Injustice (2021)
Missed opportunity
Wow, such a missed opportunity. The script was basically written, it is one of the greatest DC stories and they just had to change it and ruin it.
This apparition of injustice feels disconnected, a bunch of little stories hastily glued together with a modified weak over arch leading it.
Had they just adapted the source material with the necessary cuts for time it would've been great, but they had to make unnecessary changes to it that makes you feel lost while watching it. They try to keep the story randomly moving with elements of the original without the set up necessary for it.
They changed great scenes of the original just for laughs and shock. It's truly bad. They also got rid of flash and put in curtis holt, who was never in the story in the first place, in his scenes for forced quota. It made no sense whatsover and made the story feel clunkier.
This things feels like a bad frankenstein of what it should be, an epic. Specially considering how good DC animation is. Just a terrible miss with one of their more popular storylines.
Ted Lasso: Beard After Hours (2021)
Bad filler
Just a bad filler and the weakest episode of the show so far, along with the filler christmas episode. The show should've stuck to 10 episodes per season and these two would not have been needed or missed.
The episode is a disjointed mess of bad scenes and randomness. Forced uncharacteristic wannabe character development from beginning to end.
It doesn't matter if it's an "homage". What's the point of an homage if you're just going to spring it with no set up or payoff and it's badly executed?
Ted Lasso: Carol of the Bells (2021)
Out of season Filler
Holiday episodes are always filler on tv shows. They have nothing to do with the plot and are extra cheesy and stereotyped. I love the show, but I despise these filler special episodes. So, there's a balance. 5.
The Mummy (2017)
This abomination showed up yesterday on suggestions
So, I saw it contained Cruise and Crowe and it led me to watch it. A few minutes into the movie and Tom Cruise is in a 80's shoot out and after it in a stereotypical 'rogue army guy' and 'hard ass superior' type of conversation. Then stereotypical 'mr. Hottie smartpants who cruise will eventually nail' shows up. I turned it off.
Seriously, I no longer have the suspension of disbelief for this kind of movie anymore. Not even lack of suspension of disbelief, it feels insulting to my tiny intelligence from the get go.
Avoid this like the plague, the next hour and change won't improve, I can assure you. Why's Russell Crowe doing this kind of garbage is beyond me. Tom Cruise doing this I can understand since Mission Impossible is on it's sixth or seventh cliche movie...
Without Remorse (2021)
Yur basic soldier worshipping action movie
Full of hollywood action movie cliches, bad dialogue and decent action. Watch it if you're bored, it'll kill some time. Don't expect anything else from it.
Vikings: The Best Laid Plans (2020)
Battle
An episode that reminds us of the only thing that the show still can do great, battles. Still a little bit of the of the repetitive and cyclical political, religious and who is "insert name" going to bed next boredom that has already been explored in depth on the earlier seasons and now puts anyone to sleep, we have great battle scenes for most of the episode and it is glorious. A good mid season bleeding, as it usually is for the show.
21 Bridges (2019)
Average Cop Flick
Just your regular, average cop flick with one obvious plot "twist", if you can even call it that.
Good action scenes though, watch it if there's nothing else you can think of and you wanna kill a couple hours before going to bed.
Supernatural: The Heroes' Journey (2020)
Fun little filler
A fun little filler with a great job by DJ Qualls.
What you would expect of an episode number 10.
Good watch.
San Andreas (2015)
Very low expectations and it's still garbage
Well, it's a disaster movie, what're you gonna expect? But this one takes all the bad tropes and cliches of disaster movies to the max. Every single character is a stereotype from start to finish, the dialogue is vomit inducing, the story is preposterous and the movie would be best served by having no dialogue at all.
The visual effects are at about the same level of previous big budget disaster movies from many years ago. They're so-so, it just completely takes you out of the experience the fact you can spot the green screen plenty of times.
Three stars - One for the Rock just playing himself as usual and one each for Alexandra Daddario's pair bouncing around whenever possible.
Seriously people, this cost 110 millions dollars and there is better amateur content on youtube. I've no idea how it made close to half a billion. Guess "family" means gullible.
Gemini Man (2019)
Garbage
Avoid this at all costs. Terrible, predictable story with a pacing and agenda from a Cold War movie. The dialogue at times makes it seem like the actors were waiting for someone behind the camera to shout "now you say your line. ok now the actor!". I suppose that's what you get from one half of the ruin of game of thrones's dialogue post book material.
Only reason I'm giving it two stars is that the facial CGI on Will Smith is pretty incredible. Although any other CGI in movement during the action scenes looks off, like the physics is completely wrong.
The Handmaid's Tale: Unfit (2019)
Another lukewarm filler
Another filler episode on the heels of last week's, it does delve inside the backstory of Aunt Lydia for a few scenes, but does a very poor job and the episode ends on the same note, with bad written shock scenes with lots of facial zooms. You can skip this one and miss barely nothing.
This show should really be 10 episodes.
