House of the Dragon: The Queen Who Ever Was (2024)
This and the whole season were so boring that they should not even have happend
I thought the writers were going to give us a magnificent ending after the entire show was just about talking and Daemon's tripping. But no. The finale fit the mood of the previous episodes in the second season - it went nowhere, was utterly disappointing, boring and overly lacked any purpose.
The first season ended on a note that there was going to be a war. So you are looking forward to the second season to see some great fights and story but no - what you get is 8 episodes of nowhere-leading, dull and senseless writing to "build you up" for a war in the third season (that, for all we know, may not even come as they may again try to bore us, further milk the show and delay things until the 4th season).
13 (2010)
Probably the most pointless movie I have ever seen
It seemed like the director woke up with an idea (an underground Russian roulette game bet on by the rich) and then built up the rest of the movie around it, not caring about whether the actors and actresses had any charisma and could play, or whether there was any meaningful story in it or any pacing - just to get to the part where a couple of characters you know nothing about and do not care about stand in a circle with their guns pointing at the person in front of them and then shoot at them when permitted to (once you're there, just keep repeating it several times).
An abominable "movie" that could not be defended even with a 5-dollar budget claim.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)
Bizarre mystical story but if there is nothing to watch, should be OK
Besides the fact that the main actress now has short hair so instead of a spectacular feminine river flow she looks like a seashore dike and probably fits HW's desire to make genders "fluid" and confuse people, and besides turning masculine African Americans into whiners "jokingly" saying things to other guys such as "I would kiss you on your mouth", or turning Godzilla, the King of Monsters, purple, it was a watchable movie. Obviously, you cannot expect any deep story as it is meant to be a movie where giant monsters are beating the heck out of each other.
The "jokes" were unfunny too as HW keeps repeating the same formula to the point that it has simply become unbearable. None of the jokes even managed to make me smile let alone laugh.
But overall, it was a watchable movie with lots of fights between "monsters", decent visuals and special effects and acceptable story.
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
"I have an IQ of 48" - so does everyone who liked this or considered it funny
I managed to watch the first 25 minutes and felt like this was not only boring, unfunny but God awful to the point that I felt like I was losing some brain cells. This was a movie for 5 year olds and those who spill milk on their T-shirts while drinking or have huge mustard stains on their wife beaters while burping out the alphabet.
The main actor and his female competitor riding on unicorns, primitive unfunny "jokes", no meaningful story and apparently, there is even a sequel. Well, definitely not going to watch that one.
How can this be considered a defining comedy of our time by some? Did they make the survey at a kindergarten?
Then again, Will Ferrell is not exactly a comedian (not when he is the one writing the script).
Borat was being silly but funny for the most part. This was both dumb and unfunny. It is like that guy in your class who tries so hard to be funny that it is painful to watch and you start to feel sorry for him.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
A few funny moments toward the end but otherwise meh
First of all, I had a hard time looking at the lead scissors-loving girl (?) character who looked just like her brother but perhaps that was the intention: to erase any differences between girls and boys and make them "fluid."
Second, when the daughter called her mom by her first name and her mom's reaction to it was too soft, it was a nice display of what a modern liberal parenting can do to a child and the society.
Third, incorporating a desire to become a "ghost" felt like some bizarre way to have teens toy with ideas pertaining to death rather than focus on how to live a happy life.
Fourth, "jokes" about killing kids were creepy, not funny at all, and just another proof that the movie bears a "horny" signature straight from the fiery pits of HW.
Fifth, a superficial soulless teenager making unwanted sex "jokes" was pure cringe.
Overall, the movie lacked soul, there was no true ghost busting, the majority of "funny" scenes were cringeworthy and not funny at all and the writers tried very hard to communicate certain unpleasant/wrong things subliminally. A hard pass.
Love Lies Bleeding (2024)
A movie strong-arming the audience to accept stuff
Abysmal sound effects and visual make-up, empty script for hollow and/or confused spectators and, of course, masculine "women" to slowly get people immune to it. I believe there is no need to say that this movie is just another proof that the De Ville has captured the holy wood. Both actresses were (intentionally) made physically unpleasant to look at but that is perhaps because there was very little femininity infused in them. Unless you like to eat alphabet soup, then you will not find much in this movie as normal people want to watch movies to see great acting and great meaningful story or get a great laugh and there was none of it in this movie. If the main point of your story is just someone's superficial attachment and confusion for the sake of forcing it down our throats then you will undoubtedly please the De Ville's holy wood but not the actual audience. As can be seen from the reviews here, they are not from normal people and/or are not unbiased. There was no true "female power" there, the only pulsating thing there was my vein from the sudden high blood pressure - just two tomboys being confused and focusing on unimportant things. Don't watch this movie if you have any brain cells left. Also, look at the actual reviews and not the "weighted" reviews. Some are scared of people hearing the truth so censorship and "adjustments" are necessary to keep the narrative alive.
