Old (2021)
Bad, even for a Shy Malayan
I don't even know how to right his name, but you know who I'm talking about
When you see a Shy Malayan movie, you know exactly what you'll get. A very nice trailer, turned into a horrible movie. There is no news on that. His Sixth Sense reputation is the only thing that still keeps the flame burning for this guy
However, usually his scripts are awful, but the actors are decent. I mean, this guy got Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix once!
Yeah, sure, he is normally a total mess. But man. This piece of trash got to a whole new level of awfulness.
If this was intentionally bad, it would deserve a full 10, because it's SO BAD that you laugh your lungs off. The main wife has probably never act before. Even the coral has better acting skills than her.
But men, at the end you realize this was not a joke. Shy Malayan wanted us to take it seriously. And that is too much.
The irony of all this, is that it seems that the movie last for loooooooong looooooooong years...
Well, another Malayan right in the spot.
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)
Just not 10 because it needed a real villain
I've seen many comments mentioning that the movie is great in so many aspects, but has no story. I think great part of it is because the villain story is so weak. It's that kind of villain that's just there to be beaten at the end. Her motive is so weak that you don't feel the real threat. Basically "I love living in the void, so ultimately I want to kill all other realities so the void is the only one". Even though it makes no difference for the if the others realities exists or not, since she only lives in the void.
But ok, enough with the bad part (in my opinion)
The movie is great. Not only because all of the obvious things (cast, nostalgia, cameos, soundtrack, etc), but mainly because it's a ray of hope that MCU can eventually get back on track. The movie specifically admits that the MCU is failing, that the F'd up.
Of course there's a possibility that this is the money grabber so they can then continue making bombs like Shehulk and Marvels, but i don't think this will be the way.
Deadpool is a delight for the fans. And I'm happy to see that Disney didn't mess up this great character.
Secret Invasion (2023)
I'm making an effort to enjoy it
I'm really trying to enjoy this. But 4 episodes on, it's been a really hard task.
I mean, it's not the WORST marvel show, because that title is owned by Shehulk by a landslide, and it would be really difficult for other show to earn it (difficult, but not impossible).
But I really miss the times when Loki or wandavision were airing. I remember getting super excited after each episode ended, counting the days for the next episode to come. Making a lot of theories, trying to find secret meanings or hidden signs on every episode.
Every day a new episode came out, I instantly got to my app to see the title and the length, and kept excited the whole day until I finally got the chance to watch it at night.
With secret invasion, it's completely the opposite. I sometimes go one day or two without watching the new episode. To be completely honest, this fourth episode I only watched it on Friday because I completely forgot about it on Wednesday. And after finishing it, my reaction was "ok, what else is on now?", and switched to Netflix to see the new Adam Devine comedy.
This is the kind of "excitement" the last episode gave me. And we are on the 4th episode out of 6. The story should be on fire right now. But it isn't.
So yeah. SheHulk is the worst show. But Secret Invasion has a good potential to beat that. Let's see.
UPDATE: yeah, no surpise at the end. The men are dumb, the women save the world.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always (2023)
It could have been a classic
I was so excited when I saw Netflix was bringing again one of my childhood heroes. The original Power Rangers. Sure, I would have preferred Jason and Kimberly over Rocky and Kat, but that wasn't a deal breaker.
But man, what a weak story. Uninspired. The nostalgic effect was great (it really was, they didn't update any of the uniforms or zords, and that was so cool), but it didn't seem like a 30y/o chapter. There was no evolution on the story.
The actors seemed like they didn't want to be there. There was no feeling on them. It's like they just accepted it for the cash and that's it, let's get over with it already.
There's even a scene around the 37:23 minute, in which there supposed to be a dangerous fight happening. The rangers just took off and the monsters are still around. But on the background you can see some random people walking by, that probably were not warned they shouldn't be there. And they aired that anyway!!
And, oh god, what was that new yellow ranger acting? Even butter ads have better actors on it. The girl couldn't even play dead properly. And I mean, if you can't play the role of a DEAD PERSON, something is really wrong with your acting skills.
I was so sad after seeing that. It's a shame what happened with that. It was supposed to be a nice reunion event. But it seemed just like some random episode on the 40th season.
I give it a 3 because it had some moments. But it could have been way better.
The Watcher (2022)
You can't change the end of a real story, you all know that, right?
I'm surprising on how may people are complaining about the end, wanting it to be different.
IT'S BASED ON A TRUE STORY! You can't just change the end!!!
Some people want to see a movie about Titanic in which they shoot the iceberg down and go through it safely, and then arrive at New York to eat some hot dogs, lol
The series is great, is intriguing, it gets you tighten to it. Acting is good enough, the cast is also great.
My only concern, is if the viewer suffers some kind of anxiety issues, because this could be a trigger for it. Specially on the first two episodes it's a little bit suffocating, but that only reinforces the great job done.
