Gravity 5.5
Outstanding visuals and great action skims a wafer thin layer of plaster over a weak script and boring dialogue, Ultimately this movie has no substance beyond its opening scenes as you are left to suspend belief as Sandra Bullock performs "Mary Sue" like heroics in unbelievable situations..disappointing!

Rolling Stone's 63rd greatest album of all time
I think this is when my enjoyment of U2 would diminish. I was surprised to enjoy their earlier albums, but this seems like the point where style overcame substance. One is an amazing song, but there wasn't an awful lot else to enjoy.

Imogen SB (4507 KP) rated What Did You Expect from the Vaccines? by The Vaccines in Music

Surfing the rock vibe
As first albums go, this is good. It really sets up a good feel for The Vaccines style and substance. Mixing surfer style with current indie rock helps create a new and fresh style of music, that I personally think is easily consumable by most listeners!
Movie Critics (823 KP) rated The Bad Batch (2016) in Movies
May 25, 2017
Waterhouse's performance struggles to convey simple behaviour convincingly - such as thinking about stuff or caring what happens. Amirpour is a talented director with a wonderful eye but her style lacks substance

Bored senseless
The film could have been improved by removing the hour in the middle that had absolutely no substance at all or, and if I were you I'd do this, just don't bother wasting a single minute of your life watching any of it. Watch Apollo 13 or the Martian or literally any other space film.

What a disappointment
I was so looking forward to watching this, although reading poor reviews I still had high hopes. I was very disappointed, it was a slow burner, but a slow burner without much substance. I didn't feel connected to the characters or really care about what happened. I was so disappointed because the book was really good.
Ross (3284 KP) rated Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley in Music
Jul 1, 2020
Rolling Stone's 56th greatest album of all time
Elvis' debut album, mainly consisting of covers (Carl Perkins' Blue Suede Shoes, Little Richard's Tutti Frutti and Ray Charles' I Got a Woman among them). A decent album but a sign of style over substance for what was to come. He was definitely a performer, there is no denying that.
