Reacher: New York's Finest (2024)
Ridiculous gun fights
I tried to switch off my brain but that only got me so far. The suspension of ANY common sense is required to get through this episode. The gun fights are ridiculous. The car chase of the cop and the guys behind him with machine guns is pure comedy. There is literally no other car or person on the street for the whole chase except one rubbish truck. No one in all the apartments surrounding the shootout opens a window to see the shooting or calls the cops. Cop sacrificed himself for no reason rather than waiting for back up. He thought his invisible 'main character bubble' would protect him? This was Reachers worst episode yet. Spent the whole episode talking with my wife how bad the writing and direction was. Disappointing.
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
Con the fruiterer
When Russell Crowe looked for inspiration for the accent of Zeus, surely he looked no further than Con the Fruiterer. (Google it). Russell hams it up with his mock Greek accent but sadly every joke falls flat. And that accent is symptomatic for the rest of the film. Wrong in tone and trying hard to be funny but nobody is laughing. Ragnarok somehow nailed the right amount of action and comedy but this movie misses the mark.
Outer Range (2022)
Dumb and boring
I made it as far as episode 7 but I bailed. So dumb and boring. Nothing makes sense. I think the script writers crushed that mysterious ball and ate the powder before writing this. Lol. So disjointed and overly dramatic. Why couldn't they make at least one character likeable? Why couldn't they find a composer that wasn't so clunky with laughable and distracting sounds. So bad. The worst Amazon show I gave seen yet. Might be time to cancel the subscription.
Outer Range: The Unknown (2022)
I'm out
I was waiting for this show to get better but it just didn't go anywhere. It's just so boring. A series of unrelated scenes, with unlikeable characters, with overly dramatic music. The badly choreographed scene with the two weirdos slowly walking toward each other step by step in the car park was the nail in the coffin for me. Amateurish trash. I tried to hang in there but I'm out.
The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian (2022)
Fail
When the show creators realised the Boba show was a failure, they seemed to have rushed out a future Mando episode that had been filmed. Due to the lack of content they padded out the run time with a boring 20 minute science of a ship being rebuilt. Train wreck.
The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger (2022)
What is going on?
It seems that once the shows creators saw how bad this show was, they diverted the last few episodes across to show the new Mando season that had already been filmed in order to 'save' the series and retain Disney subscribers. Maybe one day they will release the episodes that were actually shot for TBOBF.
The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 3: The Streets of Mos Espa (2022)
Disappointing
I wanted to love this show but feel so disappointed. There is a lot of talent that should have made this show what we all wanted it to be but something has gone wrong. The tone is off and the person well all grew up believing Boba Fett was is completely different to the person in this show and that's being served up each week.
The Little Things (2021)
Something went wrong
How can three great actors sign up for this turd of a movie. Dialogue is laughable. Editing is woeful. Introduction is interesting but is barely related to the movie. It ends up being a story of getting the audience to root for corrupt cops covering up murders of innocent people. Two hours of my life I won't get back. The three stars is solely based on Leto's performance. At least he tried while the others phoned it in.
Succession: All the Bells Say (2021)
Take a bow. Mindblowing
I never thought another show could come close to Breaking Bad for the effect it had on me but Succession has done it. I laughed. I cried. I held my breath as Roman was put on the spot at the showdown. I didn't see the twist coming. Amazing writing. Stunning acting. Cinematography some of best I have experienced. Cinema worthy. The talent behind this show is on another level to anything else out there.
Yellowstone: I Want to Be Him (2021)
Downhill
After a brilliant episode one this season has gone gradually downhill. Getting weaker with each episode. Sad. Was such a great show. Kevin Costner character sleeping with a vegan woman the same age as his daughter feels out of character. He helps a calf back over a fence and wins her respect. Um, ok. The WWE fight between and injured man and an old cowboy. Way over the top. Senseless. Rip losing both the respect of his team and the audience with his lack of common sense. Casey's wife so jealous of a random character she can't sleep. Pointless scene. The Father that organised assassins convinces his angry do gooder son in a two minute scene to forgive him and hug him. Yeah, ok. What happened?
The Shrink Next Door (2021)
Hard to watch
The actors are great but the story is stomach churning hard to watch. Seeing someone being taken advantage of episode after episode is not great viewing. I will continue to the end but hoping the evil doctor gets what coming to him.
Hawkeye (2021)
Popcorn time filler
My kids liked it. I persevered with it but had to switch my brain off and ride the wave. Boring and made for pre teens. Renner is overrated. Has he done anything good in the last 5 years? If anything positive is to be said it would be that some of the special effects are great.
Mayor of Kingstown (2021)
Let down
Big fan of Yellowstone which brought me here. What a huge disappointment this show is. Agenda driven. Lack of imagination with the script. Every sentence featuring the F word in a boring attempt to make it gritty. Unlikeable characters. I'm out.
Tenet (2020)
Indulgent
Way too hard to understand. Not enjoyable. Dialogue purposely written to confuse all but those willing to return and mind map the plot but why bother putting in so much effort. It's meant to be entertainment not a science class. The sound mix is purposely off balance with voice mixed low and music mixed loud. Not a fan.
The Sinner: Part VIII (2020)
So bad.
Series 1 excellent. Series 2 good. Series 3 terrible. So bad. Messy. Doesn't make sense. Terrible script. Hated it.
