Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always (2023)

Terrible, but in a good way

[5/10 · 25 April 2023]

Ok first the bad, Rocky now likes his food he never in a million years went from mr blobby To morphin time losing 50 pounds in the process !

They could have done better not having jdf asj and ajj there like the story could have been made as if they had moved on, killing Trini off was a balsy move I mean come on really that's brutal, The return of Rita was well done, the bond between blue and black was good just annoying how they wrote out the other 3 , they were nearly there just a few tweaks to the story ie not having jdf asj and ajj pointlessly there would have made all the difference, average and annoyingly fun just like the original.

If your depressed don't watch this film you'll blow your head off If your suffering from mental Illness don't watch this film you'll blow your head off If you've had a bad day there's a good chance you'll blow your head off If non of the above apply the film is too long spends too much time talking or thinking about the recently deceased instead of the story at hand It's not a bad film certainly one of better phase 4 films but the bar isn't high Visually ok some-dodgy effects but overall good The bad guy again is ok they've set up a part 3 I suspect this will make enough money to make pt 3 .......

The Matrix Resurrections (I) (2021)

Give it a chance

[8/10 · 18 January 2022]

Ok, wow I can understand while people may have walked out of this film during the first hour, it honestly seemed like a cheap parody of the original films I just could not see how this film could be redeemed, then it seemed in the last hour once neo had been ' released ' we got back to what made us enjoy the original film/s, now let's not kid about the special effects aren't even in the same ball park as the originals whether or not it was lower budget I don't know but it was lacking, that aside I resonated with the cast who took on the final part of the film, they were funny and I was genuinely worried they wouldn't all make it to the end, no idea how he got there but I thought the new smith was brilliant with a twist at the end , shout out to bugs and the new Morpheus they were entertaining in all of their scenes, so to summerise don't be put off by the first few acts I think you'll be happy enough come the end credits and.

Never Back Down: No Surrender (2016 Video)

Decent

[5/10 · 5 December 2021]

I'm glad Case didn't want to train kids again he obviously wants to forget part 2 as much as I do, Not really much to say a relatively simple plot decent action passable acting, get some mates round to watch with a few beers you'll have a good night.

The Suicide Squad (2021)

The hell ?!?

[2/10 · 27 September 2021]

First things first, I enjoyed the first one up untill the end, I agree that was stupid but as we now know the studio completely re edited the film, badly ! Which leads me into this one, at least in part one I got to the end of the film, this one I switched off on the hour mark when their still in the forest chatting to the butch chick from Predators.

The beginning of the film which saw numerous crims get killed in the way of a distraction had its moments but seeing captain boomerang who was fun in the first one out the first nail in the coffin.

I saw absolutely no chemistry between John cena and the black James Bond which should have been the glue the buddy feel I just couldn't see it.

After an hour I was bored to the point I honestly felt life's to short to take a gamble on if the film would pick up and redeem Itself,

Speaking of redemption the only 2 things good I took away from this was after 3 films Margot Robbie can actually speak in a New York accent and rat catcher 2 was pretty funny I liked her,

But all in all I was bored stupid I'm happy for you if you liked it just wasn't for me.

F9: The Fast Saga (2021)

I'll make it for supper !

[2/10 · 5 September 2021]

Ok most criticisms are that they went into space, not that Brian spent the whole movie baby sitting the kids and then showing up at the end for supper !?!

Write him out for the love of god, where's he going to be in F10 at Disney world with the kids while the gang save the world !?

Mayans M.C. (2018–2023)

Patience

[8/10 · 29 July 2021]

After the first 2 seasons I said to myself season 3 is going to have to be spectacular or I'm out, it didn't disappoint!

Season one was fair, it set up the story of ez which was fair, the story developed, my problem was you new literally nothing about the rest of the club, who were they what was their deal but nothing they just sat at the table and smoked.

The galindo cartel had a big part to play, we knew them from soa, the connection between ez and the cartel would become clearer over time.

Again season 2 more or less focused on ez and the cartel with a pretty big twist thrown in from the of season 1 but again we new nothing about the charter.

Season 3 literally exploded from start to finish it opened up new stories we found out about the rest of the charter, their back stories and what made them tick, stick with it guys , great show.

The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers (2021–2022)

I tried to hate it !

[8/10 · 26 March 2021]

We know what's going to happen, we saw it back when we were kids, secretly we all wanted to know what happened to Gordon, yes we can see how it's going to end but wasn't that the fun of the films ?

Let's just sit back enjoy the good times and hopefully let our kids and the youngsters enjoy the kind of show we grew up with.

PAW Patrol (2013– )

Ryder sounds 35 years old

[5/10 · 29 November 2020]

Just saying ! Generally a fun show for the kids just some of the cast seem to go from kids to middle aged ...

The Expendables 3 (2014)

Enjoyed it

[8/10 · 18 October 2020]

My personal favourite of the the 3, most intriguing is the ' baddie ' Stonebanks is genuinely mad and upset some of his brothers in arms were killed when they were sent to Capture him, you get the sense he didn't want to lay down any hurt on his old crew which doesn't make him a good guy by any stretch but he did have loyalty, in turn he's set on taking this out on Ross, the first two I found very annoying in parts where as this one just flowed, hope you all enjoyed it too.

It Chapter Two (2019)

Wtf did I just watch !?

[3/10 · 21 July 2020]

Firstly it only got a 3 because I believe Jessica chastain to be the perfect women !

Moving on, I've seen better effects on old re runs if the power rangers,

Was it a homo erotic comedy? It certainly seemed that way on a few occasions,

I liked pt1 I really did it had good actors a good story good effects and a story you were invested in, pt 2 I honestly cannot put into words How disappointed I was,

If you you have some friends coming round for a few beers a pizza and a smoke it might just be good for a giggle.

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (2019)

Why don't I care ?

[8/10 · 5 January 2020]

Ok, so I'm going to watch it in an hour, 2 or 3 weeks after the release date, up until now I've been at the midnight showings excited for events about to come. Now, I'm not, I'm only going because the babies asleep and my wife needs some alone time, why am I no longer excited ? Is it because I'm older ? Possibly, is it because Disney have made 2 very average films in this trilogy ( that's being polite ) this is a lot more likely. Tory had no game plan, no start middle and finish, I've been watching interviews with Kathleen Kennedy who yes died have a very good portfolio of films, buts she's come out and clearly said they've winged this, what an absolute joke, a kick in the teeth to every fan there is, but why should she she care right, she has more money than any of us will ever have right ? Now if I get back from seeing this tonight andI've found it amazing and it completely redeems the trilogy I'll come back and delete this, bug I doubt it !

Creed II (2018)

Disappointed #spoilers

[5/10 · 2 December 2018]

I went into this film expecting an explosive Rocky 4 follow up with brutal fights excellent training montages and a fitting soundtrack.

What I saw was a ' baddie ' whom it was very difficult not to feel sorry for, his father was overbearing and using him, his mother didn't show him an ounce of love.

Adonis had a good story to be fair let down by the bad guy which really wasnt that bad at all !

Now I'm not hating this film I think it was average, my biggest problem was the fact there's no closure between Rocky and Drago, at the end Ivan throws the towel to save his son, in the process giving him much needed father son affection, would this not have been a great time for Rocky and Drago just share a knowing nod at one another ?

I left the theatre feeling disappointed 5/10
