Dissapointing in every way possible.

Wow. Ive never been more dissapointed in a piece of clothing. First, the waist runs a touch small fresh out of the bag. Probably .5-1 under advertised size. Next the material is almost stiff enough they could stand up on their own. Lastly, with how they sit on your waste, there ia FAR too little crotch room.

God forbid you wash these and put them in a dryer. My 38 waist paints which were already borderline, are less than a 34 measured waist after one standard 45 minute dry cycle. FOUR INCHES of waist shrinkage in one dry cycle. The most unbelievable thing I've ever seen. Not to mentioned they're still WAY too stiff after washing with fabric softener. Would never recommend these

While I was really hoping for this game to overthrow Till The End of Time (which in my opinion is the best game in the series), this game unfortunately feels like a step backwards in almost every game mechanic that there is. The characters would be very likable if the presentation of everything wasn't crap. The story doesn't move me. The camera sucks. The only real good thing about this game is the battle and progression system. But the story and presentation of all this games' content don't really make me feel like there's anything worth fighting for in this game.

Please just do a PS2 to PS4 of Till The End of Time, or just stop making mediocre games altogether. Very disappointed and I hate to say it like that

I have been a fan of Star Trek since I was old enough to watch TV.  I have seen every episode and played nearly every game that has ever come out.  This is by far the worst.  The controls are terrible, not just in a watered down sort of way (which they are) but also sluggish.  They took what should be an incredibly complex movement scheme, piloting a starship and dumbed it down to the point where it feels like you are instead piloting a children's bicycle with both of your arms in casts.

Next we will go to the awful weapons.  Yep they shoot.  Beam weapons always hit their target....so long as you can find your target with the screwy lock system.  Torpedoes on the other hand are complete moronic.  Sometimes you can be right on top of an enemy ship, fire 5 Torpedoes and all of them miss...  Sometimes you can warp out of a range and be behind obstacles...like planets and a torpedo will find you.  When they DO hit a target its not that instant gratification though.  They tend to swirl around the shift for a while like those old donations bins at the mall where you put a quarter in a slot and watched it go sideways down a funnel.  This animation looks terrible.

Now the biggest issues.  Camera Angles.  What where they thinking?????  The camera spins out of control, and you lose complete focus on whatever you were looking for.  Even when it does what you say it makes the process slow and tedious.  I have went through entire encounters without seeing what I was shooting at.

I hope after this train wreck the programers gave up on gaming and started working in furniture stores where they couldn't do any other franchises harm by putting out worthless crap like this.

I read all the way through this waiting for it to get better. It doesn't. The ending is everything, no just disappointing. The ending of nothing, just playing nothing. This is just one of those books that makes you say "I just want these hours of my life back".

Dissapionting . Not only this movie but the whole trilogy. They took what was almost a short children's book that could be read in a little more than a day and tried to make it into a 3 movie epic. Frankly I think they failed. I watched it once but never again.

Very disappointed. The maps are awful, Ghost remakes and worse. The wall walking/jump packing gets tiring fast. The weapons? Lack of imagination & vision. The whole game experience plays like BOIII was rushed by the accountants. YMMV.

I initially expected, but then, as the movie went on, hoped for and and finally despaired, over finding even the most modest redeeming quality in this movie. With all sincerity, I found this to be absolute dreck.

Even with the shortcomings of the first book in this series, I was looking forward to reading HTO II. I wasn't expecting a literary epic, but I figured at the very least Id enjoy a fun read. I was terribly disappointed. This book was riddled with every clich I would have enjoyed as a testosterone fueled, adventure seeking teenage boy. But I had other problems with this read as well.

If I recall correctly, their journey from Houston to the ranch was retold through narrative no less than three times. I can understand doing this once for the benefit of those who had not read the first book. But anything more than once is just word count filler and fluff.

I struggled with POV several times; especially in the beginning. There were a few times when POV changed from one paragraph to the next. And one time, we went from Bishops POV to an omniscient POV; again, from one paragraph to the next. The super long chapters in this 217 page book made this even more confusing to me.

The editing was sloppy at best. There were a handful of typos which should have been caught. Im also trying to figure out who Mata Tari is. I think the writer meant, Mata Hari.

The annoying comical banter from book one between Bishop and Terri continues in book two. Its not that couples don't talk this way, but it seems that thats the only way these two communicate with one another; 24/7. And in the rare times when they do communicate in a serious manner needed to move the storyline forward, the dialogue and character actions are rife with soap opera worthy clichs.

