Expend4bles (2023)
Now I understand the lack of advertising
They quality of expendables it was already down in 3th but man, this one is a bigger low.
Boring, terrible CGI, the majority of the cast look its doing a favour being there.
This movie is so bad that I doubt if we are getting a 5th.
I don't know if dialogues were written by IA, or if they only did one take for every scene, since every actor looks like they are reading the script by the first time (no emotions).
The movie only focus on Jason Statham on action scene that takes all value of expendables that it was having a team of old/new action actors together.
Waste of good actors. Only thing good its short.
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Clichêtar: the water chapter
Seing people rating this movie bigger than 5 proves that visuals are the only thing that matters for some people. Or this was the first movie they saw.
Visual there is nothing that anybody can say. The movie is a leap in CGI compare with the last one and years apart from any other movie.
The problem is the rest. James Cameron spends soo much time showing the world that you get in love or you want to leave (I'm in the second group). The dialogue was write using every cliché in cinema, and every action is drive by the stupid actions of the same character.
3h15 is too much for a movie that probably could be cut in 1h. None of the new character is better that previous movie and the old ones are there only for actions scenes.
Go to cinema for the visuals but drink a strong coffee before.
Interceptor (2022)
Dumb action movie
This is a really really dumb action movie that you need to ignore all logic to watch it. Some good fights but a lot of Netflix politic views in there too.
Put in background if you don't have anything more to watch or good for a better action movie.
The Big Leap (2021)
And Fox does it again, destroying good new shows ....
This is one more example that good shows cant air on FOX, amazing arcs and moments.
The acting is so good, makes you laugh, cry and other feelings.....
But no, FOX had to cancel after only one season leaving the watchers crying for a season 2.
Nick, Monica, Justin, Gaby and the cast were amazing, even smaller roles had they time to shine.
Bel-Air: Canvass (2022)
I'm out
I tried give this show a change. But this episode piss me off.
The good think that old one did well was:
Will represent the "hood", but naive and full of dreams. Carlton the upper class, without any touch about real problems but with good hearth and Hillary the rich people that dont care about anything.
Uncle Phil and Vivian balance between two worlds and give a grown up perspective. And when Will crash and burn with schemes, they both were there to protect and teach the lesson (or they learn something).
This show seems that didn't get that, and throws themes (very important topics) in couple of lines like they are trivial conversations.
The target of this show seems to be GenZ that want a show confirming their point of views.
Bel-Air (2022)
Why use the Prince of Bel-Air name
Since the begging, this show decide to go for the most difficult path. Using one of the most famous shows from the 90s with a very charismatic cast and nowadays iconic characters (Will, Jazz, Carlton, Uncle Phil,...).
But for some reason, they decided to create instead a drama show with high doses of drama.
So why using a amazing show, that balanced so well the comedy with drama.
The show as individual has potential, but using the connection to Prince of Bel-Air as crutch, leaves a bad taste for old fan.
Moonfall (2022)
Emmerich at problems with steroids
When I saw the trailer I got interrest since Emmerich movies can be bad, they normally have fun destruction and original ideas.
But this movie puts show the biggest problems with Emmerich movies and it never deliver in a good destruction action scenes.
In terms of story, the idea is fun: moon is alien structure that is being attack by another alien creature that makes the moon move closer to earth putting the earth in danger.
The heroes are the typical Emmerich types: one nerd, one/two govermental in this case NASA that dont play by the rules, and a bunch of side caracthers that nobody cares.
And the last ones is when the problems really starts, after the main caracthers go to space, the movie focus a lot of run time in their familys trying to escape the destruction (typical Emmerich movie) but the acting, action and destruction is so bad and not interesting that makes the movie drags so much.
The ending is ok and like the indepence day trys to setup sequels that probably will never see daylight.
Black Widow (2021)
Black Widow - the editing mess
I'm really divide how to rate this movie.
For one part, it only serves to introduce Yelena to MCU and provide a movie to the Black Widow that should had being made 5 years ago after Civil War. All the main actors are pretty good with Florence Pugh and David Harbour stealing the majority of the scenes.
And the first act are pretty interesting.
In terms of Black Widow character, this movie could being made only with Yelena and works, only doing some small changes.
The end in Red room is rush and unsatisfactory, and Taskmaster is one more villain waste by MCU.
But the biggest problem is editing of this movie. 99% of every scene jump cut every 3 seconds, not only in action parts but in slow scenes for no reason.
MCU movies uses a lot jump cuts to try making the scenes more "fast and have more impact" and this needs to stop. Black Widow deserved a better movie long time ago.
F9 (2021)
This movie broke me
I don't mind dumb movies. I even enjoy the last Fast and Furious. But if they want to be a action movie with crazy stunts they need to drop the writing and melodrama in the level of a soap opera.
