Reviews

The first one was horrendously bad. This one didn't improve upon anything. Did the fighting look good? No, not really. Why? Because there were slow-mo shots that ruined the entire thing.

I counted almost every slow-mo scene in this film, and there were 78 in total. 78 slow-mo scenes. Why? Some of them added nothing, much like most of the scenes in the movie. Everything is told to us. The history of the characters, their intentions, their needs and wants. Nothing is left for us to be like "Huh, I wonder what he's thinking.", because they all say what they think.

I tried liking it. I really did. I love sci-fi films, but what is there to like? The robot, played by Anthony Hopkins? I mean, he looks cool but I don't remember his name or what he said when all the heroes gathered in that cliché ending where they all say "we're with youuuee.".

Again, 78 slow-mo scenes... God it triggered me. Also, why did did they bring back Ed Skrein's character just to die again? His return and second death added nothing to the story. I wouldn't be surprised if they brought him back for the third movie, where he dies yet again after accomplishing nothing, yet again.

3/10.

I understand, you want to build a whole "new" world with deep lore holding it up. But jesus.. You don't need this much exposition in order to tell the story. Show don't tell is the way to go, but instead, Zack Snyder decided to tell everything without giving anything up for interpretation. The exposition is also told so unnaturally, in a way that you wouldn't realistically.

The film felt like almost every side-quest in an RPG game where you need to recruit new companions. It wasn't even good because you didn't get to learn anything about the new companions.

It's also pretty hilarious that the bad guys haven't evolved beyond "evil hats = bad guys".

Some of the visuals looked cool, but most of it looked awful. Using chromatic abberation does not make the scene look better. Also, why drag the action scenes out with CONSTANT slow-motion? I get that it's Zack Snyder's thing, but my god was it excessive to the point where it was almost laughable. Pretty sure that if they didn't use slow motion, the film would be 40 minutes long.

It was okay, but nothing memorable. 5/10.

If this had come out in the early 2000s, this movie would have been better than it is today. The clichés are filled with a movie.

There's literally nothing this movie does that other movies haven't done before. Oh the scene where the two love interests are on a bed talking, and they lean in for a kiss, and then just as they're about to kiss... Guess what happens, you're not going to guess it, right? Someone walked in on them and they acted like nothing happened. We haven't seen that one before, right?

Oh and if the main character has a good relationship with the family, you probably don't know what will happen with them... Why you didn't even get close to guessing correctly! They get kidnapped by the bad guy! That's a new one, right?

That's just two big points. It's just frustrating that writers haven't gotten past the 2000s when it comes to what makes the characters tick and stuff.

Oh and Susan Sarandon... Boy oh boy. No.

And also another oh, why does the fight scene at the end remind me of what a bad Transformers scene would be like?

This was one of the superhero movies of all-time for sure. It was simply one of them.

This movie was supposed to introduce Kang into the MCU as THE villain going forward, and it barely did it.

The film as a whole failed to deliver a decent story, VFX, and acting.

The story felt like a copy and paste of other films, especially the whole "You're not telling us everything."-thing. The VFX was all over the place, it was basically only VFX, which detached me from anything. Nothing felt like it mattered, because it was basically just blob-buildings and blob-creatures. Why would I care about that?

The acting? What the hell was even that? The actor playing Cassie was just... not it. Her acting felt stale and wooden. It felt like there was no chemistry between Paul Rudd and the actor playing Cassie at all. Jonathan Majors was either really loud or really quiet, there was no in between.

The film had no stakes at all. "Stop me and my variants will conquer the multiverse."... okay? So basically the film wasn't about the present, but the future, which has no impact on the present, which basically makes the stakes in this film null.

Quantumania is probably the worst Marvel film to date, in my opinion. A thousand times worse than Thor: The Dark World and Iron Man 2. No amount of VFX could save it.

This movie felt like a filler episode of a show that's had too many seasons, and they just filled it with some cool shots.

What even happened in the movie? I feel like nothing happened. A bunch of characters were introduced, awfully. Heimdalls son, came out of nowhere? Eternity I guess is a thing, but why delve deeper into that? Valhalla, oooooh! Uhm. Yeah. Jane has cancer, and stuff.

I was afraid that the whole cancer storyline for Jane would be overshadowed by stupid jokes, and I was right. I felt nothing in the end. I didn't even almost care. I'm sad that we won't see Jane again (unless...). But that's it.

Taika Waititi tried to do something, but he failed. He saved Thor with Ragnarok, but almost destroyed him with this film. It has a few cool shots though, and that's cool I guess. 5/10.

There weren't a lot of things I wish were different in the film, except for more character development of Jennifer Garner's character. She was probably the weakest part of the film, but not because of her acting, but because of the lack of development of her character. Another thing would be the villain, played by Catherine Keener. Her entire character was basically "I want money and power, and I won't let anything get in my way.", which is sort of over played.

The entire film was a tear-jerker from beginning to end, and every part was satisfying in its own way. Mark Ruffalo's ending was brilliant and moved me to tears. Seeing him standing alone, knowing his fate, but getting to see what becomes of his only son. It was very moving.

All in all, it was a solid film with a lot of laughs, great acting from everyone involved, and great depth to most characters.

What was the point of Grogu leaving with Luke? He achieved nothing while being with him. Everything he did in this finale was doing the same things he's been doing all the time. So why did he leave?

It would have been so much better to keep Grogu with Luke and get a cameo from him once or twice in season 3, showing his progress etc. But no. Instead they're capitalizing on the relationship between Grogu and Din Djarin, and the whole point of season 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian was lost.

