Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)
2 words, Kathleen Kennedy, I would give it zero if i could.
Kathleen Kennedy, binned the script that would have made Kenobi a hit because it was too dark. Instead she brought in a new writer to make a lighter, woke script that demotes Kenobi to a secondary character and disregards Star Wars canon. The result is the continuation of Disney's destruction of Star Wars. Do yourself a favour and avoid at all costs.
Here We Go (2020)
Exactly what you should expect from BBC "comedy" in woke 2022.
This car crash of a show is what happens when you can no longer make actual jokes. You get boring, un funny shows.
Add the shaky cam style and it makes this boring and unwatchable.
Great job BBC.
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021)
THIS IS NOT HE-MAN
Do yourself a favour and just watch the originals.
Why do production companies insist on paying to use the names of successful tv shows and then making a completely different program that only has faint suggestions of the original.
I'll tell you why, because if they didnt the show wouldnt even get produced.
This is not He-Man.
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983)
My favourite tv show growing up
What a fantastic cartoon, he-man was. It had everything for children to get lost in a FANTASY adventure. If only we could make quality tv like this in 2022.
Buddy Games (2019)
Another boring unfunny film churned out by Hollywood.
Really boring, unfunny apparent comedy, The final scenes are clearly jumbled together by worried executives trying to add scenes to tick all the required boxes, before the final ending which is just weird, unnecessary and doesn't provide an ending.
Please, end the mindless box ticking and concentrate on making decent films.
This film is neither a comedy nor any good. Save yourself the wasted time.
Frozen (2010)
Could have been great....
This film could have been great, it has a hot bird for the guys a hot guy for the woman, the acting is decent enough for a relatively unheard of cast, but sadly it is is badly let down by a script that has too many unbelievable aspects, that build and build to an outlandish ending that leaves you let down and disappointed.
Spoiler alert don't read below if you want to watch the film:
The fact wolves are not in New England is not an issue, its a film so artistic license is expected and allowed. However if you are going to make stuff up why not go with a mountain lion, that have been known to randomly attack and kill humans, wolves do not.
The events that lead up to the the chair lift being stopped with the guys on it, shouldn't and needn't have mentioned "only 3 more guys to come down" as this would never happen as the flags with closed seats are the lift empty signal. But the confusion of swapping one dumb staff member with another dumbo who needed to pee was enough with artistic license to make this plausible.
The only open at the weekends issue, could be plausible for a small resort at the beginning,end of the season, so a quick line by the cast could have rectified this quite easily.
Dan jumping onto snow which was rock hard ice within minutes of him throwing his snowboard into fresh snow was stupid, they could have had him land on some exposed rock by losing control whilst falling and this would have been solved this problem.
Before the wolves showed up, Dan made no attempt to crawl away to get his board as a means to slide the mountain. Dan decided the best way to get the scarf was to lunge forwards so as to rip his leg bone further out of his leg, rather than crawl on his stomach with his perfectly good arms. The cold and the adrenalin in his body would have made the pain lessen, which he even mentions. The scenes between Dan jumping and being eaten are just bad.
Dan being attacked and eaten by wolves was believable due to him being badly injured and bleeding, although you wouldn't bleed that much in the freezing cold. Dan could have at least made some attempt to get away rather than just allowing himself to be eaten alive, this was just ridiculous. Again a mountain lion would have made for a more dramatic scene.
Lift cables are not razor sharp. - what engineering purpose would this serve except ripping the engineers hands to shreds during maintenance and repair.
No-one would put their skin onto freezing cold metal Wolves wouldn't, couldn't chase and kill an uninjured human especially one on a snowboard and with ski poles to beat the wolves away.
Anyone that doesn't ski would not have known that the body at the end was Lynch as the only give away was the ski boots, why not have shown his green coat as well, why not go the whole hog and show his face on a mauled torso, there was no need to leave this uncertainty, it achieved nothing.
Parker had to get down in the end but after all the bad luck these guys had had, for the bolt to come miraculously undone on its own, then for the safety cable which is designed to withstand multiple tons of pressure decides to split apart was too much and just made me groan.
Parker who has hurt ONE FOOT after being surprisingly hit by the chair lift apparently is unable to walk at all and has to crawl, although somehow can stand up in some scenes of her descent down the mountain. This is just plain bizarre.
Parker happens upon the body of Lynch being eaten by Wolves, yet for some unknown reason these human hunting and eating wolves, just look at her and let her crawl on by. Now you could say the wolves were full, but they same amount of time had clearly past between them eating Dan and chasing and killing an uninjured Lynch. Yet they would let an injured (laugh) Parker just pass by.
The ending is also weird as though in a cliffhanger style ending but there is no real cliffhanger. If they wanted to end dramatically they should have ended the film when Parker got to the road and collapsed, and then thrown up the Frozen title and dramatic music. this would have given a had she died, was she rescued, did the Wolves come back to get her cliffhanger.
All in all the film started well, then either due to money constraints, bad script writing, knowledge of skiing, ski-resorts, it was badly finished. You should always allow artistic license but when you have unrealistic plot line after another you just become annoyed and bored.
