The Marvels (2023)
Who did they make this for...
Bypass the acting, it's fine and it's not there fault..
The plot holes are endless, but most irritating is the power switch, it's a plot device of convenience and I just have no idea why...
The villain, Dar-Benn has zero gravitas, has zero presence and she's just MEH.
That's the story of this film, it's completely meh, it feels like a poorly written mid-season filler of a film.
It's not funny, it's not thrilling, it's not really anything..
The singing people .. that's interesting? To 10 year olds maybe?
This film just lacks purpose, it lacks an audience and was the last straw for me - Disney+ is cancelled and sadly, Marvel is dead.
5 of my top 10 movies of all time are Marvel, but that companies gone. Sad.
Life on Our Planet (2023)
It would be a 10, if Planet Earth didn't exist..
As a stand alone, this programme is very good. A bit repetitive at times, with what feels like the start of each being the ending of the one before.
The time periods are brilliant, however it can feel a bit jumpy - casually jumping the odd 100 million years or so hear and there! Don't get me wrong, in general it's a brilliantly executed bit of TV..
the graphics in the most part are awesome
But, as per the title, Planet Earth 1/2/3 exist to which each is a phenomenal marvel which this can't quite reach, yet?
It does have things planet earth doesn't, seeing the visual graphic of the extinctions or the ancient mammals is incredible ..
Awesome show. Just isn't Attenborough.
Don't Worry Darling (2022)
Mmmm... Ok.
I was getting really into this film, it was intriguing, the acting was pretty good and the the sets and premises of the film is really cool. Then the plot holes started to unravel.
Like, the hallucinations seemed to have zero relevance in what actually happened..
Why do men die but women don't when in victory?
What were the earthquakes?
Why did nobody look for the missing women, surely they had other people ..
Does he have to continually keep her on a drip for nourishment and wipe her ass? Or is she wearing a nappy? Weird.
I think there is a really good film in the concept, it just happens that they didn't quite get to it...
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
Roast Chicken Crisps ...
The rings of power is like roast chicken crisps.
No one hates roast chicken crisps, no one loves roast chicken crisps (stop lying to yourself)..
You eat them, because you've already bought the multi pack....
LOTR is one of the best trilogies of all time, the cheese and onion, the salt and vinegar, even the wotsit of film and TV. I'm watching the TROP, because I've already bought into the multi pack, I'm peckish, but it's a terrible snack, but it'll do.
There's nothing good about it, except it being so very pretty. Apart from the packet, on the packet, it's just as pleasing as those cheese and onion crisps; but sadly, when opened; it's disappointing, but it'll do.
If you're sat there wondering if you should watch it; just think to yourself, just how peckish am I tonight.
Help (2021)
Powerful. Brilliant.
A powerful, heart wrenching and brilliantly made film. Makes you truly think and see a different side to such a sad coin. Phenomenal acting from both leads. Brilliant.
Mare of Easttown (2021)
Brilliant series; average ending.
I loved this series all the way to the final episode..
Suspense, drama and a really great performance from the lead. But the final episode left me a bit.. bored & underwhelmed. Shame really, a good ending would have made this a 10/10.
Army of the Dead (2021)
Shocking.
The film is pointless; it didn't need to happen.
It's illogical and literally trips it's self up.
But, the robot zombies? The fact he managed to travel down the hotel, across the city and up the other hotel in the time the helicopter flies over.. incredible.
Film is dumb, just dumb rubbish.
Mortal Kombat (2021)
FATALITY! It's what I wanted!
Anyone going into this expecting an Oscar nominated drama; you're an idiot.
This is what I wanted to see, a fun, action packed fight film that left a massive smile on my face! I love they actually threw stupid over the top Fatalities in their. Cool film!!
FATALITY!!
Without Remorse (2021)
One of the ones who didn't read the book..
As an action film, it's good. I've seen better, I've seen a lot worse. Certainly worth a watch. Some moments that'll make you properly smile for the action. Plus, MBJ is so cool who really cares about anything else! :)
