Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023)
Not what I expected
After seeing the previews, and then the initial reviews, I was expecting something drastically different from what I've seen so far. Through 8 episodes, if I said there was fifteen minutes total for monster screen time, it's probably too much credit. Way too much dialogue, pointless plot buildup with zero rewards, with little to no time spent on these so called monsters, most of all being Godzilla who is hyped up as a major feature of the entire show and we've seen him all of five minutes so far. A waste of time, false assumptions and promises have been make to get viewers interested and they're rewarded with nothing.
Reed's Point (2022)
There's Bad and Then There's This
Bad dialogue, bad acting, bad cinematography, bad directing, costumes, blood, everything about this is plain bad. The opening scene with the music on the bus? The music is drowning out the conversation to the point of rendering the scene as pointless. The crash? Seriously? The fake blood, the creature slapping the father with his own arm that he tore off.
The entire purpose of a movie is to tell a story on some level. Yes, the plot revolves around the Jersey Devil, a local legend that the majority of the state doesn't even know or care about. They named a hockey team after it here and people went "why are they calling them the New Jersey Devils?" I say "why was this movie ever made?"
