I finished watching the limited series "69" on Netflix and that wasn't easy.

I would describe it as a "Thai" Elmore Leonard type crime story. I believe it has the worst acting and cast of characters
I have ever seen. It was so bad I stayed with it to see how much worse it could get and wasn't disappointed. I think it
is the number 1 bad series ever on Netflix.

More patient than I've ever been. Shows that don't get me interested after 30-40 minutes are done. hlthe2b Sep 2023 #1

and bad acting is a mortal sin in my book.

The former probably has me missing out on a lot of shows that start weak but get better so if I read several good reviews that point out the first episode or two are slow but get better, I might give a second look.

Not sure I could get through an entire record-setting bad series, though.

I rented it 4 years ago from Google Play. Excellent series. The opening credits are gripping and the music is emotion setting that tears at your soul.

*****/5

I just watched less than five minutes of 6ixtynin9 . I thought I would fall asleep.


I like bad movies that don't put me to sleep. RRR has an IMDB rating of 7.8 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8178634/

Three outrageous hours.

Don't ask me for a plot, because I didn't have a clue what was happening, all I know is that I absolutely loved what I just watched

9/10
probably the most brutally violent PG-13 in a while, plus a dance battle!

Have Never Seen Anything Quite Like This

RRR (Ridiculous Riveting Rampage) - a great time!

This movie is one of the greatest movies I've seen in my life not knowing that Indian movies would actually execute so well especially this one.

10/10
Makes you think how much American movies suck now.

It's brutal, ridiculous, action-packed, fun, entertaining, yet... again, brutal... Masculine. It has all these qualities modern American movies can't possibly have anymore, so no wonder this Indian movie is doing so well in the west.

Don't watch else be prepared to fail in Physics

A new level of cringe

Honestly. What on earth was I watching?

My face hurts from all the grimaces I must have unwillingly pulled.

3/10
Visually stunning, logically lacking

6/10
A decent comedy

Why did even watch this movie!!! You, please don't.

Is this the kind of movie we expect to see?

The story is supposed to be something about pre-independence struggle.

There is no storyline and all about mass and heroism. Not related to anything that happened in reality.

The movie sends a wrong message and I hate to see people giving 10/10 rating. Something is really wrong with us.

2/10
Illogical scenes
