For All Mankind is like a guilty soap opera pleasure for me. I enjoy it but I don’t know if I want to go recommending it to everyone; it can get cheesy at times.
The first season is amazing, 2nd season is great, then it starts to stutter a bit but levels out and is enjoyable. Hoping S5 ticks up a bit (they started filming a few months ago).
I’m a few episodes in on @Its Always Sundstrom recommendation. Seemed to start pretty slow but the acting was really good.
It is very well done. I’m rooting for a total thug but he’s the lesser of thr evils. I will still feel cheated at the end when we don’t even get a cameo of Batman.
Rosemary’s Baby was very good. It’s a creature of its time but that’s what it has to be evaluated against.
Think it aged like milk. Mia Farrow's performance was very good and I'm a huge John Cassavettes fan, but it's pretty rough these days. I see why it resonated, but unlike The Shining, The Exorcist or even The Omen movies, it's just a little too clunky for me. The score, the dialogue, the setups, etc.
Tell me a better movie filmed in that era covering the same subject matter? You are comparing it to movies made much later. Of course they hold up better. You have no obligation to like it and I don’t put it in the same tier as the thr movies you named but that’s not shaming it. It’s like saying Casino isn’t as good as the Godfather movies or Good Fellas.
