The System (2018)
It's just bad.
Where do these ratings come from? Just because there's white on black violence, some people rate this garbage 9 and 10/10? The movie's production and execution was amateurish at best and I'm sorry to say it, but the acting was just so bad. No offence to the actors, they might be wonderful people in their everyday lives, but their acting was subpar. Force fed white black drama/propaganda with no context or interesting scenes. The directing was hilariously bad. The score is forgettable and the moral lesson at the end of the movie feels like a 2nd grade poem that you can think of in a few minutes. Maybe it was a honest attempt to show a major American problem (I highly doubt it) , but they failed miserably. Do not waste your time.
The Mandalorian (2019)
What? How? Am I hallucinating?
This is beyond great. The atmosphere, the cinematography, the score are all on point. It is an original idea and it has been executed incredibly so far. I love it! Has an authentic Star Wars feeling, does a few but very smart things in terms of character development, and the overall presentation is magnificent. No over the top sequences, no over the top humor, and no shoehorned BS like the last couple of movies in the saga. Please, keep going in that direction. Thank you.
