Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023)
Sad fatherless writer can't figure out what kids like.
Look I like the ninja turtles movies, I've accepted the fact the live actions can never been re made or re created but this was just pathetic. 2008 flashbacks where tourists are streaming in time square on iphones. The soundtrack is awesome if you made this movie in the 2000s but it's 2023 kids don't know any of these songs its the equivalent of an 80s movie dropping dop-wop 50s hits . The "turtles" make dated as hell references to ferris bueller or hey Arnold both of which kids today wouldn't have ever understood. Television news in this movie is somehow relevant? 🤔 the ending of it all where everyone is a big happy family and shredder fan service at the end seriously who was this made for.
Black Adam (2022)
the most ok film ever
I like the Rock i would go see a film with him in it even if it was Dwayne Johnson as the shark from "Jaws" so this movie was already playing to my bias. The story is just okay, its left up to the audience to figure some things out and others are just not explained at all. The Justice Society Not league had some promise but left me with the impression they were just a dollar-general grade x men, with Aldis Hodge meant to act like black Batman. Truth be told I can't for the life of me tell you who or what Hawkman is or how his character functions. The other thing that's an unavoidable plot hole is almost the whole move Black Adam is speaking English a language not yet invited when he was imprisoned.
Prey for the Devil (2022)
This is the he man woman haters club no girls allowed
Yo this movie was absolute garbage. First of all if you like how this movie starts out i encourage you to enjoy "the Rite" with Anthony Hopkins a far better movie with a very similar story. Secondly Rey Skywalker exorcist? Like seriously that's the best we got for Halloween this year?
The plot is so lame and the predictable, including the very forced "twist". You know where exactly where the story's gonna go, unlike some other horror films you've seen this year. The director chose to use a ton lot of jump scares trying to make up for the lack of real suspense and horror, but they are just lazy and cheap, doesn't work at all. I'm usually quite affected by jump scares but this film got me make just once, and they attempted 10 times, if not more. There are also some really bad CGI effects which really threw me out of the movie.
The performances were all stale and terrible, except Colin Salmon trying his best.
MVP (2022)
Absolutely amazing film
This isn't going to be the big budget blockbuster, or art house indie garbage.made on the most modest budget and no marketingcampaign. This is a movie made for Veterans by veterans and it seats you into the very real crisis this world is facing. Suicide has become a plague among combat veterans and the issue truly has fallen on deaf ears to most that are asking for help. The work Nate and his team did to bring this film to life is amazing and I urge you to go in with an open mind. Now for the combat vets reading this look into MVP near you or the online forum the brotherhood is still there and we are waiting for you.
Andor (2022)
Who is this for?
No one asked for this! Andor is literally the most boring Start Wars i have ever watched, and its such a shame as i was looking forward to it. Ive just sat here and watch 3 episodes, and i honestly can't se me bothering with any more. To say the pacing is slow, is understatement. The main character goes to a place, has a conversation, then goes to another place and does the same. Very little else happens of any significance until the last 10 minuets of episode 3. With some decent editing, you could easily combine 120 minuets (3 episodes) into 30 minuets of story. Like take a note from the Bad Batch launch a birth of the rebel alliance show.
House of the Dragon (2022)
Who is this for?
This is definitely a money-grab. Shame that this impotent stuff borrows its name from GoT. All the humor, wit, creativity and suspense are gone. Boring script, endless dialogues about nothing, flat characters that do not evolve at all, useless blood out of context, actions not pushing the story forward, rather making it even more boring, dark picture, unimpressive playing, bad cast. Oh dear the main actress can't play anything, she's trying to cry sometimes to be able to show sadness, but even there her face end eyes do not change. The overall intrigue is so miserable that you can stop and go whenever you want at any moment of the show.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021)
Do better
I'm going to avoid talking about the heavy handed political undertones this garbage fire forces on you cause that's low hanging fruit at this point. The show itself has no substance to entertain you. Every starts with an idea or two that never really pan out or just do nothing to move the story forward. I loved both Falcon and Bucky in MCU this show makes them.look like sterile betas with mundane lives now that Rodgers has aged out. At this point I'm offering to Marvel studios let me write an MCU TV pilot I can't guarantee it'll be perfect but it'll certainly be entertaining you know the main objective of a TV show.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022)
Marvel is just kinda doing stuff
This is an honest review, but an actual focus group review thanks to Disney and Marvel for giving our group the opportunity to view these first 4 episodes.
First off, I don't think this show is intentionally bad. The characters are quirky and likeable, and there are good attempts of humor that might have landed if it didn't try so hard. There are also several moments of easter eggs and references that I found charming in an MCU product. The showrunners clearly had a goal of Aly Mcbeal meets super heroes then it takes a bizarre left turn in to degrading other super heroes.
The problem, however, is in the execution. The story is just messy. Jennifer just like appears in Bruce's life, for the past decade he's been this nomad type with no real personal attachment to any one (except Black Widow). Addressing the elephant in the room though the CGI of every character hurts a lot of feelings and very unnecessary. The actress Malia Arrayah got the most raw deal, so she is the foundation of the "she-hulk" design. But she's deep faked and altered instead of doing a Ferrigno and its hard to watch.
Shot Caller (2017)
Its on Netflix give it a chance
So I saw the trailer for this when it first came out and I never got around to watching it till a long slow Wednesday night. This movie is awesome. Now that being said it's not gonna change the world but it definitely is added to my reccomend list.
Triple Frontier (2019)
Lame
The story on paper should go off like the 4th of July. The movie I watched was absolutely boring as hell, the characters were lame. Not one person in this movie proved they were the actor their names are associated with.
Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018)
Better
Okay I'm from AZ specifically Chandler, so the first movie went lame fast for me. This one is much better I got 2 characters with depth and emotion, definitely worth watching.
Sicario (2015)
Arizona reviewer
This movie shows in great detail that no one did any research before filming. Brolin and Benicio are the only saving grace of this movie. The main character is so boring 😴
Dune (2021)
God this movie is boring
Total snoozefest just watch the original and write you're own remake I got $100 your story would be better than this art house crap filled waste of 3 hours.
