Good Omens (2019)
Season 2 killed the show
I am fan of David Tennant since his Doctor Who days so, even though I haven't read the book, I watched this show.
The first season is great (8/10). There is an amazing chemistry between Tennant and Sheen which makes you want to see more of the unorthodox partnership between Crowley and Aziraphale. The overall acting and humor is great.
I couldn't wait for the second season, but it was such a disappointment (1/10), because it has no plot and the quality dropped dramatically.
The show suffers due to the fact that the partnership between the angel and the demon became a same sex romance and the side plot story (another same sex romance) is pointless. Also, the humor is bad. Many times I was extremely bored and I kept going only to see if there is any improvement. The only normal romance was at the very end and for a minute until they vanished...
Even though Gaiman said that angels and demons have no gender, the whole show tried to pass a different message and ofcourse lost the most important things that made it great: plot and humor.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023)
Legacy of nothing
What is: an amateur painter, a kindergarten teacher and a programmer? The "dream team" that will lead trained experienced agents around the globe in order to solve the mysteries and find the truth... I am not joking, this is the true summary of the series ...
The series suffers from a lot of things...
Firstly, it has two castings, the one in the present (2015) day and the other in the past (1950). The casting from the 50s is great but the casting of the present day (with the exception of Kurt Russell) is terrible, they have no chemistry, their acting is bad and they are annoying.
Secondly, the writing of the series is poor. The trained members of Monarch are goofy, the protagonists are always whining and their relationships are weird. Also, they solve the "mysteries" in a really dumb way and the logic that your father was genious, so you must have it in your blood, this is lazy writing...
Finally, the series is about an organization that encounters monsters and the monsters are having cameos at best...
This series is boring and it's not worth your time.
Doctor Who (2005)
The message killed Doctor Who
When the series started again, I was so excited and couldn't wait.
I suggest you watch only seasons 1-10.
The first season (2005): the Doctor is played by Christopher Eccleston, he was fantastic and it was a good season.
Season 2, 3, 4 (2006-2009): David Tennant came as the next Doctor and these 3 seasons are probably the best seasons of the series ever. Tennant is very talented and portayed the Doctor really good. Almost every episode is exciting. The showrunner and writer (mostly) of the first four seasons is Russell T. Davies.
Season 5, 6, 7 (2010-2013): with Matt Smith, are very good seasons, a bit step down from Tennant's but, to be honest, Tennant set the bar too high!
Season 8, 9, 10 (2014-2017): is Peter Capaldi the new Doctor and he was ok in general, the seasons were a little bit weak and boring but he had good moments.
From season 11, the series changed direction and it is focused more on passing "the message" than making quality episodes and after a point is unwatchable. Also, Chris Chibnall, the writer of season 12 episode 10, managed to completely destroy the canon of the show.
Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (2023)
Didn't worth the hype...
The movie "the seven samurai" has duration 90 minutes more than this one and for a reason... to proper introduce/present the characters, build relations, etc, so this movie feels too rushed because there was wasn't enough time to do that. Maybe in an extended cut this will be fixed but for now it's not good at all.
The writing of this movie is also bad, there is no chemistry between the characters, they created a robot with psychological issues and the bad guys are just bad without a purpose... The directing of the movie is ok but the classic Snyder's slow motion scenes are boring.
I like Butella but her acting wasn't persuasive and I don't think that she is a good fit for the role of the main protagonist.
I know that's a TV movie but the CGI is average at best and many times looked like it was from an early 00's video game.
To sum up, even though the director was inspired by the movie "the seven samurai" and he wanted to make "star wars" type movie, the result was similar to the "battle beyond the stars" (1980) ...
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023)
Waste of time...
If you are a transformers fan don't watch this movie (except if you have nothing better to do...) . It has almost the same plot with Transformers: The Last Knight but with different details...
There is a "trend" recently that we must watch great characters, full of optimism, broken... they did that in this movie to Optimus Prime (and this happened to Indiana Jones too).
At some point, Optimus Prime blames the 2 humans (who just met) for losing. After a while, comes a second defeat and gives up and ofcourse the unemployed-thief-ex soldier-electronic genius human gives a pep talk and organizes the strategy to fight the enemy (without the experience or the knowledge of how to fight this enemy...).
The fact that intelligent alien robots need the help of a human intern to analyze 5 symbols and search the internet is a joke....
Another joke is that Mirage fights Scourge and naturally he can't beat him but before he "shutdowns" he makes an "ironman" suit from his parts for the human and ofcourse the human can do a lot more damage...
Really who likes these stuff and pays people to write more ...?
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)
Finally, a serious/emotional phase 4 movie
Very emotional movie. It has the seriousness that Thor Love and Thunder didn't have.
The first act is pretty emotional, the second act is good but the third act is a little bit weak. Probably, it should have been a little shorter in duration and editted better. Ryan Coogler did his best under the circumstances.
Lettitia Wright and Angela Bassett are excellent. Winston's Duke role is limited. I have mixed feelings about ironheart and I didn't like the Midnight Angel armor of Okoye.
