The movie obviously has high production values, but like most Netflix projects with big actors it is fairly empty headed with virtually no suspense. |

Gandler Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 27 Posts: 4256 | That is a pretty good summation, and I completely agree with that review. I did start reading the book, its excellent, but only about 20% through, when I finish I may post about it in book section. |

I just watched Gray Man. I thought the story was decent but I hate action movies so I fast forwarded through about a quarter of the movie to skip all of the shootout scenes. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I actually use fast forward a lot when I stream Makes the shows more enjoyable if I can skip the BS Take Better Call Saul Some of the characters I like a lot like Nacho or Mike. I skip over a lot of Kim's stuff Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | Sandman, the 75 issue comic book series written over 20 years ago, considered unfilmable by many people, has been brought to life on Netflix by the comic book creator, Neil Gaiman. Rotten Tomatoes reviews were largely positive except only 1 out of 9 of the "top critics" rated it fresh. I've seen two episodes and I can see it dividing people. I keep thinking it has only been two decades since Peter Jackson wowed the world with computer graphic imagery in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but today such imagery is fairly common. |

Great graphic imagery has been an anime staple for decades. One of the reasons I like anime. Watched 2 episodes and part of episode 3 I may not finish Too much supernatural and no reality Kind of reminds me of Harry Potter with too much supernatural. I like supernatural but mixed with reality like Archive 81 which I think was brilliant. Find it hard to get into Potter or Sandman I may or may not watch the rest of Sandman Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

S1 E6 - The Sound of Her Wings ... Episode #6 was the first without an antagonist. You would think it would be dull, but it was suprisingly heartfelt. The beautiful Kirby Howell-Baptiste plays Morpheus's sister and Ferdinand Kingsley plays Morpheus's experiment turned friend. |
