The Suicide Squad (2021)
Amazing, but not perfect
Despite some act 3 problems and not that good humor, it's easily one of the best comic book movies to date, all thanks to the amazing cast, stunning action and the 80s' war flick vibe.
Idi i smotri (1985)
It's not a Russian movie
Hey guys, I just notice that many say that it's A Russian movie, but I'd like to make it clear that this movie is not Russian, it's Belarusian, it's a bit different. The story is about the genocide in Belarus, written by Belarusian authors, Directed by a Belarusian filmmaker, Production studio - Belarusfilm. Just wanted to make it clear that Russians won't be able to do a war movie as detailed and accurate as this one, 'cause Russians have a totally different experience about the war. I'm a Belarusian myself, and nobody but us can show the true horrors of the war (literally 1/4 of population slaughtered). Have a nice day :)
Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2018)
Let's give it a credit, THE ANIMATION IS SUPERB
I'm not a fan of this version of the turtles. Episodes are subdivided into two mediocre subplots, sole characters are too cartoonish and unlikeable, but man the show has something that None of the previous incarnations ever had: incredible style and animation. Cheesus, the animation is too-tier, anime heavy influenced, and that's awesome! The fights are so smooth and gorgeous, it does feel like an anime (in a good way, it's fun to watch), and the final battle... You must watch the final episodes guys, they're definitely worth it. Give it a chance, it can still entertain you.
Dota: Dragon's Blood (2021)
Non canon.
The shopkeeper is not voiced by Gabe - 1/10, waste of time, worst animated show.
The Walking Dead (2010)
It used to be great.
One of the greatest and most expensive shows of the 21st century. Great casting, costumes and setting - it was the definition of COOL, along with GoT. The plot was not dragging and It felt like a good adventure with horror and philosophical debate. It had the guts to kill off major characters when we didn't expect, and it was awesome!!!! It actually made sense. Then season 6 came out. Well, the writers focused on individual adventures of the characters, and it was quite a success, so they decided to stick with the scheme (take it into account that the original comic book was not yet finished, so they had to slow down). Episodes turned into visual novels focusing on certain characters, it felt artsy and a bit boring as they wanted to extend a 20-minute story to 50!! With season 8 it became a mess with incoherent plot and characters that stopped dying (though they should have long ago). The new showrunner almost nailed it to take the show back on track in season 9 and it seemed like we were about to get a cool adaptation of a cool arc, but boy oh boy... Season 10, part 2. What a piece of filler. The individual stories became too long and shallow, having nothing to tell the audience, no philosophical debate or lesson to learn, just a bunch of Dialogues in a low-budget setting. The show used to be cool, now it's cheap after losing all the characters that made the show watchable and nobody to die. I love the first seasons, and I'll watch seasons 10-11 to pay respects to the show that used to be one of the greatest. What a waste of potential and money, AMC.
Hagane no renkinjutsushi: Renkinjutsu-shi no kunô (2009)
It's good, but not perfect.
I know what I'm saying: we have a 20-minute episode to know Nina and then lose her. The episode is so fast (sometimes even rushed) that new audience can't really like her as much as she deserves. My family watched the episode (which is supposed to be a tearjerker), but no one cried because they didn't get into the characters properly. Let's be honest, it's not their fault. It's the fault of the writers who decided that making the story so short would be a good idea. In the original 2003 show we had 2! Episodes to get involved, and the revelation was devastating indeed. Verdict: watch the original show first if you want to fully realize how tragic and emotional this arc is.
Klaus (2019)
Better than Toy story 4
The real Best animated feature 2019, and you know that.
Legends of Tomorrow (2016)
The best DC show on CW
Okay, when I saw the first episode back in 2016 I thought Hm, another CW superhero drama show, but now with time travel and characters nobody cares about. I watched the first two seasons having no expectations, and then I saw season 3. With Zari and Darkh coming aboard the show changes, it gets more bizarre and self aware, and writers understand what people need - so they deliver us 40 entertaining minutes of character development, pop culture references and sheer fun. It was amazing, but then season 4 came out and blew my mind away. It was even more creative and bizarre, I felt that the legends are my family now, I felt like I'm part of the team. The characters were so real and likeable, they still are. Meanwhile, arrow and flash turned into Meh, and BL and Batwoman... We're BL and Batwoman. There was literally no DC show on CW better than Legends. Season 5 was one of the best shows in 2019, not just comparing to other CW shows. What originally started as a mess now turned into a beloved sci-fi show with its vibe of Surreal yet majestic story. I'll rewatch the show one day. My mom must watch it. Everyone must.
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
Thank you.
