Doom Patrol (2019)
Something positive from the gawd awful DCU
DCU overall sucks donkey farts, yes the same ones. Awful shows and movies, and mostly terrible casting. Doom Patrol was finally something different and descent when it showed up. Mostly, I started watching it because April Bowlby was in it. I gave the first season a solid 8/10. As it went on, it kinda seemed to droop and become repetitive with emotion overall feel. It dropped to 6/10 for me. I did not feel a special build up to the ending, just the same grind as previous episodes. But still, I did like how each went out in their own way. Kind of a sweet ending, but fairly predictable. Overall, the show was refreshing, bold, and went where no other show has gone (literally a few times). It could have been better, but, that is just my opinion.
The Flash (2023)
16 minutes and I don't know why I am still watching this..
I have NEVER liked Ezra in anything. Why is he still cast? Never liked that awful actress they installed as Blunder Woman. The jokes so far are for 10 year old children. Oh gee, guess what...seems you needed to watch the tv series to understand what is what...I gave up on that after the first season. I only lasted through that because Danielle Panabaker was in it. 16 minutes, and I am confused who is playing Batman. This may be the ONLY reason I may still watch a bit more of this disaster. Oh, all the commenters complaining about bad CGI? So far well based. They are terrible. They must have slashed that budget to the bare minimum. There are plenty more things wrong so far in this movie..but it seems DC is set on making awful movies. What really puzzles me is that there are people actually going to see this carp. Why? Who are these people? I don't know anybody who went. That includes my two sons and their friends. And that is a pretty big crowd!
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
Did not work this time
First two movies were GREAT. Not this one. Very unimpressed. Where to start....ok, the music. This time practically all the songs blew chunks. Secondly, since he has not been back to Earth, how does he have songs that were made AFTER his abduction. And terrible ones at that.
Next, filler. Lots and lots of filler that just dragged the movie out. Long unimportant scenes that could have been cut in half without loosing anything.
The story itself...weak. Plus trying to tie in existing characters did not work so well. Trying too hard to fit everyone in, but not enough time for them to do anything that made the story better.
There are many things just just annoyed me. I was really looking forward to this instalment, and now I feel really let down. The ending did not leave me wanting to see another instalment if it going to be anything like this one...
Evidence of the Unexplained (2022)
and are they a threat?
"Authorities all over the world say UFOs are real, but what are they, and are they a threat?"
Are they a threat? Why make such a suggestion? Oh, because they have made so many attacks, abductions, chemtrails, etc.etc....
When a show describes itself in such a negative manner, I am left in despair because it is such speculative feces that has made people in the world so ridiculously ignorant and stupid. Sure, many are gullible, but whir throw gasoline on the fire. We already have too many orange faced hate mongers fanning the flames of fear and hatred. UFO's may be real. If they are intelligent (which they MUST be to build such crafts), do you really think they are here to stir the pot of our petty little problems?
I can not see this show being of any educational value. It will probably just feed into the fear of the stupid.
The Menu (2022)
Premise seemed promising...
Read the plot on IMDB, list of actors intrigued me. All seemed good. The start of the movie also promised some suspense and mystery....but as it goes on...it becomes bland. The twists and turns are more like mild twitches. Some ideas for surprise or whatever, just fell flat on it's face. I was bored by the end. The movie misses all critical points by having little to support for the actions and consequences in the movie. Things are kinda poorly explained and then written off, to be forgotten about. In the end, it became just a predictable bore. Too many elements and scenes in the movie were just not believable. You must be super gullible and dead inside to follow this tripe.
Great idea for a movie, delivery is actually like a bad taco from a dilapidated dirty truck.
The White Lotus (2021)
Does this actually go anywhere?
I could not make it through the first episode. Bland, dull, pointless....generic acting. Many comments here saying it is funny. I is as funny as your drunk mother falling on her face. Vanilla jokes, nothing original. Complete waste of time.
It is supposed to be about the guests? Well, they are totally cliché. I have only heard that people like that actually exist. Never met one. But I can also not picture those types of people going on such a vacation. Too far fetched. Is it trying to steal ideas from Fantasy Island? I personally did not like that show, but it was creative and had good talent. Unlike this stinker...
