Seriously, it feels like they were all on acid over a weekend and given carte blanche to FUBAR this to the infinite.

Just after watching the incoherent, absurd, mess of Wanda VS Dr. Strange, Moon Knight's talks with his inner self -just like Venom- , Nickelodeon-like Ms. Marvel, I was thinking: "They got She-Hulk right".

Despite another ludicrous abomination, yes, The Abomination's phase as a life-coach, the whole story was..., plausible. Having a mutant lawyer handling super-hero affairs makes total sense (Beast was appointed Mutant Secretary in X-men).

But this episode..., OMFG! If they were trying to kiss some producer's... hands, whoa, great job! No, this is not Star-wars, Kevin Feige's depiction as an all-seeing, almighty droid was flat, unoriginal, and dull -just so you get an idea, the Architect from Matrix is charming, charismatic and funny next to K. E. V. I. N.-

She-Hulk and performing actresses held up perfectly throughout the season. While I was sad to see Hulk leave, it was not his show -plus nobody likes Smart Hulk, face it.

So, why bringing him back? And giving him a son? (Not an expert on comic canon, so I can't tell if Disney/Marvel just made an executive decision, at this point I really don't care)

Yes, we all loved Daredevil the Netflix way -it was a bit dark- so it was nice seeing him, but seeing him chitchatting with Jennifer's family is sicker and more disturbing than the Kingpin in love -at least his chick also wanted to see the city burn.

And yet, it makes sense because both of them are lawyers, but... Daredevil in the middle of the day..., I was waiting for him to take a selfie with children or sign autographs. (The things people do for money, can't blame you Charlie, and Tim )

I was disappointed in so many ways, I'm thinking of writing an episode myself because believe me, those "writers" are overpaid. I hope someone gets fired for this.

I started watching this film excited about the casting of two my favorite actresses. Now, I have learned to appreciate Colin's acting after watching him in many movies, and again, my hopes were... a bit high.

Now, I agree with the fact that Arnold's movie was good and it is now a classic of the action films era.

So, what are the drawbacks on this new version?

1.-Flying cars, Chinese people in boats, rain..., a few not very well timed nor applied strange angles... anyone thought of Blade Runner? Because I did, and whether this was on purpose, or a mere coincidence, I did not like it at all. At least in Scott's movie, Vangelis, and the plot, created a wonderful atmosphere.

2.-The story. Of course, they had to make some changes, our we would've known the end from the beginning -wait! we knew the end from the beginning! - there are some loose ends, and things that make no sense. We know the hooker with 3 breasts was in the original movie, and her line is a reminiscence of the comment Benny does, but I don't think it was clear why that girl had 3 breasts -where as in the original it was due to defective domes in Mars.

I won't even talk about the way they stop the invasion, and the "fight" between Bryan Cranston and Colin Farrell -well, if Christopher Lee fought Yoda..., I'll buy it-.

3.-The score. Lame and irrelevant. Not that the original had a remarkable one, but I mean, remakes should be an improvement, right?

4.-Is it just me, or fight scenes are not what they used to be? I mean, the ones in Underworld, were good, until Selene had to fight this over-sized Werewolf in Awakening, and we realized mixed martial arts, Krav Maga and Brazilian Jiujiutsu were the trend on every action movie. I almost laughed when Bryan Cranston grabbed Farrell's arm and tried to break it taking him into submission!!! Not good, honestly.

Overall, this is a movie you can skip until it's shown on open TV and you're so bored you don't feel like switching channel on the remote. I mean, Kate Beckinsale in underwear is worth watching it, but seriously, you can be more entertained by Click and I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry, both featuring my beautiful favorite actresses, than with this "new" Total Recall.

Dogs as guardians of mankind are back, and I was looking forward to seeing this movie long time before they announced it. Too bad they tried to use some clichés and jokes from other spy movies giving them this "pet way of talking", as in other animated movies, they add a funny character -remember Leo Getz in Lethal Weapon?- which wasn't totally necessary, but makes the movie bearable.

I don't know if it's some bad acting by some of the actors, and a story that was too predictable -I know it's a children movie, but surprise is always good, and if we look back into the first movie, nobody would've expected Mr. Tinkles to take over his owner's company, and then leaving his sidekick behind, talk about twist of a bolt-. For a second there, I also think there was too much CGI, I know it's inevitable in films nowadays, but when it's so easy to distinguish shots, geeze, it's like watching a cartoon movie.

Now, Diggs, always blowing up the operation, is an exhausting resource here, it reminds me of Eddie Murphy in I spy... it's simply too stupid to be funny... I really think the team of writers followed the formula without even trying to bring something new to the film.

Watch it if you're extremely bored and the only thing on TV is American Idol.

I was wondering what character would John Goodman play in this type of movie -I mean, he was a cop co-starring with Denzel Washington once...-, secretly hoping that he would be some sort of thug..., then, he makes the first appearance as the one and only bad...s who will straight up that Billy character. After the family gets killed, I wasn't really expecting to see John Goodman's character again, so when Nick Hume ends up buying guns from him, I ended up speechless after he (Bones) acknowledges that Billy had it coming, and lets Nick go "his way". This without mentioning the way he introduced the .357 Magnum and the .45 was simply "splendid". By the way, does anyone know which gun is the last one?? The "sword of justice"? I will appreciate big time the tip.

This sequence makes the whole movie worth watching. Kudos to Mr. Goodman!
