ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Sarita Rafferty 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.

hakanwasen As a lover of jazz of the 20's I really enjoyed Boardwalk Empire.I do not like hooligans and gangsters but You can not resist to like Nucky Thompson. .I really liked how it was staged and how authentic they have made it. But most of all I liked how well they had integrated the music and made this almost 100 year old jazz so full of life.

irishm I started this series because I like historical dramas, I think it's fun when real people from a given period are dropped in amongst mostly fictional characters, and I don't mind violence. Season 1 was very promising. Season 2 started to fall off about halfway through. By the start of Season 3 I knew I didn't have it in me to go three more rounds with this thing.First of all, by then I was lost… I couldn't keep track of who had done what to whom and why. That's not necessarily the show's fault; if I can't keep up, maybe I'm just not that bright. But also, the characterizations of some of the main personalities seemed to become wildly inconsistent: Agent Van Alden, likely one of the more interesting yet repulsive characters, evolves from a troubled and overly-focused fundamentalist to a guy who thinks drowning his partner at a baptism in front of dozens of witnesses is the logical way to cope with a perceived problem, and that keeping a pregnant woman prisoner until she pops out the baby he wants to gift his barren wife with is also a perfectly workable solution to a sticky situation. That's my prime example, but there were others. On top of that, the show seemed to think it needed to constantly one-up itself, so that each episode was a bit more of a reach plot-wise, shock-value-wise and violence-wise than the one before it had been. A story stopped being a story, and started to become a series of eye-catching events. Some people like that, but it wasn't enough for me.I ended up bailing shortly after the start of Season 3. I did read all the episode summaries because there were a couple of things I really did want to know (like what happened to the fascinating Richard). I picked out a couple of later episodes to watch, including the series finale, but there was no way I was going to take the time to watch every single one all the way to the end. Good concept, good cast for the most part, just didn't have the staying power for me.

Dimitris Palou When I started the series I wasn't so excited because it was a little boring and had a lot of names I had to recall.But as I continued watching it it was becoming better(especially after episode 5).After that episode it was great watching it.Season 2 was thrilling since Jimmy vs Nucky was something we all liked to see.And as the series was on its peak suddenly at season's 2 finale comes the death of Jimmy.50% of the series was destroyed in 1 shot.However, I continued watching it but 3 episodes later I realized that after Jimmys death all action was gone.To sum up, if you think you are able not to sympathize with Jimmy you can watch that one.On season 3 some good characters also appear like Jeep(sorry for spelling if its wrong) who are far from boring and bad-ass. As far as the costumes are concerned they are very good and they depict 1920s.There is also a very nice approach to this period as every little detail is included in the show.It is very hard to find mistakes or not well explained scenes.Anyway, I think that killing Jimmy took away Boadwalk's Empire chance of becoming my favorite show.

eva-therese-701-10299 The cinematography of this movie is nothing short of amazing and deserves every award that was thrown at it. It does nothing short of bringing the bootleg gangster era back to life. The plot starts out tight and vibrating, but already in season two it begins to loose focus. It was like "wow, we've had two great seasons with this character, now what should we have him do?". And the finale was just disappointing. Nothing in it to make me angry like with Dexter, it just felt flat and meh. And it felt like it pretended to have led up to though all five seasons, rather than actually having planned it along, although I must say they did a very good job of that pretending. The strength of this show is that it understands that - in the words of Chuck Wendig - plot is made of people. What drives the story is people who want things and other people who want different things and some times they work together and other times they work against each other. And they try to be all cool and businesslike, but they also love and hate or maybe they just want revenge for some imagines slight. And sometimes coincidences happen, but only because they also happen in real life and it would be weird to have a whole show without them. In season three when the creators start looking for things to throw at Nucky to have him fight for his life and his position, they still throw people at him, characters with wants and needs and plans to get those fulfilled. New players who are fascinating to watch, even as it becomes slightly dull to watch Nucky himself always come out on top. To bad that so many of them in the end get treated like loose ends to be tied.
