Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

NikkoFranco What they borrowed from the British original, they improvised. And what a hell of improvisation. Perhaps it is because it does not need any second look to find the same characters in our political arena, local or global. Kevin Spacey is convincing as Frank Underwood and on the same scale Robin Wright as Claire. The characters who have come and gone are also played by fine actors it makes the viewer think and feel that this is most likely what happens beyond the scenes. If you read the biographies of US Presidents and their first ladies, you will find a fraction of them in both Frank and Claire. Also from the key people who are in the White House, past or present. Spare your precious time off your social media account and watch this show, you'll learn a lot and yearn for more.

grantss Frank Underwood is a senior member of the US Government. His ambition knows no bounds and he is prepared to go to any lengths to get to the top.Mediocre. Started well enough: Season 1 contained some good intrigue and character development. Frank Underwood's cat-and-mouse game with Zoe Barnes was something to behold. However, Season 2 was where I lost interest. The Machiavellian machinations in Season 1 had a point. From Season 2 onwards the machinations were just for machinations' sake. There was no point to many of the intrigues and sub-plots, other to fill up space. Season 2 was when I stopped watching. For a much better version, watch the original UK series (also called House of Cards) from 1990. Season 1 of the US series follows the basic plot of that series quite closely. No pointless machinations in the UK series, more focus and it quit while it was ahead.

cinemajesty Television / Internet Review: "House of Cards" (2013-2018)On February 1st 2013 blast off this rocket of a political-thriller continuous episodic series, where the ruthless U.S. American couple of a decade pushing through congress, senates, lobbies of all-kind from state of New York over U.S. ideals-centralising Texas to California, when match-making constant-fourth-wall breaking leading cast by Robin Wright & Kevin Spacey stick to together in any possible hostile situation privately as professionally, going beyond any silver-lining playbook instructions to fulfill their dreams of U.S Presidency by season three in order to make "The White House" their home.Creator and executive producing Beau Willimon, known for further feature scripts to "The Ides of March" (2011) directed by George Clooney and the upcoming historic-politics-infesting England-Thriller "Mary Queen Of Scots" (2018) starring character-clashing Saoirse Ronan & Margot Robbie; alongside "House of Cards" quality-ensuring producing director David Fincher, who had been set the tone for all episodes to come, when superior supporting cast members, including Michael Kelly and Kate Mara leading the couple to victory as finding and fight depths of the dark conditions in the human mind for the infinite struggle for power in a world of being part or apart to reach ultimate heights in season two finals at episode 26 under the direction of "Fifty Shades Darker" director James Foley, the rebounding character of Claire must rescue her endeavoring husband Frank from a surely-doomed enterprise to become President of the United States.Surprisingly when mid-way through Season 3 the race for suspension heights seems lost, this exceptionally-gripping television series shot with the most-advanced camera equipment and production design as accurate as I were actually on set with fowarding well-researched newly-introduced supports coming on strong with Neve Campbell as double-crossing close to neutral political inside and Joel Kinnaman as Presidency-challenger Will Conway, when any spectator must admit that by season five finals nothing has been solved to make the surrounding publicity of killing characters, especially rollercoasting always delivering Frank Underwood, continuity crimes to be avoided.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

ns-55468 I started to watch this because of Kevin Spacey. I was intrigued with the direct monologue with the viewers, by Kevin Spacey's character, Frank Underwood. As time goes on, the viewer is taken through a powerful, political drama with the Underwood's. The more the story goes on, I started to dislike and even hated the character, Frank Underwood. I think that was part of the story telling. The viewer despises the character more and more as Frank gains more power. As I start to despise this specific character, I'm left wondering why am I still watching this show. I like to finish what I started and I waiting for the day that destroys Frank's political career or even more powerful figure opposes Frank. The story telling is a bit dry and sluggish at best. There is a lot of character development, but nothing that holds all the characters together. One day in this shows universe, is like an eternity in real life. Progress is belittled and more attention is on secondary characters that come and go. Need more emphasis on the main characters with relateable events.