This show wasn't Boba Fett's at all. Sure, he was in it. He did some stuff. He spoke a bit. He shot some stuff. But what did he even achieve? He wanted to get the respect of his city, but in the end he questions if he even wants to stay. Like... what was the point of having a shootout with the Pyke Syndicate then?

Don't even get me started with the moped gang. I can just imagine that they were the creation of Robert Rodriguez. I could smell the 'Shark Boy and Lava Girl' -scent through the screen. Whenever they got shot at, I wished they would all fall to the ground due to their whole existence. Nothing about them were cool.

What was that messy deal with the rancor? First he was ridden by Boba Fett, which was really cool, and I really liked it. But then the rancor got loose, and climbed some buildings, and then, for some reason, the moped gang started shooting the rancor(?!). Why? Then Din is like "I'll save the day." and then he clumsily flies to the rancor and clumsily gets tossed around. Then Grogu does the hand thing and saves the day, because we need to see the same old schtick again for some reason.

Cad Bane is an iconic villain in the animated Star Wars shows, and he was wasted. I wish he and Fennec had some interaction considering the whole Bad Batch deal... But no.

The Syndicate and Co. Were all killed suddenly, and that was that. It was just... anti-climactic.

This whole show was the most unnecessary show I've seen in a while. Everything exciting that happened was with The Mandalorian. But the decision to put Grogu back with The Mandalorian was the dumbest decision of the season, apart from the moped gang.

Extremely disappointed, especially seeing how good the 6th episode was. Keep Robert Rodriguez away from Star Wars in the future, please.

It's ironic that the best episode of the show (so far) didn't include the main character of the show. But here we are.

Bryce Dallas Howard is back directing, and she does another amazing job at it. I honestly think she should direct a Star Wars film as well.

Mando is back in action, and it is great. They did something I wish they did in The Mandalorian, which is to give some backstory of the Darksaber. As someone who's watched The Clone Wars and Rebels, I was extremely happy to see the flashbacks to Mandalore. Hopefully it will become the center stage when we eventually get season 3 of The Mandalorian.

The action was great, there were plenty of easter eggs, and hopefully a tease to a character coming over to live-action. But I highly doubt that character will appear in this show.

This episode was amazing, though I can understand the complaints that the main character was basically omitted from the episode. 10/10.

Half of this show has been about what Boba experienced before getting the armor, and I get that it's important to give backstory and fill in on what happened between then and now. It's just sad that the story was so surprisingly uninteresting, apart from the Tusken story.

This episode marks the shift in storytelling. Instead of showing flashbacks for 90% of the episode, we're now getting some very interesting "present time" action, and the show is all the better for it.

The first half didn't really have any direction to go in, due to the flashbacks and limited storytelling for the "present", that it was sorta dreadful watching it. But again, this episode gives the story a direction to go in, thank god.

Not only did the writers forget to include some character development, but the main actors were also just... Bad.

Lewis Tan played Cole, and he went from a fighter to a fighter who cares about his family, to a fighter with powers who cares about his family. His acting was more wooden than an oak tree.

Jessica McNamee played Sonya, she went from being an army woman who knows everything, to an army woman with powers who knows everything. Her acting was as wooden as a pine tree.

Joe Lawson played Kano, and he went from a witty, swearing Australian with anger issues, to a witty, swearing Australian with angers issues AND a lazer eye. His acting was, passable.

Mehcad Brooks played Jax, he went from being an army dude with arms, to an army dude without arms, to an army dude with robot arms. He probably got the most character development. His acting was just as bad as everyone else.

Joe Taslim played Kuai Liang, he went from being an Iceman villain who says something about "Lin Kuei" everytime he's on screen, to an Iceman villian who says something about "Lin Kuei" but he's called Sub Zero now for some reason. He was just... bad.

Hiroyuki Sanada played Hanzo Hasashi, he went from being a loving father, to a widower who seeks revenge, and he now calls himself "Scorpion" for some reason. He was the best part of the film, by far.

All in all, the story of the film felt uninspired, the acting just as uninspired. I do have to say that most of the action scenes were good, and they are probably the only reason why I'd recommend seeing parts of the film. Or you could just watch the action scenes on Youtube or something, not sure if it's worth sitting through a horrible film to see 10-15 minutes of action.

The film was bad. 4/10.

This movie, up until the ending was actually pretty solid. There were some moments where characters didn't do stuff that any sane human would do, such as walk into dark parts of corridors etc. Haven't they watched any scary movie ever?

The thing that REALLY pissed me off was the ending, and the feeling of emptyness it gave. It was nice to see Madison get her body back, but did the police officer survive? What happened after, was she convicted of murdering like 50 police officers? What about the mother, didn't Madison want to say hi or something? So many questions left unanswered.

It was a good movie, up until the ending. 6.5/10.

This episode was very well made. With barely any dialogue, it gripped me from beginning to end. It just proves, what silent films have proven before, that you don't need dialogue to tell a story.

The episode was hands down the best so far, 10/10.

I loved this season, I really mean it. What I really love about this show in general is that what happened a season ago still has an effect on the characters in the next. The thing that happened to Aimee in particular.

What really bugs me with this show is the whole Otis and Maeve thing of, "should we or not, actually no". It's so overdone at this point of the show. They keep building it up only for it to be ruined in the end. What would be hilarious to me would be if they end the show with them properly getting together and then realizing they're not it for each other.

I would hate that ending though, so if, by barely a fraction of a chance, the writers are reading this; Don't do it.

The season in general gets a 9.5/10, this episode alone gets a 8.5/10. I really wish they would just put them together already. Just do it™.
