Ну, как тебе вчерашняя премьера? Только честно, без комплиментов.
So, how did you like yesterday's premiere? Be honest, no compliments.
-
B
Честно? Ожидал большего: начало многообещающее, а развязка разочаровала.
Honestly? I expected more: a promising start, but the ending was a letdown.

A
Согласен. Будто у сценариста к финалу идеи закончились.
Agreed. As if the screenwriter ran out of ideas by the end.

B
Хотя актёры, по-моему, старались. А главный так вообще сыграл на все сто.
Although the actors did try, I think. And the lead was simply spot on.
-
A
Главный да, а вот злодей вышел картонный. Я в него ни секунды не поверил.
The lead, yes, but the villain came out like cardboard. I didn't believe in him for a second.

B
И спецэффекты, несмотря на огромный бюджет, сделаны из рук вон плохо.
And the special effects, despite the huge budget, were done terribly.

Всё, в следующий раз идём на комедию. Там хоть злодеев нет.
That's it, next time we're going to a comedy. At least there are no villains there.