The Flash: A New World, Part 4: Finale (2023)
Stopped watching after 4th season, came back for this episode
I stopped watching after the 4th season and it seems that I made a great decision. After all those years I somehow stumbled upon Zoom and just went to check if he appeared in any later episodes, found this one so decided to watch it and man, it was so painful to watch.
Who was this Zoom character? A complete joke - not just the "new" portrayal, but also the acting from Teddy. And he was beaten by Catlin who was probably wielding "female power". Also, why wasn't his lightning blue? But maybe it is for the better as it won't spoil my memory of him from the 2nd season.
Thawne, beaten by another woman. At least I got a great laugh how parody-like it seemed.
Savitar beaten by a teenage girl who simply "vibrated." Oh, Lord.
Then there was some unpleasant speedster Godspeed who was just a pure cringe (not sure if he was like that even when he was the original villain). Cecile (whom I couldn't stand), another woman, just did some ridiculous voodoo trick and he was just beaten.
And Eddy was supposedly their leader and wielding a Sith sword - just comical.
Of course, the poison in the west has forced show-runners to replace original comic book characters with diversity (Iris) etc. But now it seems they also added the clownish guy who was there instead of Cisco (?) and was with the girl who beat Thawne so they had an additional nice push toward multi-culti.
Joe was just unrecognizable.
Fargo: The Tender Trap (2023)
Just give it a pass if you can
There is a scene in which a lazy (white) guy is telling his strong (non-white) wife that he wants a real "wife" (in unrealistic terms of the screenwriters it means "a woman who cooks and cleans, pleases her man, emotionally and financially supports him, and asks him about his day first"). Ah yeah, t(g)ender trap. Ridiculous dialogs and character portrayal. Unrealistic abilities and luck of female characters. Just the cape and spandex were missing. Not a great development of the story. What else is there to say about this. It is simply enough to make one want to stop watching what used to be a great show once.
Loki: Glorious Purpose (2023)
The weakest season
Each of the episodes was about the same thing and it became boring quite fast. Nothing interesting was happening. It seems like the main actors and actresses also lost interest in the storyline.
New MCU holds no light to the old one. Just another proof that sacrificing a good story to diversity is never a good thing.
While the first season was unique, had the thrill, suspense, action, good story, the second one was quite the opposite and with every episode I was glad that the season was nearing its end. What is the point of producing a huge amount of material when the quality of each is subpar and I've heard that Marvels is very bad too, Bring back the quality and competence and fire inept diversity garbage.
Loki: Heart of the TVA (2023)
Very slow season
The second season has been very weak. The story-telling has not been very enjoyable (they pretty much just spend time talking to O. B. and looking at a "looming danger." Majors cannot play but hey, at least the diversity casting requirement is checked. The chemistry between Loki and Mobius is pretty much the only thing that is still great about this show. Sylvie somehow lots her appeal and seems to be only a fleeting addition rather than emanate the aura she had in the first season. Renslayer is boring and utterly pointless and Miss Minutes has become tiresome too. While the first season had the thrill, emotion and mystery, this one has the same boring loop in every episode including a ridiculous villain (in acting, rather than comic book character).
Gotham: Legend of the Dark Knight: The Trial of Jim Gordon (2019)
Not good at all
What can I say? Ben McKenzie should learn how to talk and act - all his emotions are communicated using the same annoying whispering pseudo-angry voice which after 5 seasons is just unbearable. Barbara's visual change over the seasons (for the worst - literally an ugly short-haired tomboy) and her feminist monologues are likely a reflection of the change in the management. David Mazouz couldn't play the future Batman even if he wanted to - he is just a whiny posh boy. Selina has become also very annoying and seems like she's aiming for a Garfield appearance rather than a Catwoman portrayal. Lee is also just unneeded in so many ways and gets on my nerves. Pinguin was pretty good in the beginning but after they made a guy lover out of him, he lost his fearful image and just keeps pitching hissy-fits like a little child. This episode was a filler with a cliched theme - a person has been shot and now we are in his or her head.
Cory Michael Smith has been amazing as Ed Nygma (likely the best portrayal of the said character) and so has been Donal Logue as Harvey and Sean Pertwee as Alfred. Dr. Strange, Fish, Don Falcone characters (also thanks to their actors/actresses) would have made this episode way more palatable.
