Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
Bittersweet Ending!
This movie series is my favorite out of all the marvel movies, I really enjoyed some of the other MCU movies but this series was different, unique and had a certain "je ne sais quoi" that really made it work and made the first one so damned good.
In this series the first was the best one which they nearly replicated in the second movie however this third and last installment lost that something that made it all work great, something was off and missing or lacking in the characters and I feel they just didn't work as well as in the other two movies.........Thus a 7/10 for me. I kind of feel the writers did not do a very good job in this last one.
Lots of that has to do with the whole Gamora thing as I felt Gamora was done dirty and things end really badly for Quill. Really though it's not just quill as I dislike the ending and how the "family" really all kind of splits up and mostly go their own way.......to me it was a darker, bittersweet ending.
Now if Star Lord does return like implied in the post credit scene they really have their jobs cut out for them and if they try to reintroduce any kind of romance they will have to do a damn good job at it to replace Gamora.....
Also this third move in the series.... I feel the music didn't work as epically as in the first two.
Don't get me wrong this is still a better movie than lots of the other MCU movies out there but it is definitely the lesser of the 3 GOTG movies.
Ahsoka (2023)
Awful cinematography!
Soooooo........ 10 min into episode one and OMFG this looks like crap.....dunno who is in charge of the sets and filming but this does not look good or "authentic" at all. Looks super fake and is visually sucky.
Did Disney run out of budget for this or wtf?
Jokes on me for expecting some Mandalorian type quality I guess.....very disappointing!
Mandalorian cinematography = excellent aka This is the Way
Ashoka cinematography = trash This is Not the Way.
Looks fake AF, everything is too clean and it doesn't translate well to the screen, everything looks too antiseptic...even Ashoka's lekku (the head tails) look fake and cheap. What I heard in the first episode was also bad cheesy and wooden dialog too.
How they went from looking great like in The Mandalorian to this cheap looking, amateur hour stuff is really sad, Ashoka deserved better.
SMH what is going on at Disney......
Ted Lasso (2020)
Epic Show!
When I first ran across this show I thought eh it would be good to fill in the gaps and binge watch when I was between good shows I had more interest in. I quickly changed my mind though as this show was pretty damned epic through all three seasons.
The last episode which is the season three finale and show finale really gets you in the feels and makes you happy and a little sad that the journey is over all at the same time.
I just have to give it 10/10 cause I just enjoyed the show that much and enjoyed the characters that much!
The rest of this is the stupid obligatory character count IMDB thought would be a good idea to implement.....not!
The Witcher: Blood Origin (2022)
Terribly bad garbage.......
I do not write reviews much since imdb requires an inane amount typing to be able to share the simple fact that you enjoyed or did not enjoy something...that said I just had to express my disgust at this show.
First the writing and story was truly bad and awfully generic but generic in bad, unintelligent way that was not entertaining at all. Netfilx needs to fire the writers for this show and get ones that actually know the witcher lore and enjoy the books.
The "elves" in the witcher are suppose to be more akin to Lord of the Rings elves with grander towns and cities etc etc.
Instead we get some generic pointy eared humans living in generic medieval hovels with nothing elven like about them and not only are they not elven like in their surroundings they are not very elven like in speech or looks. Seriously writers need to first of all respect the lore when writing a series based off the books and clearly these writers do not.... like at all. I mean I do not care if there have asian elves and elves of different ethnicity however can we please make the elves you know be elves rather than humans with pointy ears?
Last but far from least Witchers are/were a human creation to defend themselves from monsters and the dangers in this new world they find themselves in, making this into a "it comes from elves" is asinine and again totally disrespects the witcher lore......I fear the horrible adaptation they will do when it comes to the Elder Blood..........
Netflix needs to seriously consider firing this writing team and get some that know the lore and are passionate about it rather than hate it.
The Winchesters (2022)
Big fan of Supernatural
I am a big fan of Supernatural and that series was pretty great from the music in each episode to the episodes stories themselves. It had good overarching plot lines too which brought it home.
