Cobra Kai (2018–2025)

characters so well done that I was 2 days upset after end of season 2

[10/10 · 28 December 2020]

I love it. 80s tunes, karate, many funny moments, deep character building. I was so invested in the characters that I was 2 days upset after the end of season 2. Can't wait what will happen in season 3.

Ragnarok (2020–2023)

what a nice surprise, way better than Marvel Thor crap

[10/10 · 28 December 2020]

It seems like a low budget production, but it is done very well. Not much special effects. Good soundtrack. Excellent casting and good acting. Refreshing to watch a superhero movie in scandinavian style. This thor is way better than the marvel one. I look forward to season 2.

Better Than Us (2018–2019)

unique setting/story, english dubbing was good

[10/10 · 28 December 2020]

I watched the show on netflix, english dubbed. It is an interesting story/setting, high quality production. Some boring moments, but overall pretty good pacing.

Reality Z (2020)

fun to watch, was a blast to watch, dont listen to the haters

[10/10 · 28 December 2020]

This series was fun to watch. I had no idea it was a remake of a show. I watched it english dubbed and it was still funny. I like reality and zombies, so best combination.

The Accountant (2016)

awesome action movie, anna kendrick should have gotten a bigger part

[10/10 · 1 September 2020]

Very good action, interesting story. Intriguing main character. I enjoyed watching anna kendrick, its a pity she only got a side part, she should have taken part in the action, I think she could be a cool action hero.

Teenage Bounty Hunters (2020)

not for conservative minded viewers, enjoyable action/teen drama

[10/10 · 1 September 2020]

This series has been a blast to watch. Only 2 of the last episodes were a mess, the last episode was very good. I look forward to season 2.

It is clear that the makers were progressive minded about certain subject matters.

Very good acting, the sisters were especially very good.

Next season I want more bounty hunts!!! The hunts were awesome.

Project Power (2020)

not the best, but entertaining action movie

[8/10 · 1 September 2020]

Not the best action movie. But the action was very enjoyable. Original idea.

Ready Player One (2018)

I was happy the movie was over, what a load of crap

[4/10 · 15 August 2020]

Steven Spielberg, shame on you, that movie was horrible. Fantastic premise, very good 30 min. But then it kept dragging on, I was looking forward to finding out more about the characters and the world but it was kept superficial. This movie could have been amazing, instead I was left with a bad feeling that I have wasted my time.

Blind Spot (2017)

Kick ass belgian action movie, Peter Van Den Begin best performance ever

[9/10 · 15 August 2020]

Very good belgian action movie/ thriller. Interesting ending. The best performance of Peter Van Den Begin I have seen.

High production value, good acting, interesting story. Middle of movie is a bit boring.

Overall great movie, definitely underrated.

Wild Tales (2014)

when people get angry and what could happen, very relatable

[10/10 · 25 July 2020]

A movie about people getting angry about things, and what happens when things get out of control. What happens when the darkness in people come out, hopefully I dont get to that point myself.

Good acting, nice cinematic value, many tense moments. Very funny.

Cant get the last story about the marriage out of my head, so intense.

Derailed (I) (2005)

ridiculous movie, watch it for nostalgia

[6/10 · 23 July 2020]

The movie started interesting, a bit slow. Until the rape scene, that was totally unnecessary, after that the movie became full of plot holes and the story became something ridiculous. The whole idea of the movie does not make sense. I watched it for the nostalgia of the beginning of 2000s, I kept me interested to finish watching the movie. Jennifer Aniston has more of a side part in the movie, but her acting was very good.

Moonwalkers (2015)

not funny, ridiculous story

[5/10 · 23 July 2020]

I did not find the movie funny at all. The premise was also ridiculous. I stopped watching halfway. Rupert Grint made me feel like watching Harry Potter, he cant shake the harry potter character.

American Assassin (2017)

solid action movie, a lot of cool gore

[10/10 · 22 July 2020]

This is a solid action movie, revenge style. Action is very good, many tense moments. Acting is good. Main character is well developed.

