Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (2023)
Xmas Easter Egg
I laughed a lot watching this giant SF Parody.
Rebel Moon part one is an aggregate of references to other movies, an Easter Egg for Xmas.
You can try to chase all the references: of course Star Wars, but also Full Metal Jacket, Dune, the Fifth Element, the Lord of the Ring, Matrix, Warhammer 40K,... some friends told me about Harry Potter (?) and I feel bad not finding the Western movies references...
If you were hoping for a movie with it's own saga, it's a mistake.
This is only for the show and to intricate Cinema into itself -- wait, no -- into Netflix* for the present case ; what did I tell you about parody ?!
Foundation: Why the Gods Made Wine (2023)
Lost pace, universe and narrative
Season 1 used to be poetic with a well imbricated narrative, a part of magical, emotions stories, new world stories, adventure ; everything a SF enthusiastic would crave for, plus a bit of action.
New season is very slow with a juxtaposition of irrelevant events and characters. Slow isn't always a disadvantage, but here the pace is lost, no more narrative, and today episode is void in the end.
Add to that No inner voice, the magical is lost and still wondering if it's a SF experience. Inexistant character development and new ones are empty ; writers as much as directors and actors don't even know where they go.
In addition to that, as if time travel (as usual) was already not a huge problem for the story, as back&future-lashes are, we now have telekinetic power so we don't know what is real or not, when or where it happens.
It's a huge disappointment to have killed this serie, even more seeing it has been 2 years of work for this.
Something is very wrong in cinema and serie "industries".
Nope (2022)
How to lose 2h of your life
No plot for this 2h Tv-movie about UFO (? Not sure it's the theme).
Nothing of interest at all.
And very cringe !yeeks! With fake m*sturbation hipe they try to create (I think... Not sure it can be labeled as "creation/creativity")
Don't lose your time.
I don't know who has been crazy enough to invest money in this... and sincerely hope we won't see that kind of thing again.
Script: negative ; Direction: poor ; Plot: none ; Decor, Costume, photo: none ; Acting: poor ; Interest: none ; Rating: 1.
Humm... This title doesn't require 600 characters-long review ahahah... Stop messing with me and readers.
House of the Dragon: The Rogue Prince (2022)
Emptiness at its best
Well, like 1st episode, nothing to tell or to show. Director made it so boring that even an History book is more interesting.
I read a comment on another platform saying House of the Dragon not being Heroic Fantasy ; I cannot agree more, just drama with decorating, wigs, swords-and-dragons, free- gore and nudity.
Please shorten the suffering.
Direction is a mess ; acting still very average ; plot and script would receive a negative mark. Costumes, photography, 3D-Fx are bad. I really deeply regret that I cannot find anything good or of interest about the show.
« Kill me, so do it, I will be done with all this bother. »
House of the Dragon: The Heirs of the Dragon (2022)
Yet Another Tarantino's style Mast*rbation
Everything is too much: wigs, acting, free violence, brothel, Daemon's dragon (what a joke !)
Except what matters: plot and character development.
A girl who wants to be a boy, who loves a stranger knight and become queen. Wow, never seen before ! But we don't know more...
Same for Daemon
Let's not speak about other "characters" ; we cannot say anything about them anyway.
Long useless scenes of knights tournament
Some stupid mast*urbation scenes : violent birth, stop motion in brothel,...
Some Tarantino's style directors should be ban to work against cinematography !
Cheap dialogs
Very average acting
It's the first episode and production seems already tired, out of breath, with nothing to say or to show.
Utterly disappointing
But I like HF :(
Westworld: Fidelity (2022)
Too average for Westworld
Too predictable, No epic, No music.
Formal seasons intermediate episodes had new technologies and metaphysical questions ; we just get on the skin and don't seek deeper here, which make last couple episodes very average for what we were used to.
Still hope for Ecstasy of Gold in the two remaining episodes, for now I'm just hungry !!
Westworld: The Auguries (2022)
Who can rate a premiere of Westworld?
Well, we all know that a premiere of a Westworld season cannot be rated, except afterward.
Plot is well deployed ; atmosphere and rythm, Sounds FX and music, cynicism and poetry, ... all ingredients are here to enjoy the show we missed.
Technically, just one scene between Caleb and his wife is too long and cheesy.
We want to know about the floor lamp, parallel/computed(?) dimension, the final intro globe and ofc ""William"" and Bernard.
Can't wait next week !
The Northman (2022)
Quite challenging to make a movie w/o a director
Well, this is very bad. Direction is awful (cannot even cut 2 scenes properly, imagine the rest of the show... no don't). Non-nordic actors make it not possible to believe in (ultimate facepalm). Bad acting. Lot of mix between nordic and other cultures (celts, germans,...) which make it very poor. No story, at all ! I don't know what was the goal except making money using Vikings' serie hype... Run away from this.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part VI (2022)
Is it the best you can do Disney ?
Cheap story (+ that does not match original one). Cheap filters (but seems to be the trend to ruin shows with them (cf. See, ... etc)). This is so embarrassing ... Why buy a "franchise" to bring it so low ? : (
The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor (2022)
Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla III
Concludes perfectly the mess, as announced...
Let's pretend we didn't watch this serie, and it was not Boba Fett.
Hopefully I skipped the episodes not mandatory to understand The Mandalorian story ; another Di$ney way to force people to watch and pay for garbage.
The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 2: The Tribes of Tatooine (2022)
Cheap parodic show
If you want to laugh in front of a Z-serie,
Be our guest.
I won't watch the rest of the episodes of this pathetic and blasphemic $h*t. Nothing of interest to get out of this...
The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 1: Stranger in a Strange Land (2021)
How could we get so low...
If you like Star Wars (or even SF), keep away from this pretty well announced to be Z-Serie.
Plot: 1/10
Acting: 1/10
Costume: 3/10
Photo: 1/10
Directing: 1/10
Interest: 0/10.