I also thought this book was going to be about The Independents; a rogue, but powerful group of patriots that have organized in opposition to a wounded government trying to regain control. Nope. This book was about gold, and how Bishop deals with a Columbian drug lord whose wife and child were kidnapped by Mexican drug lords. Bishop is caught in the middle of this drama and has to deal with this throughout the book. The Independents are mentioned only sporadically here and there, and its only towards the end of the book that their storyline is addressed in any significant way.

One issue that I had and has nothing to do with the book or its author was; my 2 day guaranteed delivery turned out to be 4 days  an Amazon/UPS issue. Secondly, the font and the amount of words crammed into a single page were difficult to read. This may be a, blind as a bat issue, or a cost issue for the author. Sorry, I still like the feel of a real book and physically turning a page  no ebooks for me. Regardless, my two star rating is based solely on what I read.

I am now on the fence about buying and reading book III.

Just about everything they could do wrong...they did wrong.  The interface is absolutely awful. The characters move in this pokey slow manner that make you want to scream.  Getting at spells goes through a multi level menu.  The combat is almost exactly like the old turn based Pool of Radiance from five or six years ago. I take a shot, then you take a shot then he does, etc.  Utterly lame.  The adventure is completely linear.  It gives you no choices and leads you by the nose.  Often you don't even have a choice of right or left since the dungeons tend to lead you in a line as well.  When you level up the machine decides how to allocate your feats and skill points for you.  Please, please, please save your money.  Buying this would only encourage them to put out more garbage.

The show itself is great, but sadly Funimation gave it one of the worst releases in recent anime history.  First of all, like many Funi titles past and present, the episodes are overly compressed and the video suffers as a result.  Color banding, digital artifacts, and background noise are quite prevalent and very distracting.  I have seen bootleg DVDs that look better than this one.  Funimation was starting to get better when they were only doing 4 episodes a disc, but it's become quite obvious with releases like this that they cannot handle the now fairly standard 6 episodes per disc.

Second of all, the dub was just awful. Funimation has put out some bad dubs in recent years, like Kodocha and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, but Ouran takes the cake.  Once again, instead of putting though into their casting, they just simply took the route of using the "Hot VA's" of the moment.  So we get stuck with Vic Mignogna and Caitlin Glass in roles they truly do not fit.  In fact, their performances are so off, it drags the rest of the performances down, which is a shame.  Greg Ayres and others in the cast turn in truly great performances, but the laziness of Vic's and Caitlin's performances nearly ruin them.

The show itself should bet 4 stars, but this release is 1 or 2 stars at best.  Funimation should really be ashamed of this one.  I was really looking forward to this show, but these DVD sets have been a huge disappointment.

After 2 theatrical releases I really expected alot more from this flick.
First off the advertisement led me to believe, at some point in the film, I would be seeing some sort of spooky, decaying doll.
But that just never happens.
And second off, Nacho Cerda's previous film Aftermath/Genesis was both; off the wall & artistic. With almost no spoken dialogue what-so-ever.
I was kind of expecting something as extreme, or as artistic.
What I got instead was a movie that starts out with potential,
but ends up being kind of bland.
The dialogue being the 400 lb. gorilla that weighs it down.
The only scene in the entire movie that can be construed as extreme,
is when the guy is getting his face eaten by a wild boar.
Anyway;
The first scene sets up the stories past.
This is then followed by a long-winded intro.
Which then leads to even more dull dialogue.
And after about a half an hour the scares start, which predominantly consist of seeing a ghost and running away.
To be honest, the scariest part of the movie is the setting.
The abandoned family farm-house is just about the creepiest place you're ever likely to see in any horror movie.  And to be stuck there alone in the middle of the night.  Not on your life.
The ghosts that inhabit said farmhouse, are dopplegangers of the main protagonists, who've returned home after 40 years.
And when their dopplegangers get hurt, so do they.
But not that you care, because the characters are so boring to begin with.
What ensues is alot of senseless running around and multiple bouts with unconsciousness, followed by confusing lapses in continuity.
After what seems like an eternity, we're finally given the explanation of what this is all about, provided via flashbacks into the past.
Not that it makes much sense when you finally find out, mind you.
But the past sequences are the best story this movie has to offer.
The conclusion does nothing to clear up any of the confusion, but instead adds even more kindling to an already incoherent fire.

Ultimately; you should only buy this,
if you're into dream-like movies that are all about style over substance.
But if you're a fan of Nacho Cerde, you might be very disappointed, by the lack of gore and surplus of droning dialogue.

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Much like Grandma & Grandpa, the past should remain dead & buried.

