Gen V: Welcome to the Monster Club (2023)
I think it was genius
Is that I never see the Cate thing coming, so that give a lot of extra points to the episode to me, and added to that they close it with that song "I got a spell on you", this was so cool.
Cate power for me is the most powerful than all, if she can touch proper person she can have anything she wants. By the age she already have she should know what is capable to do and not to be controlled by that.
Honestly i feel the episode too short, which means it catch me interested and not bored. The part of puppets was hilarious.
The only thing that I don't like is that I have to wait another week for the next episode.
Simulant (2023)
Why no another Bladerunner
I really like the movie. Who say you cannot tell another Bladerunner like story. I like everything only two issues....spoilers ahead I guess:
The environment is ok, 100 years ago the environment was almost the same thing. There are always old cars but also brand new and probably something super-modern, could give more realism. Buildings, cities and neighborhoods doesn't tend to change too much.
The only thing that make no sense to me: the guy killing his wife. He is suppose to be an exact copy of the guy, even emotions like love. A person in love will never never kill his love like that even if she treat him that way. But is just my opinion. Is a good movie.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Alloyed (2022)
What's it doing?! Stupid, fat hobbit! You ruins it!
What was this boring mess! You understood all wrong (directed this to the writers).
What I understood from the books is that SAURON THE RING OF POWER!, the rings for the elves, dwarfs and humans was for easy control them with the ring of POWER!!!! That's why it is called like that!!!
It suppose to be forged in MORDOR. Here! Learn to read!! "Sauron left for Mordor and forged the One Ring, a master ring to control all the others, in the fires of Mount Doom".
And you also could read: "When the One Ring was made using the Black Speech, the Elves immediately became aware of Sauron's true motive to control the other Rings."
You understood all wrong and also as usual, it was boring and filled with cliches.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Udûn (2022)
Exciting episode despite some mistakes.
Special effects, photography, makeup and costume as usual was beautiful and amazing.
I love the elf Arondir, with his skill in battle and some tactics. And this time we had no too much dialogues that is not bad but has been too much sometimes. For the next season I hope directors listen to us and avoid so many silly cliches.
Some of the errors I mention in the title
(Spoilers alert!!!)
The strategy of leaving the tower alone was nice, but is kind of weird they get back to the town and no orcs was found there. Previous episode was shown all the land was infected right? That was silly.
Galadriel chasing the Aldar was doing right until Halbrand magically shows it self far below them that was really stupid and for me almost ruin the entire episode (I mean he was a very long distance behind Galadriel and suddenly he run faster than both and appears forward them).
The broken cursed sword also was handled wrong. A weapon (or key) so dangerous was not check before by Galadiel or Halbrand when they took it from Aldar? I mean, to be inside that rag? Please!!!
The elf Arondir fighting that giant orc, it was nice until the cliche of the love interest appears and save him with a single stroke. The fight choreography was impressive until it was ruin by that silly cliche.
Looks like I didn't enjoy the episode, I did it, it was almost ruined but was fine. I was happy that people rated as more than 8.
Black Summer (2019)
This is a good zombie show!!!
If you are looking making sense of something, remember this is about zombies!! ZOMBIES!! I mean I bet we all well know once somebody is dead means dead! Just sit with your favorite snacks and enjoy.
I do not recommend pop-corn, you will have it all in the floor soon as you start watching this show! Its just amazing!
If you want boring never ending drama, go watch Walking Dead, this is pure tension and electricity.
I hope directors read all positive reviews and want to make season 3.
Finally:
Acting excellent all! Edition is perfect, picture is breathtaking and even writers are good! Don't listen criticisms about people doing dumb things: Fear, hungry, cold, fatigue make people do stupid things so is OK they forget to close the door behind, or miss head shooting that zombie coming full speed a few steps from you, I bet none of the reviewers or readers here is able to hit the head!
Excellent work!
Against the Ice (2022)
Exactly what I need today!
I love every minute! Beautiful photography and landscapes. The story is amazing. The acting from each actor is also perfect. I could feel the cold, hungry, fear and relief. Good work!
The Legend of Vox Machina (2022)
Something different!
The story is nice, I like the adult profile that to my criteria give some realism to the fantasy. The parody in the very intro of the show is funny and screams: this is not yet another LOTR tale, and also warn you about the graphic nature of the story.
By the way the story is at the end something you expect in a fantasy show, I mean is not bad is something you expect and likes in this kind of shows.
