There are some scenes that doesn't make sense and I don't like for this finale.

The fact that Langston didn't just kill the hostage immediately when he got Reacher just made it like the plot protected them.

Also the fight inside the helicopter was pretty badly stage... a lot of standing around and those 2 being strapped the whole time made it kinda hilarious. Also that Reacher made a tom cruise scene just made it toooo over the top.

Also, why destroying the helicopter with those 2 people inside...? It just leave a bad taste in my mouth. I can understand the reason for the scientist but for the helicopter guy... he didn't even partake in the fight...

Definitely could be better. I like the group. Neagley is amazing and them losing those friends was also emotional for me...

Guess if you stop taking it seriously and started to look at it as a comedy, it is pretty funny.

Set of live musicians to serenade your assassination work, amazing. The fact that they know where to hold their notes and up their strings for more suspense during such live scene showed how professional these musicians are and what a commitment they have to their art.

The harvesting scene that could double as an advertisement for schewepps, amazing. Should get in touch with that company for extra money.

Bloody passing around their backstory around the table, hell yeah... shortcut way on giving these forgettable characters some backstory.

And omg, using grains around their houses as their defense, 10/10 strategy, too bad they didn't attach the grains onto their body instead.

I'm still waiting for more shirtless scene in slow mo.

These "operative agents" are so dumb...

I love donald glover since his time in community and with his music career, but I just can't with this stupid script.

From the beginning, it was already so bad... the two on the run agents suddenly changing their mind, not even having some booby traps secured, etc. And how did the first person even die!? Shot from where and why the bullets didnt keep coming too as soon as the other agent went out the door.

AND OMG... the THEATER SCENE. IT GOT MY BLOOD BOILING. FREAKING HIDE YOUR PHONE AT LEAST. OR TEXT WITHOUT BLOODY LOOKNG AT YOUR PHONE. AS SOMEONE WHO HAD TEXT ALOT. YOU KNOW WHERE THE KEYBOARD IS WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING. TRY IT, I DARE YOU! Plus she is a professional! Not only it is rude but also DRAW ATTENTION TO YOURSELF! OR FREAKING USE AN OLD PHONE SINCE NEW PHONE HAS THE CHANCE OF BEING HACK AS WELL.

Improvement from the last 2 episodes but also like, maybe they ran out of budget lol.

Guess it is bit hard to have a good fighting scene with these many powers, but lol to that "get to the helicopter scene" because inside was on fire... but the building behind them wasn't lol.

I get what they wanted to do with the story line but like, in the end, marie also murder people and didnt feel traumatic at all... the trauma got shifted to blowing cate's hand.

But damn Homelander looks good. Love you Anthony.

Well, we shall see if s2 will be good / better. Rest in peace Andre though... Ive watched you in Sabrina and really love the character Ambrose, least in s1 before the story went meh as well.

I feel like it started out great but like... they started to rush it by this episode...

Things felt super jarring after Marie found the tracker in her shoulders. She rushed to Cate and the conversation just felt awkward. And she changed clothes after? And like Jordan was able to see the injury immediately after? And Marie was able to sense the tracker inside Jordan despite having her memory wipes? Is this a sign of her power growing but it wasn't even touched again after...

Like... it was just so painful to watch. Felt like they could have a smoother pace or something instead of what we were presented with.

Good things the soldiers have bad aim.

It is an action pack movie but like... the enemies are freaking dumb and have really bad aim.

I do feel sorry for the horse... they always died in these kind of movies but thankfully the dog is alright.

I think... thats about it. The plot is simple and like some scenes are too gory for me...

I would probably like it more if the enemies are smarter and have better aim lol.

But it is a semi watchable movie, like a mix between John Wick and the Revenant style, maybe. But yeah... these soldiers with such large ammunition and such bad aim and stupidity, especially at the last scenes. Thankfully this really bad aim saved the dog.

But that's about it.

I love Andrew Scott but he is too old for this series and doesn't even look like Dickie, which makes the plot even more thinner.

I never read the book but I watched the Talented Mr. Ripley movie and compared to that, this series is a letdown despite the total length of 8 episodes and the beautiful set pieces.

First of all, despite its length, I never got the chemistry between Dickie and Tom. They never became best friends and Dickie is just... so bland (especially compared to the character played by Jude Law). The highly anticipated boat scene became wtf for me for its sheer stupidity. Maybe if the point was to show how stupid and naive Dickie was, then it worked 100%.

Also, there is just some unrealistic / bad followed up scenes. Like Tom got super wet but then he appeared to be very dry in the next scene, or the clean up scenes where you would have thought there would be some implication considering how awful Tom is at cleaning up his own mess, but it never happened.

Don't know... I guess I was expecting something more but Tom appeared to win because the writer wrote him to win, not because of his own wit (much like the movie).

Oh, music is really good though. And the cat.

This is my all time favourite movie. Much like Mean Girls, there are a lot of iconic moments and lines - I still love the "I'm a Peacock, you gotta let me fly!" line and the wooden gun.

Eva Mendes is amazing in this movie, both on her looks and also her character. The fact that Will Ferrel is a Gator (and a pimp) is hilarious.

The endless TLC reference with Michael Keaton, comedy gold.

Everything about this movie is just hilarious and iconic. Good advertisement for Prius too.

This is also Mark Walhberg greatest movie. Love him in this movie and the ballet scene. Just a lot of opposite trope that is usually in these action movie. "These poles are horizontal." Lol.

A must watch for sure.

I'm not expecting much for an anime movie but I just wish they push the plot a little bit more. The pacing could also be better, and for a children anime movie (though 13+ rating), the movie felt quite long. Even I felt a bit bored in the middle of the movie.

So like...:

1. Pacing could definitely be better. There was a scene where they went to the market to buy some stuffs then the scene after that Anya discovered that there is a christmas market next to it and became very amazed by the lights... even though the current market and the christmas market dont look that much different.

It just added unnecessary runtime. Could be better if Anya was already in awe when they arrived at the market and Loid had to tell her to calm down and endrd up buying things by himself, which pisses Anya off because it supposed to be a family holiday.

2. The action scenes were all stuck towards the end. I would like it to be spread a little bit more because the middle scene was kinda a drag. I love slice of life moments but the slice of life moments were just rehashing of old stuffs. Yor thinking that Loid cheated on her. Anya thinking the family will break off. Same things we have seen in the anime and manga.

3. If they are doing it mission impossible style, I would love more look on the gorgeous location and more look at the culture. The chef didnt even make an appearance towards the end.

Like in the end, it is just another typical anime movie. It doesnt have ghibli like emotional depth or anything new. Like we all knows operation strix will not end because the manga still continued, same with the anime.

But the animation is gorgeous and very high quality. The unko scene was beautifully animated and its a pleasure to watch. Anya's thousand of expression also stood out.

Its not a bad watch but just a one time watch for me.
