Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Chapters: Special 2 (2023)
unoriginal, wimpy and senseless...at least for me. read first to allow me to explain
I understand the cyclical aspect of what they try to say with the ending...and it doesnt bother me as much as some people. But three things bothers me alot. First, it reminds me so much of the watchmen ending...I mean, the need to villainize someone or something with mass destruction to ensure unity. I'm sure there must be other comics, mangas, graphic novels, film or series that does the same thing and did it first, but to me it reminds me to Watchmen. And it bothers me, because Watchmen did it so much better! Second thing that bothers me is Eren's reaction to his demise. Given the nature of the powers of the attack titan, he was acting so sure of himself, so asertive... just to crack like a little baby in his last moments!? I understand that people can break down, especially in high stake situations like this, but again, given the nature of the powers of the attack titan it seems rather pointless his outburst...point taken Eren was kind of emotional before everything came into motion, but not to that level... it feels out of character and cringe worthy. The need to make a more sympathetic villain is ruining bad guys. The words hero and villain has no meaning in grey areas... not every character must be a merge of the both... to me Eren died for nothing! Again, not because of the cyclical meaning of war among humanity, that i liked it... but he died for nothing in the sense of how he accomplish what he wanted... he died a wimpy villain try to be a martyr and without free will... and thats the last thing I dont like of this ending... if Eren regrets everything that he's done, but can't change it because is "all for the better" why not search for a better solution with the same friends that he so fondly remarks as wise and loving? And in the same thought, if he can't change it because of how the powers of the attack titan worked, who put everything in motion?either way, Eren give up his free will as a fool or there's not an answer to all this mess and that is just bad writing. On a technical level the music, the battles and the voice acting, everything was great as always... and the story arcs and closure of other characters were good. It's not a great ending for me, but it's not bad by any means...
Heartstopper (2022)
Healthy and Cute!!๐
Slight spoilers... I'm so happy to see a series where clichรฉs are avoided. Is exhausting to see some characters do stupid things... if only they speak honestly, or they didn't get angry for the tiny offenses like is the worst thing... non of that is in this series and is all the better for that. For example in many series and movies the crush is confused or trying to be nice with a girl who likes him, and at some point she kiss him, the one who has the crush sees them and we have drama, they get angry, they distance themselfs, but here i was expecting that, and it didn't happend!. The way the whole situation was handled it was like is supposed to. No one got overly angry, the felings of all 3 parties involved where taking into consideration and speak honestly about it. The drama comes from real issues... the felings of self worth, based on past expiriences or the questioning of our own sexuality and how that could affect not only themself but also the rest...and all of that is wrap in so much cuteness. Don't get me wrong, the more explicit content is necesary, and i mean, nudity, bulling, tormented relationships, loneliness, etc... but is such a breath of fresh air to see just something that is like a fairy tale and a helthy one. I haven't reed the graphic novel that the series is based on, but i will now... the temes of friendship, self worth, healthy relationships, parenting support, teachers advice, stand up to bulling, taking in account the other persons feelings, check for themself when you are confused and not just rush into action, all that Is masterfully displayed here. The acting is good, as the direction, writing and soundtrack of the series...I have only good things to say about this series!!
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
A bold meta middle finger to nostalgia craving that Is not for everyone!
A self aware movie; in this times where nostalgia is raging it's so refreshing to see used here in a meta commentary about how silly and cash grab it can be...i love the movie, but don't get me wrong, is a divisive movie. A lot of people are gonna hated it, and i can understand why... it has an univen scrip, a lack of action scenes, some acting problems and a shift in tone that is all over the place...but the heart of it all it's still there...the chemestry between Keanu and Carrie is still pounding hard, and lana as a director still manages to frame beatiful shots...like the oracle said in the matrix revolutions: "some bits you lose, some bits you keep"...if you love the first one and have mayor problems with the rest of them, this is not for you, dont even bother...but if you find something in the secuels worth your time, your not gonna regret seeing this movie...
Zoey's Extraordinary Christmas (2021)
Great as F---!!๐ ๐
The cast is amazing in this roles! And this just prove how much this could continue...but if is not, this placed a nice bow around the two amazing seasons we have... there's a handful of surprises ( in particular if you watched the finale of season two, they explore in more depth what happend and how to deal with it) and of course the songs! And yes some minor issues with the script and lengt but for who ever was a fan of the show this is a nice gift that only left us wanting more... this special, along with the Grinch ( jim Carrey's version) and home alone are now sinonimous of christmas for me.
On the Fringe of Wild (2021)
disappointed ๐
I really wanted to like this movie ... in fact I live for these kinds of movies ... but it was impossible. First, the Romeo and Juliet comparison is not accurate at all. Second, the movie is full of bad and over the top acting. And third the plot, character motivations and actions doesn't make sense at all... it's all a big mess. I'm sad to say this, but dont waste your time with this movie.
How I Met Your Mother: Last Forever: Part Two (2014)
A Lebenslangerschicksalsschatz of a finale
I really like this ending .... but maybe not for the reasons I have seen in some of the reviews here.
First, as many have stated, I believe that life is never as one expects it, and idealizing a "happy" ending is part of the complaints of many, but it cannot be denied that in real life a happy ending, even when it is not impossible, it is unlikely. Now if we talk about personal tastes I think that for me, I would have liked to see Barney stay with Queen and not Robin ... and not because I think they had not made a good couple, Barney and Robin, but because Ted was telling the story... and in an attempt to explain to his children why he wants to get back with Robin, he left Barney as the villain. I love the show, but I hate Ted. But if you think about it, that's life ... and as much as I loved the mother (Tracy), I think what wins for me is the story behind Robin and Ted. it started with them and it ended with them ... another thing I like, is that I was not disappointed in how they met ... the interaction between Ted and the Mother is perfect. No one could complain about how they met ... and even though I would have liked the Mother to had more prominence in the series as a whole, I don't think I'm disappointed with what they showed us about her ... her participation in the last season was the icing on the cake. And finally, even though I can understand that perhaps they lengthened the series a lot, that they did not deliver the happy ending, that they gave too much importance to relationships that were not going to work, I cannot help but applaud the fact that, that ending was planned with so much anticipation , and what was in between was fitting perfectly, regardless of whether they had thought of everything in between or even if they had thought about how they were going to meet. so for me this finale is like something that happens instantaneously, it courses through me like the water of a river after a storm... filling me and emptying me all at once. I feel it throughout my body...in my hands...in "simple" words: Lebenslangerschicksalsschatz