Also a lot of cool gore, dont watch if you dont like to see blood flying all over.

Zoo (2015–2017)

awesome animal attacks, messy story

[5/10 · 16 July 2020]

The animal attacks were awesome, even though not a lot made sense. But the series was poorly executed, it was like animal attacks stuffed with a messy story. Did not keep me engaged, story did not make any sense (and I like absurd sci fi). I managed to get to episode 4 before I quit.

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016)

very funny, the pancake scene was my favorite

[10/10 · 16 July 2020]

It took some time to realize it was not a real documentary. It was very funny, the songs were well written. Very high production value.

Red Sky (I) (2014)

entertaining enough to enjoy, underrated

[7/10 · 15 July 2020]

This movie is better then the rating it has. I found the movie entertaining, action sequences were very good. There were many boring moments, too much unnecessary drama. Overall I liked the movie and finished it, I found the ending satisfying.

The Equalizer 2 (2018)

great action sequences, main story is very good

[8/10 · 15 July 2020]

The main character is like a superhero. It is better then equaliser 1. The main story is very good, but the side stories are not very good and distract from the main story. Action sequences were very entertaining.

The Hurricane Heist (2018)

underrated, not very sophisticated, but overall very entertaining

[8/10 · 15 July 2020]

This movie is not that bad. It is an ok action movie, not much depth in the story.

One thing: tornados dont suck stuff, they blow away stuff.

The Shape of Water (2017)

very boring, excellent production value though

[5/10 · 13 July 2020]

I started watching it with an open mind. I noticed: good acting, amazing soundtrack, nice environments, overall excellent production value. Even the story is fascinating.

But still I was getting very bored, dont know why because it has very good production value, its like the story has no drive, anyway I stopped watching halfway.

The 100 (2014–2020)

I think I am too old to watch teenage drama

[5/10 · 12 July 2020]

I started watching, I stopped at episode 4. The story and concept is interesting. But most of the time it is a teenage drama, and since it is about 100 teenagers landing on earth, there is a LOT of teen drama. They could reduce an episode to 15 min if they cut the unnecessary teen drama. The lead character is very weak, bad actor choice.

Anyway, dont watch it if you are over 30

Warrior Nun (2020–2022)

Great series, many great moments but also many boring moments

[8/10 · 12 July 2020]

Very original concept. The action was good, the story kept me interested. The ending was very bad, but it looks like there will be a sequel. Shotgun mary is badass. What ever happened to the main characters boyfriend?

Negative points: -lead character: her jokes tend to be annoying, when she is serious she is very good though -pacing was not very good, there were many boring moments

The Old Guard (2020)

Favorite action movie of 2020 so far

[10/10 · 12 July 2020]

This movie was epic. Great acting, nice special effects, good pacing. Original story, good script. Looking forward to the sequel.

But so many dead special ops agents, I lost count...

Stealth (2005)

Still a great and relevant action movie in 2020

[8/10 · 12 July 2020]

I have recently seen this movie a second time. It still is a good action movie in 2020. Even the technology is not dated. Special affects are good too. One thing in the story, what ever happened to the asian girl the pilot was dating?

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)

makes me appreciate eurosong again, Iceland is awesome

[10/10 · 4 July 2020]

This movie was a surprise, I normally dont watch such movies, this one kept me hooked. Great acting by the 2 lead characters. Nice integration of english and icelandic. I liked the songs. Elves are awesome.

Thanks for making this movie, it made my day.

One negative: near the end, the movie was 20min too long, too much unnecessary drama.

Black Water (2018)

watch van damme fighting like an old man

[6/10 · 4 July 2020]

I am a big van damme fan, I enjoy most of his b-movies. This one was not very good. Bad fighting, it was like van damme was fighting like an old man. Not much lundgren in the movie either, just a small side role. A forgettable C-movie, I just enjoy seeing JCVD in action because I am a fan.

By the way, 2 years before the movie van damme did "Jean-Claude Van Johnson" series, that was JCVD in his best performance ever, watch that instead!
