at least it's better than Thor L & T
18 February 2023
I am not quite sure what tone they were going for was but the end result is cesspool of tones. One minute it's a cool sci-fi adventure, then a drama, then sometimes a bad comedy. Jonathan majors (kang) is the saving grace, he is a real presence on screen and demands your attention, he seems to be the only actor who took the role serious but even his acting couldn't save the writing. We are told by everyone how bad kang is through a ton of exposition but we never see him do anything that warrants his reputation. Kang was overthrown and defeated with ease, he did not seem like the guy the writers wanted him to be. I could not see him going head to head with the avengers or even killing them (clearly can't even beat ant man). I hope future renditions of kang live up to the hype because the guy who is a supposed super intelligent villainous warlord was beaten by the joke of the avengers and the wasp, they literally just punched him into his energy core...also the cassie actress was pretty bad, her acting was by far the worst in the MCU. It's enjoyable but it's not good.

HERE WE GO
12 November 2022
Undoubtedly one of the best superhero movies ever made and it's because of the joker. Bale does his part well as jokers counter but man, ledger steals every single scene he's in. I've watched this maybe 7-8 times, i try to watch it once a year and ledger's performance brings literal tears to my eyes. He will never be topped, i hope he is one day but i doubt it. This movie does not even feel like a superhero movie, it just feels like a great movie that happens to have joker and batman in it. I am not the biggest fan of bale's batman in this, i think he was much better in batman begins but he plays his part well.

it's okay
9 July 2022
When you compare it to ragnorak or jojo rabbit then this is literal garbage but if you take it for what it is then it's enjoyable. Felt completely like a kids movie, i can't believe they wasted bale on this script. Some of the dialogue was funny from thor and korg but they made jane so corny and cringe. Tessa thompson was phenomenal, she was by far the best part of the film. It jus felt too rushed and like kids were the target audience. Such a drastic drop off from ragnorak, hard to believe the same guy made both movies. Lastly, terrible CGI suit on hercules during the mid credits.

The Boys: The Instant White-Hot Wild (2022)
Season 3, Episode 8
9/10
expected more but still liked it
8 July 2022
Season 3 was phenomenal, so i knew the finale wasn't gonna be able to tie up things nicely. It felt weirdly constructed and rushed. Too many characters deviating from their true selves; we got 3 seasons of butch claimin to do "whatever needs to be done" and it in a blink of an eye, all that character development was gone. They built up SB vs HL for seven episodes but instead gave us maeve beating up HL which also was weird since they insinuated she was no match for him all 3 seasons. Still a great season and SB was fantastic, great addition who instantly elevated the show. SB was the only character who stuck to the plan, some of his writing was inconsistent through the season but jensen ackles killed the performance.

each episode gets better
1 July 2022
I loved herrogasm ! But this is superior in writing. I found myself waiting until midnight to watch it; the big reveal was nicely done considering it's a little cliche. Jensen ackles is really killing this role, i hope he gets a lot more roles after this. I also hope black noir isn't the one to kill him. I wish there were more than 8 episodes but for now i'll be waiting until next friday midnight to watch.

embarrassing
26 June 2022
What a huge letdown. The entire season with the exception of a couple episodes is truly terrible. The writing and directing were subpar. This was so overhyped and highly anticipated so the letdown is even more drastic. Please don't do a season 2.

Soldier boy
26 June 2022
Easily the best episode of the series. The visuals during the last 15 minutes or so are absolutely breathtaking. The fight was incredible, only wish they showed more of soldier boy and homelander fighting instead of starlight getting MM but that's my only complaint. Dean aka soldier boy steals every scene he's in, i really hope they don't kill him off. Lastly, i agree A train is a c#%$ but that scene with blue hawk was one of the most brutal coolest scenes i've ever seen ! My jaw was on the floor. Please let there another big fight.

