The Watchers (2024)
Mediocre compared to the book
I read the book the day before seeing the movie. I understand you have to take some things out to make a movie, but the book is just over 300 pages, so it's not like it was long. My biggest gripe about the movie is, it makes it seem like Mina was in the forest for no time at all. I saw it with my husband (who hasn't read the book) and he guessed Mina was there for like a week. It was around 2-3 months in the book. Little inconsistencies made the movie lose points for me. I'd say skip the movie and watch the book. Although, I enjoyed Dakota's performance. The rest of the cast did an okay job with what they were given.
Halloween Ends (2022)
Worst of the entire franchise
I grew up on the Halloween movies. They are my mothers favorites, so I've seen them all dozens of times. I had such high hopes for this new trilogy when the first one came out in 2018. Halloween Kills has grown on me the more I've seen it. I just finished this movie and you couldn't pay me to watch it again. They did a disservice to the franchise as well as Jamie Lee with this movie. Not to mention they made Allyson so strong the first 2 movies only to have her fall head over heels in love with a guy that she just met and becomes unrecognizable from the development she made from the first 2 movies.
Victorious (2010)
Funny but unbelievable
The show first aired when I was a senior in high school. I remember seeing episodes here and there and thought it was funny. Now that it's on Netflix 10 years later, I've watched most of the show. It's funny half of the time, but some of the jokes don't land. But it's completely unrealistic that time and time again Tori's singing chops beat out Cat's, Jade's, or even Andre's. For her to be the star, a better singer should have been cast. Or the supporting characters shouldn't be able to sing lightyears better.
Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments (2016)
Terrible so far
I read the first 3 books when they came out and I was in high school. I just reread all six of them and finished them within the last month. I decided to start the tv show to see if it was better than the awful movie they made. It's not. I'm halfway through the second season and this is GARBAGE. The actors that play Clary and Jace are terrible, in my opinion. And where it does touch on the main points usually, the way to the main points is nowhere near the same. The reviews kept saying it gets better, but it hasn't yet. Sucks nobody can do these books justice.
