Dune: Part Two (2024)
WTF! Yuck!
I gave this mess of a film 4 stars simply on the weight of the special effects and cinematography. The worm riding was the best part of the film. The interaction between the main characters are shallow and most often miss the main themes of the source material.
And why did tge director change one of the main plot points? Paul's sister Alia is born early with all the Bene Gesserit powers. She kills Vladimir Harkonin, not Paul. This completely changes the story line, and not in a good way.
I thought the first movie was a snooze fest, but kept telling myself "just wait until Part 2 when all the action happens. " Was I wrong.
I will never trust Denis Villeneuve again.
The Mandalorian (2019)
Gack!!! Disney ruins another series
How can an entertainment company botch up a good series so badly? Just compare the first few episodes of season one with any of the dreadful episodes of season 3. Season 3=garbage dialog, linear plot, awful directing ( especially wasting the talent of Giancarlo Esposito) and losing any connection the audience had with Grogu. Grogu really has little to do with the show, except coo and now saying "No" "Yes'" over and over again. No wonder why so Mandalorians wear helmets all the time: they don't want their face associated with the crappy dialog.
It's like watching reruns of Teletubbies, but maybe a bit worse - my kids aren't entertained.
Doctor Who (2005)
You've Killed the Doctor!
The first episode was weak on plot, and quite derivative - did the writers think that no one saw Predators? OK, we'll give them a pass. Most Doctors need a few shows to get into a grove. But there is no excuse for the preachy crap that they're pretending it's a science fiction show. The plots are dull, there is no underlying plot arcs, and the companions are boring. Bring on more seasons of the Expanse.
