Dune (2021)
5/10
Slow burn and kind of boring
19 May 2024
I know it's part one and we have to wait for part 2, but when you adapt a book to the screen you have to create some excitement, character building, and an ending. You can't just go by the book and hope for the best. Especially when it's half of the book. To be honest Dune makes a better mini series than movie. Because as a mini series you can just stick to the book and it will be fine. As a movie you have to change it to feel like a movie. Even if it's part 1 of 2. This just felt like a slow prolog or something. Never felt like we got to the actual story. Music was so awful and annoying. Not expecting much from part 2 after this.

More of a Kong movie
13 May 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This is not a Godzilla movie. Comparing it to minus one is just not a good comparison. Minus one was a Godzilla movie. This is very much a Kong movie with a guess appearance of Mothra and Godzilla. Which is cool. He was pink which is new. But little to no time was spent on Godzilla fights with other monsters and in the final battle he is just more of an after thought then real player in the fight. For a Kong movie is was pretty decent. I like the exploring of his world and monkeys are fine, but the bad guy monkey was not intimidating. Wasn't a fair fight really. I felt like mecha Godzilla was the better bad guy in the last movie. Screen time was more even on the last one. Fight scenes lasted longer and better done. This one seemed rushed or badly edited. Maybe a smaller budget this time. Enjoyable movie, just take Godzilla out of the title as it's a Kong movie. Love seeing Mothra.

An ok Godzilla movie
6 May 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I've watched a lot of Godzilla movies in my days and this one was just ok for me. Not bad and not great. But a good watch one time. The reason for the 5 is I feel this movie had several issues with the plot and story. The story itself is just ok and nothing well thought up. Godzilla seems to have no story as to where he came from and why he is doing what he is. You never really understand why Godzilla is doing what he is. The pansy pilot is very annoying and not very believable. The scene after Godzilla destroys everything and the pilot is just left there by Godzilla screaming makes no sense at all from how people act. There were some fantastic things done in the movie as well. This movie needed a bigger budget and more developed plot. But a decent watch.

Voyagers (2021)
5/10
5 for the first half of the film, 0 for the second half
27 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I really liked the idea to this movie, a multi generational space travel. Kids that have been prepped for it. The father and icon to the kids. A space alien. Ship problems and what should have been the complex nature of humanity on a ship.

Instead we got teeny bopper high school fight club. This turned so bad so fast after the first half. Literally just stop the movie and dream up your second half because it would have been much better. I would have literally settled for anything else other than this garbage.

There is no question a long journey would be complex and difficult. Depression, loneliness, space sickness, and so much more would be problems to deal with.

But drugging the kids and then having them turn into gang members is about as dumb as it gets. What a waste of an idea and movie. I would have taken aliens or some event horizon horror, or just problems a small society would have to deal with.

Well, not a total waste as the first half was good. But the writer obviously had no clue.

Star Trek: Discovery: Red Directive (2024)

1/10
The Michael Burnham show is back!
5 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I forgot how bad this show was. Michael just does everything. She even does Star Wars now. This is such a puke fest. I thought maybe they may try to actually make this more Star Trek like in the final season. Nope, just puke all over the show. Tilly just make you want to punch her out so she just stops. How in the world would these people ever make it onto starships. The writers have no clue about anything that makes any sense and they just don't care. Throw it out the window, anything that makes any sense. Crash some ships, add some Star Wars, put some data but not data in, add some more super annoying Tilly, turn everyone into feelings people, the convict is back, the horrible music is back, the top chief has throws the book out the window and who cares, riding ships is just like riding a bike, 800 year old ships are gold mines, spore drive is broken when it needs to be, bad guys always get away even though they are always there.

3 Body Problem (2024– )
1/10
Just can't get through it.... Keep falling asleep
1 April 2024
I'm not sure why I bothered to give this a go. As obviously, it's from dumb and dumber. But I got sucked into the curiosity of how bad could it be. I mean I sat through season 8 of GoT and watched the idiotic destruction of the best show on TV. So, how much worse and enraging could it get. Well, it can get worse. People should know when to quit and move onto something else. You're either going to make this science fiction and aliens or go for something more science based and get your facts right. This is neither, it has no clue what it wants to be or is supposed to be. I mean, VR with an ugly helmet that is supposed to indicate advanced alien tech. This really hurts my head. I figure some people that don't know anything about science and tech will probably just bypass any understanding and chalk it up sci-fi. But anyone that gets tech and science will most likely just give this a pass. I've made this suggestion before, if you're going to write about any science that we currently know and understand, you better get someone to explain this to you and fact check your writing first. Same goes for directors. Otherwise, don't try and use current science we know and understand. It just shows how much of an idiot you are and obviously most know D&D are not very bright.

