Riverdale (2017)
Okay first season, then went off rails
The first season of Riverdale was actually enjoyable to watch. The acting wasn't great, but at least the storylines made sense and kept audiences interested. I was very excited going into the second season of the show. It then... I started the season 2. I didnt know what this was, because it appeared as almost an entirely different show. The acting was 10x worse and the plot lines didn't make sense and were convoluted. I won't go into specifics but the writers seemed like not even they knew where the story was going
Next I am going to talk about the casting choice. The casts ages range from 21 to even a 30 year olds playing high school students. They can say the resason they didn't cast teenagers was for more flexibility for shooting the show. But really, they did it sorbet can create soft-core porn with these older actors to avoid underage nudity in their scenes. It would be believable for them I guess to be seniors in high school, but the riverdale actors try to play them off as 15-16 years old! That is ridiculous and it is creating a false image for what 15-16 year olds look like. When a sophomore looks at these 20 some actors playing high school students and then look at themselves, they are different.
Last of all, one thing about riverdale that I hate is the couples. Whenevr I hear the words "Bughead" and "Varchie" I literally want to barf.
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018)
Good plot and story, but cliche elements make it hard to watch sometimes
I really enjoyed this show. The plot line was interesting and engaging and kept me captivated through the show. However much like Riverdale, the cliche people that it portrays make it hard to watch a bit. But I really liked the character arc of Susie's character. Anyway, overall a good show, but with its cringy elements, it isn't great
The Flash (2014)
Awful show
I am writing this review after watching just the first couple episodes of the show and I have to say I am not impressed. There is tons of potential with the character of the flash that is wasted through this awful acting and useless supporting characters. I mean, I could not make it through the the first episode without cringing at stupid characters like Caitlin and Cisco. Their characters are again ruined by terrible acting. I started this show because I thought that the flash was an interesting character, but DC strikes again! Ruining good characters with shoddy plots and mediocre acting (cough cough Justice league). In conclusion, if you like bad acting and pointless plots, watch this show.
Maniac Magee (2003)
Book was good, movie was not
The Maniac Magee book was actually pretty good, but they ruined it with the movie. It is really just cheesy Nickelodeon trash. Also, the special effects are pretty bad. For example, while Maniac is running, all you see is a slur.In the book, he is just a fast funnier, but in the movie they basically turned him into a superhero. They never even mention Grayson, who was in about 1/3 of the book. The director didn't even mention about Maniac being allergic to pizza. The actors didn't really do a good job either. The book would of actually made a good movie but the cast just altered way to much and left out to many important details. In conclusion, this movie was a waste of a perfectly good waste of a plot and I wish I could have spent that time I spent watching the movie doing something else.
