Having seen The new pathetic Bade Miyan Chote Miyan I was hesitant to watch this, however I could not find the original anywhere therefore decided to watch the hindi version. This has taken the foul taste of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (2024 version) away.

Some great performances by both Saif Ali Khan and Hritik Roshan.

Though it was predictable, and I started to unravel the plot as soon as Hritik Roshan / Vedha made his entry I was still engaged. I will definitely watch the tamil version now.

Bollywood has no original stories.anymore but it's surprising how Tamil movies can still churn out a story that surprises you but still keeps to the tradional india elements in there. So glad there were no half naked actresses throughout the movie, which is what Bollywood tends to do. Bollywood writers need to learn from family movie writers. A definite must watch.

Just by naming it the same as a movie that was so much more entertaining doesn't make this a watchable movie.

The only thing that didn't bore me was seeing Clips.of the original in one scene for about 20 secs.

This was basically GI Joe but done worse. Didn't see the point of the songs and that too where the singers sound constipated.

Tiger maybe trained in martial arts and dancing, but he does not have any screen presence like his father. I don't even know what Akshay Kumar was trying to achieve in this.

Don't waste your time with this, even though now it's showing on Netflix.

The story writing was poor. Nothing made any sense.

The females (I can't even call them actresses) were over the top.

Sonakshi Sinha was wasted, she probably had more.screen presence than both the heroes.

I can't swear on this site as they will block the review, that's how bad this movie is.

I think the critics are either paid by other studios or they have no.clue, or both.

After Ghostbusters 2 which was OK at best but still a guilty pleasure of mine, we had the next best thing that took the adventures.further with the animated serious. Afterlife and Frozen Empire allow us to see Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Bill Murray on screen as the Ghostbusters whilst allowing the new breed to continue their legacy.

Only thinking missing is Rick Moranis who I hope does get a role in the next movie.

This is a great movie, a good story and it was fun.

Don't listen to the critics who are clueless.

40 mins is all I managed and that too after skipping some boring parts. If the film doesn't get hold of you maximum in 10 / 15 mins then it does not succeed. Dakota Johnson has no screen presence. Even the CGI spider had more presence.

Sony should give all Spiderman properties over to Marvel rather than try with these mediocre movies such as Venom 2, Morbius and now this utter piece of rubbish.

Even the 3.8 or whatever the rating is on IMDB is being generous to this. That's 40 odd mins of my life I could not get back, it was so bad I switched it off and starting watching an Episode of Blue Blood on Paramount Plus.

What did I watch? Were the writers striking and asleep when this was even being conceived? How was it even given a green light to go ahead? Poor CGI, out out all the female actresses you could use for an action movie they get Megan Fox? Even Ronda Rousey was more believable as an action hero in E3. This movie is totally off.

There was no chemistry between any of the characters in this movie, atleast you still felt some sort of 'brotherhood' between the characters in Expendables 3.

Teri Crews, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarznaggar, Harrison Ford added so much to the previous movies.

You can tell that Stallone had no say in this movie, this was just meant to be a money grabber but failed miserably.

Tony Jaa had the best role and scenes.

The soundtrack is pathetic, where is the Expendables theme when they are doing a job?

This is a typical 70s story, something from maybe Manmohan Desai where children are exchanged in the hospital. The story then follows after that involving typical 70s / 80s and 90s masala. Overall its a guilty pleasure type movie where you don't really need a brain yo enjoy, which at times is not a bad thing. I had not known this is a remake until after watching the movie due to the emotional scenes as they are no longer existence in normal bollywood movies. And the action scenes were south movies wise. Any emotion and hard hitting dialogues are non existing since the demise of writes of Kader Khan, Neeraj Vora who used to do do excellent writing. Music should be stopped from bollywood movies as they no longer can write filmy music since everything is rehashed.

Parish Rawal is wasted, Manish Koirala had no emotion as the mother, Rajpal Yadav wasted.

Kartik. Aryan is annoying. Kriti Sanon is just objectified as legs and nothing else.

I have been a huge fan of the Equalizer movies and part 1 and 2 have had multiple viewings from myself since release however this one seems the weakest of the three. The build up to the final act and taking out the big guy was better in the previous 2 parts. Also its not hard to work out who Dakota Fanning is and you easily work out why she gets involved and the connection between the characters. Though you see Denzel gain a connection with the 'normal' people, he seemed to have a better chemistry with the people he helped out in the first 2 movies. I hope there is a fourth and also a better story too.