I love the different origin of Namor and the Talocans and I would like to see more in the future.
It is easily one of the best marvel movies.
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
Wasted opportunity...
This movie reminds me of Star Wars Episode 9: the Rise of Skywalker... it is possibly a franchise killer...
The direction of the movie was ok but the ideas were wrong. Also, It has way too much unnecessary scenes from the previous movies.
I really love the Matrix trilogy and I would like to see more movies in the future but this must be done with different director and not, unfortunately, with the Wachowskis.
Masters of the Universe: Revelation (2021)
Teela and the Masters of the universe...
The show is ok to watch but there are two big problems in my opinion:
1) that He-Man is not really the main protagonist, Teela is... and
2) Now, that part 2 is complete (no spoilers), I think that they should have kept more mystery in general and the ending fits more for series ending... I really don't know how part 3 will top that...
Eternals (2021)
Different but good
I really don't know why critics don't like this movie. OK, its not the classic Marvel movie but it adds depth to the whole marvel cinematic universe and its really enjoyable to watch. The visuals are really good, the jokes are fine but there are only 3 action scenes, which is no problem at all.
Mortal Kombat (2021)
Very good
Everything that I was expecting. A faithful adaptation, good cgi in general. The choreography was good and I hope that in future sequels all this will be improved.
Diablo II (2000)
The best arpg ever!!!
The combination of gothic style, great art and music, skills, itemization and very good story makes it, probably, the best game of its kind. Now, it comes remastered with better graphics than ever!!!
Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
We have a clear winner!!! but...
The movie is ok. There is an epic battle that we wanted for a long time but the human story is weak and a lot of things in the movie are justified ridiculously. Ofcourse, I didn't expect to watch a mindblowing story but...
Iron Fist (2017)
Missed opportunity
The second season is ok and improved compared to the first but, in general, the show suffers from bad writing and wrong casting of the main protagonist.
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
Finally, a good DCEU movie!!!
Even though I have issues with the directing of Zack Snyder (especially with BvS...), he did a pretty good job and there is no comparison to Whedon's Justice league. Now, I really hope to see his "vision" complete. Bravo Zack!!!!
The Office (2005)
The best sitcom ever!!!
I don't think that I laughed so much with any other sitcom ever. The series ends for me in season 7... so I suggest you to watch the first 7 seasons and the final episode of season 9, which is the series finalle (seasons 8 and 9 are bad...).
Futurama (1999)
The best animated series of its kind
This show is the best of its kind and in my opinion is far better than the Simpsons (which I love!). For some reason, it is underrated. The humor is great till the end where you will cry (I did...). I really pray for a miracle to happen and somehow, they give us, today, more seasons or short stories or at least more random episodes. You must watch it, if you like that kind of humor, because it's the comedy at its best!!!
Daredevil (2015)
Masterpiece!
Probably is the best super hero show!!! It has great story, the coolest one shot action scenes I've ever seen and the main villain is thrilling!!! Nothing more to say because you must watch it!!!
The Big Bang Theory (2007)
stopped to be funny at all
I suggest you to watch the first 5 seasons (and the final episode), after that the quality of the show drops so dramatically that its not even funny. Personally, I stopped watching it in the end of season 7.
Arrow (2012)
Only the first 2 seasons
The show is amazing but only for the first 2 seasons. After season 2, the quality drops dramatically and after season 5, you can't watch it... so my ratings are for the first 5 seasons...
The Flash (2014)
Why???
When I first saw the pilot episode of the Flash I was so excited and the show looked very promising. But now, after many years I really can't watch it. Even though the Flash has cool villains and interesting stories the show is too predictable, it repeats the same drama over and over and the quality of the show in general has been reduced dramatically... literally, every season is worst than the previous...
I believe that they should cancel and reboot the show, follow the example of Netflix with fewer episodes with better quality...
Also, they should get rid off that version of Iris...
Coming 2 America (2021)
Not funny at all
4 stars only for the nostalgia... the movie is not funny at all and is poorly written. If you manage to watch till the end you will be a true hero!!!
Groundhog Day (1993)
A true Masterpiece
I don't remember how many times I watched this movie. It is one of the best comedies ever with excellent analogy of humor and romance. Also, in my opinion, is probably the best movie of Bill Murray.
Kidou Senshi Gundam: Tekketsu no Orphans (2015)
A top 5 Gundam series
This is the first Gundam series I ever watched and since then I am huge Gundam fan ! It has everything: cool characters, awesome story, action, bittersweet ending and more... If you 've never watched Gundam before, you should start with this one and I believe that you won't regret it!
The Mandalorian: Chapter 16: The Rescue (2020)
This is the Way!!!
I will say only one thing (without spoilers): I watched some scenes more than 30 times and I think I can do this all day!!! This is the best thing happened during quarantine !!! Even though I have some issues with Peyton's Reed directing... this is the Star Wars we want!!!
