Lori Rackl

Mar 31, 2014

The sharply written, slow-paced premiere ratchets up the tension on what’s reported to be the bloodiest 10-episode season yet. Read full review

It is--and continues to be in Season 4--a total storytelling masterclass. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

Apr 4, 2014

It's sexy, violent, witty, emotionally devastating and visually spectacular--those dragons are bigger and more unruly than ever--delivering an experience not unlike how the glorious Diana Rigg (as Lady Olenna, Queen of Thorns) responds when she first lays eyes on the Amazonian warrior Lady Brienne (Gwendoline Christie): "Aren't you just marvelous, absolutely singular!" Yes, she is, and so's the show. Read full review

"Justified" and Game of Thrones, each in its own way, has done its share to raise that bar to dizzying heights. Read full review

Game remains one of the more challenging shows to follow, but one of the most rewarding. Read full review

Mike Hale

This narrative pokiness is redeemed, as usual, by the machine-tooled professionalism of the production, the lavish attention to the mock-medieval costumes and setting, and the mostly crisp, understated acting by the international cast.... More than ever, though, you may find yourself impatient for the plot to wind around to the more engaging story lines. Read full review

By knowing what happens from reading Book 3, this second half has the potential to be the greatest season of television ever. The show just keeps topping itself and Benioff & Weiss stay incredibly true to the books. Possibly more-so than any other book-to-TV/Film adaptation ever.

With enough twists and turns to make a Shyamalan enthusiast proud, Game of Thrones continues to prove to audiences why it's one of the greatest television series of all time.

I'm a fan of the books, but I'm largely pleased with how well the show has followed them - and as importantly - how the show has DEPARTED from them in some ways.

However, I think we can all agree: it needs more Hodor!

In this season of Game of Thrones we got to see a lot of consequences of what happend in the last, wich was very interesting to see, but the big deal in this aspect, was that in other seasons bigger moments happened only at the end of the season, and now it happens pretty earlier one andIn this season of Game of Thrones we got to see a lot of consequences of what happend in the last, wich was very interesting to see, but the big deal in this aspect, was that in other seasons bigger moments happened only at the end of the season, and now it happens pretty earlier one and also have other gamechanger moments during the season and we can go see the consequences of that in the season itself, and thats courageous, it is a season fully of moments that are really stressful and some other moments that get you curious to see how other people will react to that and deal with it.
Peter Dinklage gave a show one more time, his character was in some cliffhanger situations, wich there was a moment of happiness and hope and just after sadness, he was switching emotions in so little time, that was great, and he also had one speech in this season that i really though it was amazing, he put his emotions on that speech that make it being great, you could feel his hate there. Lena Headey dispense comments, one more time she is amazing, with a very similar job that she had in the last season. Kit Harington had some nice moments in this season, some moments that he was leading that were really awesome, he could give to the moment some strength. Emilia Clarke here didn't had much going on this season, she could delivery sad moments and pass some ideas of what her character was thinking, but i didn't though it was that good, it was at least ok. Sophie Turner character had an apparently flip in this season, she did a good job. Maisie Williams did one more time doing a great job, i bought her situation with Clogane, and how without a choice she was, in the action moments i also though that she did a very good job. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau now trying to be more of a good guy, i believe that he was very successful, a bad guy turning into a good one normally seems forced, but here, with the script together with the actor i liked it. Aidan Gillen was one more time very mysterious, but now we had a little better idea of what his plans are, he can sell that sickness of his character. Jack Gleeson did such of a good job in the whole series that he was so easy for us to hate him, that was definely a perfect job of the character. Charles Dance as well, did a terryfic job. Rory McCann during the whole show was fearless and we got that from his phisicality. Gwendoline Christie was pretty good as well, she had some sarcastic and debauchery faces, she was pretty cool. Iwan Rheon is building of the most scary characters of the show, he is completely unpredictable, he is trully evil and he can make us believe in that, it is so natural that i also got scared of the actor. Pedro Pascal did a very good job, he was was debauchery, he had blood in his eyes for revenge, hate, i think that he sold his character very well.
The story generally is very good, but i think that are some flaws, are some story lines that i really didn't liked and was just for have more minutes, but it was completely unnecessary, like some Sam moments was just wasted and not necessary at all, it felt completely wrong somethings there. There are som Daenerys parts that i didn't saw things moving on neither, it is nice to see her rulling some place already, showing layers of what she is doing, but in other hand that felt so repetitive that i didn't enjoyed that very much.
The big thing about this universe, it is because for some point of view, it is really real, real in the sense that anything can happen anytime, so person died out of nowhere, that can happen in real life, and that can change other people life, so that unpredictability make the show be so great, like there are things that you see and may seems to be the same standard journey that are in other stories, but here it isn't, that's perfect.
The choreography of fights here isn't the best yet, some are good and others aren't, some are bad. I think that are some really bad fighting sequences here, that the editing really didn't do a good job done, so many cuts that it felt like a transformers movie, that wasn't good, but some were really nice, the whole battle of watchers, i though that was amazing, i could really get chills in some moments, the sequence was pretty well done.
This season was one more time pretty damn good, the develop of the story is still making me get stuck to it, the action moments aren't the best, but the main thing is that the great quality of the narrative and the events can't make my attention get lost in this rich universe.… Expand
