie is boring and really just drags on. There were hardly any action or fighting scenes and what little they did have was very mediocre. It felt like a spy/agent movie and nothing as good as what Marvel typically puts out. It felt as if they didn't even bother with the story and just quickly threw together something and stuck "Black Widow" as the title.

I couldn't get over the cheesy narration and the negative messages in the show. So tired of this "bad boy" junk the media keeps shoving down our throats. Is having and working on a healthy relationship not a thing now?

Hard pass.

I'm still upset that they missed the mark at giving us the "90s vibe". It just felt very modern and I would often forget that it was supposed be "90s" until the music stated playing or I would notice their clothing/technology. The characters were also quite unlikeable and couldn't find myself rooting for any of them.

Hoping that the next part does a better job.

Cute rom-com and I want to say THANK YOU for that ending! It was so satisfying and definitely different than the usual stuff in the genre.

Okay, so I thought the 90s version was bad... until I saw this train wreck of a movie! The casting was absolutely terrible because they didn't fit their characters.

The main actor who played Cole is very stale and too boring to be the main character. And don't even get me started on Liu Kang. He looks so weak compared to the 90s actor!

The only interesting thing was Kano & Sub Zero. Kano's lines felt more natural than the rest of the actors. And Sub Zero was actually pretty dope. I just hated how his costume wasn't blue. It's his signature!

Season 1 was surprisingly great! They built relationships, flirted, and stayed true to each other. Season 2 was so boring, I couldn't even finish it. They just ganged up on each other and got super clique'y. Netflix always ruining a great series with Season 2!

As I was watching it, I thought, wow, this is great! What's with the low reviews... until I reached the last act of the movie. It had so much potential! The beginning was well established & had a great story with built up tension. I was generally freaked out. But then once the "climax" happened, it just got violent for no reason and cheesy. The tension went away and then it just... ended. I mean, come on!! Give me a twist ending or something!

Okay, the acting was pretty bad. It felt very flat and obvious that they are just "reading" from a script. Especially the main girl, she is so monotone and has no emotions! I couldn't stand how stale she was. And where is the Christmas spirit? The only Christmas-y thing is that it's a several days before Christmas.

But other than that, I wasn't expecting much from this except a simple cheesy movie to turn off my brain for a bit and enjoy. It isn't great, but definitely interesting enough to finish.

Not a horror story, but more of a ghost love story. The first half of the show was really slow, but it started to pick up towards the end. It doesn't compare to Hill House in terms of the horror, but Bly Manor has a decent story line. The best part of this series was the ending! It truly felt like a conclusion and made the story well rounded.

Overall, I wasn't blown away, but I wasn't disappointed either. Just... average.

I ignored the reviews and really tried to watch the series with an open mind. Growing up, I loved the 00s Twilight Zone & Outer Limits. But this series was just so boring! Great guest actors/actresses, but that's about it. The episodes would build suspense and tension, but then it all just falls flat! Even the 1960s series had more storytelling and twists!

Such a disappointment!

Feels like a Hallmark movie, but actually good! It has a sweet and feel-good atmosphere, while still tackling hard topics. The characters feel well-rounded, so I hope in the future they won't mess that up! I'm totally invested in the story and it is worth giving a watch.

This was so cringy, I had to turn it off within the first 20 minutes. This is definitely not kid-friendly and there's quite a lot of sexual innuendos! Is this for aimed for adults or kids? Also, the main character isn't very likeable and it was hard to watch.

This series is such a "feel good" show. It talks about some harsh realities in such a thoughtful way and I absolutely love how it is such a diverse cast. I Binged this in one day and I really hope they can continue it!

Overall the film very slow paced, but I kept watching just to see how it ends... and it's so disappointing! Seriously? No, seriously?? The ending was complete trash. Nothing makes sense and nothing is explained. Don't even waste your time with this movie.

Okay so... this movie wasn't great, but it was definitely tolerable. There's a lot of crappy films on Netflix and this was okay compared to most, just as long as you ignore a lot of the logic missing and several plot holes. It's an ok film to turn off my brain and just enjoy it.

Watching this show is like eating junk food, bad for you but you can't stop. Personally it wasn't too bad, but I just couldn't stand Jessica! She made me soooooo angry! I just had to skip her parts out so I wouldn't feel the need to throw something at my tv.

Season 1 was amazing and I was looking forward to season 2. Boyyy was I wrong! The overall feel of season 2 felt different and the new main actor just didn't fit the role. I can't put it into words, but he just didn't feel right as the main character.

I can't stand the characters, they just seem so weak and helpless. They story is interesting enough and a unique plot, but I just wish they made better decisions! I was literally screaming at the characters the whole time and just wanted to punch them all in the face. Everything was just so predictable and the characters had no redeeming qualities.
