Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Chris_Mac_25 Seinfeld was great during its tenure, and has appreciated with time. The quality of acting, writing and the characters is entirely unique to the 90's. Nothing since Seinfeld, Friends etc has come close. It's both a triumph and a tragedyTriumph because I never get tired of watching it. Tragedy because the quality will never be replicated or repeated. TV peeked here
arstanthegreat Before everything else, let me paint a picture of who I am.I am a 19 year old Filipino student in the Philippines who's main reason of living is binge-watching/reading almost anything that I could get my hands on. From manga, dc/marvel comics, novels, documentaries, foreign movies, cartoons, anime, and of course to TV shows, it has been my creed for at least 5 years now to absorb all that pop culture can offer me. As of today, I have watched (and even rewatched) over 40 foreign TV shows and I could safely say that I have had my fair share of awesome TV experiences and some blatantly boring albeit forgettable ones. Seinfeld, to me, falls under the latter category.While the show's premise is not entirely a bad one, at least not for me, the entire journey from the first season to it's last was, to be quite honest, unenjoyable. The jokes were stale, the dialogue was either unrealistic or just plain dumb, and the characters were just so freaking unlikeable. I actually ended up cheering when the judge pleaded them guilty. While Kramer is just an oblivious and absolutely careless idiot who always ends up ruining everything, he's not neccessarily evil. George and Elaine, however, are two of the worst people that I've ever known. Selfish, prideful, arrogant, and rude, these two would always find it in their time to deliberately screw with other people just because things didn't go the way they wanted it to. I'm sorry if I'm being a whiny baby for saying this, but I don't like watching a show whose main characters are just downright deplorable. I mean there are shows like Breaking Bad, Narcos and Game of Thrones with main characters that can be considered as "bad", but nevertheless, they still have a code of honor, or at least some compassion to show guilt, but George and Elaine never once apologized for being such scumbags. I suppose this sort of injustice can work on crime drama and other dark genres but I don't think it's compatible with comedy. I have always loved sitcoms ever since I binge-watched How I met Your Mother in just a week, and it's my favorite genre since you could rewatch an entire show without ever getting tired of it. Every single time that I finish a sitcom, I would always feel this emptiness after, like another part of me just died, and then I would go and rewatch it again, and again, up to the point where I could actually already predict most of the dialogue. I have rewatched HIMYM for 11 times now, Friends for 8, Arrested Development for 6, The Big Bang Theory for 4, The Office for 9, Community for 10, and Modern Family for 5, and I have no regrets over those several hours wasted on comedy, but believe me, I would never suffer through Seinfeld again, because as soon as I saw the last of those narcissistic jackasses, all I felt was relief, knowing that I could finally move on with the knowledge that Seinfeld was as perhaps one of the most overhyped garbage to grace the earth.
kosmasp A lot of comedies owe a lot to Seinfeld. So it probably will depend if you watched any comedy show before going in to watch Seinfeld. Of course there has been an evolution and another TV show has been at least as influential (Friends). Overall time will tell what has made an impact. Think of Stanford and Son or even the Bill Cosby show (if you can separate the Show and the actual human being in the latter case).But back to this: A show about nothing as it proclaims very proudly. Now of course that is not entirely true. But it is true that it's about everyday life, about relationships and about being human. Flaws and everything included. That does not mean that you don't have a coherent story, actually there is something of a line. And at the end we do get some flashbacks to what happened so far. It is really funny and as with the Cosby show, hopefully you can watch this without having that incident in mind Michael Richards was involved with.I'm only saying this, because you might not be able to enjoy the show otherwise. Especially because Kramer was a favorite. Kind of like a male Phoebe, but with way more crazy in him. A good comedy show, with ups and downs, like real life ...
Amit Mittal Seinfeld is one of the funnies shows ever. I never get bored of this even after watching it so many times. All four characters Jerry, Kramer, George and Elaine play their character quite well. You can relate to most of the events happening. Fun moments are picked from small events like not able to find where car is parked, overthinking about relationships etc.
