Terminator Genisys (2015)
Not a smart movie but it's entertaining enough to kill some time.
Wow, the Kyle Reese in this one sure does suck! Were they trying to cut costs?
Anyway, despite some poor acting and questionable events this movie is still watchable. Some movies I can sit down and watch straight through, others are watch, pause, watch, pause watch.. this one is the latter but I got through it.
It's not a very smart movie, there is a lot of "dumb" stuff going on.. for example.. the scene where the T1000 is chasing the armored truck and Reese uses the grenade launcher to blow up the car.. why didn't he just do that first? Instead of them waste like a couple hundred rounds of ammunition? Seems like there is a ton of redundant "filler" action sequences and far less "smart" modern day storytelling/directing...
How the hell did Sara Connor know to come smashing in the store? Things like that bug me.
Poor acting. Miraculous coincidences "Dumb" out-dated action
It is, what it is! From me it's a 6.. get through it once and that will probably be it.
True Detective: The Western Book of the Dead (2015)
Same atmosphere, new story.
I'm not going to be one of those people that rate it based on Season 1. This is a new season so expect it to not be the same as before!
Excellent soundtrack again, dark, atmospheric. Colin Ferrel is off to a good start, his performance so far looks well invested. Vaugn seems to be out of his league here but hopefully throughout the remainder of the season he proves me wrong.
Bit of a slow start for the devil is in the details and this ride is just getting started! Hang on! The writer likes to leave clues and sometimes they are intangible. With only 1 episode watched it's hard to know where the story is headed so far but I'm looking forward to the tension being turned up.
Overall, I enjoyed the episode and I'm looking for to next week already!
Daredevil (2015)
Worth watching but don't expect too much from it...
Pros:
Violent at times. Not for kids really Not too cheesy Charlie Cox isn't so bad as daredevil
Cons:
Slow, scattered story Low on suspense Repetitive action (fights scenes are all the same) Some poor acting here and there (Fisk, Foggy) Kinda cheesy
The show is meh.. boring at times.. kinda replays the same scenes over and over. Hopefully the writing in season 2 gets better. Overall it is worth watching.. its not great.. its not bad.. but falls a little short on being really good.