Blockbuster (2022)
Once again Netflix kills Blockbuster
Yeap, the irony on this is gigantic.
I made a HUGE effort to like this, since I really enjoy Park and Fumero. Also, the main purpose of the show was very intriguing for me.
The pilot episode wasn't funny at all, but i thought that's ok, because many many shows kind of fails on the pilot, since the characters are not comfortable yet, but from the next ones on, get better (Friends and Big Bang Theory are two good examples of this).
The thing is, I saw the second, then the third, and no single laughs were given at all. By the middle of the fourth episode (see, I was REALLY trying), I just couldn't bare this anymore. I felt really bad for the actors, because they seemed like that stand comedy that the host didn't managed to get the audience, but anyway has to stay on stage till the end of the show.
Anyway, it's really ironic how the company that ended Blockbuster's business, had the ability to do it one more time.
Werewolf by Night (2022)
Great Surprise
Absolutely loved it. What an unexpected but very pleasant surprise
After 8 weeks of the awful She Hulk series, it's nice to see such a good content added to the MCU.
To be honest, I didn't know this character so I can't say if the story is accurate. But it's very entertaining. I thought the fact of being a black and white vintage style would bore me off, but on the contrary, it's actually very dynamic, fast paced and entertaining.
The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because I would have loved to see any kind of connection to MCU, even as a post credit scene. I know there is a small connection at the beginning of it, but it would have been nice to see a little bit of how this would connect to the universe.
Either way, great addition!
Monster (2022)
Must be watched at 1.5x to be Good
It started well. First episode was quite good, it keeps you very tense all the time, it gives you a claustrophobic feeling. The second one was fine, but way slower. On the third one I caught myself too many times watching my phone, wishing for the episode to be over already. The solution was to watch it in 1.5x. This was the game changer for me. It became a perfectly paced show once i speeded it up.
Apparently I'm an exception here, because everybody seem to love it at it's original pace. But this is waaaay to slow for me.
So, unless you're a huge fun of extremely low paced slow-burn genre, i suggest speeding it up, and then you'll have a great experience with the show.
Locke & Key (2020)
Season 3 killed the likeability
Seasons 1 and 2 were nice and fun. But on season 3, they turned the whole family into the Three Stooges.
Not only they always make the more obviously wrong decisions, but also the season itself contains a lot of plot holes. They introduce rules just to break them a few moments after.
I'll not mention all of those moments, but I have to mention a MAJOR plot hole.
I believe it's on episode 5 or 6, don't remember quite well. But Bode is inside the body of a small bird, and he commands all the other birds to attack Gideon, so the brothers can steal the keys. Very well. They manage to pull the key bag, dropping all the keys.
On this moment, with all the keys on the floor, and Gideon completely open to any attack, instead of getting the Demon Key and killing Gideon at that moment (and then having all the time in the world after that) they prefer to leave the Demon Key on the floor, and simply get the Animal key to free Bode. And after that, they just simply stand, waiting for Gideon to recover himself and get all the keys again.
Of course, the show would have ended after that, if they took the obvious decision.
That moment was when i draw the line. My limit of stupidity acceptance was broken at that moment.
And that keeps happening for the whole third season.
My "5" grade is a balance between the whole three seasons.
The Sandman (2022)
Two seasons in one - a little odd to me
Sandman's first season is actually composed by two different seasons, with few connections between them.
The first season (episodes 1-6), in which the story goes around Morpheus being kidnapped, having his powers stolen, and having to recover them in order to restore his hingdom, is absolutely awesome. However, I thought it was too fun to be that rushed.
Then comes the second season (episodes 7-10) in which the characters from the first season are already killed or forgotten (with one or two exceptions), and everything that happened in season one is no longer mentioned, since now the mission goes around the Vortex.
I thing they missed an opportunity to have a full season, well developed, focusing on the first story. And then, make a full second season focusing on the vortex theme.
I just hope the next season is not rushed this way again.
El Clan (2015)
Not everyone can appreciate this movie
If you're expecting a movie with George Clooney fighting bad guys while he sprays cologne, you'll be dissapointed.
This is a movie that goes deep into one of the darkest period in Argentina's dictatorship.
It's not a Hollywood movie. Don't go expecting one.
Gatlopp (2022)
Just lay down and enjoy it
It's a quick movie for when you just wanna feel silly and have some laughs. The good thing about it is that it doesn't try to be more that it really is, and that's what makes it fun and decent.
Resident Evil (2022)
Not that bad, but the spoiled children ruin it
Two spoiled girls are very mad because their father works works his a. Off to provide for her,m. That includes him taking them to an elite neighborhood in South Africa. At that moment the racist girl already bashes all the white kids, just for the fact that they're white. Curiously, all of them treat her perfectly well, as it should be with anyone.
And that's just the first 3 ou 4 minutes of the show.
