Clerks III (2022)
Dante deserved better (meh, kinda spoilerish)
It is a good movie. But I'm so disappointed with the direction Kevin took this franchise. I had a friendship form with the love of Clerks II. Unfortunately I lost that friend to heroin and he would be rolling in his grave if he saw this film. You will cry if your a fan of the franchise. But also as a fan of the franchise it will piss you off to your core when you see what Kevin did to Dante. There are some good aspects to it, like seeing how they actually filmed the first clerks I mean that's kind of cool. But if you didn't know most of that stuff already then you were probably never really a fan. Still wish they could've ended on a lighter note.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)
Needs work
Dont trust the bot votes praising this show. Nothing is that perfect. First they needs to drop Ortega and Singh. Those two are the most unlikable people on the show. Everytime their mouths open my ears close and my mind drifts. Secondly they need to hire an onset Naval technical advisor. If they already have one, they need to be fired and replaced, immediately. Ive never seen so much back talk and insubordination in my life and absolutely no one is disciplined for it. Before they even film season two the entire cast should be forced to watch TOS then TNG in its entirety because it's clear no one onset has watched it. Every Trek has a shaky first season, at this point its a right of passage. TNG didn't "git gud" til season 3. Drop the identity politics or else it's going to be another Discovery. Also with SNW I was hoping that we would actually see some "Strange New Worlds" its in the title you know.. Considering everytime, in every other Trek the Enterprise went to a new planet it would strangely look like California...
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
People giving this 10/10, did we see the same movie.
This movie is NOT flawless. And it is not a full 10/10 movie either. Let's be real. This movie had no business being made. "It wasn't planned or orchestrated. It was just something that needed to happen for me to grieve" -Lana W.
So even by the director's own admission the movie wasn't supposed to happen at all. And it shows in the acting and script. There were several "wait what??" moments in this film. And not like "whoa, makes you think" kinda moment. I mean like "why is this happening? Huh oh we're done with this scene now? Oh okay." This movie is too slow in the beginning. It takes waay too long to get going. They could only get a handful of actors back probably because the rest thought the script was lacking or felt the movie wasn't necessary. The whole thing with Morpheus is just confusing and ham-fisted. I also believe Fishburne was asked to reprise his role and turned the script down, the only reason he wouldn't have been approached is if there was bad blood on the set of the last films. And anyone who believes Lawrence Fishburne was not approached is either a child or incredibly naive, just like the same people who rated this movie a 10/10. Pretty sure almost all 4K of them are bots/children or friends of Lana W.
Lord, I hope this is the end of the matrix once and for all. I'm sure this review will be hate bombed by the masses but w/e I never post on here anyways. That being said I will say some nice things. Some of the plot aspects are cool and well thought out but I really thought they were going to take it with Neo taking over as 'the architect' and recreating the world as he wants. With him becoming the bad guy and ruling the world around him. Which is pretty common trope used in a lot of movies today, so I was surprised to see they didn't take it in that direction. Would this movie have been any better with the original actors reprising their roles? Maybe alittle bit but not much more. Again, this movie didn't need to happen. It only happened because the director wanted it to so she could grieve.
Hagane no renkinjutsushi (2017)
Somepeople just want to watch the world burn.
If you watched the anime as a kid, you won't be disapponted.
For added effect watch in Japanese with subtitles. Much better then the horrible dubbing..
