Reviews

Writing this whilst still under the effects of what it did to me, I am still crying. I wept like a baby through most of it and when Hanus died I felt it, I actually cared, his character was so well done that I actually cared for him. He was so similar to a story character I write and the story as a whole had some similarities, so I fell in love with it instantly because of that. I loved this honestly, I wish there was more movies of this sort around, unique films that I can really join with, to feel and to actually care about the characters and what happens to them. So far and few between these days, hardly anything allows me to feel genuinely towards others nowadays, the music also really helping with the scenes, never overdone, never over the top, beautiful in every way. This movie was a masterpiece to me and I'm glad I gave it a chance over the other movie I was to watch instead of it.

I was reading the reviews on Steam I got the PS5 version by the way, but I love to read reviews and there's so many on there, so good reading. I used the tank controls because I'm just used to them, personally I've been playing 2, 3 and 4 on my PS3 for years, so I know the game by now, nothing I saw or experienced was new to do with how bad the controls are. I was dying a lot exactly the same as on my PS3, had issues running into things, the guns not firing, falling into stuff, Lara not slowing down or stopping in time, pressing two buttons together and nothing happening. I mean it was all in the original games too. So honestly when it comes to that I expected it wholly and got exactly as I expected.

Graphics wise there was some mishaps here and there, nothing too major though. Some backgrounds looked worse than the original ones I'll admit that too. I've spent 2 whole days on it and used the chests so I've seen everything including the DLC's. I like that the cheats still work, hate that the all items in 3 doesn't work but oh well. Floating Islands I'll always prefer the original look. Most stayed very true to their original looks, beasts and stuff have slightly higher textures but look much the same.

Someone said the water looks exactly the same it never differs in colour, that's true, the area around it gets coloured though. Reunion! From TR3 DLC I found the sky lacked substance compared to the original. Highlight of the game is you can press pause to switch between new and old graphics, some areas and lighting looks better in the old vs new.

Traps everywhere, not a review per say just adding that I've died to traps so many times I should call myself the trap legend lol.

I did every level but I didn't finish most of them, when I got bored or annoyed with finding the way to go forward, I skipped to the next level. Used the weapon cheats everywhere. I just don't like bad guns which amp up the difficulty, never was interested in stuff like that, the challenge of it all. Okay maybe as a kid I may have been, personally bad brain fog so who knows. My life as a child is bits and pieces nowadays. However I've always been a cheataholic on games, if there was cheats I was there!

They kept the old audio so starting from TR2 and I'm unsure on 3 as my mind is just gutter trash today, but that meant the water sound is still there and I'm not being crude or anything. But it sounds like the water is talking and saying "warm, titties, black." I noticed this quite sometime ago, few years to be exact and now I can't unhear it, I will never unhear it ever again. So yeah playing anywhere with water was fun!

I think it's just added polish to the original game, hence the ability to switch graphics. So anything that had glitches or issues still has those glitches or issues. T Rex glitch walk for example.

You can't destroy the Floating Islands warriors ahead of time anymore. Must've shot them like 30 times, nothing.

Loved how rainy levels felt with the more realistic rain.

Using the joystick to swim as the d-pad was a nightmare.

Tried the modern controls, trash, changed back immediately.

The static backgrounds didn't bother me, but as mentioned earlier some felt like a step down vs the originals.

There's this wall push thing that happens that I don't remember being a thing before, so I tried to jump up one of the walls like speed runners do and because of this I couldn't do it. Typically that jump is notoriously hard to do, so maybe I was just unlucky, but I really don't remember that being a thing, where it pushes you away from the wall. Had it happen in a previous to that level as well.

Some stuff that's needed for direction is notoriously difficult to see and had to switch graphics to move forward, 40 Fathoms being one of them, the barrels are yellow in the old one, new one they are as dark as the area around you and I'll admit I couldn't find them.

Prefer the old Atlantis wall textures just saying, the scar tissue stuff is better in the new one, but the red muscle strands were better in the original.

The jade in Floating Islands actually adds a green light to your body now vs not before, cool little effect.

Falling from the Islands still gets you a dead on landing sound, even though you wouldn't land on anything.

The explosive effects of the rocket and grenade launchers feel completely out of place, it's supposed to be highly explosive and yet the effect falls very short on realism. Also the new flamethrower fire effect ... nope.

Some areas are super duper dark, had to use a ton of flares or change graphics.

Mud and sand traps don't move anymore, which is a shame. You'll likely run right into it, because it looks solid.

In umm Reunion! The yellow translucent blocks cannot be seen on the new graphics at all, with or without a flare. Change graphics and they mysteriously appear.

Okay I'll end it here for now as I'm fresh out, if I remember anything else I'll just edit.

I went onto Netflix on my PS4 after watching From Dusk Till Dawn again and saw this and yeah figured eh why not?

By the way that wolf on the cover is a costume for some thugs there's no actual wolf transformation in this, kinda bummed gotta admit.

Anyways it's fun at times, can't say I really liked Nicolas Cage acting as Dracula in this, I feel his acting as a vampire or theoretical vampire as I heard in Vampire's Kiss was better, I dunno I preferred his vampire likeness in that movie better, my opinion.

I did unfortunately spend some of it on my IPad but I watched all the action scenes. The one scene I did like a lot honestly was Dracula slaughtering the support group, I mean it just looked so cool and really shows his power, which doesn't feel all that powerful in the overall though. I mean he's got this amazing power but we don't really get to see it.

The uhh main person here as I forgot the word I was going to use is the Renfield guy, which yeah I mean movies title and all but than because of that Dracula is all powerful but ultimately feels very weak.