I came in wanting to like this series, I came in open minded even with the retconning of daddy Winchester being a hunter so early on and even more so after I found out there's a reason which will explain this change BUT you have to watch the whole season to find out about it.
I think the overarching plotline seems quite interesting and want to see more of that.
However I am having trouble watching each episode due to some seriously problems.
The acting is really kind of bad and the actors themselves are not very appealing and are frankly failing at drawing me into the show. The actors are failing to bring the charisma to the characters that was very present in the Supernatural series. The monster of the week seem to be subpar and the effects seem kind of low budget to boot.
I mean that "werewolf" in episode one looked like a bad college prank costume.....there needs to be more in each episode to draws us in like the original did and so far not impressed with the music soundtrack. There's been like one good song so far, All Right Now - Free.....
Gods of Egypt (2016)
Can't believe I missed this movie till now....
I totally missed this movie and just ran across it today. I really enjoyed it. I thought the effects were pretty good and can only think it would have grossed more $$ if I dunno more of us were actually aware of it!
The acting is good and while the movie itself is nothing groundbreaking it's a really nice jaunt through Egyptian mythology.
The rest here is for the new BS obligatory , silly and truly asinine word count the site now requires as I guess they just want us to give a star rating and move on unless we are willing to write short story in these reviews. It's truly stupid and a good way to cut out the voice of a big majority of the people using IMDB.
Motherland: Fort Salem: Revolution Part 2 (2022)
Silly ending to a silly show
This could have been so much better, instead it was full of silly ideas and silly details and ending on an even sillier note.
My goodness who thought the silly foot stomping was a good idea?
The creators and writers of this show really need to read far more urban fantasy novels, if they had this show might actually have been good.
Instead we end up with a x men type scenario except where magneto actually turns all humans into mutants without their consent...LOL.
Also this new reviews, "It needs to contain at least 600 characters" minimum is highly undesirable.
We don't want all reviews to become walls of text spam. We read reviews to get a general idea about what people think of the tv show or movie not to get some in depth mini novel or synopsis of it.
Red Rose (2022)
Not bad...
Not bad but typical stupid ending and frankly the kids were stupid all through the season. Could have been better but okay to watch if you got nothing else at the moment.
Primal: The Primal Theory (2022)
Total crap unrelated to the show or main characters!
Primal is and was a show about a cave boy and his dino and eventually a more modern cave girl. It was very "primal" with no talking and just feeling and emotions and the little talking the more modern cave people did was not understandable. The show was all connected and followed the main characters....
This episode is some filler crap and time jump to 1890 with zero ties to the show or main characters. Sorry but if this turns into a bunch of one off stories like this the show is going to tank bad and for good reason..... a big fat zero for me on every episode till they get back to what made this show great.
I want more 10,000 BC and clan of the cave bear type stuff related to our main characters not this 1890's garbage.
The Sandman (2022)
Loved it!
I totally enjoyed and loved this show! I never read the comics so I guess I am coming without any expectations.
That said I am truly not a fan of silly changes just to be "woke" however in this show I didn't care that for example they made constantine female and a descendant of john constantine as none of what some others are review bombing this show for really matter as it is not central to the show, like at all, unlike many other shows where the wokeness becomes the whole point.
Can't wait for the next season!
Prey (2022)
Disregard the low raters....one of the better ones in the franchise
Some of the low ball ratings are made for far fetched and even hateful reasons. I have watched all the predator related movies and this is easily one of the better ones!
The Orville: Twice in a Lifetime (2022)
Could have been great..........
This would have been a great episode if the Orville hadn't been the bad guys at the end and if the bad guys hadn't won along with the good guy praising them.....seriously.
Also I am tired of people from the past being "bad people"....the people of the future are not any better than people from the past...they just have the benefit of their ancestors mistakes to learn from...writers need to get their heads out of their backsides and get over this trope.
The Lake (2022)
Meh time waster....
Overall this show was pretty meh, with some really bad amateur writing and story lines.
