A bit of a disappointment
on October 3, 2014
Posted by: NWPhotoGuy

Verified Purchase:Yes
The transformers movies have always been a popcorn indulgence - light on substance, but entertaining action fare. This one, not so much. It was unnecessarily long, with nothing to justify the length. You watch a movie like like this not expecting "Saving Private Ryan", but at least with the expectation that it will have enough of a plot to support the action set pieces. Here again - not so much. It felt less like an action blockbuster and more like the Saturday morning cartoon series that it was deriven from. Basically just a really, REALLY long transformers commercial for the vast number of products that dropped the advertising coin for this.

Solid and satisfying finish to a great story

Verified Purchase:Yes
Solid finish to the Richard Linklater "Before" series. This is a very satisfying conclusion to the story of Jesse and Celine. In a series of movies, especially one like this that walks the well-trodden path of couples relationships, it's easy to become self-indulgent and campy. This trilogy manages to tell a very believable and touching story of exploration and trust, hope and disappointment and the difficulty of just trying to be with someone. Before Midnight finishes this story in a way that brings satisfying closure without stroking it with an unrealistic Disney ending. Very much enjoyed the ride.

Funny from start to finish

Great ensemble of actors coming together to give standout performances in a funny send up of the Hollywood process. I was laughing from start to finish - from the cheesy fake previews to the "method acting" of Robert Downey Jr. And Tom Cruise as Les Grossman - freaking hilarious!

Intriguing story with nice pacing

Verified Purchase:Yes
An interesting story about not going along with the program and the potential consequence of choice. This is a clever story that maintains good tension throughout as it unfolds. The character interactions felt genuine and engaging, which allows for the empathy that is necessary for you to care about them as they travel through this story.

Clint and baseball - good American fun!
on June 15, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
Fun but familiar tale of the aging veteran and eager upstart doing battle. Clint is entertaining as ever, and Amy Adams with Justin Timberlake add some endearing moments. The story is definitely formulaic and followed a pretty predictable path from the start. But, as long as you don't go in looking to be too surprised, the performances are fun to watch.

Season 5 continues the fun...

The final season can be watched as stand alone episodes, but much better in order, as the back stories for the team continue. Special features are a bonus; episodes have commentary for each, deleted scenes and gag reels. The only problem I encountered was the severe volume swings during episodes. The low volume for dialogue jumps to high volumes for background music could be better balanced. Also, large volume swings in the menus versus volume in the episodes themselves.

The first three seasons of AMC's hit series The Walking Dead follows Sheriff Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his family as they as they struggle to make the harsh adjustments needed to live in a post-apocalyptic society populated by mindless, flesh-eating "walkers" and the oftentimes equally dangerous fellow survivors. The second season introduces a farming family that will become integral to the group's survival, while the third season leads to a prison that the unlikely friends hope will bring them enough security to rediscover their humanity and a semblance of normal life. Unfortunately, a mysterious man who refers to himself as the Governor (David Morrissey) threatens to destroy their new home and the already precarious relationships budding within.

Seasons 1-3 on Blu Ray for $70? Not even a question. Great to go back and watch again from the beginning in gorgeous HD anytime I want. Can't wait for season 4 to come out so we can do a Dead marathon to kick off season 5!

Just wow. Intense.

It's hard to imagine that you can go into this movie knowing what you know (just look at the title) and still be on the edge of your seat hoping and praying that, by some chance, things come out some other way. This is a gripping and intense ride through the chaos and mayhem of close quarters combat with soldiers that don't accept the possibility of defeat, and are willing to sacrifice everything if necessary for their country and each other. Get the movie, watch it, watch it again, then go and get the book. Many thanks to all that are willing to take up arms and stand in harms way for the rest of us.