The whole series it's fine (it may not be a blueprint of the game, but that's not a deal breaker, at least not for me)
The adults parts are decent. It's a textbook zombie story, but it's fine to watch. But whenever the spoiled girls get back on the scene, they simply ruin the show. Not only the characters are poorly constructed, but the actresses are also awful. And there are so many good kid actors. I don't know why they did this.
It's a shame, because otherwise it would be a decent show.
Dune: Part One (2021)
Nice movie, but way too long
The story is ok, but this movie could have easily had 90 to 120 minutes tops.
The movie is way too long for what it has to offer. When you get to see a movie like interstellar, you have the same 150min, but it goes so fast you can't even notice it.
This movie, however, has a reeeeealy slow pace, way to many "visions" from the main character (ok, we get it, the girl is important, 2 or 3 visions of it would have been enough, we don't need to have the same visions 7, 8, 9 times).
Honestly I don't know if I'll have the patience needed to see a the sequels.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
Be aware this is a KIDS movie
My 5 grade is because the movie wasn't clear about the target audience. Had I known it was intended exclusively for kids, I wouldn't have chosen another movie to watch.
And it's not BECAUSE they're children. Stranger Things has exactly the same actor, among other good ones, and it's a family show.
If you're a kid, you'll probably like it. If your an adult, you'll probably like the first 20min and the last 10min. You'll bored the rest of the time, but those last 10min can be a silverline.
Not good, not bad. Just 5/10.
Ms. Marvel (2022)
Ignore all the "1" and "10"
You can ignore all the extremist grades, because they're obviously biased.
In my humble opinion (as a 41 yo) I'm just watching it because it's marvel, and will have a connection with the '23 Capitain Marvel movie.
As a show for itself, it is indeed aimed for children (not for the whole family, but specifically for children)
Maybe if i was a teenager I'd like a little bit more.
Maybe if I wasn't such a huge marvel fan, I'd probably like it a little bit less.
Btw, there are currently only 2 episodes aired, so there's a good chance things will gear up from now on. Fingers crossed.
UPDATE: Yeah, they didn't.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)
Just skip the humans part
The recipe to enjoy this movie is simple:
1. Keep in mind it's a family/kids movie
2. At all cost, jump the 100% humans part - they are boring, long, and add absolutely NOTHING to the story.
Also, it's better if you know the games, because the movie is filled with lots of reference. I mean, a LOT of them!
If you do these three things, there's a good chance you'll have a very pleasant time watching it, because it's a really fun movie
I only graded it 7 because we shouldn't have to skip parts in order to enjoy it.
Space Force (2020)
Boring
It was hard to finish the first season. But in the second one, I dropped about 5min into de first episode. It's waaaaay too boring. And I wish you all the best just to reach te minimum characters.
No wonder it got cancelled.
The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window (2022)
NOT a Comedy
If you're looking for a comedy, get far from this. It's a thriller without a single bit of comedy in it. It's ok, it's nice to watch. But it's no masterpiece. Netflix should REALLY review their classification system.
Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms (2021)
So boring. Fell asleep twice!!
My god! What a BORING animation. Those were the longest 90min of my life. I fell asleep before the first 20min. Then I started again, and fell asleep ONE MORE TIME! No movie has ever managed to do that.
It has no logic story. No connection. Scorpion is looking to the sun, and out of nowhere, Cyrax and Sektor suddenly are attacking him, magically discovering who we was, where he was and what we was carrying.
And the final Power Rangers battle. My dear Mortal Kombat, what have they done to you.
An American Pickle (2020)
You must have a brain to watch it
If you're expecting to see Superbad, poo-poo jokes and stoned up teenagers making noises, this is not the film for you. Just don't undervote a movie simply because you don't have the brain needed to watch it.
It is a great movie. It has its flaws of course, but those are 90min worth your time.
Red Notice (2021)
Honest review
It's exactly what you can expect. An action film with The Rock and R. Reinolds playing their funny action roles, and Gal Gadot being boring, with no expression what so ever, as she always is. But it's good enough to have a couple of hours of fun time with zero thinking needed for it. It's like watching Sonic.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
Great Superhero movie
Great visuals, nice story, excellent fight scenes, fun moments, and mysteries for the future. Just everything needed in a Marvel movie. Marvel did it once with Black Panther, and now does it again with Shang Chi. Mixing superhero movie into a cultural environment. Just great!
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021)
Waaaaay too political
Nobody cares of Captain America's skin color. We just want Cap fighting bad guys and bouncing his shield all around. Stop trying to create political problems. This was supposed to be FUN. Please, don't forget that.
What If...? (2021)
Just ignore the haters
Yes. It's an animated series. So ignore negative votes due to that. The show is great, and it's dedicated for MCU fans. Of course it would not please everybody all the time. At least for me, although I love Dr Strange, I found his episode extremely boring. But the first three epsisodes were great, and I expect the same for the rest.
