The Defenders (2017)
Very weak
20 minutes of plot stretched out to 8hrs.
It succeeds in taking Iron fist, one of my favourite Marvel characters and cementing him as the most 2 dimensional and irritating characters ever. Can we just remove him please? It didn't redeem him from the cardboard cliché that he was in his own show.
The fight scenes were repetitive and dull. It's been 18 years since the matrix, 35 since Enter the dragon. Why is the fighting so boring?
Best thing about it was the punisher trailer at the end. Poor show.
Extant (2014)
cliché'd, wooden and dull.
Just watched the first episode of Extant...Terrible. A string of sci fi rip offs held together in the style of a daytime true story drama. There is nothing original about this programme. The soundtrack is a sampled loop from a weak episode of day of our lives and halle berry's acting breaks the mould when it comes to absurd. The kissing scene alone is just weird. Lord knows what her direction was. If you feel the need to watch this, don't bother.
Cliché count. Evil robots, tick Creepy kid, tick. Shady Japanese corporation, tick. Space ghosts/aliens, tick. Shocking revelations that don't seem shocking because they've occurred in other sci fi films, tick. Strong female character who looks a bit knackered and ropey, tick.
Solaris, Progeny, Alien, AI, all ripped off. Load of trite.
The Blacklist (2013)
Rubbish
At points i didn't know if i was watching a cliché'd parody of a 90's FBI series or something that actually was supposed to be taken seriously. From the score to the direction to the stereotypical and hackneyed Hannibal/Starling main character relationship, this programme goes out of it's way to be unoriginal. don't waste your life. Absolute tripe.I'm supposed to write 10 lines for a successful review. How can i drag this out? Spader is OK, but i just like spader. Everything else is just so boring and two dimensional. In a time where Breaking bad, the Wire, Deadwood, Mad men are ruling the roost programmes like this need to up their game.
Romasanta (2004)
Lackluster and dull
In the desperate hunt to find a werewolf film of any standing discovered Romasanta. Unfortunately it seems i've wasted over two hours on a movie which had the feel of a bad TV history re-enactment drama. My housemate and fellow viewer pointed out a variety of continuity errors. We agreed that It's poorly acted, scripted, dull and drags like a dog with worms drags his arse across the carpet. I can't submit this review without writing ten lines but I really don't know what to say anymore, apart from we yawned a bit and stared at the wall a few times. We discussed how clapping originated, looked at his new shoes that he'd purchased online and how there aren't many good werewolf films, which is a shame.
But really I wouldn't bother watching this if I were you.
