Good but under its possibilities
26 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
After a first movie I enjoyed so much, I expected nothing less that the same quality, mystery and action. It's been disappointing that I found an interesting movie I like but nothing else and far from the overall impression I got from the first one, specially the extrange lack of the powers that Paul just should have developed after drinking the water off life that is a key moment but not in the movie. Clearly it is necessary at least a 3rd movie.

The deaths of the Harkonen also are treated in the movie as absolute lateral and, pum! Fast and easy, too easy for my taste.

It also shows too many moments the vision of the war... the dialogue with the sister, no comment, and absence of the guild, mentats and so on...

Mistery with no mistery
2 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
More than two hours of no suprises, even the revelations about the characters does not matter. The roles are predictable and scenes too long without any meaning to the movie. The cast could do much much better with a better script.

An expert police, cold minded and fairly motivated just turns to a mad and insane obsessed one with no reason in the movie, the script should reflect some trauma during the investigation thjat causes this change of behaviour.

As for the old police, his past should have caused the absolute rejection by the former boss in his old workplace.

And finally, the "revelations" in the movie are silly, predictable and should be much more crucial for the ending.

For sunday evenings!

Interesting and addictive
6 March 2023
While the show is not a masterpiece, it fulfills its purpose gracefully and the cast is what it should, we are not going for an prize here but even Irene, not so experienced as the other actors, does it's role as a real Madrid posh girl, insecure and that thinks everything will be easy.

The boys feel like real suburb dangerous ones and J. Coronado and the rest of the cast do a good job having in mind that is a TV show with a limited budget.

If compared with similar shows, the way each episode end with a cliffhanger is simply impressive and as I see, hate actors is without doubt not positive at all and even dislike the show is an opinion to be respected, is not fair to blame on one actor or actress.

Why I gave a 10
24 May 2022
Finally optimistic, funny and episodic... too much new ST shows with a loooong story but not this. It shows ethics and returns to the true ST spirit. Discovery was very good too but I really was missing the FRESHNESS and humor of the ST TOS or ST TNG. The lack of a positive approach of other TV show left some sadness that was not part of the emotions that the first shows left.

And so it began...
24 April 2022
An optimistic and sometimes funny reflex of ourselves projected in a bright future. And it was just the beginning... racism, working women, blak empowered Uhura, brilliant view of our society snd the future.

Far far away
24 April 2022
The show is simply bad. Using the ST name does not make it better. It is so far from the ST philosophy that barely can have the name, it is a dark and painful reflex and of course, it is not episodic in its approach.

Only recommended for unconditional fans. Every episode instead of being optimistic it is painful to see.

Could be interesting but it is too slow
28 May 2021
This tv show is quite good but as it advanced it is clear that there are no mysteries of relevance and it goes round the same thing for too long.

The Boys (2019– )

A nice discovery
22 January 2021
I was reluctant to watch this show but finally I found it entertaining and somehow, unique. Scenes like the saved dolphin are hilarious... And much more to be seen.

To watch at the cinema or a rainy winter day
18 January 2020
Lacks of the philosophy behind Interstellar and the action is weak. No surprises after... It could be better.

Interesting
10 November 2019
The last years almost any sci-fi show seem low cost but beyond this, the story is interesting and worth to have a chance.

Possibilities ahead
5 August 2019
No TV show will have to be cancelled without a proper end, at least for respect to the people that watches it, if not, lots of people wait until there are more seasons. And this is I think the case of this show, the plot and effects are quite interesting, it remain to see if season 2 will close the saga, maybe three seasons is to much.

Jinn (2019)
8/10
Not so bad
16 June 2019
Lots of bad comments but I found entertaining. True that it has not a lot of FX, if you look for that, go Aladdin but to me is a nice start, not every TV show has to havee them. Instead I encourage Jordanian actors to keep going. Do not hate or a Jinn will get to you!

Entertaining but not surprising
1 May 2019
The movie is good but it does not surprise at all but to see what expected possibility is chosen. Capitan Marvel and due to the overdose of characters, the other too, lack of the opportunity of developing well in the movie. Maybe the script should be more developed in two movies. Anyway, good for a lot of people.

It has been said that someone does not undertand the high scores... well, this is the magic of the cinema, that has a different impact on different people. Anyway, the results and stats are clear when you count the regular people that sits on the cinema...

The Bar (2017)
2/10
Very bad script even with good actors
16 August 2018
Call it bad is a favor. The story is so bad that even with good actors is boring. It lacks of mistety and an argumental line and at the end you have the feeling that you just used some time at the cinema so fresh.
