I don't know what happened, but where I was left wanting more after the fantastic first season I was so happy when the second season was announced.

After watching it I can only say WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT? Weird storytelling, bad acting, but first and foremost BAD WRITING. And not just put-your-brain-on-stand-by-and-enjoy-the-ride bad. No. Really bad. Unbearably bad.

First season was a 10/10. Second is a 2/10.

It would be so simple: just make the damn book into a show. It's all there. And easy to bring the screen.

But somehow they managed to completely ruin it, apart from a few good fight scenes.

There may be spoilers ahead. This movie makes me so mad, I just don't care!

The movie feels like the lowest effort the producers could put into it and still be able to call it an Uncharted movie.

The two good things about this movie are: Nolan North making a very small cameo appearance and... no wait, it's only one good thing.

I honestly hate it when actors play certain roles, just because they're currently extremely famous. Like Tom Holland. He is probably the worst Nathan Drake you could have chosen. Hell, even Mark Wahlberg would have been the better Drake.

As Sully though? He is a joke. Just take everything you know and love about Nate and Sully from the games, and then throw it overboard. Because Holland and Wahlberg are just two generic dudes with no charisma at all.

Even that Chloe actress is a lot closer to the games, and she was awful as well.

I honestly don't understand how you can take a game that already basically was a perfect movie, and make a movie about it that is so forgettable you don't even remember what they were hunting after.

Anyone remember that Uncharted short film with Nathan Fillion as Drake? Go and watch that 8 times in a row, still a lot better and a lot more Uncharted than this ruined attempt of a movie.

In short: if you liked the games, for the love of god don't watch this film. IT. IS. AWFUL.

Never before and never after Scrubs has there been a show this funny, this sad, this surreal and the same time very real as this one. It's a masterpiece of television with some of the best written characters, some of the best episodes of any TV show you will ever watch and a soundtrack that is sublime.

If you haven't watched Scrubs, watch it. And if you have, watch it again.

The story is only advancing because every single one of the characters makes the stupidest possible decisions every time they have to make one. This gets annoying from time to time.

However, I still felt entertained and watched the show till the end, since it's a pretty quick watch. Not wasted time, but if you like a bit of logic in your stories, you will - like me - feel annoyed half the time.

After Thor Ragnarok and Infinity War my expectations have been pretty high. But what happened? Well, it seems as if this movie is merely there to introduce Captain Marvel before Endgame, nothing more, nothing less. But unfortunately you have to make a 2 hour movie out of that introduction.

Brie Larson is a great actress. Except that in Captain Marvel she just isn't. She shows zero emotion, although there are many scenes where she could. She has pretty much zero character development and the story of the movie is so old and boring, I was literally shocked by how boring it really was.

Marvel had such a high standard with their movies in the last couple of years. Winter Soldier, Civil War, Guardians, Black Panther, Ragnarok, Infinity War, Spiderman... I was not expecting that the penultimate movie of the MCU would be on the level of Thor 1 or Iron Man 2. But unfortunately it is.

The CGI seems to not be on par with the others, the story definitely is far from it, the acting as well.

And then there's the all that striking 90s nostalgia, which is really just annoying. Street Fighter here, 90s music there, references to Grunge, VHS, etc. It's just not really built into the movie organically, but only to constantly tell you "REMEMBER, IT'S 1995 IN THIS MOVIE!!!" Found it annoying, although I was a teenager in the 90s and could emotionally attach to all of it.

This movie is too light-hearted as well, with no real threat at all and a comedic Nick Fury. (who was actually pretty great in this mess of a movie, I must say).

Long story short: for me - and please not it is my own personal opinion - this movie is the Green Lantern of the MCU.
