The Archies (2023)
Ruined my childhood
"The Archies" Netflix movie, where do I begin? It's quite impressive how you managed to take a beloved comic series and turn it into an absolute flop. Your attempt at capturing the magic of the original characters was like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
Let's start with the acting. It's remarkable how you were able to assemble a cast that made even the most wooden of performances look lively. The lack of chemistry and depth in their portrayals made it seem like they were reading lines off a teleprompter for the first time.
And then there's the story. Or should I say, lack thereof? It's as if the entire plot was thrown together using leftover scraps from rejected teen dramas. It lacked originality, creativity, and any semblance of coherence. It was truly a masterclass in how not to build a compelling narrative.
But perhaps the most disappointing aspect of "The Archies" Netflix movie was the music. How could you take a franchise known for its catchy tunes and deliver such lackluster and forgettable songs? It's like you drained all the energy and fun out of them.
"The Archies" Netflix movie is a prime example of how not to adapt a beloved comic series. It lacked originality, and everything that made the original characters so special. It's a forgettable and uninspiring film that won't leave any lasting impression.
Charlie Chopra & The Mystery of Solang Valley (2023)
Won't recommend.
I Will never get back a few hours of my life back again. As someone who just have to compulsively complete things, it backfired with this series. The star studded lineup is a decepetion, felt like they were being forced to be in the series.
As a lifelong Agatha Christie fan, I was excited when i heard vishal bhardwaj is making this seires. What a disappointment. The acting by lead 'investigator', will make anyone compelled to uninstall the app they are watching it on. The only saving grace of the series are shooting locations. Cinematography is beautifully done, wish they had spend some time in improving music, acting and direction of this series.
Afwaah (2023)
Would have given 0 star, if not for Nawazuddin
Nawazuddin is the only saving grace of this mockery of art we all know as cinema. Director seems to be living in some cuckoo world. I am surprised at the decision of netflix giving it a platform. Netflix India has always made bad choices, but this one takes the cherry.
In this supposedly mystery thriller, the only mystery is how did the director miss so many plot holes and the only 'thrill' you will get from this movie is at the end, when you are thrilled, this movie is over.
A total waste of time, can watch if you have nothing to do, and have nothing else to watch. Smoke your favorite grass and go for it. Pls dont watch in sober mode. You will regret it.
