Sky Rojo (2021–2023)
3/10
Terrible
12 May 2021
An island, Tenerife, without cops, where any pimp can kill whoever they like whenever they like without consequences. Brothels without any government control, kidnapping woman from other countries and forcing them to be prostitutes. The worst part of this tv series is that they present a fictional world that is in general unreal as a plausible story to criticize prostitution. You want to solve prostitution? Make it fully legal to ensure that no woman is exploited. I regret watching this shallow pamphlet.

Great acting, heartwarming story, don't pay attention to negative reviews
24 March 2021
Long story made short. I'm white and I'm busy. I think that the recurrent joke on white people being privileged is the only part I would remove from this film (white people has problems too, surely I have less money than the actors). This issue aside, the rating is way too low for what this film is. Murphy is not a great black comedian, he is a great comedian full stop. It makes you wonder why he has not received more attention, he certainly deserves it. Other actors do a great job too, script is enjoyable, no doubt.

Superman & Lois (2021–2024)
10/10
So this is how a great script looks like!
28 February 2021
I didn't feel like watching, as this is a spin-off of the Supergirl show, which I frankly find boring, artificial and quite ridiculous. Well what a pleasant surprised. This is a much interesting story. If only Superman had a bit more of testoterone. Other than that, congratulations for very nice show.

Iron Fist (2017–2018)
5/10
Enough with female supremacy
6 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Male characters are lost (Daniel, BB, ...), jerks (Ward) or evil (Davos, Yang).

Female characters are enlightened (Wing), brave (Walker, Knight, even Joy) or wise leaders (Yang, the AA sponsor).

The Iron Fist, who spent many years training in a monastery achieving a level so high that he could literally beat a dragon, is in need of a master (Wing) whose highest achievement has been teaching in a NY dojo... Daniel decides that she deserves the Iron First more than him. Without having had to beat a dragon. It makes no sense, it is unbearable.

Crash course on how to waste an amazing character
27 December 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Luke Skywalker should have been an example of how powerful a jedi master can end up being. Instead, he was used to show how powerful the new generation was. I would have liked him to be even beyond the level of snoke. what an enormous waste. I simply have no interest in seeing episode IX

Geostorm (2017)
8/10
seriously underrated
17 December 2017
If you like disaster movies, you will like this one. Yes, it could be better and the scientific justification of weather manipulation is pretty lame (most movies are terrible in this sense). However, I was entertained and had a good time. Definitely not a rating under 7!

Jean-Claude Van Johnson (2016–2017)
9/10
Brilliant dialogues and show!
17 December 2017
Warning: Spoilers
It is a nice show.

JCVD was always a black ops, acting being his cover. He gets back after retirement.

Some scenes are great. Timecop vs Looper in the pilot being my favorite so far.

I would have enjoyed the movie more if it wasn't strongly man-hating
7 October 2016
News flash for writers and producers: a woman can be strong, successful and proud without having to belittle men. Practically all male characters are portrayed as either evil or deeply stupid. Try to do invert the roles: the movie would have been surely censored.

But we have to separate things. The movie itself is entertaining, if you can overlook the offensive parts, and well done. It is even very funny a couple of times. It is a 6.5-7 out of 10.

Extremely underrated movie

Beautiful film. Meaningful. Fighting scenes are mesmerising, music selection helping a lot. I am lost: what kind of person could rate this movie below 7.5?

Man of Steel (2013)
5/10
Another missed opportunity (spoilers)
28 June 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Reasons why this superman film underperformed (once more):

1) The plot did not bring out the epic character of the hero and even contained some very stupid lines: "Evolution always wins", "I'm laughing because he's hot", ...

2) The superman character is very different from the one in the comics, who would have never been destroying buildings while about a million people dies as a consequence. The lead author is good, but created a character with way too high testosterone levels. This is of course a shared responsibility with the director.

3) The new metallic look of Krypton is quite unattractive. I much prefer the crystal fortress theme of the original film.

4) The explanation for superman powers is again quite stupid. A scientific adviser would have come out with a more plausible one. Also, there was nothing really special about him, but won a field general. This should have explained much better.

propagandistic rubbish
7 May 2012
As non-US national, I feel disgusted about the childish propagandistic rubbish that this film is. Michael Man's franchise stinks more than a Tea Party convention.

First of all, will a much more advanced alien civilisation team up with US army to attach Iran's "illegal" nuclear facility? Why is it legal for one country to have nuclear technology and not for another? It is so stupid and certainly autobots would have better things to do.

And then we have Frances McDormand's character bossing autobots around. Yes, sure, as they would take orders from a brainless high military officer. Ah, and of course, some completely out of place republican joke about Obama.

Really, it is unbearable and it pains me as the action is good and the potential of the film high.

Human scumbags should have been devoured by the aliens
16 October 2011
Warning: Spoilers
I was truly disgusted at the attempt of justifying the behaviour of hoodies in the UK. Four of our five "heroes" live with their parents and are well provided for. The fifth thug (Moses) lives by himself and this is supposed to justify the fact that he put a knife to a woman with the help of his friends. If you can have an education and instead of making the most of it choose to become a ridiculous brain-dead thug, do not blame the police, the establishment or the bloody aliens. If you want to know who is guilty, find yourself a mirror. If your parents are so useless that are unable to control or even find out what their children are after, then they should be heavily fined. There is no excuse: you get what you deserve. To make things worse, Moses had a "intellectual" moment and claims that aliens have been brought by the police to kill black people in the same way that drugs were introduced for the same purpose. What a phenomenal moron!