Ambulance (2022)
7/10
solid but terrible ending
8 April 2022
It's a typical michael bay action movie only this time he has great acting from jake gyllenhaal and yahya manteen. Those two should have partnered for a different movie with a better script cause they were amazing. The female lead was extremely bad and she tries to ruin the movie with her cheesy one liners and she jus has absolutely corniest delivery of her lines. Aside from that it's Fast paced and good. The ending didn't make much sense, the characters went against how they were portrayed throughout the movie. I don't think they knew how to end it but overall solid.

Moon Knight (2022)
8/10
not terrible by any means but not a 10
1 April 2022
I was expecting more of a serious tone since kevin feige claimed this was going to be the most serious show yet. I was thrown off by how goofy it was which didn't ruin it for me but i feel as if a serious approach woulda worked better. I'm thinking since steven was in control then that's why it was goofy, once marc takes over for good then hopefully it gets better. I like the identity disorder plot but they didn't show any of it, the blacking out and having zero action felt cheap to me. The CGI was also pretty bad but i'm hoping most of the budget went to CGI for the moonknight sequences. It wasn't a strong start but there is potential. Hopefully no more steven cause that got old quick.

Batman (1989)
6/10
did not age well
20 March 2022
I was not alive for this movie so watching it for the first time in modern times doesn't help. I thought it was very campy and boring. Michael keaton is nothing like i imagine batman. Gotham itself was a copy and paste of new york with no originality. The bat suit is also horrendous. The joker is okay but jus feels like jack nicholson playing himself, laugh was mediocre, used the jack napier alias but turned him into a monster who jus apparently has a lucky deck of cards so therefore he calls himself the joker. Also the smile made no sense, doctor literally tells him all his nerves are dead in his face so therefore he would be expressionless. You could see wires on the batman stunt double in some scenes..i do understand the importance of this film so i thank burton for that.

Fresh (2022)
6/10
strong premise but poor execution
20 March 2022
The plot was very cool and i thought i was gonna be in for a great movie but it took a huge turn after the first 30 min. Supposedly this dude has been doing this for a while for his rich clients but is incredibly dumb and messy. You'd think the surgeon would make sure to cover all his tracks but nope, he is portrayed as a total idiot who is sloppy about his work. The other male character was also portrayed as a coward while the women were fearless. It was overall kinda dumb. The best friend was smarter than the surgeon who kidnaps girls and sells their bodies on the black market... go figure.

X (II) (2022)
7/10
weird but enjoyable
20 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Went into this without watching a trailer or knowing anything about and it was pretty cool. The story itself is a little weird to me, old woman is upset over not having sex ? Or i guess jus jealous of younger people so they decide to kill them. They sorta implied they're jesus freaks but had no payoff. Cinematography was unexpectedly very beautiful, the acting was good except for kid cudi who was forcing it but gets a break since he's not an actor. Wish jenny ortega was in it more but overall enjoyable.

the family business
20 March 2022
Possibly the greatest cable tv show ever created. Seasons 1-5 are absolutely phenomenal and you'll fall in love with the characters. Eric kripke's departure was painfully obvious but still very much enjoyable. You'll never see a brotherly love like sam and deans. I can't wait till they make this a movie in the next 10 years or so, although nothing can recapture the chemistry between sammy and dean.

it's raining vengeance
20 March 2022
What a movie ! I had to watch it twice, after my first viewing i didn't know how i felt so i waited a week and watched it again and came to the conclusion, it's the best batman movie ever made ! Might be the best cbm ever made. Every actor killed it especially penguin and bats, the score was absolutely amazing. That car chase !! Directing and cinematography were gorgeous. The score and cinematography are what gives this the edge over the dark knight imo.

The Book of Boba Fett (2021–2022)
7/10
shoulda stayed in the sarlacc pit
11 February 2022
Boba could never carry his own show and this was proof. The best parts of the season were when he wasn't in the show at all. He's a cool side character but there jus isn't enough about him to make him interesting. He is after all just a clone. I truly believe the writers of this show just didn't know what to do with him so they used this as a stepping stone for mando season 3. I would have given it a lower rating if it wasn't for din and grogu saving the season.

ironic

It's almost laughable how much better this episode is compared to the other boba episodes. This episode only showed us how superior the mandalorian show is to book of boba fett.