Why drag this over 6 weeks? Just release the whole series at once. Waste of time.

With so many different digital media they are trying to fulfill content and there so comes to trying to conceive 'original' stories but at the same time they need creative minds and decent actors.

The way the narrative unfolds I fell asleep multiple times as I got bored but I needed to see how it's concluded since I had committed so much time already.. call it my mental health condition or OCD I need to complete the series even if it is rubbish. After already been let down with the ending season 3 of The Witcher, which I only just managed to complete, I thought this may be able to offer the closure that I was missing this week but I guess I am going to have to seek it elsewhere.

When it starts off you think it's not bad and they did a better job of de-aging than Marvel have.. Until you hear Harrison Ford talk. Wish they used AI and voice modelated the dialogue for when he is shown as his 'younger' self. Pheobe waller whatever is annoying as anything, out of all the British actresses they could have had, they got the one who can't even run properly.

I was excited for this but it just bored me. Even The Meg 2 was more engaging and that movie is a stinker. I am glad no more Indiana Jones, and in all honesty it should have stopped with 'The Last Crusade' but Hollywood likes to milk whatever they can out of.a franchise.and ruin what it was. For me The last indiana Jones is and will be the last.crusade.

Atleast Jaws was a bit more believable that being said. This is not a film that is taking itself seriously. Its one of those fun popcorn movies that you can sit and enjoy after a long hard day and not have to really put any thought into it. Sometimes you just want large explosions and action that defies all physics. I can't even remember the story for the first one and most likely I will forget about this too in the near future but for now enjoyed it. If you are looking for serious thoughtful cinema look elsewhere, if you just want to watch a fun popcorn movie give this a watch. Give it a 6 out of 10.

Taken plots from James Bond, Mission Impossible, Ideas from Black Widow, Winter Soldier and netflix quality from early HD releases and you get this.

And Netflix increase prices and produce such rubbish. Got Alia Bhatt one of the most dumb Bollywood actresses to play as a hacker, nothing can make that believable.

Also predictable as you know how it will pan out in the end. Its ok for a one time watch but its a forgettable movie.

I judge a movie of how engaging it is within the first 15 mins and if it can't get my attention by then it will be a rubbish movie. Even Spider-verse had more charisma and heart and that was animation.

If you are looking for a thinking person's film, look elsewhere, if you are looking for a half decent fun no brainer action popcorn movie watch this, atleast being about transformers it makes it more believable than Fast and Furious current movies.

Also what's with all the hate that there are no white people in this movie?? The ones with the 'white people' where so perfect weren't they? (Sarcasm for those that dont get it)

I'm also glad that we didn't get the screen shifting for 3 / 4 different aspect ratios, however I think that this would have benefitted from being shot in IMAX enhanced cameras.

It's definitely worth a watch of you are a transformers fan.

Can't see why the negative reviewers are giving this such bad reviews. I am not a fan of Sonam Kapoor and is probably one of the worse child of a big star however she has done a half decent job in this. I think Vinay Pathak is the so called 'star of the show' for me, loved his character.

You are introduced to the antagonist pretty quick however this is a cat and mouse chase thriller than a mystery. Any movie that doesn't have me going for my phone is a decent watch. Forget the negative reviews and if you havnt seen the Korean version than watch this. Its a decent watch.

It's 2 hours long but doesn't seem that long.

So having seen thr very low reviews I wasn't expecting much from this but somehow ended up enjoying it.

Apparently it was based on a Tamil movie?

Probably watch that now if on amazon prime.

The jokes were stupid - it's just the execution of the action scenes which where pretty much comic book marvel action.

The writing was let down when Riteish is sent to Syria and Tiger knowing that he is the one that's dealing with thr bad guys why send him alone?

It wasn't cleverly written, they could have done it so that both were gonna go, last minute there is an issue with Tigers passport or visa and he tells his brother to carry on and he will catch up with him, or something like that but it was poorly done in the movie.

The so called music directors of this movie need to put their heads down in shame, they are not music directors they are copy and past directors including the so called lyricists.