The Orville (2017)
season 3
Long awaited, and finally came. Though there is nothing specifically wrong ir bad, but it did lack the oomph overall. The general plot is fine, but this season it lacked action and more true adventure. Exploring the moral implications of a democratic society is fine, but for true Orville and Star Trek fans, it is moot. Is Macfarlane trying to teach RWNJ? Not gonna work. They can not be reasoned with, unlike Kaylon and Krill.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)
heck yeah! Now this is Star Trek
Good job after 2 eps. I like it. Disco can now die a quick, quiet, painless death.
I liked Enterprise when it came out. It had some faults, but it was ST to the core. SNW has a good story, great visuals, and a good cast.
They found a perfect guy to play Spock.
The Lost City (2022)
what a pair
Isn't Bullock like a hundred years older than Tatum? She is one of the most overrated actresses of all time. Limited talent, and the same in just about every role she plays. Liked her in Speed, and that is all. Tatum on the other hand does a fine job.
FBI: Most Wanted (2020)
from poor to, well, just as bad
Julian McMahon was not a good choice. Terrible in this role. And what's with the weirdo eyebrows, distracting and annoying. OK, so he got killed off...What do they do? Replace him with someone who is even worse. Dylan McDermott is a very limited talent character actor. He has about 3 different looks (that includes moods) and they all seem fake and forced. Never liked him in anything.
The rest of the cast is fine. Some of the stories are kinda weak, but still watchable. But now that Dylan McDermott is in it, the show will be much less enjoyable,
How the Nazis Lost the War (2021)
Questionable documentary
I started watching the first episode, but I quickly noticed detrimental errors. Molotov-Ribentrop pact was NOT signed May 3rd 1939, but actually August 23rd. Every Eastern European knows this date all too well. So do all governments. I have no idea what took place May 3rd. When the visual showed Germany and Russia invading Poland, the Baltic countries are clearly visible on the map, and are also included as the spoils for Stalin in the Pact. If this documentary makes such fundamental errors, I see no reason to continue watching it because I can not trust the producers and what they are trying to portray here. Just a slight reminder - The Multiverse does NOT actually exist.
The Endgame (2022)
It is like The Following, and just as bad
Everything mysteriously happens just in time. Cops do lousy jobs with paying attention to detail. Everything is pretty predictable. Soooo many evil operatives that follow orders to the letter. Nothing ever goes wrong for the villain.
This is EXACTLY like The Following and for those reasons I stopped watching. Just too many 'convenient' twists that pop out right in front of you. I did not check, but maybe it is the same writers for this show?
Deep Space (2016)
One tinfoil hat away from lala land
The usual unfounded heresay from the tin foil conspiracy crowd. Complete aste of time. There is more truth in Battlestar Galactica. How did they manage to get funding for 3 seasons.
Utopia Falls (2020)
exact opposite of The Hunger Games
Someone desperately is attempting to make this opposite to The Hunger Games in every aspect possible. Al it does is make it silly. And this awful and sick idea that a game show like 'Americas got (no) talent' becomes the socially guiding norm, well, that is just a serious mental breakdown in itself. Besides, these little surviving societies...so few people, yet they have all this advanced tech and no shortage of luxury items. Writers fall and sink in their own premise, leaving a show that is just not believable and/or entertaining. Perceived futures like this make mankind appear a lot more stupid than they actually are. A future no one would or could allow.
Peacemaker (2022)
DC just keeps disappointing
I kinda hope this might be good. Some good names involved. But alas, more DC dribble. Poor cliché juvenile jokes. Continuing the fecal disaster Suicide Squad was. Should of just turned it off when it opened with a Bollywood sequence for the titles....
MacGruber (2021)
Failed 'actor'
Failed 'actor' trying to extend a failed career with a marginally funny mock sketch. Who though this deserved a whole tv series should not be at the helm of programming and greenlighting shows.
