Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Expected Something Better
The writing and script were bad, the villains were meh, the movie score did not match the tone, and the acting was ok at best. The only good scene in the movie was the first one before the title sequence, so I'd recommend watching the first 15 minutes and then turning it off. For a 2 and a half hour movie you would think they would have time to explain scene transitions, but multiple times I was left disoriented. The movie felt more like a poorly made romantic drama than an action movie.
The Lion King (2019)
Entertaining, but won't watch again
This remake was OK. Understandably so, the CGI artists were limited by what they could do with animals and their faces. Since there was no easy way to convey emotion through facial expression, it had to fall of the vocal tonage of the actors, but sadly many of the scenes just felt emotionless and the voice acting didn't feel or look right at parts. It's just not a movie that works well with hyper-realism.
The first half of the movie is pretty cringey as the voice actor for Simba did not do a good job of conveying emotion. He often stressed the wrong words which made for awkward transitions and made Simba seem like an entitled brat.
The second half was completely saved by Seth Rogan. Thankfully. But even then, Beyoncé needed to CHILL with the riffing in the songs. The constant riffing felt like she was trying too hard and changing the songs to make them worse, not better. I get that that's her thing and she may feel creative freedom, but the songs were not composed to be sung with that style.
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
Poor storytelling
D&D did an injustice to the amazing actors and rest of the crew that worked on this show. This show used to envoke emotion and creative discussion, but now I couldn't care less about the show. The ending and entirety of season 8 was inconsistent with the characters. Tension and foreshadowing that had been built up since season 1 was simply thrown away.
There were so many ways that D&D could have ended the show that the audience would have been okay with that still would have been shocking and something we did not expect, but the writing seemed careless, rushed, and lazy. Very disappointing and sad. The writers should be ashamed of themselves.
Darkness Rising (2017)
Absolute Garbage
This movie was so bad it was funny. I have not rated or reviewed a single movie until this piece of hot trash compelled me to take out my laptop and write this. I feel bad for the actors in this movie because they probably will not be able to find work if any agent views this.
The acting was terrible. The movie jumped all over the place. The main guy 'Jake' just screamed swear words the entire time. I feel robbed of my valuable time. Please, PLEASE do not watch this movie.
