Baldur's Gate III (2023)
Did I play the same game
First off, I can appreciate the time effort from the people & preformers who worked on this game, must been a lot of hard work that I couldn't have ever done, that said, wow, my goodness, I was watching reviews, 10/10's across the board, not a chance in hell, let's start with game play, there are better turn based games than this, it's very clunky & slow, the fights drag on for like 20 minutes, because of all the movements you have to do, also when not it battles you have to keep selecting jump to jump, you also have the speed of a slug, I wasn't really feeling the story about a slug in your brain or something, plus having to roll a dice for a random outcome, nah, it's gameplay is a shambles.
Nope (2022)
Nope way
Nope had the potential to become a classic, but the story is everywhere & the ending was a let down for me, but the acting is great, good chemistry & characters, I also think it was very well directed, im just disappointed that they didn't nail the script, but it's still a film I would recommend.
Prey (2022)
Prey they don't make another 1
Wow, talk about overrated, this is basically predator but set in the 18th century, people are saying it's a masterpiece, peoples standards must have dropped way low, it's ok at best passable but it's probably the 4th best film out of the 5, I honestly don't see the point in it, it added absolutely nothing 2 the predator, if anything it made them look weak again, they also changed the design of the predator for the worst, looks terrible, I honestly think people are overreacting saying it's amazing, like really? How?
I was actually called racist for not liking it 😂, all I can say is I loved domino in deadpool 2 I don't know anymore, I would recommend watching if you have watched everything in your list & have nothing else 2 do, it's not must see.
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
Why
I waited till this come on tv instead of going to the movies & I'm glad I did, the story is horrible, me & my wife came up with about 12 better ones watching it, I can only assume everyone who appeared are come back was contacted to do so, avoid, just watch the first one & that's all you need.
Hannibal (2013)
Slow cooker
Was recommended this because I love silence of the lambs & red dragon, I watched 3 episodes & it just doesn't work, I think the acting is good but I just couldn't get into it, watch silence of the lambs & red dragon, even go watch manhunter, they are far better.
Close to Me (2021)
?
Absolute garbage, nothing happens,
Most boring thing I've ever watched, I was actually thinking about what I will have do next week in work, how does stuff like this get funding, must be money laundering, only excuse.
Brand New Cherry Flavor (2021)
My eyes are bleeding
WTF did I jus watch, i managed 3 episodes, absolute diabolical, the plot is basically like a are you afraid of the dark episode but 1000000x worse, I actually cancelled my Netflix account after this, probably the worst tv show I've ever watched in my life, people actually wrote this like humans from planet earth.
Army of the Dead (2021)
Army of the bad writers
Army of the dead for me was very boring movie, I think the concept is a good 1 but it just feels like everyone had a idea & needed get it in, also some shots were really blurry, I didn't understand that direction, characters also very dull & annoying. I think teenagers may enjoy it but wasn't for me.
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
Ok
Was ok, better than last cut but was on for far to long
The Expanse (2015)
Just doesn't get going
7 episodes and I've given up, something about 3 tribes had a war that you never see, some guy looking for a girl than stops looking for a girl, beyond boring, looks nice & pretty tho & is well acted
The Mandalorian: Chapter 10: The Passenger (2020)
9/10. Why the hate?
Don't understand the hate this episode is getting, it makes the mandalorian more caring and has some funny moments in it, also the law or code of conduct is honoured by him, it also sets up a relationship with a new species. I think it's a great episode, plus the actual use of practical & CGI is spot on, it's well directed as well, everyone needs watch it it again, it actually adds more to the characters & is a vital episode for character development.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
Into the out of focus universe
Unwatchable, apparently they had 180 artists on this movie that decided to go with the worst art style ever, after 10 mins I thought my tv was broken so I tried it on another 1, was exactly the same, stupid out of focus backgrounds & trying something that didn't need to be done. I hope they do a in focus version because I would like to watch it. Stupid art department decision
Fall Guys (2020)
Ok if you are drunk
Not much skill involved in this game it's all about luck, it's okay wen few you're mates are around putting it on for a laugh but it's not the best
The Boys (2019)
The boring boys
Wow. Talk about overrated. This show bored me to sleep, it's so slow & boring. I've watched season 1 & 2 episodes of the 2nd & I've had 2 give up. I don't think it's clever or funny as people are making out, it's basically Hancock but without will smith
Cobra Kai (2018)
Cobra why? Because it's awesome
Cobra Kai should not be good, a series based off the karate kid, that will never work. But it does and here's why. For a start, the writing is excellent & character development is spot on, it's actually funny in parts to, Johnny is still stuck in the 80's & discovering new stuff & isn't very P.C. But you know deep down he's a good guy, I like how Danielson is Also a good guy but sometimes he can be a bit of a horrible sometimes. I only gave it a 8 because the second season is bit more centred on the kids, but they are still good. Overall this is one the most enjoyable shows I've seen in a while.
Cobra kai will never die
Tenet (2020)
Terrible characters, great action. Just ok
Tenet is ok film, not great but ok, I liked the action & how it was shot & it was a interesting concept but the characters are so bland, you don't really care about what's going on, everyone is saying Patterson is amazing, he isn't, passable but not the hype he's getting.
It's worth a watch maybe people who don't enjoy character development will like it but I think the Nolan fanboys will be hyping this 1 up.