Julia Stiles must be really hard up for work to have agreed to be in this.....
Ms. Marvel (2022)
Just not for me....
It was just far too childish, I really feel this would do much better on something like DisneyXD or Nickelodean. Not really wanting such young audience targeted material as I have to put up enough with teeny bop stuff on regular tv.
Severance (2022)
Remarkable!
Really loving this show and the season ending...OMG can't wait for season two now! It's a bit slow at first but it is worth the watch110% for sure.....................
Halo: Homecoming (2022)
Another meh episode due to little rebel girl.....
As it stand this show is boring due to not enough action in the right places...frankly who care about little rebel girl?
She is boring and uninspired and I just want to skip her parts to get back to Master Chief. This little rebel girl story line is making the show feel cheap like an old 80's low budget apocalyptic show or tv movie......
The show loses 5 stars from my rating just cause rebel girl is in it and thus I want to skip half of each episode basically.
Travelers (2016)
Happy it got canned....
This show used real life footage from a terrible tragedy that happened in 2013 in the Lac Megantic rail disaster, I had distant relatives die in this, and found this to be frankly crass, tasteless and very offensive......shame on you netflix. In The show the in show footage of the "nuclear explosion in london" was actual footage of the rail disaster......google it people if you don't believe me......
Billions (2016)
Started great......however
The first 2 season were really good however in season 3 things all start to down the crapper.
Frankly almost everyone except connerty and maybe taylor should go down for the corrupt douches they really are and that includes wendy.
The King's Daughter (2022)
Simple yet charming
I enjoyed this movie, the characters were likable and even though it's a very simple movie, no complicated plot twists that's for sure, it was quite charming and fun to watch.
It's more like a fairy tale rather than some grand fantasy adventure and works well as such.. I feel that lots of the negative reviews wanted this movie to be something it isn't...it's not a lord of the Rings type movie for sure so if you want such a type of movie you will be disappointed.
I Care a Lot (2020)
Found myself not caring about this movie...
I found it to be pretty garbage, I mean there was some good actors in it however the script was pretty awful.
The movie was frankly really predictable, lame and the characters unappealing.
It's difficult to enjoy a movie when it so predictable with such an uninspired script and frankly you don't like the main characters and kind of want them to die.
Movies such as this you really need to have a protagonist you can really root for even if they are not nice people but this one...meh
At least the ending was decent thus 1 star instead zero.
The Wheel of Time (2021)
OMG stick to the books......
There's so much content in the books I get why they need to cut some out..... but for the love of all that is good and holy don't start adding content that was never in the books, especially if it's going to mess up later story lines......
Too many stupid changes, that never happened in the books, in the vain attempt to MTV this up for a new generation, with a sprinkle of game of thrones too.
While much better than the Legend of Seeker adaptation people that read the books will be quite irritated with the changes.....the acting could have been better too.
Beauty and the Geek Australia (2009)
A travesty that shouldn't exist....
The conditions the participants are subjected to should be considered criminal, even prisoners in jail/prison are not subjected to such things as sleep deprivation etc etc that happens in this show to these people.
Oh the the geeks are told not to cut their hair for 3 months before filming and when they show up they are dressed by the producer, are not arriving in their own cloths. The make overs are a sham where most of them are just given back their own cloths etc etc.....
Risen (2021)
I would give it less than 1 star if I could......
Sub par everything, acting, story, acting, effect, acting etc etc.
It's just bad , not even cult following bad either.....
Boss Level (2020)
Highly underated flick!
This movie was very good I highly enjoyed it! Worth the watch and about the only thing I didn't like was the ending which is why only 9 out of 10 stars.
That said I hope they will make another that keeps on from the end of this one.
Not sure why I never heard of this movie before now but if no one is much aware of it it wold explain why it doesn't have a better rating.
Highly underrated!
The Birch (2019)
Surprisingly good
Came into to this not expecting much and to my surprise it's really good! The acting is good, the story line is quite interesting.