I'm just a fan of the snyder verse. I stood up for BvS and Man of steel, I loved the story and the characters, I had faith, but I was disappointed with Jossice League. I thought we lost a great universe because of greedy producers who dumped the original vision, and fans as well. But then you came, and stood up against the bosses and made this happen - you restored the vision. You did the impossible. I'm talking to You, fans, who made the snyder cut real. It wouldn't have happened without you. You are great, DC fans. I'm proud of being one of you. Thank you.
Tom and Jerry (2021)
Masterpiece
Wanted to watch Tom and Jerry, somehow got Justice league instead. Thank you HBO Max!!!
Oh... Right, Tom and jerry is not bad, funny slapstick, cutie girl, plot sucks. 5.5/10.
Death Note: Desu nôto: Chinmoku (2007)
Goodbye, Friend.
In short, L was sure till the end that light is Kira, he just couldn't figure out 2 things - how he kills and why he's doing this memory self-erasing thing. What's his goal? Now L knows How but doesn't know Why. He gets so desperate and goes up on the roof hearing the bells. He knows he's practically dead and light's won, and asking if light has ever been honest he's desperately asking why the hell light's doing this, why not just confess to L before killing him? But light is too dumb and arrogant, so he lies till the end only showing that he's Kira with his smile in front of dying L. Now L gets the confirmation that he was right all alone and now can rest in peace, because he knows that his legacy will be carried by others (Near and Mello) and Light will be dead or imprisoned soon. He deserved the rest. Still, the cops are as dumb as hell. L wants to check if the 13day rule is real and dies immediately, and they have never checked it themselves - convenient. They are waaaaaaaay too dumb. L died smiling because he knew he'll never see their dumb faces again (especially Matsuda's). Sorry. Still, tragic episode, love L, my mom likes Mello, but the plot sucks.
Death Note: Desu nôto: Fukkatsu (2007)
Light is a fool, but I'm glad he's back
You what's his plan? Convince everyone and even himself that he's not Kira to get back the note and kill L without being suspected that he's Kira. But he kills this new Kira in front of everyone just having touched the note and screaming and being weird. He's a genius - L used to only know that Light is Kira, but now... L still knows that Light is Kira and knows how exactly he kills people. The only thing that confuses him is Why the hell Light has made all this way? Why erasing memories? To get back the note and kill L? He didn't even bother to prove his innocence, everyone's just dumb. Sorry, but it's true. He's a boy who wants some attention and challenge. And I like it, that's why he fails in the end.
Aquaman (2018)
Thanks for review bombing because of Amber guys
The script and story are basic, the villains are not great enough, but Ocean master has some understandable motivation. This movie is cool for its visuals, Momoa and the feeling of a great adventure. Something Indiana Jones-Like. This movie doesn't deserve to be bombed because of a b**ch (P.S. i hate her too)
Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Siege of the North, Part 1 (2005)
Battles, sieges and waterbending
It was pretty cool to see finally firebenders attacking the water tribe, definitely one of the best battles in animation
All Hail King Julien: The End Is Here (2017)
I don't get why people didn't like this one
We had sorta conclusion sorta beginning of the madagascar franchise. It had its laughs, good ones tbh, and I felt satisfied for the character arc resolutions. The only thing that doesn't make it a good ending is the Madagascar movie, in which foosa attack the kingdom a day after Clover left. The only reasonable idea was to let the lemurs live happily while clover's gone, but nah. So, the connection between the show and the franchise is questionable, though I'd love to have Clover back in franchise in the 4th madagascar flick.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rogue in the House: Part 1 (2004)
Man, I miss this guy
The episode is debatably good, mainly all thanks to the soldier who was so loyal and willing to protect the turtles so I almost cried by the end of the episode. Wish they could resurrect him. But still it was an episode in which shredder began to feel like a side villain who can have his ass beaten so easily. From this point show began to degenerate his ominent figure, what a shame. Still they had some good ways to handle the character later, in season 3. But now shredder feels like a readytobepunched type of villain, disappointed. Still love the dynamic of turtles and the soldier, incredible and touching.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The King (2003)
A touching ode to the ones created this phenomenon
Gonna be honest, i was too young to understand who this kirby guy was, but as I grow older I realise that it's an ode to these wonderful guys who created the TMNT: Kevin and Peter. Two boys with a vivid imagination who have influenced several generations, and they still do. We still have debates on which turtle show is the best one (obviously, 2003, how could you doubt?), so that proves that they're still popular, relevant, and we will not forget them. They helped me to become who I am now, and it's all thanks to these guys, represented by one good man named Kirby. Thank you kirby for our childhood.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Notes from the Underground: Part 1 (2003)
Notes from the underground: a good family friendly horror flick
When I was young I was lucky to see this wonderful show, but in a mixed order. The first episode to have my eyes on was The underground episode of season 2. It was a marvelous adventure packed with good jokes, action sequences and creepy monsters. Loved it, desired to find some more episodes like that one, and guess what. I found this gem. 3 episodes of the same good underground. Appealing characters, laughable moments, stunning fight scenes, but the most important thing was the suspense. Oh god, meeting these monsters once again was quite a stress, they seemed so scary (to be honest, they still do), and all this mystery around the city under the city, and the first minutes of the episode 3... God, when characters were taken one buy one I was on the edge of my seat shaking in awe. Perfect family friendly horror story with a happy ending and a sequel to come. Brilliant, just brilliant.
