The Gadget Show (2004)
A Shadow Of Its Former Self
The Gadget Show used to be very informative showing you the latest gadgets from A-Z of the Gadget world, giving you the specs, they'd also tell you the good points and bad. I hadn't watched the show for a few years and I've watched two episodes recently and am so disappointed at how much it has been dumbed done. All the show does now is get the average Joe; mum, dad and child and an 'expert 'to test the cheap, medium, and expensive version of a product and ask them which one is best. Items like toasters, steam cleaners and electric bbqs with no in depth spec or description like the show used to do.
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017)
More Lord of the Rings Than Arthurian Legend
What has been done with this film is they've made a fantasy film and attached it to the Arthurian Legend. This film was not entertaining, one bit.
I really enjoyed Lock Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Sherlock Holmes, and RocknRolla but I didn't like Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, which wasn't as good as the first, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., which was rubbish and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, which is utter rubbish.
I watched this without any preconceived perceptions (except it would be a retelling of the King Arthur legend) and I hoped it would be a top notch film. It wasn't, even if it was just simply a fantasy film with no connection to the King Arthur mythology it still wouldn't be worth watching, described as Lord of the Rings meets Snatch is true and it just doesn't work. The setting is, supposedly, Post Roman Britain but the society is more akin to Snatch, it doesn't look or sound right You might as well have the characters ask if anyone wants to go for a cheeky Nando's, or cry "nice one bruva!" and it's surprising no one, after a slight ribbing, says "banter" after. There is no historical accuracy except for the weapons and clothing in as far as there aren't any assault rifles or trainers. The armour or shield designs aren't anything from European history.
With gigantic elephants that are taller than the Statue of Liberty with siege weapons and pyramids on their backs, huge rats, bats, and colossal snakes. If you expected to watch an Arthurian epic retelling the legend that is King Arthur don't watch this film. If you want to watch a film like Clash of the Titans then this film then this is your cup of tea.
Red Tails (2012)
Couldn't stomach more than 5 minutes
When it was released I read up on this film and deduced that it wasn't worth my time or money on.
I decided to watch it online today and immediately knew my original decision was the right one, I couldn't stand to watch even 5 minutes of this rubbish.
From a purely film fanatic point of view IMHO it had poor acting and poor dialogue (the cheesiness was 10/10), poor use of CGI (models would have been better) and 2D characters who I wouldn't give a damn about.
And this was only 4 minutes in! It simply is that bad.
For a really good Second World War aerial battle themed film watch Memphis Belle.
Avoid watching this at all costs, its even worse than U-571, and that was bad!
