Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
A Great movie, with some problems
Marvel really needs to learn that it's not necessary to make jokes every minute to bring a good story to life. The second half of the movie is outstanding-very well written, with excellent character development and some of the most beautiful fight scenes in the entire MCU. However, the first half loses its way at various points, with poorly timed jokes, an inconsistent rhythm, and confusing ideas. It almost feels like a different film. One of the movie's strengths lies in its fight and action scenes, particularly in the final arc. It's evident that a lot of effort went into making these moments great, and it pays off perfectly. In the end, it's clear that diving deep into characters is far more valuable than relying on constant humor.
The Undoing (2020)
I think this serie is underrated
Okay, the show definitely has some problems, but it's pretty funny and engaging. Personally, I thought the main issues were the acting, which is especially bad for the main character, and the pacing in the first half. From the middle to the last episode, the pacing becomes more fluid and natural, but there are still some moments where things happen too quickly between periods of total inactivity. The trial, for me, was very interesting and had some nice twists. However, one thing that made me uncomfortable was how the evidence was revealed at very convenient moments, making it impossible to predict from the beginning who the killer was. Anyway, the ending is a bit exaggerated, but overall, it's a great show that provides some good mystery and makes you doubt everyone, even the most unlikely characters. Pretty solid for a nice investigation show, to watch in one or two days.
Mare of Easttown (2021)
Amazing experience
A very well-made investigation story for those who miss the feeling of mystery mixed with a complex main character. The trama has many good plot twists that will surprise you, and, at the same time, convince you that it is coherent. The direction did an amazing job, making the pace very enjoyable, and every single piece of information is relevant, even though it may not seem like it. While watching it you will be surprised in various moments. Between the investigation, we discover more about the main character, and some drama of her own life, what makes the experience even more enjoable. There's even space for some well calculated jokes, that will probably take a smile out of you. Drama, mystery, and even some fun moments make this an HBO masterpiece, for sure.
Black Mirror: Demon 79 (2023)
Out of place, but good still
I've seen a lot of comments saying that this episode has nothing to do with black mirror. And I agree. The closest connection is using old style tech to present the story. However, despite this out of place situation, I felt the episode as something pretty solid. It build good caracters, make nice parallels, and don't follow the most previsible path. In the end, was a nice experience, a well made story that doesn't involve the black mirror core ideas, but suggests something new and yet, exciting.
I've seen someone suggesting in the comments that they should create a new série for episodes like this. I agree. Mazey Day and Demon 79 definitely could be in a ontology about terror and fantasy movies.
Moon Knight (2022)
I think this série is really underratted
Honestly, after seeing so many people talking that marvel lose its foot on the last times, and after watching Thor, Doctor Strange and Loki, with kinda disappointed me in different ways, I really was expecting nothing from this série.
However, the more I watch it, the more I realize it's has been underrated. The direction is decent, make some mistakes but is coherent in the long run. The script also is not innovative, but make good use of all the imaginative possibilities available, and is especially amazing in building the caracters.
Episode 4 is probably the more medium one, but all others are excellent for me. The effects are used in a very clever way, being hidden in the begging, probably to low the costs of production, and used in more intensity near the end, since it's where the story needs them more. The build up, the universe created, all personalitys elements, the understory of the main character, the motivations of the villain, is all very interesting and coherent. Again, is not a perfect série, but is clearly efficient in what is doing. For me, it should have at least 7.5 as a note (especially since people gave 8.2 to Loki, witch is just a big mess)
I really recommend. Is funny, interested, cativating and has some good background elements plus caracter development. Hope we see more of this caracter in future marvel productions.
Kaubôi bibappu: Cowboy Bebop (1998)
Artistic, funny and interesting
Cowboy bebop is beautiful. His structure are creative in every aspect possible, each one of the episodes tell a different storie, usually completely disconnected to the others (or not munch), with a narrative that embraces some of the most iconical styles on sci-fi gender: episodes witch a super-hero style, classic bounty hunter, romantic drama, comedy and others are mix up with very instigating characters and a soundtrack that usually matches in a very unique way with the storie. You will find episodes that are bases or rock themes, classic jazz or even pop music, and in this meantime some instrumental sounds shall be heard, and they are all perfectly connected to the drama, art, e rhythm.
