The Firm (1993)
Modern media
Spoilers.......... I mean with how straightforward evil normal corporations are these days. If you told me oh this company got caught overbilling and working for the Mob I would just shrug and say that's all. I mean I thought it was going to be like Satanist or you know something evil.
Survivor: Good and Guilty (2022)
Australian survivor is leagues beyond this.
Its as if the child has outshone the parent. The cast from the last 2 seasons have no personality. I lose track of all these stupid gimmicks they have woven in. This and last season where shot back to back. Hopefully by next season they will have had time to reflect and make it more like Australian survivor. I could just not watch anymore episodes until the finally and probably work out exactly what happens. I could never do that with Australian survivor it had so many twist and turns. It also has player that want to be there. This survivor seems like just grabbed people randomly off the street.
The Expanse: Strange Dogs (2021)
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
This once amazing show is a shadow of its former self. This episode is filled with over melodramatic writing, bad acting, and absolutely terrible pacing. This show has become what this episode is, filler. Just a filler episode about nothing that actually matters. Characters spend more time banging at things and telling us what we are seeing already on screen. This trend of trying to be episodic with the release schedule doesn't work. Unfortunately this show looks like it got canceled one season to late. Now it can die the same death of Game of Thrones.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
I can't wait for the Orville to come back.
I mean where to start with this show. Star Trek has a history of the first 2 seasons being rocky. This is just bad in so many ways. The writing, the acting, directing, even the cinematography is bad. Set design is way too dark and the costumes and makeup are even odd and look uncomfortable. I guess the cgi is ok. It seems like someone at corporate gave them a checklist of things that they think the audience would like. Then the writers just put those down on paper and all congratulate themselves on being clever. I can't think of a comparison because usually when something is this bad it doesn't make it past one season. I guess the last season of Game of Thrones is most comparable show. It's just so bad on so many levels I honestly have no clue how they keep getting funded for more seasons.
Dune: Part One (2021)
Show vs tell
I don't understand who this movie was made for. People that are unfamiliar with the books will surely be confused about everything going on. People that are familiar with the books will notice all the things they left out. When it tries to show you what is going on its showing nothing relevant. Then when it tried to tell you it just simply tells you either what is happening or has happened on screen. It barely scratches the service of Dune lore. The characters are also just a paper thin synopsis of who they actually are. The art department on this movie did an amazing job. So good it seems they just let them make the whole movie with a 30 minute script. The made for TV mini series was better then this. The best thing I can say about this movie is it shows us that it needs to be a TV series and not a movie.
Masters of the Universe: Revelation (2021)
Even if it was called MotU Teela's quest.......
It wouldn't make a difference. When I first saw the trailers I was hoping for Invincible or maybe Castlevania. Instead it's just a poorly written and acted show. Forget about the obvious bait and switch and the super obvious pandering. It fails on all levels. The story is poorly written and dragged out. They managed to stretch out maybe 2 episodes into 5. It's also just so tame. I've seen shows targeted for kids with more dramatic depth. This was billed as an adult show. The creator stressed that it was so "metal" and the original title was the End of the Universe. Which thinking about that name they might have been right. This might actually be the end of the MotU because it's so bad. The voice acting is also poor. I mean Mark Hamill was just phoning it in. He was just doing his Joker voice and nothing original for Skeletor. The rest of them sound like they don't even want to be there. Also why only 5 episodes? No service orders something like this to air for only 5 episodes. It costs a lot to develop and animate a show like this. I'm guessing Netflix saw the episodes before animation and where just like air it and cancel it as fast as you can. So we have a bad script, poor dialog, no effort from the voice cast, and poor directing for the actors. Even disregarding the politics of the show. If this didn't have Masters of the Universe in the name and He-man in the trailer no one would watch this. It would just be some lame cartoon that most likely wouldn't have aired on any service.
