Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
omgrazan Fallon is in a horrible need of a stylist. And a hairstylist and a makeup artist as well
miss_lady_ice-853-608700 This is very much a 21st century woke Dynasty. The original had more WASPS than a summer picnic but here we have different races. The Colby family are black and Krystal and her nephew Sammy Jo is Venezualan. In general, the whole show is twenty-first century attitudes. Fallon (Elizabeth Gillies) is a shrewd businesswoman rather than the little girl lost of the original Dynasty. Krystal loves and is (for the most part) loyal to her husband but she is not the pure and angelic Krystle of the original series. Stephen is also out and proud- his father is concerned with Stephen's charitable do-gooding rather than his sexuality.I have no issue with the changes for the most part. Simply transposing the original would not have worked- social attitudes have changed too much. In the original, Stephen being gay was treated as incredibly shocking whereas no one would bat an eye now. I also really enjoy the change of Sammy Jo from female to male- no longer a trampy wife but fun-loving casual boyfriend.The only issue I have is with the Colby family. TV has a bit of an issue with writing in black characters but making them underwritten and boring. Even when Jeff and Monica are trying to be sneaky, they're still dull as ditchwater hangers-on to the Carringtons. This isn't portraying ethnic balance; this is tokenism and the actors deserve better.Grant Show might be suitably silver-foxish (much more so than original Blake!) but his performance is so wooden that he could be replaced by a tree and the tree would outact him. I don't like how villainous and shady he is either- it feels like a lazy way to make the female characters stand out.Gillies is the most spirited cast member, bringing Alexis's feistiness and manipulation to the role of Fallon. I have not yet watched up to the point where Alexis comes in but she might feel redundant.The role of Claudia is completely wasted, with Claudia being a two-dimensional crazy woman, whereas in the original she was interesting and sympathetic.The original series was very influential- in some respects we already have a modern version of Dynasty in the form of the excellent Empire.All in all, it's a watchable, if forgettable version of a camp classic.
suenosandwater I love this show and the actors!!! I really cannot get enough, I only watch one show a week and right now this is the show that takes that spot. Totally addicting, guilty pleasure. I love the costuming, the story line is fantastic and binge-worthy. Again I love the actors and main characters, SO happy season 2 was green lighted.
landimple The first time I watched it, I couldn't watch the whole episode. But since the trailer is so good, I can't help myself being more patience for it. And guess what, it is not as bad as I thought it might be. The more I watch it, the more addicted I get. Can't wait for season 2 !
