GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
mikaela-03646 American Ninja Warrior is a gem of a show that I hope they never cancel. It's completely enthralling and addictive, and leaves me waiting in front of the TV for the next episode to start. The obstacle course is so cool, and watching he contestants run it is even cooler, with each one adding their own personal style. You root for your favourites and boo the annoying ones, waiting every year to see if someone will win it all. The only thing I might change is the backstories. Some are inspiring, and it's sort of interesting to check up on your favourite ninjas, but overall they're just frustrating and waste a lot of time. Overall though, one of the best shows out there! (Oh, and obviously Jesse Labreck is fantastic!!!
kwakkles When this show started, it was great!!! I enjoy quite a bit the episodes circa 2012 (and thereabouts) with hosts Jonny Moseley, Angela Sun, and Iseman. That's lean meat, no fat.The producers and et al wanted this show to gain popularity. This show has gotten obnoxious as a result of their efforts.I tune in to watch athletes do crazy stunts and wow me with their athleticism. THAT'S WHY I WATCH. Nowadays, half the show is sappy backstories. There are 4 minute long back stories of each athlete. It's about the athlete working with mentally disabled people, losing family members by death, doing the ninja course for cancer, et cetera.If these lame stories were 20 seconds long, it'd be tolerable. But no, they are literally at least four minutes each. Then on top of that, lots of commercials.This show was a 9 out of 10, before it got ruined. I give it 4 out of 10.
Filvies144 I loved this show, but it has a 6.7/10 on here along with a 1 and 5 star out of ten reviews. Why!? Well I really like how unlike Wipeout, where the contestants are one dimensional and you laugh when they fail, the contestants get a back-story of their living and they are often kind-hearted, unlike some of the Amazing race contestants. It has cool obsticale course too. My only flaw here is how the back-story's are a wee bit long, and the commercials are too. This show does not deserve the hate and is just pure great. This is as good as the amazing race, a show that brings you to other countries. This deserves a 9/10 by me, and should go from 6.7 to an 8.6 average IMDb rating out of 10!
HighCountryBound If this year's incarnation of American Ninja Warrior is presented like in season's past, then it will be a complete waste of time. I started watching this two years ago but had to stop after just a few episodes because they took about 08 minutes worth of usable footage and stretched it out to an hour-long show. How? By endlessly rehashing events after every commercial break; by having way too many commercial breaks--and commercials; and by creating completely false drama in order to try and make this Lame show more exciting. Too bad the producers missed. This could have been a great competition show. Instead, they turned it into a boring, endlessly redundant snooze-fest that is totally unworthy of the Ninja Warrior moniker.
