AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
bocomoj This film series is a documentary.Doc-u-men-ta-ry : of, relating to, or employing documentation in literature or art : being, consisting of, or contained in documents : a presentation (such as a film or novel) expressing or dealing with factual eventsI don't know why people seem to believe documentaries are somehow "required" to present both sides in an unbiased manner. That's the job of journalists, and even they don't do it; the nightly news is filled with bias.People who confuse "documentary" with "news" don't understand what documentaries are supposed to be. Read the definitions above. Nowhere does it say that all facts must be presented or the presentation should be unbiased.The intent of documentary film is to present an argument and support that argument with information. Documentary film is the media equivalent to a structured debate or writing a persuasive essay. You include opposing arguments and facts only to the point they help make your case. End of story.This series provides a clear narrative from a certain point of view. It tells a compelling story about a man and his encounters with law enforcement and our obviously imperfect judicial system. Some of the things we see are truly horrific. Things on both sides of the argument.And that's really the point. We should really only be shocked by horrific things done by criminals. We shouldn't observe police and prosecutors engaged in any activity that even gives of whiff of impropriety. Yet, we do. In fact, it's observed so often, it has become almost a running joke. A very tragic joke, to be sure.Also, it's dumbfounding how many people fundamentally misunderstand our criminal justice system. Only the prosecution must prove anything using evidence. The entire purpose of the defense is to create reasonable doubt. Avery's attorneys have no mandate to provide evidence or even substantiate their claims in any manner. Defense attorneys routinely manufacture outrageous lies to save their clients. This is done every day. It is how it is supposed to be done, if the lawyer is any good. If the defense were required to state the truth and provide evidence, 99% of trials would never happen, because the defendant would just plead guilty.
doomsdayrocks To put it simply making a murderer tries to make you sympathize with convicted serial killers, mass murderers, and rapists. All while pretending that the system was wrong for putting the convicted behind bars or to death. The producers and writers of this show attempt emotional manipulation multiple times throughout the series. I'd not recommend this series to anyone who is intelligent enough to make their own decisions.
joaosantos20 The documentary is absolutely brilliant, the way it tells the story is amazing, that must have been some hard work to sort to some many years of story and make it compelling and easy to see. I do not know if it's biased or not as i do not knew this story prior to watching the show. Regarding the content, i felt sick, revolted, upset, amazed, astonished. How can this be real live? How can this be real on a developed country? This seems like some third world justice. I really thing i should never have watched it in the first place, my live would be better without it, ignorance is bliss.
Ehmong Paulino Netflix really did the job on this one! This was an epic. I just finished episode 4 and I never realized I can be this excited about a documentary film....the last time I did was Breaking Bad. But it with all its glory, Breaking Bad is still fiction.No other words to say but just WATCH IT!