Vikings (2013)
Watched 10 episodes. Didn't get going
I was recommended this I as am a fan of the last Kingdom, basically the same plot but the Vikings side, but after 10 episodes I can not watch anymore, now 10 episodes is 1 season & starting season 2. Nothing was happening, there was a little side twist but it probably belonged in eastenders instead of this, can honestly say it made me so bored I went bed at 7pm. Not for me
Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
The franchise has been terminated
Dark fate indeed. I couldn't think of a better way to put it myself. It's basically a remake & a bad 1. The first 5 minutes actually ruined the entire last 2 films (as this is 3, I don't know). Now we have terminator 1 but with different actors. T1 & T2 had characters, This had actors. Arnold is back so is Linda, and they are honestly terrible in this. Maybe if you didn't like terminator 1 or 2 you will enjoy it.
It Chapter Two (2019)
It should be scary not funny
It part 1 (2017) was 1 remake that got it right. Great story, great characters & was a horror first. Part 2 is basically a comedy & a bad one. There are parts in the movie we're they should be terrified what is happening but they just brush it off & joke about it. There is a part we're a song plays & it's so out of place. Only thing I can say is good is flashbacks with the child actors who are honestly better than the adults. Disappointed
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)
Best trilogy ever
How many great trilogy's is there? Well John wick may actually be the best we have seen. The first film was a brilliant revenge story, the 2nd added more, the 3rd maybe the best.
John Wick chapter 3 continues straight off we're chapter 2 finished so I recommend watching that just prior before going watching the movie. Let's start with the action, absolutely fantastic, I actually wanted to stand up & clap after every action scene, amazing stuff, the direction as well was top notch again, no shaky cam, no camera switch's every 5 seconds, just long continual shots were you will see all the action, the film looks beautiful as well so props to the cinematography, also props to anyone involved in the movie.
Keanu Reeves again fantastic stunt work & is probably 1 the best action hero stars ever. Also Halle Berry, amazing as well,
Great continuation of the story, building on a fantastic universe they have created, I'm so glad movies like this are still being made & dare I say this should be in contention for a few Oscar nominations.
And thank you to everyone involved in the film, i will definitely be going watching it again 👏👏👏👏👏
Rocky V (1990)
The underdog of the rocky saga
Rocky V is a very underrated movie. Even Stallone doesn't like it which I don't understand why. After the events of rocky 4 u can tell Rocky is in bad shape & to make matters worse he has lost his money & has to go back to we're he came from. The streets. The movie has a good message saying it's not all about money, it's about family & friends. Rocky eventually starts training Tommy Gunn, a young hungry boxer who has the tools but not the skill to become champion. Rocky is basically Micky now, a full 180. Stallone is excellent as rocky again, & the end credits are great with flash backs of the story. I would have been happy to end the whole rocky story like that.
The only thing I didn't like was sage Stallone as his son(RIP) I didn't think he was a good actor but that's about it. It's was a good ending to a saga & I honestly think this is better than rocky balboa. If you haven't watched it in a while give it another go, it's actually aged really well. That scene in the gym we're he has a flashback of Micky is probably the best thing that has been in the whole saga.
Captain Marvel (2019)
Captain average
Captain marvel is not a good film but it isn't bad, jus ok. Let's start with the good, Samuel Jackson de aging CGI actually deserves a Oscar, it is amazing, fury befriends a cat which honestly is the best thing in the movie (I'm not a crazy cat person), there is some 90's nostalgia, not to much, the film doesn't rely on it which is good. The story is ok & easy to follow which is a positive.
Now the not so good:
I think Brie Larson isn't good, she is very robotic, I know she can do better & she was brilliant in room but I don't know if it was the direction she was given but it was a poor prefomce, speaking of direction the action is not directed well at all, very close shots & sometimes you don't know what is going on. Also u can skip this movie, it really doesn't add anything to the marvel universe that could have been introduced in a 5 minute scene.
In conclusion if you have nothing to watch this weekend I would recommend you see it, but I was a little disappointed, but it's not as bad as some people are making out. It's passable but I think marvel could have done alot better
Maniac (2018)
I wasted my life with 2 episodes
The plot: none
The explanation: none
Some guy who can run like the flash, not explained, honestly I'm sure people are sheep or brainwashed into saying new shows are good, there Is nothing going for it. They only good thing I can say it made me really sleepy so I had a great sleep, so that's why I have given it that extra star, brilliant sleeping aid.
The Predator (2018)
Why haven't they learned that we don't want super predator
All I wanted was a predator hunting, that's all they had to do, but no, We get another super predator making the original one weak. The characters jus don't seem afraid of the predator, they start having a laugh & a joke every chance they get. I think making it into a comedy was the wrong idea. That's what's wrong with it, what's right with it Is the original predator looks awesome, there is 1 good scene that I won't spoil but you probably seen it in the trailer. The original score is back, which is great but that's it, the rest is just boring bland comedy. I can guarantee we won't see another predator film any time soon, this is a franchise killer
Iron Fist (2017)
One of the worst first episodes ever
OK I will admit, I know nothing about iron fist. But I do like marvel films. Take guardians of the galaxy, I knew nothing about the characters but a hour into it I loved it, this tho, I don't understand why he's called iron fist, did he win a extreme iron competition while he was missing or something. I can't even remember his name. Maybe this is made for the hardcore fans because I got nothing from it