If you expect the movie to be the worst ever then you will enjoy it to some extent. One time forgettable movie.

Watched on a Saturday lunchtime whilst having lunch and had the house to myself.

It kept you engaged until the actual climax and the reason for the kidnapping - that's when the movie falls flat on its face.

A few plot holes but can't mention without giving away spoilers.

The acting was good of all the actors and they did well but the climax let this movie down too much.

If they do make a sequel hopefully it has better writing and a better climax.

Glad we didn't get the statutory smoking and drinking is ingenious to health through the movie which actually ruins the experience. If people are too stupid to know what is or is not good for them then that's not my problem, don't ruin the movie for me which this didn't.

The first Bhool Bhulaiya was a copy of Tamil Chandramukhi / and Malayam movie Manichitrathazhu (1993). But despite being a remake of those it was not forced comedy, the humour was from the reactions of the different characters such as Paresh Rawal or Rajpal Yadav or Rasika Joshi which worked.

However with this so called sequel Anees Bazmee makes not even childish humour movies. I did not even laugh once in this even Rajpal Yadav and Sanjay Mishra were not funny. Kartik was annoying. Kiara was just in it for songs else it could have really done without her in the movie. Tabu was wasted.

Stop putting songs in new films music is poor, lyrics poor, singers autotuned and can't sing.

I have grown up watching the 1978 version for many years with most Xmas being televised on one terrestrial channel or another, each time I enjoyed it. Considering the original was slow it still kept you engaged I was at times starting to switch off with this though. The pacing felt slow. Having seen the original many times you know how the murder murder is committed and by whom, the added a twist (ish) but that could still not save this.

Its an ok crime, thriller, drama but it lacked the thrill. It turns into a more of a cat and mouse chase once Mithun Chakraborthy makes his entry.

Its been a while since I have seen him in a strong main role.

You work out the mystery in the early episodes and then you just watch to see how they unravel it.

The end climax again too predictable.

If you are looking for a true thriller mystery look elsewhere, if you are Mithun Chakraborthy's fans then don't give this a miss you will not necessarily disappointed with his character.

This was less about carnage and note about the domestic issues between Eddie Brock and Venom. Since when is venom a comedy sidekick.

Literally what the hell is this... You'd have thought Sony would have learnt their lesson after Bully Maguire in Spiderman 3 and his Hitler haircut but this was just as bad.

The only reason this is is worth watching for is the mid credit scene that is a major plot spoiler for one of the MCU upcoming movies but that's it.

This is such a bore... Even when the scenes are meant to be intense with so called action I was thinking when the hell is this going to end.

It was huge in production value but poor in narrative and execution.

Maybe I should have taken some spice 😉 to make it watchable.

I watch a movie to be entertained but this was just a poor let down.

There may be people who enjoy this movie and fair play to them everyone has their different tastes However definitely not for me.

Sometimes even if a movie is not engaging there is atleast one character or actor who has some sort of screen presence that keeps you holding on .. but no-one in this movie has that.

Hans Zimmer music is very operatic even in the so called action scenes but that's just all it is.....operatic.

This isn't the 10/10 that some ppl have made it out to be but it's not even the low marks that it has been given.

There is certain type of noir something you would have possibly seen in the early 40s/50s movies to it.

Each character had their own arc and niche.. A great cliff hanger at the end.

Bring on season 2.

I cannot see how some people have claimed this as a masterpiece, probably the worst Tarantino movie I have seen.

I know he wanted to keep things authentic but most of the movie is either in French or German .. if I wanted to watch a foreign film with subs I would have chosen to do so.

Having to watch the characters on screen as well as the subs was damn annoying.

Normally when watching a scene I like to look at how he has framed the scene, The angle he is using etc etc but I spent more time reading the subtitles!

Also how is this a dark comedy as some claim on here?

The only thing hilarious I found was Mike Myers in his British accent.. I was waiting for him to turn around and say Oh behave!

Django was so much better than this and even One upon a time in Hollywood was so much better.

I guess the low ratings are there due to the recent hate against Le Bron.

This was actually a fun movie.

Some great moments.

My son loved it.

And so did I.

Some good pop culture moments such as Austin Powers, Matrix etc etc.

If your are rating this low because of the recent hate against Le Bron you are sad individuals.