The Mandalorian: Chapter 22: Guns for Hire (2023)
Participation trophies and another filler episode
First off, who cares about some Bo-Katan Kryze? Nobody. She proved to be an inept leader but now she was handed the darksaber even though she does not deserve it and is seen as someone who can unite everybody. Mando should have continued carrying it, learned mastering it and ruled the Mandalore. Disney has been clearly emptying the gash bucket on our heads since the very beginning of this season. The show has moved nowhere with this episode and if anything, it has been backwards. Just another dumb quest to complete only for the episode to reach the end and you realize, once again, that you've learned nothing important about any of the characters or the main plot.
A Man Called Otto (2022)
If it wasn't for certain ideas, it would be a good movie
I would have given it a decent 7.5 but one line messed it up for me: Otto's wife passed away and he was dealing with the aftermath of it so the movie starts building up gradually and you start feeling sad for him and then, when you are sympathizing with him, the screenwriters hit you hard with the "stuff"- during one of Otto's "grumpy" interactions with a boy delivering newspapers on a bike the boy tells him that Otto's wife was the first person that didn't treat him like a freak 'cause he's "different." Yes. They first get you ready, make you drop your guard and then they deliver a blow. Go watch the original movie. The modern remakes are mostly focused on taking a good old movie and "updating" it to the "modern" world.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022)
A pure cringe that not even Daredevil could save
. . .but it was rich in superficial trashy unmarriable old women behaving like dumb teenage girls. Nothing was happening here, the constant cringe-worthy interruptions with Maslany "speaking to us", boring and shallow characters with no charisma and all men (preferably white) were either made dumb or sleazy. Not even Daredevil made it watchable (similar to Fisk when he appeared in Hawk-eye) - if the whole product is trash than no character (however good their actors/actresses are) can really help it. Oh, and promotion of the hookup culture, of course, was present as well.
The phase started off in a decent way - WandaVision, Loki... then it went down the hill with Falcon, Hawkeye, Ms Marvel, this, not to mention the last Thor movie which was a joke or the sequel to Doctor Strange. Good stuff is being messed up to fit into the degenerate HW's narrative.
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
Pure cringe. The very first Marvel movie I had to fast-forward
Oh Lord. I could not bear watching the first 10 minutes so I had to fast-forward. Clowning the strong male superheroes so that there could be female replacements (similar to She-Hulk), almost every scene was an unfunny cringe, masculine women with suit pants, men wearing skirts (Zeus walking down the stairs like a ballerina) and with no sense of purpose. Disgusting. Clownish new MCU. I'm sure you remember the com-mie references in Doctor Strange 2 ("we go on red", "everything is free here"). Here, they used the god killing. Perhaps once the "gods" are dead, we are going to get some com-mie hero to look up to.
Cobra Kai: Head of the Snake (2022)
The best and funniest season so far
I thought it would not be possible but the writers keep bringing really good stuff. The last fifth season was the best one and I had a really good laugh as well (Marvel should take notes). Kreese is a really good villain but next to Silver he is like a puppy. Having said that, I really liked Kreeses transition to his more mature self and toward inner balance. Also, in the fourth season I was a bit scared that Terry is just too old but here he managed to pull his crazy persona again (not just glimpses as he started showing toward the end of the fourth season). Brilliant acting.
"But I want a top guy, not one of your greasy cousins." - Sensei Kreese sharing his unexpected insight into Daniels family.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Not as good as the first one + DS finds himself in the Multiverse of Wokeness
"We go on red." + "food's free in most universes": yes, once you know who owns Hollywood, you will figure out who is subliminally pushing this commie garbage down your throats. And the bad capitalist got beaten in the end. And lesbian mothers were not missing in the movie, of course. Yes, that is the new Doctor Strange movie. There wasn't enough of him in the movie, the plot was not strong enough to make you want to watch it again sometime but it was very colorful - I'll give it that. I wonder how Scott Derrickson envisioned it. It would have undoubtedly been better since the 1st Doctor S was amazing but well, Marvel has to push demented agendas onto people so the "creative differences" were of course off-putting to Scott and we got this instead. I guess we can't have everything.
Uncharted (2022)
Dull script and Holland can't act
There was not a minute that I would find thrilling or enjoyable.... the story was dull and I just couldn't stand Holland... he barely pulled off a clownish version of a Spiderman and here it was the same thing - a clownish version of a Spiderman... he just has no charisma and should stick to roles where he can play a stuttering teenager... also, what's with the masculine hairstyle of these otherwise beautiful actresses? Batman, Uncharted.... trying to blend genders much, Hollywood?
