Reacher: Fly Boy (2024)
What a hell of disappointment
What happened to this show ? It became the usual modern nonsense, with the bad guys being dumb, it looks like they all went to the star wars school of shooting, can't hit anything nor win a fight, even though they are supposed to be "professionals" the special investigation unit were tougher and stronger that. Rambo and commando put together, they were untouchables, unbeatables, it got so boring to see these "superheroes" solve and kick everyone ass with no challenges at all. Season one was fantastic, it had scary and smart bad guys who were a top challenge to Reacher and his associates, in this season it's just superheroes with unlimited superpower and above the law.
Creed III (2023)
No Rocky, no party
Without Stallone, this film is flat, extremely slow pace, with a laughable villain and his motivation, this whole movie end up just being another Hollywood project trying to milk the cow one more time.
The music doesn't work, the final fight feel more a video game with poor CGI and the story ... I can see why Stallone choose not to be involved in this project, in the end they try to set up a future movie, with posible creed's daughter being the new champion but frankly that is a project most people wouldn't be interested in watching, bottom line the majority of people watch the creed movies for Rocky and the first two were good, specially the first, this third effort like I said without Stallone and his input end up flat.
Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)
Oh Disney, you keep doing it ....
Unnecessary show, with very bad writing, directing and story line, even the best characters and be destroy when the wrong people with the wrong intentions handle them.
The Paper Tigers (2020)
Entertaining and fun
It was refreshing to see nice old fashion fight scenes and chorography, unlike most movies now days that are full of CGI and over the top nonsense, the movie was fun to watch, interesting and likeable characters, I would recommend it.
Without Remorse (2021)
Total disappoinment!
What a way to destroy a good book, the material had so much potential to be a really good entertaining movie, unfortunately it wasn't.
Cobra Kai: December 19 (2021)
Beyond any expectations ( and mine were very high )
I am glad that there are still creative writers and producers who are allowed to express their vision and have a platform to do so, what a great show, in every aspect, they way they developed the characters, they way the bring the nostalgia the right way, the evolution of the characters to overcome their fears and demons, great episode, great show !
Mulan (2020)
Another classic Disney have destroyed
Just like the new star wars trilogy, Disney has managed to alter and destroyed its own legacy, in this mulan instead of the power of the force, they have the power of Chi and this mulan is the new Rey.
I prefer the animated version of the 90s ...
Pablo Escobar: El Patrón del Mal (2012)
Not made for the Hollywood/action fans
As a Colombian, this is one of the best adaptations of the events during that dark time in Colombia, according to Popeye ( one of Escobar's hitman) Andres Parra ( the actor who plays Escobar) was so convincing that he said that it sounds, walk and acted like the real Escobar.
This series is meant to show the pain of the victims, their suffering, the widows, orphans and all the people that suffered the insanity of one individual, unlike other Hollywood like productions where the glorify these criminals and made them look like they were heros or something cool to look up to. This might be the reason why some ignorant people might find it boring and not "enough action'
If you really want to know the details and dark consequences of Escobar, his associates and rivals this is the right series for you
The Vietnam War (2017)
A very well balance, informative and objective film about the Vietnam war
It was refreshing to see a documentary so objective, balance and informative about the Vietnam war, being able to see all the sides the sides of the conflict, gives a very unique touch to this amazing work, highly recommend.
