The Lost World (1999)
Rare lack of talent on all fronts
I kept looking for some indications that this was a joke, but I just can't find if. Must be my mistake. I am sure the writers loved those terrible adventure movies from the 60's but they didn't manage to convey any of that love to this series, which has a completely uninspired script and plot and musical score. The dialog if just idiotic, the scenery is no doubt borrowed from some old movie studio, who made Jules Verne stuff back in those days and the pace of the series is so off, it at times just seems like a trailer for something that shouldn't have been made. Watch and dispair at your own leisure.
Skylines (2020)
I feel sorry for the actors
It must be so embarrassing for them, looking back back on their career choices in a few years time.
A Discovery of Witches (2018)
Nothing but a badly written romantic novel
Horrible writing. It's nothing but cliché after cliché.
Exceptionally obvious politically correct: The young innocent but strong female witch protagonist, bound by destiny to the old but still good looking vampire who will fight the world for her. The three races - vampires, witches and demons - are all racists against each other, but the mixed couple will not accept the old ways of suppressing love and thus against all odds will face the Goliathan opposition.
If you like "Glamour" in slightly darker colours - this is for you.
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (2016)
Clichés and mainstream boredom
This is what happens when something of some subtlety is made for the mainstream. In order to secure that everybody can find it funny all characters are caricatures of clichés so utterly without any depth that even good actors are without a change to make watching it interesting. It is not funny to let people talk with funny obviously theatrical voices, move in tiny little movements to show that they are weird or distracted. It's not funny to have characters stating the same over and over again to show that they have a stupid dialogue. It's not funny to make characters overly stupid. It's simply not funny - it's just obvious. The sound work is actually equally bad. All the music and effects are there only for their cliché meaning. This is trying so hard to be "special", that it was embarrassing and I eventually found it impossible to watch. No creative persons where involved I fear. Only money making producers.
