Invincible (2021)
Season 2 WTF !!!
I think season one of invincible is generally acclaimed as a work of genius, a plot that grabs you and does not let go till the final frame, excellent voice acting , and good animation. Some crappy episodes that concentrate on needless peripheral relationships, and other garbage do not detract from the experience overly.
I was incredibly excited about season 2, but the first 3 episodes have been a huge let down, the relationship crap has gone into overdrive, ep 3 especially was a bad soap opera, absolutely nothing happened till the final frame, ( except a really weird side story presented in an even weirder manner ) I ended up fast forwarding a few sections ( which would NEVER happen with series one )
I am still in hope that things pick up and we can all just ignore S2Ep3.
Good Omens (2019)
From Heaven to Hell
Season 1, some of the best tv the bbc has EVER made, should be in the same box as faulty towers. A true timeless classic.
Season 2. WTF !!!!!, I know the beeb is diversity central, but come on man !! Appart from the 2 main guys , everyone now is gay, female, black, or all 3 . The plot is a party political broadcast on behalf of the LBGTQ+ party, I stopped watching second episode when Jobe's wife turned up and true to form she was cast as a african/jamacan . Now I am no fan of the bible , but was'nt jobe from Palestine? His wife I assume also trom that area ? And do not Christians get a tad miffed when you mess with their book ? I am assuming next jesus film is to be played by. Samuel L Jackson with Judas as Jacki Chan , and the rest of them as diverse gay muppets.
11 for season 1 ( must watch )
1 for season 2 ( save yourself and do not watch )
Gives 5 overall.
The Witcher (2019)
How to kill a show
This review is just for the last ( that I am ever going to watch ) series of witcher, RIP.
Series 3 is very much up and down, episode 1 starts well, we see Gerald do his suff, then it devolves into a love story . As my G/F pointed out no way would Gerald do any of that .
But the plot is carried forward in patches so was still drawn onward, some fights some intrigue, lots and lots of diversity , everyone turns gay for some reason ,and little girls killing improbably huge monsters ( cringe, but this blatent girl fantasy has been around since season 1, it is something have learned to put up with in order to enjoy the show ), as ever everyone is after Ciri in some form or another.
Then we get to episode 5 , where we see the Witcher dance in the wost cut clothes ever concieved. At this point it feels like the producer is actually punishing Henry for being to cool.
Episode 6 , the Action and plot really picks up, they seem to pack most of the series interest, plot and general life into that 1 episode.
Then finally comes ep 7, and 8.
What should have been an exiting conclusion to the series ends up being the WORST 2 episodes of any series EVER. I kid you not , I have seen every sci-fantasy series/film in existence, those 2 episodes rank among the worst, we are talking "Amazons From Outer Space" bad.
Please save your time, precious life, sanity and do NOT watch past ep 6 , just let the series go at that point, needless to say do not bother with Series 4 whenever I drops.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
Not even close to D+D
So this is what some idiot ex-disney producer thinks D+D is ? Not even close !!!
Disclaimer, I switched off ofter 20 min , so maybe it picked up, its just I was close to losing my lunch as so much "family" crap was launched against my eyeballs, just had to stop.
Target audience for this film is 3-12, ( or have had your brain surgically removed, or like disney in any capacity ) if you are outside this age range then STAY WELL AWAY, otherwise you risk brain damage.
60% of cast is under 16 and or some shade of black, with zero regard for IWD races ( half cast elf ? Really ??? ) its like Nubia invaded IWD without anyone noticing. Inclusive casting my ass, stick to kids tv and leave real entertainment to the grown ups.
Harry potter is 100 times better than this pile of garbage, and I hate harry potter :)
Film producers continue to insult D+D players, this is the second time this unique and iconic game has been thus insulted.
The punishment for effing it up a third time should be slow death in a vat of mindflayers.
The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf (2021)
Not entertainment as we know it Jim
Looked forward to this for best part of 6 months, god damn was I disappointed!
Animation is good for a Casilvania, DOTA type story, but starkly out of character for the witcher, I was expecting a far darker more mangaish take, the witcher deserves its own unique look, it got a generic one.
Story is trash and zero happens for the first half.
But the big thing that got me was that all the characters were absolutely unlikable, I ended up hating everyone and everything on screen, especially queen Bi""h witch.
