House of the Dragon (2022)
Not GOT and not GOOD
Are people simply giving this show good ratings because they are being told it is good?
The story is boring and unengaging and there are no likeable characters. In fact, there is not much to like about it at all.
There is no Hound, no Aria, no Cersei, no Red witch, no Dire wolves, or even a raven. I think you see where I'm going here. But wait... There ARE dragons. Is that the reason for all the hype and good ratings??
I just fail to see why people are liking this show. I was never expecting it to be as good at GOT but I was hoping it would be close.
I gave this show a rating of 1 to try to offset all the ludicrous 10s. Realistically, its maybe a 7 if you are into dramatic TV series.
I've stopped watching it.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
I want off this planet.
Disclaimer: Like so many others, I generally do not like Tom Cruise as a person. However, I typically always like and appreciate his movies. From the Mission Impossibles to the Jack Reachers. He just stars in, and produces great and entertaining movies.
This movie, unfortunately was one of the cheesiest and corniest I've ever seen. At the same time, it felt like a Disney production. (Not my cup of tea.)
It was predictable, stupid and cringe worthy at times. I have zero idea why the reviews are so good. I felt like it was insulting to my intelligence.
I hesitated to watch this movie for months because I expected it to be bad, but in the back of my mind I was hoping that I might be wrong about my expectations.
Expectations confirmed! Garbage movie. Tom needs to retire!
Don't Look Up (2021)
Society today
I could watch this movie over and over. It is awesome. But sadly the satirical nature of this movie is tragically true.
We live in an era where most people would rather watch a tik tok challenge than watch or learn anything about science, physics, or engineering.
Because of social media and sometimes even main stream media, society has been reduced to validating ones life through likes, clicks, and comments.
If you didn't like this movie, its either because you are stupid, naive, apathetic, ignorant, self-centered, or a trump supporter.
This movie is not even about politics. Its actually just about science and how ridiculous humans are today.
The Gray Man (2022)
WHO WROTE THIS?
Almost turned it off after 20 minutes. Gave it another 10. Game over!
I just couldn't get past the writing. It was beyond bad.
*My review is too short but there is really nothing else to say.
Moonfall (2022)
I'm losing faith in IMDB
Not sure what is wrong with people but this movie is at least a 6.
I admit there are some cheesy moments but even some Oscar winners have those. I can also say that this movie had no emotional impact whatsoever, but it was made to entertain. Not to make you cry. That being said, I've seen way worse movies with better ratings. So I don"t understand all the hate.
Script aside, the acting is good. The graphics are awesome. The cast is awesome.
Its not the most scientifically sound but its not outlandish either.
I cant help but to wonder if the lead actors were replaced by Tom Holland and Zendaya that the rating would be significantly better.
Maybe that is the superficial world we live in.
Dune (2021)
Long and Lame
I could barely get though this movie without falling asleep. Unimpressive, unremarkable and uninteresting.
Just because there is a ton of hype, and social media influencers saying its amazing doesnt mean it is.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
struggling 7
Nothing anyone hasnt seen before.
Its not a bad movie, but its target audience is millennials and under. Way too much CGI for my liking. The movie's attempt to evoke any emotional feelings failed and it was difficult to stay engaged. It was all very generic and unremarkable.
Yellowjackets (2021)
Struggling 5
The people rating this show must be either on crack or teenagers. Or teens on crack.
Not even worth my time to remark on the storyline, writing or acting.
Army of the Dead (2021)
Fail army
Sorry Zack. Total garbage.
Terrible writing and acting.
Annoying characters.
Boring and unremarkable in every way.
Be prepared if you decide to watch it.
Island of Bryan (2019)
Privileged, annoying, fake and nasty.
I used to think Bryan was a decent guy. I have now discerned that he and his wife are nasty people. They are so fake. I feel so bad for the people that work for them.
Tenet (2020)
Tried to watch it twice
Bottom line... scientifically rediculous. Beyond that. The acting is terrible. The story is stupid. The writing is lame.
Stowaway (2021)
Not bad at all
This is one of the rare times i agree more with the legit critics rather than the users.
Its not a 10. But certainly not a 5.5 either.
I dont know what people expect anymore. I wonder if its an ADHD thing.
The characters were good. Good story and writing too.
Sure its a slow burn but not a waste of time in my opinion.
I Care a Lot (2020)
Screw the critics
Im not going to disect this movie. Its not worth it.
I hate critics because they pick apart everything when sometimes movies are just made to entertain. Solid 7
The Dark and the Wicked (2020)
Yawn
Almost fell asleep 3 times.
Not scary at all.
Dumb ending.
Dont waste your time.
Wrong Turn (2021)
No Oscar, but 1 out of 10 is offensive.
A movie that is worth 1 out of 10 I would turn off within 5 minutes.
I watched this flick from start to finish. You could even say i enjoyed it. I dont understand all the hate. Its not the best nor worst movie Ive seen. Its just a fun horror movie.
Your Honor (2020)
Good yet so bad
Good writing. Good acting. Good production.
Sadly thats all it has.
The story is so unbelievable and has so many holes its almost funny.
The end is unsatisfying and just justifies the disappointment you feel throughout the whole show.
Possessor (2020)
Under rated
Think outside the box people. Think artistic. Think deeper than tik tok, instagram, facebook, and tinder.
Great movie and well done for anyone without ADHD.
The Midnight Sky (2020)
Waste of time
I made it through 40 minutes and finally shut it down. Not even remotely interesting or engaging. I was really hoping that something about it would draw me in because i love sci-fi. Maybe i needed to give it more time but i wasnt about to find out. The story wasnt compelling. The characters were boring and 2 dimensional. See for yourself.
The Devil All the Time (2020)
Long and boring
Ill give credit where credit is due... good acting. Well done. Good writing. Otherwise a yawner
If they could have condensed this movie to 90 minutes it might have been alright. Its not about a short attention span... its about keeping my attention. And at that it failed.
Million Dollar Beach House (2020)
This is the world we live in
I was hoping for a mature, extreme real estate show but instead i get jersey shore trying to sell property.
Brutal!
Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Not a big fan of Tom Cruise
But probably one of the best sci-fi movies EVER.
The guy does good movies. Like Oblivion. Give credit where it is due!
World's Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji (2020)
The worlds dumbest race
This show had potential but its is just boring AF. If maybe they added some non-adventurists, some regular people, or some dispisable people it might have been entertaining. Sadly this race is a bunch of boring people that think tubing down some ravine makes them cool and interesting but more likely they just dont fit anywhere in society. At the same time Bear Grylls is probably one of the most annoying personalities on the planet.
The Lodge (2019)
Dont waste your time
Unless you are bored out of your mind, you will waste 2 hours of your life watching this. Ill give credit to some of the acting, where credit is due but thats it.
The Hunt (2020)
Better than the ratings
This is actually a refreshingly good movie. In a time where everyone wants to poke holes in movies, this movie simply delivers a good time. It doesnt take itself too seriously but offers good acting and a good story. Its not trying to win oscars, its just entertaining and thats what we pay for as far as im concerned. Those of you that give it a bad rating should stick to your melodramtic movies. This movie is fun and i wish studios would make more along the same lines. People really need to stop being so damn critical.
Contagion (2011)
I dont understand
I dont understand why this movie is so under rated.
Acting is great. Writing is great. Idea is great. Theres nothing missing.
