Cliche fest with a chain of Goofy plot holes and illogical story choices.

Too bad Jordan Peele turned this down to give Jaume Collet-Serra an opportunity to make a blockbuster. It failed. The jokes were played out. I didnt care about the characters. The action was boring. The cgi felt like i was watching a game. The music was lazy. The dialogues felt cheaply fabricated. The whole movie felt like a quick money grab and a disrespect to the audience. After 20 years of superhero movies the bar should be high. Black Adam as an antihero was the perfect opportunity to create something unique but instead the director decided to play it safe and in the end its a good vs bad story. The idea of a opressed people that only get saved by the west when they profit from it is a nice political message. That got me engaged long enough to finish the whole movie.

Dan Harmon with a cast full of famous comedians and actors really made me want to love this. Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry are one of my favorite comedians off all time. I love Community and Rick and Morty. But it seems these ingredients didnt work at all with Krapopolis. It lacked chemistry. It seems like the comedians read their lines from a piece paper. The characters never feel ' alive'. The slapstick, fast paced childish jokes feel rushed and lack creativity and dept. It missed quality from all parts. The voices didnt work, the writing didnt work and Dan Harmons touch seems lost.

I will keep continue watching this series, because i hope it will better and this is just the result of awkwardness off the cast doing these voices. And i hope that the writers of this show find their mojo so the quality of the show will improve. Right now its bland and awkward.

Its a treat to see De Niro and Pesci act. But the way this movie is made doesnt work for me. The storytelling kind of movie where every scene start with a song and a monologue. It really started to annoy me when i was 40 min in. The story itself is constantly repeating how it works, what goes wrong and why they do it. All in all i didnt enjoy this movie at all.

Bad and over the top acting. Stereotypical bad guys. Good Guy somehow knows exactly how everything works. Didn't like this one.

I watched the first 4 episodes with my girlfriend and the teen love story, the predictable action scènes and long and unnecessary dialogues felt like there was too much fill in to stretch time. My girl liked it enough and watched the rest without me.

So i give it 5* because i think there is an audience for it and the special effecten and action scènes where allright.
