Initial D (2005)

Tough to say....

[7/10 · 13 December 2020]

Well, music is terrible and I feel like there's no need to discuss this.

Regarding the rest, I've watched all stages of anime countless times, comparing movie to it... it's clear that they were low on budget (lack of characters from the original anime, racing only on one mountain, certain races being changed from how they were in original... but then again, there's only so much you can do in real life compared to what you can do in anime...

Overall, if you put all the anime/manga backstory aside, movie is enjoyable and it's fairly fine (excluding the music), but this movie is no match to the anime in any way.

General (2019)

Solid in terms of movie quality, questionable story...

[7/10 · 13 August 2019]

Alright so here's the thing, they got the Croatian all star line up of actors which is something that I like, quality of the movie was pretty good, acting.. not great but pretty good as well(there are certain "meh" moments), there are a lot of scenes which were unfinished and questions left unanswered..( What happened with the family in Columbia, did Nikica survive in the end?, What was with The General.. did he get in jail, got killed, nothing.. etc?), story is a little bit biased imo, yes it's correct but it's too... let's say soft, it seems like every town was empty and there was no resistance at all from the JNA/Serbia, Croatian solders were too perfect and fight/gun scenes were.... empty

But ya, overall movie is not that bad

Lucifer (2016– )

Not surprised...

[7/10 · 17 May 2018]

Honestly saying, I did like the show overall but I'm not surprised that It was cancelled, first two seasons were great thats for sure but regarding third...

season two ends by Lucifer wanting to confess/reveal his secret to Chloe however he got knocked out... now season 3(pretty much the problems)

1)Why is he in LA, and who put him there? Eventually sorted out alright.

2)Who's Sinnerman? Yes they did catch him but it should be fairly obvious that the characther like him(the fake guy) could not give out favours to the people, at least not that influencial ones.

3) Marcus... like who the hell is this guy? Pretty much you brought to the season not new characther but a new STAR, he showed up as some sort of "alpha male", competition for the Lucifer etc. but he was brought into the show way too fast and in the way too agressive manner, like alright you can add him but you cant really out of nowhere randomly put a guy in there who's going to take everything(story line wise) from one guy so pretty much everyone else is lost, throught the whole season 3 Lucifer was lost and Chloe confused etc...

4) Lack of action, if we exclude like the last two episodes, there was definitely the lack of action both from the Lucifer as the devil and overall some fighting etc.

Honestly saying I could count plenty more of the mistakes in the season 3 but considering how the plot was I just don't see a reason for season 4(especially no if its going to be a doubt whatever if she can or can't live with the devil)

Castle (2009–2016)

Great series,worth of watching.

[10/10 · 12 November 2016]

Overall I have rated this 10/10 but for me its something more like 9.5/10

Watched every season,overall I really liked Castle's role to turn crimes into "mystery" and turning the series into something what I call low-class horror and overall having lets say kind of a good storyline.

The only mistake I see from the series is part about those 3 months and part where Beckett and Castle were separated,I don't really want to say anything else to avoid any spoilers.

I'd say that the best episodes that I saw were: Hollander woods and Demons.

The Following (2013–2015)

Terrible series,waste of time.

[3/10 · 12 November 2016]

One of the wrost series which I've ever watched,found it on TV and did watch couple of episodes but its just terrible.

I cant find any sense in this at all,you have obsessed FBI hunter,way too much people following Joe and committing crimes which doesn't make any sense,I mean unless someone says that Joe managed to hypnotise/brainwash every person which he met then series doesn't make any sense,mainly because crimes and kills that Joe and his followers commit is nonsense. I mean, IMDb says "Did you know?-At least one person gets killed in every episode"

I don't think that at least one person gets killed in every episode,at least one person gets killed in every 3 scenes.

The Shallows (2016)

Im kind of disappointed...

[3/10 · 17 October 2016]

Now,I have watched movie,when it started I was like..alright seems interesting(maybe first 5-10mins) but then I really couldn't watch it anymore..it felt like I'm in some sort of cage where I have to watch same scene 5 times.

There're like no actors?(beside the main female character I don't see anyone else really)

There're no actual scenes to make you think,alright this is going to happen,or to get hyped that there's some change or anything.

There were no surprises in the movie,music pretty much stopped every time before shark attacked.

I really cannot give better amount of points(3) to a movie which only got good background story and one actor,while other 5 I think? (2 friends,kid,drunk guy,Carlos) in the scene like less then 15mins? While movie's length is 1 hour and half