Community: Intro to Felt Surrogacy (2013)
Not sure about this one
Puppet episode sounds cool, but characters and the plot are so rushed, it doesn't feel natural. Still it had some drama, good jokes and bittersweetness, but the tempo spoiled everything that could make the episode feel like a standard s1-3 one.
Naruto: Shippûden: Kaerubeki basho (2009)
Brilliance of being self-contained
Just finished the arc. It's not as important as the others, but as a self-contained story it's incredible. It had the feelings, it had great characters. I don't understand why people hate it, it deserves some appreciation.
Smeshariki: Lili (2004)
Murray Gold stole the score
The episode is pretty engaging though I couldn't get the message when I was young (actually I still can't - maybe it's about trust and you shouldn't trust some random people and random things). But the point is that the episode introduced "the Lily theme", which was later used in lots of other episodes. It became part of my childhood and will always remember it. So recently I've rewatched doctor who series 5 and guess what??? The mad man with a box + the sad man with a box have the same notes. I was like What??? They're really similar, what have you done, murray???? But anyways thanks Murray, you made a wonderful score even more wonderful (and longer)
Smeshariki: Anonim (2007)
The creepiest one
I watched the episode when I was 9, and it really made me feel scared as if someone could easily kidnap me, but still the episode was really cool because it had the mystery vibe, and the last minute action was encouraging and engaging, I felt like I was part of the story. Brilliantly crafted, directed and animated. Plus some incredible and melancholic thoughts about age and loneliness. Kudos.
Hagane no renkinjutsushi: Hagane no renkinjutsushi (2009)
A good season2episode1, A bad beginner
This episode is beautifully animated, the alley scene with Bradley and the black&white was incredible, and the score is perfect. Lapis philosophorum and Trisha's lullaby are the most beautiful Latin songs I've ever heard on TV. But the problem is that the show doesn't want to spend time explaining what alchemy is, explain the setting or the characters. It wants you to love the characters beforehand (watch original FMA y'all, it was great, though a bit poorly animated). But if you didn't watch the original show, you will not get anything. This episode is just a bunch of strangers doing some kind of magic (for people who haven't watched the original obviously). I personally did watch, and I loved this episode because I love the original, but yesterday I showed THIS to my mum (She likes anime, Guess she's a lady of culture:)). And you guess what - she didn't get anything, overloaded with information and characters, she already wanted to drop the show on the first episode, but luckily she liked the second one (but it was rushed too, again, original was better in character introduction). Overall, it's good for a fan, but cruel with new audience, and it won't get better, unfortunately. This show does as many things in 10 episodes as the original did in 20, and did them better, so if you Do want to enjoy The Fullmetal alchemist as an idea, philosophy and just the best anime ever created, watch FMA 2003 first, and then come back to Brotherhood.
The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius: The Phantom of Retroland/My Son the Hamster (2002)
Scariest thing from childhood
I love the show, and the movie, and this episode was the first one to watch, and it was reaaaaally scary, the design of the phantom is creepy, the music and the atmosphere are perfect. Family-friendly horror, gonna rewatch it
Hagane no renkinjutsushi (2009)
FMA+FMA: Brotherhood - A perfect show
Though these 2 stories are totally different, they still have the same basis, and you should watch them together, as one show. I watched FMA first, it was a dark and realistic story with a beautiful score (Bratja is my favourite song, forever), but it was sometimes inconsistent and animation was... 2000-ish. But it did something incredible - it made me love the characters, love the setting and love the ending (of course it's dark and sad, but it makes the show unique). So, then I watched Brotherhood. I already knew the characters, FMA perfectly introduced them, as well as the whole setting and the laws of Alchemy, which was a Great advantage because Brotherhood was never about introduction and exposition (it wants you to know the original show). The show's too fast in the beginning, it doesn't give you enough time to care about the characters. But the rest of the show is just perfect - it has brilliant score (Lapis philosophorum and Trisha's lullaby are my favourite songs in Latin), perfect animation, and so much payoff. The last 15 episodes are like The return of the king - epic, emotional. So, both shows have some flaws, but they compensate each other's flaws and as a result we have the most beautiful animated story you'll ever see.