The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian (2022)
Astonishing
I don't know why but I was mesmerized by this episode. Perhaps it was because of the history behind the Darksaber, the near extinction of Mandalorians, their helmet wearing rules and what happens to a Mandalorian who removes it or has it removed, Mando's new spaceship (the N-1 starfighter) . . .or simply because of the characters in it and their acting skills. While The Armorer tried to teach Mando how to use the Darksaber, it would be interesting to see an actual Jedi teach him once he visits Grogu. Also, the droid section in the N-1 starfighter almost looks like a spot for Grogu so Grogu will likely join Mando on this next quest.
Dexter: New Blood: Sins of the Father (2022)
I'm sorry but the others are right - a very poor writing in this episode
Nothing, and I repeat nothing would have stuck to Dexter as being the Bay Harbor Butcher or for his killing Matt and he would have known it. There was no link whatsoever. The Bay Harbor Butcher used Etorphine (M99) and dismembered his victims whereas here, someone (Dexter) used Ketamine and in neither of the recent two cases were dismembered bodies found. So where's the link? I'm even surprised Angela found the case on the Internet by using the word Ketamine. And why haven't the Iron Lake police department found any other "Ketamine cases" throughout the whole time Dexter lived there? Also, so what that they found the screw from Matt's body in Dexter's cabin ruins? Did they find Matt's body in the ruins as well? It proves nothing. Only that the screws are no longer in Matt's body but it certainly does not prove that Matt is no longer alive or that Dexter killed him. Dexter could have just gotten hold of it when compiling evidence on Kurt (and that's how he also found out about Kurt's hidden place where he stored his victims' bodies) which is why Kurt burned down his cabin or simply, as he said, Kurt planted it there to set him up. Last but not least, Angel wouldn't have suddenly believed a cop he knew for only a couple of hours over someone he had known for years just because he found out Dexter is alive. But, the writers had to end this somehow so they made the characters suddenly act in a very illogical way. I wasn't a fan of Season 8's ending but it made me more satisfied than this one and pretty much everybody in Season 8 acted as you expected them to.
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
Meaningless ish disguised as an epic movie (just like the previous 3 movies)
What can I say? If you don't have lots of time on your hands and you're looking for a movie to watch, just give this one a hard pass. If you don't know what to do with your free time, do the same.
The story is a meaningless piece of manure, the acting is subpar and the action is below the freezing point.
Hawkeye: So This Is Christmas? (2021)
Barely average and that's me being generous
This show missed the mark by a wide margin. As far as this episode goes, there wasn't anything in it that would keep me on the edge of my chair. Everything was boring, the characters acted illogically (the writers probably needed to create conflicts and action scenes in the show and couldn't think of anything believable or had tight deadlines) and the story overall did not bring anything special. This was also the first time I skipped through the end credit scene as it was garbage. The first two TV shows (WandaVision, Loki) were pretty good (mostly because of the writing and acting) but the last two were a huge disappointment and waste of my time (The Falcon and this). I hope the next Marvel shows are better although I'm already sensing some Hollywood wokeism coming up and likely with no strong screenplay attached (just like in The Falcon) but we'll see (Ms Marvel, She-Hulk,...).
Hawkeye: Ronin (2021)
OK but nothing spectacular
The first half was just boring talking (they tried to make the conversation between Kate and Yelena funny but it was forced and awkward - I, especially, hated the fake Russian accent that Americans like to put in their movies). In the second half, the only interesting part for me was the fight between Ronin and Echo including the revelation about her father's murder (even in the comics she went after Kingpin after she found out that he was behind her father's murder) and also the introduction of Vincent as Kingpin.
Sex Education: Episode 8 (2021)
The weakest (or wokest) season so far
Yeah, I know that this show was created to also make people insensitive to lots of degenerate things and indoctrinate our youth but at least it was funny and there was some good story too. Now, it even added pushing women toward career (so that in the end they end up unhappy) and other agendas. Less fun, less interesting story. The second season ended up with a cliffhanger that made me google up when the third season would likely be aired. This one ended in such a boring way that I really don't care when and if the fourth one airs but to each their own.
Lucifer: Partners 'Til the End (2021)
The weakest season
Undoubtedly, the weakest season. A daughter time traveling? Don't be ridiculous! I had enough of that in The Flash and both were equally unpleasant experiences and both actresses managed to be really annoying to watch. I had to fast-forward through many parts in this season (mostly the woke trash) and found many parts dull and making no sense. Anyway, thank you for creating this show. If I ever watch it again, I will watch all seasons except for this one but to each their own.