Incoherent mess with to much going on that goes nowhere
23 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
What a mess this is. I figured I would stick this season out as much as I wanted to quit. The only reason is 3 of my other shows took a nose dive into awful seasons, that I quit them. The problem with this story is it suffers from lack of direction and lack of a real story. Side stories r us doesn't make it better. It's awful. This show has no real point to it. Things happen just for the sake of happening. You don't really care what happens as there is no actual investment in anyone. I have a feeling this is probably cancelled. I won't be watching "the last of us" Halo edition at all if season 3 does somehow make it. Enjoyed Masterchief when he got to play himself. But that was a very short amount of screen time. And McKee, why??? Just why???

The Last of Us: Look for the Light (2023)
Season 1, Episode 9
1/10
I don't get the good reviews
18 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I feel like people didn't just watch the same episode as I did. Or even the same series as I did. Because a side from the first episode this one really went downhill from there. I mean we have a scary world of infected and yet, they are the least thing we see or care about. Joel is a super inconsistent character and can't seem to decide if he's the terminator or just an old useless man. The girl Ellie is actually played well. I think she caries this show. Based on what we saw Joel saving Ellie makes perfect sense because the infected are not the main issue anyways. Mankind seem to be more crazy and pose a bigger threat then infected do. I really thought the infected just don't seem to spread very much or it really isn't as infectious as it seemed to be at the beginning. Besides, this doesn't seem like it couldn't be replicated anyways. Now, let's say this actually was acted out as a real desperate infected world that was super dangerous and there wasn't lots of towns of happy people and humans were thriving. Then this would be a different story. Let's say Ellie became like a daughter to Joel. Then this might make more sense. There is so many more issues with this I could go on for a long time. But I really hope they either don't make season 2 or if they do, then let's see some real infected and real desperation in humanity. Just a really weird ending for a series about infected and post apocalyptic world. 1 is what it deserves for episode and season.

Halo: Aleria (2024)
Season 2, Episode 5
1/10
Writers and director has no clue who audience is
12 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I can only come to the conclusion that some people have become so stuck in some other world that they don't understand that a guys show or movie is for the guys. We want to see some badass dude with some hot a@@ chick killing a whole bunch of bad guys. That's all we ask! Masterchief is literally the easiest thing to do and not screw up. So, my only conclusion is that there doing this on purpose. I don't see how else you explain the attempt at girl bossathon in this mess and no Masterchief. The whole season 2 is the worst takeover by an alien enemy in the history of TV. It literally is too painful to watch any longer. Please do what they should have done to Reach and kill offf this not Halo show.

Halo: Onyx (2024)

1/10
Wow, turning Halo into girl boss series
12 March 2024
I have said it many times that people in Hollywood will take Hollywood to bankruptcy with the girl boss fantasy. I just never thought you could do that to something like Halo. Masterchief was clearly the heart of the story and just like Mandalorian's own show, Masterchief has lost his show as well. I guess that's the end for me as all girl boss shows end in one way. Cancellation. This hunk of junk hopefully gets cancelled after this season as there is no girl boss audience for this. Hollywood loves saving me money these days. Never cancelled so many things and seen so much more money in my pocket!

The Beekeeper (2024)
5/10
Jason is great as usual, but everything else is missing
6 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
First things first, Jason is amazing as usual. You could have the worst camera men in the world and it wouldn't matter. He is just all round very skilled and very athletic. Not to mention amazing at what he does. Ok, now that's out of the way, everything else sucks! Oh my god, so bad. I honestly like the idea of the beekeeper and the writer sets up a good idea which is then written and executed terribly. Terrible acting from pretty much everyone else. Involving government was just not needed and made the whole thing so ridiculous. I liked it up till that point. It's like they couldn't think of anything so they just said let's go full John Wick. Well I enjoyed the first half of the movie and then the ending was just boring and became dumb. 5/10 for a good start and terrible finish.

Halo (2022– )

So hard to find a half decent show these days
1 March 2024
If you're not going to respect the source content then just don't bother writing it or directing it. This seems to be the theme now a days. Just do the laziest thing you can as half a@@'d as possible. Just had the same thing happen to two other shows I started to watch based on tons of content. We seem to live in a world now where respecting people's work is a thing of the past. Where we just profit off of others. Maybe this writer should have wrote about that instead. Well this is see ya later and thanks for killing what could have been a great show if people had some respect for the source material.