The drawings and scenarios are outstanding and beautiful, the characters also looks so cool and some has original powers, however as I'm very used to anime, I found the animation little rude or rigid. Some action scenes are just impressive but some simple scenes like people walking remind me old bad cartoons from my youth.
I general I like it but I was expecting better relationships between the characters.
The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 1: Stranger in a Strange Land (2021)
Sorry bitter sweet flavor to me
Thank you for showing the way Boba Fett escapes from the sarlac, I'm sure all old Boba fans like me was happy this happens.
I don't like this:
1. Boba Fett learning to fight again? Really? The only bounty hunter capable of capturing Han Solo and mighty Chewbacca!!!!
2. A real leader doesn't needs to say "I'm the new leader". The Boba I know, knows how to gain respect and is not asking for it.
3. The street fight was lame.
Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
Indeed dark fate for terminator.
Skynet should send a terminator on the writers of this movie. Nothing make sense!!! Since the very beginning of the movie this make no sense.
I doesn't even deserve to be pirated! Waste of bandwidth to download.
Don't bother.
Doctor Sleep (2019)
I don't like it
Since the very first minutes I hate it. I didn't feel any relation with the original movie or story, is totally a different thing. The most resemblance of scare are the re-fried ghosts from the original movie. Why more than 7 points?
Mortal Kombat (2021)
I feel I just saw the right movie for this video game
Mortal Kombat game always had interesting stories and characters that deserves a good movie and I think they did it with this one.
Not too happy with the new character, I mean, is a totally new character only for the movie is not from any of the 11 games where you can find a good bunch of characters. For example I would prefer to see Johnny Cage, or Striker for the good guys rather than a new guy, but also I think is a good idea to have a new character in the future video games, so I can live with this one.
Try to see it in theaters so they earn enough for the sequel, I think they did a good work with this one.
The Mandalorian (2019)
Finally! stop permanent dissapointment!
Disney is doing millions with new "Star Wars" (notice the quotes), this means nothing about doing the right thing, not all is only about money. I'm not an expert in movie-making but I'm a true Star Wars fan, so I know that if they want something that endures, something that make the fans watch it again and again, they should throw all previous crap (I bet nobody will missing it, not me) after Return of the Jedi and do it all again with Jon Favreau and his team...I mean, just do all what he said, he is a TRUE fan that understand how is Star Wars.
This show is excelent and can't wait for the second season!!!
Mortal Engines (2018)
As usual, visually stunning but...
I'm sorry but the plot is a mess. About the ending (no worry this is not a spoiler), people still remembers Star Wars so please!!!
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
A lot of dinosaurs and cliches
Boring, repeated story. Plot very similar to Jurassic Park 3 and not sure which one is the worst.
I don't understand why so high qualification, I set initially 3 stars but I will low it to 1 because I want to try to low average.
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
Disaster
I'm original fan of the original trilogy. To many of us at the age of 12, we saw Star Wars and we was amazed. I'm sorry but this is a disaster.
Logan (2017)
Boring disappointing tired to see Wolverine powerless
Not much to say. I just want to see Wolverine kicking buts. I guess I'm too old now and I'm tired to see all my cool stuff from my youth dead or deformed. I'm glad that I didn't spend a dime in this crap.
Ghost in the Shell (2017)
Visually sunning but lost the essence
I'm impressed with visual effects, scenarios, acting. I think Scarlet is a good choice for the role, I know she is not Japanese but for the color and shape of the eyes of the original character I don't see the problem (about the white washing controversy) although I prefer an actor not so famous.
Also I want to praise some iconic scenes from the original anime that it looks like they trace with magnifier. It was a beautiful work! The only thing that I regret a lot is the ending. They remove all the essence of the original story. The message is OK but I think they lost the path the main idea. I think is not fair to said this move has no soul or ghost, is just that is not the original ghost is not the original ghost in the shell.
The problem is that the original idea of the anime is just an outstanding concept but in the movie they just make it standard or boring plain.
I think the director or writers or both just didn't understand the original idea. So sad.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008)
I hate it!
I give at least 2 points for the story, but I hate the intro so much that I can't feel any motivation to see some chapter of the series.
I start to see the first episode after the theater version and... again!! the awful intro!! like an old WW2 news!! What happens with the TRADITIONAL intro? going to the horizon? what happen with the director of that movie? has no any kind of respect to the Star Wars matter? I just refuse to see any other chapter of this series, prefer the initial made in rude cartoons at least they had some respect and love to Star Wars standards.
I hope they don't give the other TV series to the team that direct this one.
