Masters of underachievement
1 of 1 found this helpful Easy to watch but could have been more. The characters needed to be nuanced. Too many gratuitous and ultimately pointless scenes included or extended, probably because of that overly emphasized belief by directors and producers that the audience "requires" such things.

Easy to fault but compelling to watch
0 of 4 found this helpful Many concurrent stories set in different locales makes for a "let's hurry before we're interrupted" pace to the film-making. In season five the dragon queen character in weakened by inadequate writing. The setting and new story for the youngest Stark girl seems overly contrived and poorly paced. The jeopardy faced by Queen mother Lannister seems likewise overwrought and ridiculously unlikely based on her previous astute and clever manipulations. But overall the grand over-arching story marches on and may someday (season 9? season 17?) reach a climax. As always, I'm disappointed that a "season" is only ten episodes.
The attention to visual details remains excellent and the acting (with a few exceptions - perhaps only the dragon mother among the major players) well directed and well done. The story-writing/telling retains the undercurrent of tension that we've come to expect if not embrace.
The DVD set I bought ten days ago on Ebay (well before the official USA release) has occasional pixel-blur and transitional stuttering - perhaps these discs suffer from black-market or grey market parentage. It probably should be a requirement that GOT be watched on Blu-ray anyway - the effort put into creating this bar-raising grand-scale dauntless epic-adventure deserves to be noticed by viewing via the best platform available.

Works well enough to tell the story in an entertaining way.
Lacks the "newness" of the first but continues the story well, perhaps a bit too much fantasy, sometimes silly. Credible tie-in to the Avenger world.
