Squid Game: The Challenge (2023)
Terrible, just bad
This show is terrible, it took everything fun and exciting from the show and ripped it all apart. Would be better if they just stuck to the damm game. Instead they film it like a reality tv show where they talk about their problems when not playing the game. It focus on a few characters of the 400 or so. I mean if you going to interview, at least get more people. Some of the poor guys are like background actors, you never hear from them. Some of them could be in a alliance or something, but you never hear from them. You just see the shock look of their team members. Oh gosh... what a let down. I was really looking forward to this. Not reality tv trash.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon (2023)
Boring
They took one of the favorite characters from the original walking dead show and stuck him in a boring story. The story moves way too slow. Besides daryl, you really don't care about the other characters.
The back story is also very uninteresting, you get it through the view of one of the female characters.
The zombie action is same old same old. We had so many seasons of the walking dead original series, that zombie deaths just isn't exciting anymore.
Whats missing in this show is other characters that you like as much as daryl, or as interesting as daryl.
Unsure if i will continue with this show, if there aren't more reason for me to watch except for daryl.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)
my gosh... this is what a sequel should be, better than the first
To be quite honest, the first one was unique, but i didn't think it was great. This movie took everything it learned from part 1 and made vast improvements on every level.
This was the multiverse movie i was looking for that the mcu just never did properly. The worlds had depth and not just skipping through it as fast as possible without a chance to digest it.
Story was good too, i wasn't expecting much, since we already got the backstory in part 1. But they did a great job expanding the story.
Animation also improved from part 1, it was really unique, but they just made it better.
By far my favorite part are the cameo's of different spidermans. There's so many, this is fan service done right.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
Still missing the Marvel Magic
The movie is still missing the marvel magic. Well i enjoyed the movie, it just wasn't great. To me its another middle of the pack mcu movie.
The movie is mostly center around rocket racoon, which for the most party, i really enjoy his back story which was quite sad.
But with disney, they did the same thing that ruined thor: love and thunder. They injected a lot of cheap jokes and 1 liners that ruined the seriousness of the movie for me.
Outside of rocket racoon, i didn't really like the other characters, as most of them are really only there for comic relief.
They had a violent fight scene, which surprised me for a disney movie.
I don't know if i would recommend this movie, especially if you didn't like love and thunder.
Kimetsu no Yaiba: Katanakaji no Sato-hen (2023)
terrible, if you watched it already, most of it is just rerun
Who releases a movie like this... when most of it is just rerun of the last 2 episode of the entertainment district which most fans of the anime saw already. And after each they played the intro and end credits to waste time but not show new footage.
So you are just sitting waiting for the rerun and recap to end so they show new footage. When they finally did, and you get excited for it, the movie is over, and the lights come on.
This maybe good for people that just watched the last movie and skipped the anime. But if you watched the anime already, this is a total waste. I can't believe it...
1899 (2022)
its dark, but its no good.
Its dark, but its no good, i gave it a couple of episodes, and i found it to be painfully boring. There's not really any hook for you to watch from episode to episode. I'm waiting for something exciting to happen, but it never does. It was moving way to slow getting to the back stories of each of the characters, none of which i care about.
Worst part of the show is that while trying to be realistic and having each of the characters speak their native language, you spend most of the show reading subtitles. Normally i wouldn't mind reading while enjoying the show, except the show isn't exciting at all. Felt more like a chore. I gave up on it.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)
Another movie that is just mid
The pacing of the movie wasn't good. Some of the scenes and plot moved way too slow. The villian story moved slowed and was boring. This movie was a tribute to chadwick bosman. A lot of sadness in a couple of scenes in the movie. Parts i didn't like is they shoehorned in riri williams. Honestly, she wasn't needed. It always bothers me that instead of focusing on the movie itself, its trying to introduce another character so that she can be on disney plus, which i don't care for at all. Also the lack of strong male figures in this movie bother me, the ones that are in it are comedy goofs. The cgi and some fight scenes were cool, the underwater cgi was not.
Locke & Key (2020)
its ok, i enjoyed it
Its ok, i enjoyed it, just gotta throw logic out the window. With so many keys doing so many different things. You are always thinking, why they didn't use this key or that key. Why isn't the character doing this or that. Why isn't the villian eliminating that person. But just enjoy it for what it is.
Most eps leave with a cliff hanger so you are excited to see the next ep.
Acting was ok, most of them are young adults or kids, you you can't be expecting oscar contending acting here.
