A delightful comedy that is all about the main acting tandem and their scenes together, full of funny moments and obvious improvisations. Jamie Lee Curtis, in particular, blows the others away and I wouldn't be afraid to call her performance legendary. There's not much point in assessing the story – there's exactly what's needed for no shortage of cracking moments and hilarious gags.

Surprisingly disjointed action flick. At times the very ambitiously conceived action scenes with great visual effects and stunt work are brought to their knees by a cruelly clichéd script that should be about real characters and their motivations in the real world, but instead tells a tale of pseudo-spies and implausible bad guys. So, although it all makes some sense in the end, hardly anyone will want to see this, some great moments notwithstanding, rather austere, dark and too straightforward action movie, where the commando leader has to be black and female to make it all fair, more than once.

Growing up for rednecks, without DiCaprio, but with a fantastic performance by Timberlake, for whom "the older the better" applies like for some of his more famous colleagues. It's a bit saccharine in places, and it's not a tried-and-true older vintage, but thank goodness for any film like this, dealing with the intricacies of ordinary rural life. Still raw and focused enough to satisfy even the moderately demanding viewer who has seen a bit.

Courtroom sitcom. A serious topic, but one that is desperately sterile, slow, plodding, and devoid of drama. How this can be such a critically acclaimed hit in the US to the point that it’s supposed to be an instant classic is beyond me. I understand the portrayal of a legendary trial that is such a sensitive subject for the US, but from a cinematic standpoint, it's too much to fall asleep to after 30 minutes.

Another of those dark, slow detective story in the style of Se7en, or Mystic River, that is atmospheric, ingeniously put together and hard to read in its means of expression, going against the audience's expectations. A tense crime drama with fantastic performances by Jared Leto and the odd duo of Denzel Washington and Rami Malek. It's not a particularly good role for former, but he didn't disgrace himself. It's not for a second viewing, but the creative level is solid.

As an expansion to the Marvel Universe, it’s fine. I would call it an add-on that doesn't offend, it presents some new features and gadgets, but I wouldn't call it very exciting or, God forbid, a full-fledged movie, although it has its bright moments. The action is OK for a series, the visual effects are passable (except for a few minor things) and it has the drive and dynamism we've come to expect from Marvel. There is not much to say about the story, it does have a main plot, but the large number of characters and their confrontations in various situations are far more interesting. I’d be fine with a sequel, but it’s not necessary.

Instead of a dark fourth episode and the family-oriented fifth, we get an very much "by the book" political agitprop for black rights so blatant it's a little annoying at times, especially during the speech of the black (!) Captain America. The action was OK, the return of one of the bad guys who may have been a bit forgotten, and Sebastian Stan is such a charismatic guy, and while his character didn't get that much space in Avengers, is given just enough space here.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t keep the level. In the first few minutes maybe, but after that it looks like a 30 minute family reunion video. If the whole series ended here, it wouldn't surprise me at all.

Definitely the best episode so far and dramaturgically a completely different film than we have seen so far – darker, more depressing and more ambiguous. From an ordinary platform game where they jump, fly and kick once in this city and then in another, we move up a notch to a full-fledged male drama about choices and consequences. I hope they can keep the level until the end.

Madripoor looks a bit like a dodgy rip-off of Blade Runner, Riga is of course Prague and the dummies just jump from place to place without much of a charge. Fortunately, Emily VanCamp kicks more ass in her cameo in a few square metres than Falcon did in two episodes. Brühl, understandably, is also fine.