This combination of different ideas make every episode unique, almost like you where watching a "collab" of different authors. Although it has some main arcs, they'r splitted across the 26 episodes in a way that make them interesting, but not the main focus.
I think all of theses traces makes this one of the most iconical animes to watch. Is different, unique and very elegant in its composition. You should deffinetly watch.
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
i think people are overhating this movie
WW84 have some nice aspects, but i think the expectation for the new title, after all is one of the first superhero movies in a long time since pandemic started and is the new warner try to add more viewers to HBO max. The movie has some problems, which for me are basically: some action scenes are terribly artificial, the script follow some weird path and has some god ex machina, and some characters might feel too munch artificial or an repetitive ideia. However, i think this movie does something that has already been seen in other medias in a new way, it some beautiful ideas (and well executed in some cases), interesting character (if you go ahead after the first generic impression, i will notice that the villains are really nicely acted and is perfectly possible to enjoy then) and some nice superhero movie aspects (arts are beautiful, some fight scenes are nice to see and the entery mithology is nice - at least for me -). This movie was actully capacble of getting my feelings, but wasnt good enough for me to end it wanting more. Is just some nive hero storie, with problems, but handles itself very properfly inside the goal.
La casa de papel (2017)
Excepcional!
With nice artistic choices, a smart storie and charismatic characters, La Casa de Papel os one of the best things you will find in series! However, the show still have problems, especially in the second season and the end of first season: plot holes and conveniences, besides drama bad posicioneded make the show less then it could be; however this doesn't mean a terribly thing, just are mistakes that most public will barely notice. In the end this serie still one of the best and you really should watch this now!
Stranger Things (2016)
Masterpiece!
And one more time Netflix bring to us a new excelent season of Stranger Things. The nice story continues interresting in this third season: a lot of character dinamics are developed and upgraded, new carismática character, a classic and still very well made 80's atmosphere and a threat interresting and captivating. The story is simples, but really well made and memorable, for sure stranger things is one of the best series today!
The Boys (2019)
Simply amazing!
The boys shows us a new way to see the heroes; but not stop there, with exciting characters and nice ideas, the episodes construct a story that's delicious to watch. However some moments still feel slow, but nothing that can destroy the experience. A really nice serie that everyone should see
Jessica Jones (2015)
Excelent! Everony should see
The 1st season was a masterpiece, David tennat created a perfect Kilgrave/PurpleMan while Jessica Jones shines in Krysten Ritten interpretation, the other actings are excelent too, with combined with and awesome story, with nice timing and structure, created a memorable 1st season. The 2st and 3st seasons, however, decreased in quality but had never become bad, just good. Some decisions in the story made 3st season weaker them it could be, and for both seasons the necessity of 13 episodes was terrible: a lot of moments had to be extended to full this request and the story lost timing with this, looking sometimes boring. However, Jessica Jones has a really nice story to tell in all seasons, and do so in a really interesting way, creating carasmatic characters in a noir atmosphere that makes everything really interesting and nice to watch. A good experience, with remarkable moments, and worth to see!
The Defenders (2017)
Valid, but not a big deal
In first place, the story is completely dumb. Full with conveniencies and plot holes, it looks like we are watching something made just for show the heroes together, and not to create a epic story. The villains are unfuntional: we have to believe they are bad just because someone is telling us this, in any moment the villains create a situation that really looks problematic or terrific. Along with this you can count with a lot of dramas and romances that simply doesn't work and some fight scenes really bad filmed, with a lot of cuts. Basically the only thing that save this serie from some horrible ending is the main characters; the interraction between them made some really nice moments and nice fights (theres some nice fights, and some bad fights). Is a valid experience, but no more than something to see and forget soon.
