Very funny as usual particularly the return of Hanneman and Gavin Belson's air travel related vendetta. <br /><br />Sampson - (Most underrated player in the season as I loved what he did as truly the connective tissue he was in the Gerhardt family. In that he portrayed the strict loyalty to his mother, but also offered only an earnest portrayal of support for even the underlings like Hanzee. Then he gave years of abuse and fighting with Donovan and the two were great together in providing such an intense division. This was most pronounced in his scenes with his son where Sampson brought such tenderness and honest devastation at losing him. In "Did you do this? No you did it?" I thought he was outstanding in his scene with Keller, first being the cold enforcer diving out justice for betrayal, then moments later reveal so powerfully the despair of an Uncle who had to kill his niece.)<br /><br />Offerman - (His role seemed almost a curious point for awhile in that he just seemed there for the occasional hilarious one liner, which he delivered again and again. In the police station scene though with Sampson though Offerman showed exactly why he was cast, and was downright amazing in revealing sort of the smooth lawyer within the character while still showing beneath it all the very real fear of the situation. Furthermore as the season go on he offers a surprisingly comforting factor particularly in his final scene with Cristin Milioti)<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />That was one of my earlier reviews, and yes it needs an update. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />RIP Jonathan DemmeLouis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-27332300887454504842017-04-26T16:49:07.437-04:002017-04-26T16:49:07.437-04:00Luke:

Its staging looks excessively cheap and might as well be just a filmed play yet with with the inability to look where you want. Instead you have to instead suffer from at times obnoxious camera angles and movements. It does little more with the material other than present it.<br /><br />Olivier - 4.5(Olivier doing Shakespeare was always best when he was directing himself, and that shows here as his work is not nearly as effortless as his turns in Hamlet, Henry and especially Richard. Olivier is working just on film rather truly within it as he did with those earlier turns. But hey it's still Olivier doing Shakespeare. Olivier takes sort of the straight approach as Lear as sort of the King whose becoming affable and perhaps suffers from dementia a bit. He does offer the anger to the king but portrays it from a waned soul no longer with his power of old. Olivier is effective again in a more direct approach, than Scofield's rather brilliant atypical take, but just so. He is more or less as Lear should be, he is moving when he needs to be in portraying the king's sorrow by finding him almost as a harmless old man in the end and is powerful enough in his portrayal of his anguish and madness giving the suggestion of the King of old. He though doesn't quite go the extra distance here to make something truly special with his Lear. He's indeed very good, but just very good, which isn't a terrible thing.)<br /><br />Hurt - 4(Hurt does quite well with the role, and it is always shame when the fool vanishes something Kurosawa so brilliantly rectified. Hurt proves himself most capable in his take on the fool which is as a rather sympathetic one. He pesters the kind yet there is a striking warmth actually that Hurt brings in this pestering. He portrays it less of him trying to make the King feel poorly but rather showing the fool trying to give King good advice though through his own way.)<br /><br />Happy to hear he's returning and working in higher profile films again. I actually think with J.A. Bayona there's a good chance the film could be a major improvement over the first one. <br /><br />Even these scenes need to be edited heavily considering they are spliced with terrible scenes between them, and they aren't even all that good on their own. Nonetheless:<br /><br />Top Five Prequel scenes:<br /><br />1. Darth Maul Duel - The Phantom Menace<br />2. "You were the chosen one" - Revenge of the Sith<br />3. Opera - Revenge of the Sith<br />4. Death of the Jedi - Revenge of the Sith<br />5.