I'll admit I tried to stay off my IPad for this one but yeah ... I'm in it for the features not the human cast so until the shark scenes I was mostly on my IPad. I found the shark looked really cool in most shots and that the family drama stuff, disbelieving stuff was a bit annoying, but hey, gotta have a bit of everything I suppose. I liked that despite killing the shark in the end, it is shown that it merely sated the 'sacrifice' part and the shark yet lives and will be back.

Diving scenes and music reminded me of Soma, a game I desperately need to play again as it's been far too long honestly.

Since I own it I suppose I'll be watching it again someday. Do I mind? Nope, it was satisfactory enough that I'd watch it again someday.

I was going through my emails, I usually only open two, but decided to see what was going on in the others and I saw M3GAN coming to Netflix on the 12th so today, opened Netflix and sure enough there it was, I had read the reviews earlier in the year and it seemed for the most part that people didn't really enjoy it and yeah the death scenes are very tame.

But honestly around half way and a bit extra I did love it, like I was enjoying watching it and I hardly enjoy anything that's not Zamasu related nowadays, so that speaks volumes honestly. I'm giving it a 9 as I thought the ending was a bit boring, I liked what M3GAN said, it made her seem like a proper uninhibited machine, much like a lot of games, where the machines are only doing what their told/taught or know and they can't tell the difference between good or evil.

The ending aside from the words was boring to me because it was hardly a fight, not much really happened and it ended quickly, also based on her body being made from titanium, she didn't seem all that strong in the end, quickly going down after she was split in two. I dunno I would've had the ending go on for longer, maybe a longer chase scene, maybe a longer fight with Bruce, either way I was bored.

However the rest of it was fun, I had fun 90% of the time and the rest is let's call it history.

After I had been sick I noted that I didn't really have much to do aside from watching YT and playing games, but when your sick you don't really want to play games as the movements tend to make you feel even worse. So I was browsing what was on offer on Foxtel and at first I found Death in Paradise, but than a few weeks later I searched again and found this.

Now I had to unfortunately stop recording it as I couldn't keep up, 10+ episodes a day and I have other commitments. But I'm on like season 6 anyways, so I kept up pretty well regardless.

I thought that when Bea died I'd have no interest in it, but I continued and I continue to enjoy it regardless. Ferguson was a real piece of work I tell you, wow what a depraved psycho.

Anyways it really does pull you in and you really can't stop watching it.

Now there's obviously some scenes and episodes that were not great as with any show. I was bored and uninterested in a few, but I powered through them so I could understand everything that was going on regardless.

Whilst it does pull and hold, there's no denying that it is the same thing over and over just done differently to paint it in a different light and hope it holds your attention.

Each episode consists of some drama, some fighting, yelling, screaming, the guards and personnel in general going about their beeswax and relationships and blah blah, but it's done so well and differently each episode that it continues to hold you despite it being the same ordeal over and over.

There's been some personal growth for me when watching this, I don't really know what kind, but I feel different having watched this now and I feel well a little more confident in my day to day life. So bonus really.

I'm happy I found this and I hope I find something equally as impressive down the road. I have resumed recording and hope to reach the end someday. Whilst I don't think it'll record 10 episodes a day anymore as I missed out on that, I also ran out of room not just that I couldn't keep up. Even if it's a weekly ordeal from here on out, I'm good with it.

Wholly recommend amazing little series.

I'm sick with the flu so I needed something to watch, took forever to find anything honestly, but finding this was gold. It kept me interested the whole way through, you simply by no means expect that it's the 2 guys who are the issue here and later you learn that it's mostly just the 1 and that the other has a change of heart. The girl survives but the guy wants to go see her at the hospital to finish the job, we never see this, but I suppose I hope that she survives that encounter too. This kid is all sorts of messed up and he's just so casual and uncaring about it and that just creates this feeling that has you eager to see where else this'll go.

He kills his friend eventually, having what seems like a breakdown at first before going back into complete uncaring mode. I love the switches and the acting of this guy haha. He really sells it for me. So glad this was the movie I clicked on to watch.

I decided to watch it just now on Netflix, I was on my IPad for most of it as honestly it was quiet boring, a few scenes I did watch though and enjoyed. The dragon didn't look too bad, his voice was great but than I saw the person who made it and was like yep no wonder. Drago's scenes were all pretty cool and I think one or two had me giggling. It's hard honestly for me to find enjoyment in movies nowadays, yeah it's a 2017 movie but I mean in general. As a kid I probably would've loved this beyond reason. As I am now unfortunately no not really aside from a few scenes as mentioned.

Drago's death just now had tears running down my face as expected, I still do cry on fantasy creature death scenes yay me haha. I'll give it a 5 that way it's a half as half good, half bad type of deal.

Drago got his wish and joined the others in the stars when he died. I mean I can only assume it was his wish based on something he had said earlier in the movie.

I guess I'll go look for something else to watch now and if I find anything review it after I suppose.

Now this was something that I could totally agree with, it was cute and sometimes funny and I just had a lot of fun watching it. I'm kinda like Gudetama honestly, I saw myself many times haha. I actually did a voice memo story recently and my character was hungry and I noted that I sounded like Gudetama on multiple occasions, I believe I had even mentioned it in the recording. There was obviously some silly stuff here and there, but for the most part I loved it. I also thought it was super cute and funny that they gave him a bottom haha and that he tended to wiggle it about at times. The ending with all those newly hatched Gude's was hilarious cause their all so lazy and carefree, just as the main story one was. Will definitely watch this again sometime.