The movie drags so much in some parts about family and creating more backstory that nobody cares, not even the writers.
Mulan (2020)
Trying something new doesnt mean quality
I really try to like this movie, after the soulless last liveaction from Disney I had some hopes after the first news about being more adult.
But if this is result it's better to stick with a copy of the classic ones.
This movies fails in so many points that I will need 5000 to write everything, without counting the abuse of slow motion, CGI going from OK to terrible in scenes that could be cut.
None of caracteres will stick with you, and the major problem is boring.
Glad I didn't spent 30$ in Disney Premium access
Hubie Halloween (2020)
Adam Sandler rollercoaster
Adam Sandler movies are always hit or miss for me. This one is a big miss for me.
Adam Sandler returns to a dumb character that everybody hates except the pretty lady.
His "friends cast" are back and they are annoying.
If you like dumb Adam Sandler movie, you may probably like
The Walking Dead: World Beyond (2020)
Walking Dead syndrome Teenagers Edition
Walking Dead was big success, but seems that the writers have a template and don't like to create new things. The Fear of Walking Dead that was suppose to be about the first weeks of infection in matter of few episodes become similar to original WD with group trying to escape.
When they announced a series 10 years in future I become curious, but in less that episode they destroy all hope of having something interesting in the show, and return to same formula again now with teenagers.
And not only that, this one was the worst performance and writing.
First thing, the day the sky fell is stupid. In all WD people are infected with virus and after die they start transforming in to "Empties" (new stupid name for Walkers....), but none of that make the planes crash like in flash back and like was show in Fear the infection did produce immediately destruction.
Then we have a city that survive for 10 years with worst defense in WD history.
One subplot between the members of group that it's so stupid that made me laugh.
I will watch one more episode but probably drop after. Waste of time.
The New Mutants (2020)
The bigger sin of a movie can have it being bore
The movie have two great ideas, one it's having a mutant with power of creating your worst nightmares reality and use that to create a horror movie with that (similar to IT), the other one it's having a group o mutants that have done terrible things when they lost control of their powers and they need to be contain in a safe place (like we saw with Jean in XMEN movies).
But in some way they pick these two ideas and create one boring movie. The passing, the plot, the interactions between characters lack something that make you care, so you probably will start looking to the clock waiting for the end. And worst thing not even the actions in end looks interesting when everybody is using their power.
The movie is connect with the other movies (Logan and Apocalypse) but never makes big deal of that.
Ted Lasso (2020)
One of best surprises in 2020
When I first saw the trailer of Ted Lasso with Jason Sudeikis, it looked like a ok series to pass the time, but 4 episodes in and it's one of my favorites new series.
It's just a feel good show around a coach Ted Lasso that tries to improve the life of everybody around him, using life lessons and stories to get a middle tier Premier League together but at same time changing the owner of the club too.
The supportive cast is amazing and make Jason Sudeikis shine even more as this super hyperpositive nice person.
Hoping the show can keep this feeling and Apple renew for 2 season.
Project Power (2020)
Good a idea doesnt make a good film
After some pretty good movies, Netflix got a stinker. And taking in account the actores and the main ideia it's a shame to see this potencial being waste.
The idea of taking pill that release your internal power for limited time it's pretty interesting, but this movie is a mix of generic scripts put together.
The movie have to many subplots that you don't care, the action and CGI goes from average to pretty bad.
If this was a movie that you can get in discount bin probably I could bump the grade to 5 but taking in account the actores and plot idea I can't go higher that a 4.
The Tax Collector (2020)
Trailers hype, movie meh
This movie is a mix, starts with good idea following the tax collector for big boss Wizard that keeps peace between gangs, until new player appears and tries to take over.
If you felt any hype from the trailer you will be disappointed.
The movie is slow, never shows why every gang fear/respect them and the end its so stupid with a speech like they are good guys because "family"
It waste the best character and the action is horrible and in so little that it's a waste of time.
The Kissing Booth 2 (2020)
Sequel syndrome in worst way
This movie followed all troupes used in romantic sequels.
Having the main couple have a big fight (or fall apart) because the script demands. Check
New hot person enters and helps the main protagonist with something big and almost fell in love just for her to return to main character. Check
Every conflict is force and not natural even with secondary characters just to create drama. Check
In the end, you will feel that if you skip this one and start watching the kissing boot 3 you could had save some time.
Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist: Zoey's Extraordinary Dad (2020)
Amazing trip, this series deserve better rating
The final episode is amazing. He hits all the bases without being disrespectful with subject that been building up in all season.
This episode will probably make you cry (I cried like baby) and all the songs encapsulate perfectly with moment.
The cast is amazing and is shame that the series didn't got the spot light since the begging with strange marketing focus more in funny parts instead of adult matters that deals during all season.