Give it a miss and wait for series 2 of the real witcher. ( by the way series 2 was filmed before the American race riots, so has at least a chance of not being woke )
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Bad
Who the everloving hell gave this thing a 7.6 average ? Only got through it with help of pause button.
To those hate'ing on Gunn , please remember folkes director does not write the script, and a man has to eat.
Blood Red Sky (2021)
Gave me no reason to turn off
Not excellent but not crap. The biggest thing about the film is that everything was ok, not excellent but ok, Directing, story, camera, editing, music et all. The total lack of an Achilles heel gives it a 6 in my mind.
It got an extra star since I totally hate Vamp films ( the vamp concept has been done to death, bit like time travel in scifi flicks ), but found myself watching till the end.
Robot Apocalypse (2021)
Yea.... NO
So am a big watcher of the UFC, thus Tito's name drew me in, so far only Bisping and Cynthia have made a go of acting , maybe Tito ? Yea great thought but NO, he was bleedin awfull , but then so was everyone else. The acting killed this flick, everything else was woth at least a 5, but one just did not care, the acting was that painful. Could not bear it to the end.
It got a 2 cos of the cool robot at the beginning.
Masters of the Universe: Revelation (2021)
Even worse than the original
Ok lets not pretend the original Masters was anything more than a marketing tool for a set of dolls, by any possible measure it was TRASH designed for 10 year olds.
Yet here we are decade + after and someone decides its suitable material for some semi-serious animation ? Hollywood has lost it folks.
I got through the first episode , the rest could not stomach.
Do men exist in the US anymore? Seems all video is designed to appeal 16 year old entitled American females ,maybe the male demographic has disappeared.
Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness (2021)
Not as good as the films
Firstly ignore a lot of reviews here, the "china bad" ones especially. They are written by Americans who do not have the brain to know better. ( still the trump army had to go somewhere I suppose ).
Now down to the series. If one had never seen any of the CGI films, one would be thinking 6 stars odd, but in comparison to the films it is barely a 4.
Massive lack of action, zero continuity, and poor everything else.
The Tomorrow War (2021)
Not Bad
As a lot of people have already posted "not a bad popcorn flick"
As always though I will concentrate this review on plot holes.
First , it is a time travel flick, and as we all know time travel is a paradox by definition, films do their best to manage this basic time paradox but none have ever really come close. This is not unexpected since physicists are still struggling with the concept.
1) If news of a future war gets displaced 30 years backwards in time, that is goung to cange the face of humanity and the planet big time, lots of people who would have been born, might not be born, where do they go ? When do they cease to exist ? What if one of them was key in the development of time travel tech ? Personally I would expect the 30 years to be the most productive in human history, the entire human population would be an armed camp, imagine the entire global GDP spent on arms and research for 30 years. I think your talking a tank per person at that rate.
2) They are dumb monsters, not tech savy, so would never have been a problem. Nets, Razer wire, barbed wire, snare traps, land mines, ......... etc
3) A standard AR round bounces of their armor, but a 50 cal tears them to pieces. Solution HV or steel armor piercing rounds for your AR. Save some soldier's that way, and at 1mil bucks per body bag ( to next of kin ) you want to keep them alive. Even better take a tank with you.
4) Why the hell put your most valuable asset in middle of ocean? What happened to all the nuclear bunkers? Hollowed out mountains that can withstand 100mega tonnes without blinking, enough food water and air for years, USA/USSR is full of em
5) If all males attracted to female, fly captured female to a bunker somewhere, wait till 50km of them are packed 4 high, then nuke the enire area. Then do it again and again.
6) Female all chained, but no one covering her with a 50cal ? When it hits fan only way of killing her is by toxin ? Nope 50 cal will do just fine.
7) When he gets back to present day. What was the toxin about ? Basically toxin never got used ( appart from annoy a ship full of killier aliens, by melting a few ) good old c4 did the trick.
8) Toxin works great on males, one can clear entire nests but humans still losing ? Methinks a Trump relative was global ruler at the time.
9) Where the hell did the black guy at the end come from? Chris and father set off on bikes after the last female, black dude is KM's away but finds them on a glacier, in a storm, with no comms. Just in time to have a lie down.
