Six Nations: Full Contact (2024)
So disappointing, worse... boring!
I was desperate for this to be good! Desperate for it to encourage more people to see rugby for the entertainment that it is. But unfortunately it hasn't delivered.
Each episode features a player or 2 talking about their own journey, but no insight into the sport itself. Can't really see any positives about the series at all. I believe some teams weren't forthcoming with content for Netflix, but I don't think a second series is coming and to be honest I don't think I'd watch it.
If it does go again we want to see the teams behind the scenes. Not get to know a player or two. That's what Instagram is for!
Invasion (2021)
Good start and then disappointment
A great start, great concept. Had me hooked, but then it goes a bit random in series 2! Never really understand the plot and I tried watching it back. Kid character plots are poor and bad acting. The tunnel scene and plot to go to Paris is one of the worst parts of the whole series. Aliens evolving... why?
Second series lacks action, it lacks a continuous plot and a link to the first series. It is just a shame as the first few episodes had great potential. Too many sub-plots introduced in series 2. If there is a series 3 I just really hope they get back to some action and get rid of the talking. Oh, and the mother of Luke is the worst actress!
Shocking casting! Box ticking galore and why the heck are the team working to save the world only about 18/19 years old? Never really watched a film where I wanted the Aliens to win so badly! Then it'd all just end!
Sam & Cat (2013)
Would be watchable if it wasn't for the annoying voice!
Why is Ariana Grande's voice so annoying? I can't watch it! My kids like it but as an adult it's painful. I would have given this 1 star but I have to concede the fact kids like it.
Oh, and the other characters who come in are annoying also. I actually don't get what Cat is trying to be. Some episodes seem to be worse than others when it comes to the drone of the voice. I'm putting it down to horrendous acting and the fact that she might be a star so they didn't dare tell her she was rubbish.
Really glad it was cancelled so the kids won't watch it when it finishes. My advice is avoid at all cost. It gets to you eventually!
You People (2023)
Terrible film
Started bad, got below average and then got terrible. Very disjointed scenes that had too much awkward acting and didn't go anywhere! Love Jonah Hill, hated this film!
I kept watching to see if Eddie Murphy would make me laugh. He didn't! Vegas but is funny and so is the hat on fire but lots of questions about how the film was edited and why parts are included.
Why the podcast? Didn't go anywhere with it! I get
The point he grew up with hip hop but they never made reference to it until the end. Film never raised any issues that haven't been addressed in exactly the same way before!
Too many bad points to comment any more on.
Arctic Justice (2019)
Too long, bad script, bad film
To be honest I've never watched a film with my little boy where he asks if I can put the football back on. I watched the film after reading bad reviews thinking 'can't be that bad!' Well it is. Animation is fine, it's just the script and concept is rubbish and it's far too long. My advice, give it a miss!
Riviera (2017)
Would be higher but for acting!
Like the plot. Some great characters but Lead actress is terrible and by the last few episodes the woodenness grated on me. She's ruined what should be a good series!
Ocean's Eight (2018)
3 less men but 8 pure stars!
Genius. My favourite film I've seen in 5 years well written and a great cast. Loved it
Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
It just goes on and on
I have no idea what has just happened. Lots of fighting, no obvious plot, Dinobots... only reason this didn't get 1 star was that my little boy was quiet for 4 hours while it went on and I don't feel well. Worst of the Transformer films.
Dive Olly Dive and the Octopus Rescue (2016)
No idea what happened
I have no idea what has just happened. What an amazing film. Got to love the fact that it goes from random plot to a dancing octopus to a jelly baby palace filled with superstar clown fish. I'm going to cut the review short so I can watch it again.
The Cat in the Hat (2003)
Not too bad
Much better than reviews say. It's just daft. I like daft! Hence why I like it. Some people liked Titanic and that's not only sad but incredibly predictable!
My little boy loved this film... and hated titanic!
Final Score (2018)
Awesome
Gripping from start to finish! Great acting, can't believe the actors weren't actually Russian as their accents are spot on. Even the football acting is great. Only reason it didn't get 10 is due to only being 90 mins long. I didn't want it to end!
Geostorm (2017)
Gripping!!!
Bloody brilliant! Amazing script. I honestly nearly cried when he doesn't die at the end! My wife did cry. See the Goestorm cast at the Oscars!!
Designated Survivor (2016)
Interesting to irritating
Starts brilliant. Worth watching the first series and then stop. Basically a president solves world issues by making a speech and showing how being a 'good guy' can change the world. Shame they couldn't keep up the pace of the first 10 episodes.
Chop Kick Panda (2011)
Perfection
Beautifully animated and exceptional storyline. I watched it with my wife for our date night and we have both now found a love for Pandas and Kung Fu. We are moving to China to open a dojo and take part in conservation for these beautiful creatures. This movie was inspiring!
The Emoji Movie (2017)
Poor film
My 4 year old boy liked the film as there are bright animations and he doesn't understand storylines yet. I usually love kids films but this is poor. Tried to be too clever but didn't deliver on comedy or plot. I don't understand how anyone would give this film 10. Must be paid!