The special effects are enough that it doesn't look cheesy. I binged watch all 3 seasons when they came out, but it looks like that's the end of the story.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
not good enough
The story isn't good enough. It moves way too slow and isn't interesting. The acting is rather poor. I know they are elves, but the actress seems so robotic and angry all the time. Only good thing about the show is the cgi, when they pan out, the world they try to create actually looks really good. Unfortunately, there isn't anything interesting enough to hook me on this show. I love the lord of the rings series movies, so i had very high expectations, unfortunately, this show didn't meet it. The 2 stars goes to the cgi team, you can tell they put a lot of time and effort into this show. Overall, I do not recommend this show, they should of have something to hook me into into it.
Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)
its not good
Its not good, negative 10 if i could. The lone star is given to ewan mcgregor, he really wanted to redeem himself since the prequels were not liked. What killed the show was the acting of some of the characters. They weren't just bad, they were go away bad. And some really awful scenes that that were so bad that turned into memes. Star wars fans please skip.
Ms. Marvel (2022)
another disappointment from disney+
As a seasoned mcu fan, this is not for me. Its childish tone is a lot worse than the hawkeye series. It was a very slow burn, they could of cut a few episodes and not miss anything. It got a little more interesting the last 2 eps, but overall the series was pretty dry and boring.
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
love the cast, hated the sillyness
Its always nice to see the guardians cast and the thor cast. But this movie abandoned any good story telling and infused it with tonnes of sillyness. I mean i expect a few from taika waititi, but there was an overload of it. There were barely any scenes where he didn't try to make it silly. Good for a young disney audience, but for a seasoned mcu fan, this film isn't up to par.
Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)
much more bonkers than a james gunn movie
I complain that they don't make anything good outside comic book movies, so when they try something different i have to judge it differently. Its an immigrant story that just goes of the rails in weirdness, get more and more weird as the movie goes on. While i like the weirdness that they tried, i didn't love it so i gave this movie an average score.
The Batman (2022)
its ok, but not great
The movie was too long, they could of cut some scenes and not missed anything. Straight up detective movie, not really my type of superhero movie. The cinematography and acting was ok. Problem with this movie is that its dark, where as I like fun super hero movies. To me, the dark knight is still the best Batman movie.
Jigeum uri hakgyoneun (2022)
good but not great
Its a good zombie show, was slow at parts but i overall enjoyed the show. Best thing about korean dramas on netflix is i don't have to watch force diversity or identity politics that are plaguing the U. S t.v shows.
Hawkeye (2021)
Not my type
Hawkeye is one of my fav characters in the mcu. I didn't feel like they did him justice in this show. First of all, the show's direction is holiday, goofy type which already is a let down for me. The villains are bland and predictable. The show picked up a bit with the last 2 episodes, but the goofiness was too much for me.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
woo!!!!! *claps hands*
Never have i've been to a movie where so many people screaming woo. And clapping their hands at scenes. This is such a fan service movie that reconciles all the previous spiderman movies. If you enjoyed any of the other spidy movies, this is a must watch because its the icing on the cake.
Eternals (2021)
Mediocre, not my type of mcu movie
Love interest with each other, bland villains, time jump flashback. Not for me. Not the actors fault, script wasn't interesting. Trying hard to be its own standalone movie.
Imawa no Kuni no Arisu (2020)
First few eps were good, then it went off the rails
Came off here after watching squid game. I enjoyed the first few eps, and then the show just went off the rails.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Better than i thought it would be
I like it, its a chinese fighting kung fu more in the MCU. They really dealve deep into the back story and gave the characters life.
Free Guy (2021)
Fun movie for video game lovers
Reminds of of jamangi 2. Video game type movie. If you like fortnite, watching twitch streamers, this movie is for you. I enjoyed it, watched it a second time with kids.
The Suicide Squad (2021)
tad boring
Jokes didn't land, movie felt like it went too long. There were good scenes with robbie and cena, but overall its a meh.
The Tomorrow War (2021)
through the whole movie, i could only thing of one thing...
Armor piercing bullets. My favorite youtubers have better ammo then they do. They smart enough to event time travel, but no piercing bullets...
Mortal Kombat (2021)
Wasn't bad... but i was expecting more
A lot of hype around this movie. To me it didn't feel good enough for theatrical, more of a hbo max movie at best. More of my score is due to the nostalgia factor. Plot was terrible. Actors were meh. Fighting could of been much better. And adding the cheesy one liners was funny at first, but got annoying and felt out of place the more they used it.
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
Way better than theatrical
After watching many side by side comparisons on youtube. I can tell that the theatrical cut was an abomination. Theatrical was too pg friendly, didn't give characters proper development. And took out scenes that would of expanded the snyderverse.
One particular thing that stood out the most in the movie for me was the flash. I love the t.v show flash. The flash in the theatrical was a loser. The flash in the synder cut use his time travel power twice. One of my favorite things about the flash, and theatrical took it out... that got me quite upset that they nerfed him.