Out of Time (2021)
Not bad at all
Low budget, and they did well with what they had. Story is good, but script could of used some help for continuity. A few dragged out scenes. Unheard of actors, but did a relatively descent job. Over all I did enjoy it. Some of the people involved may just have a descent future in movies.
Signs of a Psychopath (2020)
Not bad.
A little drawn out at times but fairly informative. Not too sure about those so called experts. I have a background in psychology, and they do not sound overly educated in their fields. Maybe even at a level of a tRUMP U. Graduate...
But that Dr. Chitra Raghvan- Woohoooo...
I'm a val ya know!
He was, like, freaking me out
He called me a beastie
That's 'cause, like
He was totally blitzed
He goes, like, bag your face!
I'm sure!
O, like
I go into this, like, salon place, y'know
And I wanted, like, to get my toenails done
And the lady, like, goes
"Oh, my god, your toenails are, like, so grody"
It was, like, really embarrassing
She's like
"Oh, my God, like, bag those toenails"
I'm like, "Sure"
She goes
"Uh, I don't know if I can handle this"
Y'know
I was like really embarrassed!!
It's like grody
Grody to the max
I'm sure
It's, like, really nauseating
Like, barf out
Gag me with a spoon!
Gross!
I am sure!
Totally!
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Gunn making sure MCU stays the best
Nothing so satisfying as helping destroy your competitors franchise. The first SS was terrible, this is no different. Maybe some hard up teeny boppers like this. The movie started awful and went quickly downhill from there. Gotta give it to DCEU to keep putting in some of the worst actors that are out there. Bad jokes, weak story, corny action scenes.....Two Hours and 12 minutes of my life totally wasted. Thank gawd I saw it for free, otherwise I would be mad.
Invincible (2021)
for adults?
When I noticed Seth Rogan's involvement, I understood my dismay. He is immature himself and has little concept of being an adult. Terrible actor, even worse producer etc. This cartoon is just another gory kid show. So many flaws and typical kid angst and drama. Animation is mediocre. Story slow and mostly predictable. Seth, being a child himself, seems to have a fixation about regurgitation...pathetic.
Army of the Dead (2021)
Another Zack Snyder disaster
Why are they greenlighting anything with Zack Snyder involved? Do they have money to throw away? A long time ago Snyder made a couple of ok movies. But most, and I do mean most, of his stuff is awful. Zack has singlehandedly destroyed DCEU. How can anyone still agree to fund nything for him?
Schmigadoon! (2021)
I am a bit too overqualified...
To enjoy this. Keegan is pretty good. Not exactly up to his usual level of excellence, but I blame the script and producers. Now, Cecily Strong was not funny and annoying on SNL, and she does that in abundance in this show. What a rally poor choice for that role. But I really came to this show for Kristin Chenoweth. Too bad she is relegated to a limited support role. Also, Fred Arminstead has never been funny either, and Martin Short's 'best before' date came and went decades ago. I can also never stress enough just how awful Jane Krakhouseky is in everything.
American Made (2017)
somewhat entertainig
But here is a spoiler for you - it is so far from the truth...so far, that they should no longer be able to claim 'based on...'
Oh, the movie is entertaining and worth watching. Especially with Cruise getting a punched out face. That alone is worth the price of admission!
Jupiter's Legacy (2021)
Bloated and uneven
Plot summary does not reflect what is shown. The whole thing could have been done in a two part mini-series. Too much filler. Surprised they didn't add them going to the bathroom and doing laundry and such..The concept of the story is ok, but they dragged it out with too much useless filler. Totally uneven with action and back story. There is no proper flow in this. I found myself falling asleep in parts and then suddenly missing something important. I have not read the comics, and I have no desire to do so. I feel too many things here are presented in a way that they assume you have read the comics and you know what is going on. I really detest that when they do a comic to movie/show... Oh, and who the heck is Jupiter??????
The Kid Detective (2020)
long winded and boring
Claims to be a comedy. Did I miss the jokes somewhere? Dry, long winded, lots of useless filler footage. The plot is pretty good, but the delivery is a miss. I could not wait for this to get to the end. Many reviews are raving about this...I do not understand why.