**some spoilers** This book was so throughly disappointing that I wish there was a way to return it and get a full refund.  It wasn't necessarily because of the way it ended, I could have lived with her choice if it didn't seem so random and the entire story didn't feel so rushed! The Marid plot line was so contrived and obviously only created so the book could have some added drama and come to a close as hurriedly as it did. I doubt any readers were surprised at how Marid ended up acting, it was so predictable it hurt. Way to ruin the foundation of the relationship America and Maxon built with August and Georgia. Also, how lucky for Eadlyn that all her elite members magically seemed to eliminate themselves, be so understanding and self sacrificing. There was just so much squandered potential for character development only to arrive at an imperfect "perfect ending" for Eady.

This movie was barely mediocre at best. As soon as you hear Ellen (George) Muth's narrative voice, you'll notice that she sounds uninterested. Well , that's probably because the movie is uninteresting. Daisy's character is destroyed (now she's just some superficial airhead who lost all of her moral development as an individual), and Rube, one of the vital characters central to the balance of Dead Like Me, has randomly received his "lights" without any sign of a farewell. It's just not like him. In fact, none of the characters really stay true to their original selves. If you're a fan of the series, you'll most likely be disappointed, especially if you were actually attached and understood the characters. If you get a chance to watch the Special Features on the DVD, you'll notice that the new director states that he was "trying something new"...well, it clearly didn't work. To reiterate:

SPOILERS BELOW:

PROS:
-George finally meets and talks with her sister
-Dolores Herbig is still the same old lovable woman
-George is made the new boss of the reapers at the end

CONS:
- Rube is gone and he is replaced by some European "suave" gentlemen, or should I say [...], who is killed at the end anyways....yes, reapers can die now!
- Der Waffle House is gone (randomly burned down)
- Little to no connection with the original series
- Daisy's character is completely ruined
- Roxy is out of character
- Stewart Copeland is no longer the musical composer (the music sucks...)

BASICALLY THE SHOW HAS LOST ITS MAGIC. The variables that made it Dead Like Me have all been altered or removed.

You see for yourself. =)

First off, let me say i am a huge fully paid up, Four-DVD-box-set-carrying Futurama fan, as are all the members of may family. Not having time to watch the whole thing at first, we sat down on X-Mas afternoon and watched "Everyone Loves Hypno-Toad" in its entirety. Great, we thought, can't wait for later... What a disappontment. The only smiles came in the recognition of old faces.. it was more a roll-call than a movie. The plot was weak, the aliens' nudity unnecessary to the story and uninteresting, the anticipated romance sadly missing, the jokes thin on the ground. Al Gore had the funniest line, of course, but there wasn't enough of him - or of the series' funniest characters, such as Zoidberg or Zapp Brannigan. And there was way too much Hermes, the least amusing character from day one. Having him repeatedly decapitated just was not funny, sorry. And his wife, previously a dedicated spouse, was totally out of character in her race to replace her torso-less hubby with her old beau, Barbados Slim, who had way too many lines. The reading of the comic in the extras section was sadly a mirror of this movie - like Bender's Big Score, the comic series looks great.. until you start reading it. Just. Not. Funny. Ever! Hurts me to write this, but we were all just so very disappointed. Glory to the Hypno-Toad, say I, but everyone else - keep working on those other scripts - if it's not too late.

I was disappointed by almost everything in this movie. I couldn't watch past the first 45 minutes, the script was lame. The attempted humor fell flat. This had all the elements to make it a much better movie, and didn't take advantage of any of them. Sorry I paid for this one.

I am very disappointed in this DVD. The website previews should have clued me as to the quality (or lack of) of the DVD (they were terrible but I thought it was just the site). I watched the first 20 minutes of the DVD (which was all I could handle) and was struck by the following:

1. The transcoding is awful. Jerky beyond belief. I think someone got their PAL and NTSC mixed up. This *alone* makes the film unwatchable.

2. A wildly inconsistent color scheme that varies from flaming orange hues to dim blue black with no rhyme or reason; in the same scene! Utterly distracting.

3. Very dated special effects and awful mattes. Charitably some of the industrial design for the Martian technology was well done.

4. Screaming skeletons? When the first onlookers are zapped by the Martian heat ray they are flashed into skeletons that continue to scream and move! Huh? Even my 10 year daughter was wondering what was going on.

5. When the crowd presses in on the impact crater and the first Martian emerges we get long scenes of people staring, looking horror stricken. So long their impact simply fades away. Their greatest  indication of the pending horror is to put their hands over their mouths. This is acting?

With all the hype regarding it's faithfulness to the book I was hoping for something good and would have settled for much less but this film is a mess and deserves to be forgotten.
