Mysteries of the Giants (2018–2019)

Get rid of animals and human acting

[4/10 · 5 November 2022]

This series is about giant pre-historic animals which are not living anymore.

What I really hate on this is "acting", so there are 3D animals and humans which act together to present some kind of story. OK they wanted to illustrate a prehistoric animal so they created a 3D model, but when they had a model, they decided to make a story which is pure fiction and not important and not interesting at all.

I had to skip those 3D model acting parts.

Explaining how those animals lived and comparing them to currently living animals is interesting.

I have seen just the first episode, but as of animals acting I had a very negative feeling from that.

Accepted (2006)

Unwatchable, bad jokes, not funny

[3/10 · 14 July 2022]

The main idea and maybe a whole story is good too (I have seen just first 30 minutes), but execution is very very bad. All main characters behave like an idiots (it does not work even as a parody for a "university student films"). Characters should be just "little bit different" in a way of thinking or how they do a regular things. Jokes are rude. Maybe US viewers consider that as a funny.

Love by Accident (2020 TV Movie)

Childy and bad acting

[3/10 · 13 July 2022]

Seen first 25 minutes of this film. It is too childy, like for people in a kindergarden. Background music just support that feeling. There are some "sad" things mentioned and this is not suitable for this kind of film.

Il était une forêt (2013)

Romantic documentary

[3/10 · 12 July 2022]

I don't like "romantic" kind of documents. I don't like this kind of computer graphics. I would prefer if there were some facts, for example:

• in which location are we
• which kind of trees we see
• how many trees we have
• how to save them
• what to do with that?

• is it possible to recycle a wood? For example broken wooden chair or table, with recycling I do not mean "burning" to make a heat.

Motherless Brooklyn (2019)

Long and boring

[4/10 · 4 July 2022]

This film has multiple issues:

• it is really long
• things which had to be explained in more details, are not explained
• things which are not needed to be there are there (which makes those two and half hours)
• it is boring, maybe they are trying to describe 1950's (or which ages it is), and maybe those ages was so slow.

Jarhead (2005)

Boring

[3/10 · 3 July 2022]

After seeing a 50 minutes of boring little training, personal attacks and simple life of a soldiers in a desert, I have not found it interesting to continue watching.

Concussion (2015)

Boring, slow and too long

[5/10 · 3 July 2022]

Boring film about weird american game and american way of living obsessed by earning a money. Maybe native American likes it. There is nothing special on finding of doctors, this is what we already know.

Was able to watch for about 90 minutes. It is really slow and boring and two hours long.

Farewell to the Night (2019)

No more of this topic

[5/10 · 3 July 2022]

I have seen about 35 minutes of this film. The film is not bad, but I didn't wanted to continue watching. I don't want to see this topic anymore as I've seen that multiple times.

I don't understand why non-native citizens always decide to fix their problem this way. I guess, if I'm not satisfied in a country where I live, I can still relocate to different country which suits a better to my way of living, in this case it can be for example Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan or any Arabic country.

Or is it related to high quality of living? I mean if you have enough food, you are healthy, you have your own house and money, then you start to think that your live does not satisfy you and you need to find a thing to focus to. So for example breaking public things, doing graffiti, think there are different kinds of people like a castes. Then you start to hate and fight against people who are in different "caste" or a social class.

We are not different people, all of us, we are the same.

Pain and Glory (2019)

Pain and boring

[3/10 · 2 July 2022]

I have seen the first 40 minutes and it was "pain" as is in the name of the film. Those 40 minutes was about uninteresting life of one person.

Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz does not bring anything special to the film or to the story.

There are interesting "colors in the film", for example kitchen.

4x4 (2019)

Cat and the mouse

[5/10 · 1 July 2022]

First 70 minutes of the film is very good, but then writers didn't know how to continue and how to conclude that.

The doctor come to the scene, then police.

Why doctor decided to burn himself, because as a doctor has access to more "user friendly" ways to kill himself. Yes doctor didn't plan that. He was playing a game like a cat with a mouse and miracle happen and mouse won.

Faith Under Fire (2018 TV Movie)

Regular day on a regular american school

[4/10 · 30 June 2022]

Watching that just because of the name 'Toni Braxton'. I have seen about first 50 minutes. It looks like that character of Toni Braxton had multiple opportunities to escape as attacker was in a different place or loading a gun. It look like that school building has only one exit and does not have windows on ground floor which can be use to escape from the building or school has a training which tells that they should lock a door and do not try to escape.

Valentine's Kiss (2015)

Long a boring

[3/10 · 30 June 2022]

I've seen just first 20 minutes, I found it is not worth a time spend watching that (3 and 1/2 hour). Maybe book is better but TV adaptation should be dynamic. If film is good you are happy to see more episodes (or longer film), but if not it is simple unwatchable.

Like a Cat on a Highway (2017)

It has a story but it is very boring

[4/10 · 30 June 2022]

It is hard to watch as it is really boring. I was watching that only because of interesting story and characters. I guess I shall not watch the second part.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

Watchable more than once

[7/10 · 28 June 2022]

It is little bit like The Fifth Element, there are so many creatures. It is too visually crowded with computer graphics, there are too many space fighting/action scenes. First hour of the film is little bit boring and it looks like more like a computer game than a film, but then when you finally see the story it became more interesting, there are few funny scenes too. It is definitely watchable more than once.

The Good Lie (2014)

Africans as a home kitten

[4/10 · 26 June 2022]

I've seen about 50 minutes. They were used to living on countryside, so why they are relocated to cities???

