Black Adam (2022)
10/10
Not a 10, but definitely not a 6
5 September 2023
A common theme among reviewers is that Pierce is the only redeeming quality of the film. His role is well executed, and Dwayne's is equally so. Everybody has the same bad writing, Dwayne AND Pierce performed very well with the material.

Otherwise, Hawkman is as annoyingly writen and acted as people say. Adam Smasher is as annoyingly written as people say. There is a lot of CG, but it looks very good.

I wrote this review for two main reasons. One, to call out the utter discriminatory takes on the performances of Dwayne vs Pierce. The other is to give it a bit of a boost from the 6.3 Star rating is has at the time of this writing.

All-in-all, it's about a 7. It's a super hero movie in the DC world, we all know that the DC movies don't hold a candle to Marvel flicks. But, Black Adam is still a fun movie.

The hate seems very oddly deep rooted. When you see comparisons to Wonder Woman, the deep roots seem even more apparent. No, WW wasn't good, but the theme of negativity remains.

Mech Cadets (2023– )
8/10
Good show, bad framerate
14 August 2023
Yes, the cons are real:

  • The frame-rate can be awful in scenes. There is a cool fight seen early on that is completely ruined by the frame-rate.


  • I don't know the source material, but if you're married to it it seems you'll be disappointed.


Otherwise, this is a fun show. While the frame-rate is bad and absolutely needs to be improved, the 3D modeling is good. The world depiction is good. The storytelling is fun and not too cheesy.

You've got all the typical character roles and messages about teamwork, responsibility, expectations, sacrifice, and the like. And while there is war against alien bugs and the typical schemes of humans trying to get there way, there is no humans killing each other, which is always welcomed.

Liking this better than Voltron w/ a 8.1 rating on here.
