The Little Mermaid (2023)
An Unnecessary Inferior Remake
I think people who are not familiar and in love with the original will think it's fine but otherwise it's just another inferior remake.
While I will say I think Halle Bailey does a decent job, the rest of the cast is horrible. Melissa McCarthy makes Ursula downright boring and everyone cast to play Ariel's friends are just downright cringe. I'm normally a big fan of Daveed Diggs but he was absolutely wrong for Sebastian. Every time he was on screen was just annoying.
It unnecessarily long and boring, it's dark and at times hard to see, changes to the story and added characters contribute nothing (I found Queen Selena to be particularly irritating and unlikeable) the CGI is as bad as it looks in the trailers, and the costumes are just a mess. The remakes of the songs made my ears bleed (excluding the ones Halle sings).
All and all I'd say it's forgettable and will not stand the test of time like the original does.
Also, the song Scuttlebutt is the worst thing to happen in cinematic history. Just absolutely dreadful.
Ted Lasso: Mom City (2023)
Almost Gave Up On This But Glad I Didn't.
Season 1 and 2 of this show were amazing to say the least.
However, season 3 has been rough. After what were originally 30-40 minute long episodes became an hour + long that seemed to suck the fun and heart right out of this show, it has gotten back on track.
I do find it to be a bit preachy at times, but overall I'm willing to overlook it. Characters are acting like themselves again and it's the heartwarming upbeat TV series it once was that I initially fell in love with. I once again find myself very engaged in it and am excited to see how it ends. I just wish season 3 had been a bit better and wasn't full of all the ridiculous nonsense drama they filled it with.
But I'm glad to see it restored to its former glory and am very much looking forward to the finale.
Ted Lasso: We'll Never Have Paris (2023)
How to Kill a Show in 8 Episodes or Less
The more I watch season 3, the more I think they're intentionally trying to kill this TV show. Ted Lasso was once such a wholesome and charming series and now it's just generic garbage.
They've taken everything that made this show original and great and completely taken a dump on it.
They removed all the comedy, authenticity, romance, and intrigue and replaced it with boring nonsensical drama. I feel like I'm watching another dull hospital show. The storylines have gotten weird and overly political. I am just so disappointed that this show has gone to absolute trash.
The writers are awful and have made all the characters so unlikeable that you don't care about them or want them to succeed.
Ted has become such a useless coach that I'm not even sure why he still has a job.
I used to root for this show but now I just think it needs to be canceled and put out of its misery. It's gotten so bad there's no way it can bounce back.
To the people who destroyed this show - you'll get yours in hell.
Ted Lasso: The Strings That Bind Us (2023)
Puts You to Sleep Faster Than NyQuil
This show used to be funny, charming, and entertaining. Now it's just boring and puts you to sleep.
They sucked all the fun right out of this show. I used to laugh during every episode and walked away feeling happy and uplifted. It's not funny anymore and I can count on one hand how many times I've laughed this season.
I've basically given up on this series and only continue to watch it as background noise. The story has gotten so slow and lifeless that even when you're only half paying attention, you don't miss anything.
Everything about it has gotten pathetic and the characters have become very disconnected. Everyone is doing their own thing, it's all disjointed and at this point, I'm not even sure what this show is about anymore.
It's such a shame to see what was once such an amazing show get flushed straight down the toilet.
Ted Lasso: Sunflowers (2023)
RIP Ted Lasso - Season 3 is Dreadful
I'm confused as to why this episode is so highly rated. I found it insanely boring and full of fluff - like all the other episodes this season.
Had heard for years that this show was amazing and finally gave it a watch. Season 1 and 2 were amazing. I binged through them in about a month.
Started season 3 and quickly started losing interest. I wanted to give it a fair chance but dear God, after this episode, I'm giving up. What was once a funny-heartfelt series is has turned into some Grey's Anatomy garbage.
It's not funny anymore. Gets the occasional chuckle here and there but that's it.
The relationship drama is stupid and unnecessary. Breaking up Roy and Keeley was a mistake. Her and Jack have zero chemistry and I don't but it at all. I'm also tired of Ted moping over his divorce.
The shorter format was better. The hour+ episodes are too long and drawn out.
Ted is just annoying and unlikeable at this point. He's just not cute anymore.
I find it hard to care about any of the characters anymore. They just seem very one dimensional and dead this season.
Not even sure what the first part of the season was about. The purpose of characters like Shandy and Zava were what?
Show just started taking itself too seriously. All the critical acclaim went to someone's head and they killed everything about it that once made it unique and special.
I won't be watching anymore of this show and I really hate saying that. Someone really needs to be fired for this nonsense and trashing what was once and truly great show.
Ted Lasso: Signs (2023)
Show has really gone off the rails.
Used to be an amazing show.
Now it's just like every other crappy generic show on TV. It used to be funny, warm hearted, and uplifting.
It's just a regular crap show now with nothing but unnecessary drama.
None of the stories are fun and interesting.
There's no logic in any of it.
Breaking up Roy and Keeley was a huge mistake. There's nothing that suggested Keeley was bi or into women, Ted moping over his divorce is boring, Nate became so unlikeable that you have zero reason to root for him. It's like every aspect of this show has become about beating down the characters and making everyone's life sad and miserable.
Whoever planned this season really lost it.
The Real Friends of WeHo (2023)
Absolute trash.
Couldn't make it passed 10 minutes.
This show needs to be cancelled ASAP. I'm embarrassed for everyone involved.
For show that is allegedly supposed to be about influential LGBTQ+ friends, the cast is nothing but a bunch of boring washed up wanabe has-beens (who never actually were) who you know have never actually met prior to this garbage show being created.
Todrick Hall in particular is disgusting and despite this trashy show trying to paint him in a sympathetic light, no sane person would buy it.
If I die and go to hell, I'm pretty sure I'd be forced to strapped down to a chair and forced to watch this dreadful series on repeat.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022)
Horrible and boring.
Characters are terrible and dumb beyond belief.
The plot is terrible.
It's loaded with politics but doesn't seem to have any idea what kind of point it's trying to make.
The blood and gore were fun I guess but even then I have not idea why anyone would give this movie more than 2 stars.
Aftermath (2021)
Long and boring and is a ripoff of Within
Bad reviews are coming from the fact that it's a ripoff 2016's Within.
It's two hours and only needs to be 1.5. Also tired of horror movies constantly having to kill the dog. Try something new already.
Mulan (2020)
Painful to watch.
Literally everything good about the original is taken out of this remake leaving nothing more than a hollow shell of a movie about a Mary Sue who is the perfect fighter despite zero training and no character development. So many cringe worthy moments, stiff acting, and bad dialogue.