Labrinth in his bag
13 January 2022
The show itself is extremely enjoyable, a little over the top but it is a tv show after all. It's supposed to be dramatic and out there. Visually it's also gorgeous and the directors deserve a lot of praise. I would give the show a 7.5 but sheesh the music by labrinth transcends this show to a 9. I know music is subjective but jesus christ it just makes the show so much better for me and they pick the best times to put it. Nate's theme (nate growing up) is top 3 best character soundtracks ever made.

CW at it again
5 January 2022
Season 1 was an 8/10 for me. It surpassed all of my expectations but i'm not sure what happened in season 2. It went from a promising season 1 to another CW blah show. It was still enjoyable but extremely disappointing compared to season 1.

mediocre start
2 January 2022
I could not tell you what i jus watched. Random incoherent scenes put together, the fights were pretty awful. I don't know if it's the choreography or maybe the old actor insists on doing em but he was terrible. Dude gritted his teeth and stared at the camera in some scenes.... you can tell he is trying to be a "tough" guy so bad. Hopefully it gets better and we see more fennec sand.

henry does no wrong
21 December 2021
Great show, the pacing is a little slow in the first season but nothing that'll turn you away. The action is great and you can tell henry cavill loves the role and takes it extremely serious. Season 1 was 8/10 for me and season 2 a 10/10. I enjoy the actress who plays ciri a lot and she hit a big growth spurt between seasons, i initially thought they replaced the actress. My only complaint was yennefer, not much character growth in season 2. I love the chemistry geralt and ciri have, wish they both got more screen time together.

not very fresh but enjoyable
21 December 2021
It's the ole gender role reversal ! Nothing you haven't seen before but still very enjoyable and just a good watch. It's college kids having sex and exploring friendships, you've seen it a million times with men in the lead roles but now it's women and it's still good. Very clever and funny.

sad noir dark tale
21 December 2021
I loved the movie, but i could definitely see how the pacing would put some off. It is a very slow burn but the dialogue saves it for me. IS IT MAN OR BEAST ? I liked the foreshadowing and juxtaposition. It was overall very well written and extremely enjoyable, i was lost in the set pieces and fully engaged the whole time. I do think shaving 30-35 min would've helped this movie a lot but the biggest help would've been not releasing the same weekend as spider-man far from home ! Yikes what were they thinking competing against the MCU.

fan service at its best
18 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The best spider-man movie of all time and definitely up there with the MCU movies. Nostalgic and nicely done to where it didn't feel like cheap fan service. The cinematography and directing were a huge step up from the previous two films and i was shocked to see it was the same director. Major kudos to him for stepping up his game drastically. Obviously the villains (aside from sandman and lizard) stole the show along with tobey and andrew. We were all given the closure we needed and it was so great to see andrew garfield back, his spider-man gets a lot of hate but i truly believe he is the best spider-man. His emotion made me tear up in almost every scene he was in. Playing tobey's score during his scenes was a really nice touch as well. Tom holland improved as well with the more serious themes, i hope it's not the end of his spider-man.

Mortal Kombat (2021)

solid
24 April 2021
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, plot was a little dumb but overall good. I didn't like the new character much, doesn't make sense to me why they didn't use liu kang as the main chosen one like he's always been but other than that it was solid. Hopefully the next one gets a better writer.

wasted potential
23 April 2021
The season as a whole was average but man that last episode was phenomenal, i wish we woulda gotten more serious stuff like episode 6 rather than those corny forced jokes early on in the season. The Isaiah stuff was the best part of the show and i'm glad we got to learn about it. The fighting was the laziest part of the show, hated how bucky lost almost every fight against humans with zero training, the serum jus made them strong, it didn't give them training so that was annoying all season. It was a lot of little things that kinda ruined every episode for me. Don't get me started on the flag smashers.....worst product we've seen in the MCU, did not care one bit about them or karli. Overall it was mediocre with the exception of a couple episodes. It could have been amazing it taken more serious but excited for the future of our new cap.