Constellation: The Left Hand of God (2024)

1/10
Can you give it a zero
1 March 2024
I said it was going to be horrible and it's actually worse than horrible. I guess I didn't think it was going to get that bad. I think the writers were on drugs when they wrote this. Maybe LSD or some shrooms or something. I tuned in just to see how bad it would get and haven't seen something this bad in a very long time. Nothing makes sense because people can't be in a super position and observers don't change quantum states. Basic QM not even correct. The show writers just don't care, the director doesn't care, and the actors have no clue what there supposed to be doing or acting like. One of the worst abominations I've seen in the history of TV.

Avoid like the plague
28 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Very few movies or shows can handle complex science topics very well. But this seems to want to be a sci-fi horror of some kind. I can say it's no event horizon that's for sure which is my all time favorite sci-fi horror and Cloverfield is great. Anyways I think most people caught onto this stinker of a show already and like me thought it may be something worth while. It's not, I sat through 3 episodes and is it boring, boring, boring. The suspense is boring, the horror is boring, the characters are boring. I feel like the writer took pieces from different movies and tried to put something together with as little effort as possible. I'm done and out'

Difficult topic to cover, writers shouldn't write about QM
28 February 2024
The show has a serious problem from the start, which is they are covering a very complex topic that nobody understands. I usually avoid these because they turn into a mess and end up as dumb as possible showing the writer and director never had a clue about the topic to begin with. Not to mention the show is all over the place switching back and forth. Just a really bad way to keep people invested. In Episode 3 they actually have to explain the basics of Quantum Mechanics that any YouTube video would explain. Made me roll my eyes and almost turn this off. Would have been better to provide the YouTube link or Google search then to provide that pathetic explanation of QM. Interstellar covered QM and so much more and was fantastic because it had a real story that made sense and we were led on a journey of daughter and father being brought back together through space and time. It involved QM, time dilation, gravity, worm holes and some of the most complex science there is. And you could watch and enjoy it even if you didn't understand or get the science. Because we could relate to a dying Earth, because we wanted to save humanity, because sometimes we have to risk it all, because we wanted to give people a chance, and finally because a father wanted his daughter to live on in a better world. So many powerful scenes in Interstellar done through the most complex topics there is. This show has none of that 3 episodes in and I'm sure we'll give another QM lesson to a 8 year old in the near future again.

Halo: Reach (2024)
Season 2, Episode 4
5/10
Boring, not believable and not masterchief
26 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I think for some reason people are picking video games as a way to show a new series. Pretending like it doesn't have a lot of well done story. This is what makes a mess like this. Writers and directors who don't know their audiences. Writers and directors who really either didn't ever play the games or know the story or they actually thought they could do a better job. This of course never works and always fails, yet writers and directors seem to lazy or to stupid to care. None of this makes any sense, it didn't look like a takeover. Masterchief was useless, two important characters die for no real good reason. The just leaving at the end sums up the writer and director mentality as the world's dumbest. Now at this point, everything has to be just as lazy and dumb. Things will not make sense and will be just to move the show along. Add it to the list of shows this is or has happened too. Absolutely ridiculouss.

Quantum Leap: Against Time (2024)
Season 2, Episode 13
8/10
All nicely tied together for a complete ending
23 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I actually think this is a really good ending. They really tied things up in the last 3 episodes. The formula was never to really bring Ben home. Hanna found out she couldn't do that. But what she did find out was that she could bring someone to join Ben to leap with as Addison and Ben's connection were tied together like hers and Ben's. The intention was never to bring Ben home and she knew Addison would switch places. Her intention was to bring them together. Very nicely done and really enjoyed the ending. I think this was all too late as the show has lost most of its viewers and won't be renewed. But great ending and leaves it open for another run at this again some day.

Superhero fatigue and same old boring stuff
20 February 2024
If this movie came out a long time ago it would have been great. But the superhero age is over and we are tired of the same old stuff. Aquaman requires Avatar level Graphics. You can't do aquaman on a budget because it looks cheesy and fake. Acting by Momoa is great as usual. The brother thing worked well. But like i said it's all been done a hundred times now. The worst part is that these studios aren't getting the point. You need a script that's original. CGI has to look real and good. There's no real audience for this stuff anymore. But the companies don't seem to get it, I guess they'll keep doing them until there bankrupt. Oh well.

Quantum Leap: The Family Treasure (2024)
Season 2, Episode 10
1/10
Writers are not getting the point
14 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This series has some good episodes and starts going somewhere and then you get this trash. Boring, boring, boring! I think different people are writing these episodes or something. Maybe someone writes 2 or 3 and then someone else writes 1 and then someone else writes a couple more. Because there isn't any consistency. I actually loved the nod to non binary in this episode, it's actually done well and doesn't feel forced or in your face. But the rest of this was so boring. Like did we not get the clue with Indiana jones or something. Come on writers, you literally have thousands of things you can write about. I can't stand all of the side characters, come on writers. You already have to many and nobody cares about them. I don't get it, can't anyone hire a good writer now a days. Hope this show gets back to quantum leap and stops trying to be something else otherwise there won't be season 3 as I'm sure ratings are falling like no tomorrow with this.

