Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

It is the masterpiece of SI-FI shows, I hope to see it more action than being a detective show in future seasons.

Binge watched Season 1 twice in the past week. Not familiar with the book and never heard of cyberpunk until I read the reviews here. I judge it on its own and not in comparison to anything else. I am a huge fan of noir and liked this story from start to finish. Could have done without so much nudity but it makes sense given what humanity has become in this dystopian future. Visually far above what one would expect from a TV series. I had zero problems suspending disbelief and thought that all of the main characters were well cast, especially Joel Kinnaman. I can't wait to see where the story goes from here.

Of course Tak isn't a billionaire his patron Lauren is. I've only seen 2 episodes but I'm guessing Ortega becomes at least a partial ally. Besides doesn't Batman have some friction with the authorities? And Tak and Ortega seem to be sharing the Batman back story. I'm not a comic fanboy but I'm not an idiot. Cyberpunk my ass. Is the black guy going to be Robin? E3 is just beginning. The cinematography is good but so far the action scenes are average. Oh wait he's getting deadly utility belt gadgets. None of the critical reviews I scanned mentioned the Batman copy. But the too perfect, too pat, too cool, too much explanation was mentioned. So will it be a Maltese Falcon/Chinatown lie fest or revive Monk to add some schtick? Oh wait Monk wouldn't be cyberpunk. Question for comic fanboys. Back in the day, didn't superheroes have regular people problems? How can people relate or care about this stuff? I forgot this is junkie nation, of course supercool is the new normal

First two episodes are really impressive. You are getting ever more convinced the real cinematic experience moved to the tv shows. It looks solid, expensive and conceptual to some extent. This is however beginning to fade away with each following episode. You never reach the point you become sympathetic with any of the characters and their motives. They look pointless and predictable. The plot twists are predictable and it feels like they are strictly following a manual or a textbook without actually changing the examples. I am not familiar with the source but it seems it is not a very good one. Dialogues are rushing but they lack any real philosophy. Since the show is pretty gory and sexually explicit it is obviously not aimed at kids but it has no depth for adults. The "deus ex machina" touch is overused and it makes the whole tv show naive and boring. And the final blow comes with the forced samurai saga in the last few episodes. All in all a decent show but not a great one.
