National Treasure: Edge of History (2022)
Oh dear!
Disney at the moment,seem to be very good at turning gold into plastic.
The original two films had a good atmosphere and interesting storyline,along with Nicolas cage,who has in own following for good reasons.
His character was slightly dysfunctional while at the same time being highly intelligent and passionate about history,which viewers love.
So hearing about the release of the mini series had my hope's up that the adventure from the previous films would continue,but it wasn't to be.
The characters in this new offering are bland,one dimensional who are there to simply meet a quota and to just fill time.
Another big opportunity missed by Disney who's back catalogue of work is slowly being filled with mediocre productions.
Elizabeth: The Unseen Queen (2022)
Very moving personal account
It's a rare moment to listen to the queen speaking about her upbringing and personal thoughts which accompany some amazing pictures and film footage which have not been seen by the public.
Fascinating,emotional and worth watching.
Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
Ok for the under 10 year olds
Nothing wrong with films that are easy on the brain,but this takes it too far.
The long long fighting scene has the same choreography as a child playing out battles with their toys.
It's a film for kids,but not grown up kids.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: One World, One People (2021)
Too serious and melancholy for a superhero movie
They are all fine actors in this series,but unfortunately the studio has allowed this series to be used as a vehicle for some other than fun and excitement.
The Mandalorian (2019)
We need more Mandalorian!
I wont attempt a full review,as others here have done much better than I can do.
But the Mandalorian series not only has it's own great story,but it also takes background characters from the original starwars and brings them into the Mandalorian story,which makes this series familiar,but yet still fresh,without feeling like some rerun of past films.
The main character,does have charisma,even thought he keeps his helmet on just about all the time,and is likeable once you get to know him a little.But thankfully there is still many things you dont know about him in this first series,which is for good affect.
The special effect are not only great,but are used to help tell the story rather than overshadow it with mindless fight scenes.
The best compliment I can give,is once you finished watching the first series,you just watch to watch more.
The War of the Worlds (2019)
Slow boring slow
The third installment of BBCs war of the worlds has just finished.
The only thing that was consistent over the three episodes was how slow and boring it is.
It reminds me of a really long perfume advert,but with less dramatics.
I was really looking forward to enjoying this version,but unfortunately a real disappointment.