Quantum Leap: The Lonely Hearts Club (2023)
Season 2, Episode 4
5/10
Gone from ok to bad and boring
11 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The first season had some bumps in the road but was fairly decent for tv. This second season is rough, all of the episodes are boring. It already was trying at times to do too much with to much cast and now we've added more and not less. The show has no direction and the start of this season was tedious and confusing because suddenly 3 years went by without any back story being done. It's bad to have to much back story and now this has none. The relationships are now just wooden and awkward, there is no chemistry at all anymore with anyone. The stories suck, and are super boring. I think this one has been damaged beyond repair and I'm sure everyone if they didn't quit already, surely will with season 2. No surprise if this thing is cancelled real soon.

Quantum Leap: Let Them Play (2023)
Season 1, Episode 12
1/10
Lazy, boring, and not the time or place
6 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This is the utter worst episode by far in the series so far. The worst part of why it gets a 1 is because it should be amongst the best. That is the difference between how you educate people. The writers and director for this are so cringe, in your face trying to send the message that they forget any basic coherent story. They might as well just spent five minutes yelling the message at you. If this is what the writers and director think quantum leap is then I'll be taking a hard pass. Anymore of these episodes and I'm done. Let's hope we get some better writing and stories. Btw, all of the cast is doing great with some of this poorly written crap. Hoping they get better stuff, got some real talent on that cast.

Quantum Leap (2022–2024)
7/10
Happy it's an addition to the original
4 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The show came in not trying to beat the original or change the dynamics of how it all works. That works great for people that saw the original series. The original series is great and I'd watch it if you didn't before this. The issue I find so far is their trying to do too much each episode. Adding complexity where it's not needed. This gives it the unrealistic problem to the point of where it gets silly. The episodes that stay within a more realistic and simple story line work better. I'm good with the team, but I think they were introduced to quickly adding less time to the actual stories and making the stories more boring and less believable. If you want to do more with the team, then you need a more simple story. The ER is an example of a mess of this not working well. If you want a complex story for Ben, then cut the team out for the episode and concentrate on that. If you want more team in an episode then simple story like the blowup, die, repeat episode. Don't try and do too much as it just ends up a mess. Overall episodes are hit or miss due to this. Some good, some bad, some boring. Will continue to watch to see where it goes.

Echo (2023–2024)
5/10
What's with the editing
25 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I agree with everyone that has noticed the really bad hack and slash editing. It really seems like it was supposed to be 10 episodes and then someone decided it only deserved 5 at the last minute. Parts seem to be missing. It seems like episodes just got cut or something. The actual show seems like it would have been fine if we had the other half of the show. I don't even see how it would be possible to direct something this badly. It has to be terrible editing and massive parts cut out. The show did a horrible job on Fisk. The train scene was horrible and so dark you couldn't see much. I despise dark scenes in general. Echo seems like entire parts were cut out of her character building. I could go on, but this show could have been a decent show. It's really starting to piss me off that Marvel keeps ruining great characters.

Back to MI 2 standards
17 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
It was going strong, but sooner or later you run out of story. This has all of the most boring, been done a thousand times scenes that now cost double the money. Getting rid of Ferguson and going with the new thief, not my cup of tea or something that should be in M:I. They've clearly exhausted their ideas. This is like fast and furious. Super boring now because it's just rinse and repeat. If they don't get back to what works, I think this will die out like fast and furious. Hopefully, it will recover. There is part 2. But let's get some team action back in there. Get some cohesive stuff going on. Bring back the impossible mission. Raise the bar and steaks. Tom don't show your awesome stunts a thousand times before the movie. I'll watch the next one. But let's hope for something better. Still a huge Cruise fan.

The Flash (I) (2023)
6/10
Entertaining enough for a watch
28 September 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I'd say it was entertaining enough for a watch. Seeing Keaton back in action was great. Supergirl was great as well, I hope she gets her own movie. Seems like she would be great as supergirl. My two biggest issues were yet another movie where the main character doesn't have there powers for most of the movie. It's a flash movie, we came for the flash. The second part to it is the awful CGI. If you don't have the budget, just don't do it. I really think they did too much. Flash speed force was cheesy as it gets. Pretty much anything to do with Flash in this movie was bad. No real bad guy for Flash, again. 6/10 is for Keaton and supergirl.
