TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

shannon-julie Normally, I like to keep my hands busy while I watch tv, but with the subtitles, I found that I had to pay attention... so for 32 episodes (each almost 1 1/2 hrs long) I was captivated and not at all productive. But no worries -- this is a very special show. The symbolism and passion, a complete set of characters that you grow to absolutely love (or hate) and each one gets under your skin. I have a new appreciation for Turkish culture and for Istanbul and I am yearning for more shows like this one. A real treat, and I am soooooo glad I took a chance on something I don't normally watch!

mwaceves I really didn't think I would like this at first---It looked like it would be a mix of Beauty and the Beast with Ninja Turtles. Some of the acting was way over the top, so I thought this might be for a younger audience.Once I gave it a chance I got completely pulled in to the story. The plot is very complicated, with several plots interwoven. Some are crime stories, some are love stories, and some are about fate, fraternity, loyalty, and betrayal. Also abuse and mental illness. There are medical experiments and a quest for eternal life.I loved most of the acting. The backstories and character development made me sympathetic for all but the most evil bad guys. Subat and Yagmur especially change a lot as they mature in this story. No spoiler--but the ending is extraordinary. Like most of these Turkish shows there is no sex shown but there is a lot of violence.At times it was obvious that the subtitles had mistakes--especially mixing masculine and feminine pronouns. It made me wonder what else I was missing.

calincia The series is a unique example of the Turkish TV industry. Subat offers a beautiful cinematic experience with over 50 very talented actors and actresses, unforgettable visuals and musical scores. To this date, I'm quite assured that no other Turkish producer and director have been able to achieve such exceptional viewer experience - which makes Subat an absolute benchmark for the upcoming projects. The plot does have sharp and shocking twists and key characters are introduced gradually, which creates continued viewer interest and enthusiasm. Compared to other TV series produced in Turkey, Subat is one of the few that respects the intelligence of the viewer and offers much more than what is presented on the screen if the viewer chooses to analyze the characters and puts the pieces together by himself. I must also add that producing such quality imagery and storyline is not that easy when each episode is approximately 100 minutes long and filmed on a weekly basis. An overall excellent production that deserves much better recognition, and I hope to see more like this series in the future.

sandy haqqy I was looking forward to this Turkish remake of the class TV show beauty and the beast I did not know what to expect since the original is almost to copy but so far after watching 13 episodes I can say that it is am interesting remake of course the setting story and characters like the original is very fictional and has nothing to do with reality unlike the original the hero is not a beast but rather a disfigured homeless naive guy living in Istanbul tunnels he is fascinated by a rich TV presenter their meeting starts a chain of unpredictable events the acting is top notch the guy playing subat is very convincing but maybe a little too good looking to play a creepy man but whats really outstanding about the show is the director I have never seen a TV show with such excellent cinematic direction at least not in Turkish shows the show does have flows mostly with the writing its sometimes way over the top and sometimes cheesy but so was the originaloverall worth checking out by fans of the original
