Mortal Engines (2018)
Too many analogies and metaphores
A predatory London, overwhelming smaller nations with advanced technology with the predominance of its caucasian populus cheering and supporting from the ramparts. The exceptions being a few enlightened youngsters and repatriated characters who are suddenly appalled by the reality and fight against it. The brave multicultural opposition who accept all and believe love and peace are the way.... This movie was too busy trying to make statements, it forget to be an enjoyable movie.
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Sadly..... weak
Disappointed is the only word I can use to describe my feelings after viewing.
Where was the magnificence of the first film?
It seemed like the film was actually made in 1984. unconvincing stunt work with obvious dummies and CGI that seemed like it was straight from the era. Amazons whos swinging and jumps look like bad, period correct CGI and big end fight scenes that hides its shame with cloaked darkness with fast cuts. Considering all the extra time given from the delays... this should not be necessary.
The final cherry being the preachy ending, where WW not only rights the wrongs, but convinces multiple races of zealots to renounce their hatred, end nuclear proliferation and brings water and peace to the middle east...
My teen daughter asked to leave after 20 minutes, my son slept... I stayed in the hope of the film getting better... it didn't.
T2 Trainspotting (2017)
Train crash, reharsh
What a disappointment. Was this a pity movie for the sake of the mates?
It went out of its way to replay variations on just about every element of the original... just for the sake of it.
The ending was obvious to the point of painful and suddenly the worst of them is a genius.
Diesel Brothers (2016)
Season 2 is starting strong
I am glad to see Diesel Brother back for more episodes. We are only just into the start of season 2 (in my country)... but it's a strong start and a definite return to the basics that the end of season 1 seemed to lose. Stay the course guys, your builds are great, the team dynamic is fun to watch and there is no need to overly promote your stuff... we see it when you build. I really wish that the show continues to build on the basis of big, fun trucks for the everyman rather than fake promotional builds, as season 1 ended doing. Keep it up guys, great fun to watch... when you stay true to your passion. Cheers