They can care about animals on farm, vegetables and anything what is related to natural way of living. It is miracle they speak English.

The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019)

Uninteresting

[3/10 · 20 June 2022]

This is another film with superheroes, super-skills, saving the world, fighting and bad guys. There is nothing special on it, it is just related to the world of Angry Birds. So there is Superman, Batman, Captain America and now Angry Birds.

Miami Bici (2020)

Uninteresting

[3/10 · 20 June 2022]

I was watching that for about 20 minutes and didn't know what it is about. It is boring, joke "My pen is blue" is not a joke. If you don't have what to watch, watch it, but if you have a 100 film to choose, rather choose something different.

The Lego Batman Movie (2017)

For fans of Batman

[2/10 · 17 June 2022]

Film only for fans of Batman, which I'm definitely not. Every scene in 5 minutes which I've seen looks like it relates to Batman film and only people who know it by heart can understand who it is about. So obsession by Batman is needed to watch this film.

It looks like stop animation made film with some explosion made by computer animations, which can be made with few children and mobile phones.

Quiz (2020)

Watchable for a once

[6/10 · 7 June 2022]

I do not agree with a decision of the court. Because this is the quiz and preparation for a quiz is allowed. So then just studying of encyclopedias should be denied too.

They should receive their million pounds and TV if they want should protect from this kind of "attack".

For example TV can separate audience of competitor, so only the presenter and the one competitor should be in the same room.

I guess other people should not wanted to be part of that TV show after that mess happen.

It was many years ago when "The Millionaire" was broadcasted in my country, I was not big fun of that, because it was so slow (in term of how many questions was asked). But I remember:

• the first few questions were related to pop-culture (as they already mentioned in the film), about some popular TV series or questions like "who is a girlfriend of who"
• these first questions are suitable for "ordinary people" so "Ask the audience" is the best option for that lifeline
• "ask the audience" of not suitable for a smart questions, because audience should not know the answer (or the right answer is lost in answers of other people)
• so just "50 to 50" and "call a friend" is suitable for higher rate questions
• The Millionaire kind of questions are not related to intelligence so we should not consider people who win as a smart and people who ends at the start as a dumb.

• The Millionaire is kind of show program, it is not a competition about smartness
• What I didn't know was that if you want to compete you need to call to a number with "a special cost", so that way TV get money for it (except an adverts)

107 Mothers (2021)

Boring as a film, not enought to act like documentary film

[4/10 · 6 June 2022]

The first two minutes of the film are unneeded and can be easily removed without any (negative) impact to the film.

I was able to watch it only for about 35 minutes, because it was boring. It is not a film which has a story and it is not a document which describe feelings of women and their everyday life. It would be really better to see this interesting topic as a documentary film without trying to make it as a "film".

Film was presented with subtitles, which is not bad at all, subtitles were white color, but background was too bright, so sometimes it was impossible to read them.

The Shift (I) (2020)

Slow, I was telling them: "Do something"

[4/10 · 14 May 2022]

I guess this film was secretly sponsored by electronic cigarettes companies as police officer - senior detective is smoking in-doors and all his colleagues are happy with that. I guess smoking indoor in banned everywhere.

The plot is slow, they have had many options to act differently to achieve what they wanted to achieve. Instead of that it is 80 minutes long.

Migration is normal. We have economic migration, political migration and religion migration too. Some people are not satisfied with a culture of country where they live.

They feel detached from the rest, they consider themselves as different, but they know there is a better place to live. But instead of moving to that better location (in a different country) which suits their culture better, they shout really loudly how bad they feel there.

My nationality is the same as country where I live (I'm native), so I can't understand what these kind of people feel. They have to assimilate, if they live where they live.

We have minorities which does not hurts anyone like LGBTIQ, sick people, elder people. Why "they" cannot live normally?

After (I) (2019)

Smoking inside rooms ???

[4/10 · 27 March 2022]

High school, smoking inside rooms, drinking alcohol, cannabis, parties.

Sex between roommates while other roommate sleeps in the same room.

She see a "good looking tattooed bad guy" for a 5 minutes and she wants to kiss him, but she fight against herself as she has a boyfriend. Good looking bad guy became more and more interesting, she goes outside with him, goes swimming to a lake.

Josephine Langford is cute, she reminds me some other better knowing actress.

Bad, tatooed guy looks like really scarry.

Seen about first 40 minutes. Uninteresting...

Dangerous (III) (2021)

Watchable but expecting end

[5/10 · 19 March 2022]

First part of the movie is interesting. Second part is laughable and boring comedy. But I was able to watch that till the end.

There is unneeded cast like Famke Janssen and Mel Gibson which can be replaced by less known actors as their roles are really minor.

Secrets in the Woods (2020 TV Movie)

It is watchable, but just once.

[4/10 · 19 July 2021]

This could be a good thing, but it is not.

I like films with just a few actors, because then everything is just about a story and acting (and of course it is cheaper).

So, characters are not stupid, they do what should normal people do in a reality too, I think. Story is interesting.

But realization and final product is really bad. Does they give to watch that to some testing audience (for example their relatives) before they decided to release that?

Il Capitano Maria (2018)

Pain to watch because of the acting

[5/10 · 15 July 2021]

The story is interesting, it is dynamic, it is not boring. People sometimes act as really stupid. Some parts are like for 3-years old children.

The worst thing on that is really bad acting. I can't imagine how director could be satisfied with that.

But it is still watchable. Review based on 1-episode (from four).
