The Diplomat (2023)
The script and acting is absolutely awful. Avoid.
More rubbish from Netflix. Poor script, terrible choice of actors. Worse than Eastenders. This is just bad and having people vaguely associated with the West Wing does not make a good program and the script is dire. British people do not say "smarts" for hurts. This is useless American term for "ow, words hurt", painful to watch and it's hilarious that the soundtrack thinks that this is a spoof of Wednesday... more characters to follow as for some ungodly reason I have to type more than another 100 characters. This is a bit of a joke much like this piss poor excuse for a tv programme. Netflix feel free to ask me for scripts.
The Crown (2016)
Utterly disgraceful from Netflix
Typical money grabbing rubbish from Netflix who prefer to invent stories than do any actual research. Season 4&5 are a travesty of modern television and as of this moment I have cancelled my membership and I will be urging everyone I know to do the same. The Queen has just left us and you bring out this crap. This unadulterated filth. A step too far and I believe that the decline for Netflix will continue as they lack good original content. The odd win - Stranger Things, altered Carbon, etc. - does not make or allow you to compete with Amazon, Disney and even Apple. This in tv terms is the third rail.
Shantaram (2022)
Utter boring rubbish
Don't bother, its poor and Charlie's Aussie accent is a disgrace. It's dull and been done before. Why on earth do I have to write 600 characters? Obviously to stave off bots and fake Amazon reviews like the new Rings of Power rubbish. At least that's better than this dross. The book is crap as well. Oh well that's tv today. They get good looking actors in to roles like this that ultimately mean nothing and try and call it a classic or some other misnomer. The good thing is that the wife thought it was crap as well so it will never ever be shown on my tv which is a good thing as my tv has taste.
House of the Dragon: Driftmark (2022)
Lazy, poor writing we are firmly back in GoT Series 7 and 8 mode
The second poor episode in a row. Poor writing, scenes that seem to be written for shock value with no substance, and a bust up about kids. I have now given up as I did with the new Lotr series as that was terrible after 1,5 episodes. At least this lasted a few more. Seasoned fantasy readers are obviously not the audience for this rubbish, it's probably for the real housewives crowd... makes sense for a generation brought up on reality television garbage. It's sad and reminds me how close we are coming to idoitcracy...great movie and becoming closer to the truth everyday. Please can you - Hollywood or the big studios - just make something good for a change.
Traffic (2000)
Great script but don't watch on IMDB tv
Good movie but there are no subtitles for the Spanish parts of the movie. A real pity as I am sure that this would make the movie have a or more meaning.
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
Superb and better than Ragnarok
Don't believe the idiots posting 2,3,4 for this movie, it rocks and it's just great fun. Exactly what Thor is supposed to be. Natalie Portman is phenomenal. Highly recommended.
The Missing (2014)
Utter rubbish
Do not waste your time on this program. It's poor, the plot is convoluted and goes no where and the ending is a huge disappointment. Terrible acting from some of the actors.
Dune (2021)
Soulless and dull
Very disappointed with this movie. So poor from Denis. Good cast but the script is awful and wooden. I can see that the cinematographer was trying to copy Blade Runner 2049 and failed. Too many pointless scenes that probably mean something to people who have read the book.
Karppi (2018)
Very poor
Just not good. Poor continuity between scenes, very slow and no real plot structure. A real pity as it's beautifully filmed. A bit too formulaic for my tastes, reminded me of a bad CBS drama.
Goldstone (2016)
Bloody awful
Avoid at all costs. 500 times worse than Mystery Road (Movie). Watch the TV series instead. Very poor movie, no plot, no outcomes, no nothing.
A pity really as Aron is a great actor and one of Australia's best.
Army of the Dead (2021)
Truly awful
Don't waste your time. Utter crap from start to finish. Even Dave can't save it.
Greyzone (2018)
Utter unrealistic rubbish
Don't waste your time, we gave up after 3 episodes as it's so bad.
Goliath (2016)
Season 4 is utter rubbish - avoid
Wow, the worst writing in the history of tv. Season 4 is abysmal. Utter, utter rubbish. So disappointed after a good season 1 and 2.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine: The Good Ones (2021)
Wow, just awful
Easily the worst episode in the history of B99. Avoid.
Making the Cut (2020)
Utter rubbish
Season 2 Gary was robbed. Ridiculous decision for a true artist not to win it. Amazon hang your head in shame.
American Gangster (2007)
Possibly Ridley Scott's worst movie
Fat, long, bloated and tiresome. Edit off 20-25 min and you have a good movie. In its current form it's very poor.
Nomadland (2020)
A portrait of the American nomad ultimately signifying nothing...
A snapshot of the nomad lifestyle and the acceptability of economic poverty. It could have been great but it's dull. You look through a window onto a life that is ultimately very, very sad. If you have more time watch a documentary rather.
One Hour Photo (2002)
Always heard good things of this movie, but watching it was a huge disappointment
Robin Williams is excellent in his most restrained role. The script is awful and it lacks any shock value at all. Very poor movie.
The Rookie: Revelations (2021)
Worst episode by far...
Wow, that was awful. No continuity in scripts and scenes. Woke to the point of absurdity. No way the Rookie gets a 4th season after this rubbish.
WandaVision (2021)
Very, very average.
Don't believe the hype. It's a movie chopped into TV sized chunks which would have been great but it's not a good story or even particularly interesting. Why they can' just follow the comics is beyond me. Huge amounts of great source material all wasted.
Rake (2010)
Great series for casual viewing
Starts really well. Seasons 1 and 2 are great, 3 and 4 average and the 5th season is woeful. Stop watching this after season 4 and it's well worth wasting a weekend or 2
A Star Is Born (2018)
Utter rubbish. Don't waste your time
Wow.... Lady Gaga really cannot act. Ruins the movie. Bradley Cooper is poor as well. A shame really as we were looking forward to something special.
Irresistible (2020)
Steve Carroll's worst movie
Wow this is bad. The script is horrendous and it has a stellar cast that are woefully underused. Avoid paying for this and then don't bother watching it when it's free on another streaming channel.
Young Wallander (2020)
Awful
Don't waste your time with this. Badly filmed, poor script and brain dead scripts. Unrealistic scenes especially the club scene. Nothing at all to do with Wallander.
Hustlers (2019)
A truly awful movie with a couple of good performances
Wow, 0 script, seems like it was made up as they were shooting it. Plots rubbish and the ending... wow. Another rubbish performance by J-Lo. Started ok and became an unmitigated disaster after 20min. Avoid
