The Killer (2023)
Its Netflix, so expect boring and cheaply made
When i say cheaply made, i mean that they have expensive sets but sit on each for an extremely long time. Pad the run time. I expected more from Fincher, but maybe he likes money. Can't blame him. Fassbender is ok, he serves the script fine. I saw the names Fincher and Fassbender and thought it would be interesting. Then I saw the Netflix logo and was in two minds about wanting to watch it. Usually, I avoid netflix movies for the same reason as stated above. Should have known better. Imdb really needs to have a way to filter out netflix movies from their recommendation pages. Would make life so much better.
Mind Trap (1989)
This is the Primer of bad movies
Before this movie, i judged bad movies on a single dimension but now, i realise that there is a new dimension of stupidity. Just like the number system has real and imaginary numbers, this movie shows you that there is a new way to understand movies. I have no idea what this dimension is and or understand its meaning. Because I have just watched this movie and have lost the few brain cells that i had left. If you turn away for 2 minutes, you will lose your idea of whats going on and will have to start the movie over again. This movie is so ambitious and complex that Peter Jackson turned it down because he wanted something easy.
Ôdishon (1999)
Overrated
This was 75% filler that describes the D.E.N.N.I.S. system. Then 25% weird. Its not an interesting film at all. No motivation for the lead and no conclusion.
Gotham (2014)
Uncreative second half
The first three seasons are great. Loads of characters mask the poor character development. The last two seasons, this problem becomes apparent. Betrayal is obvious and repetitive. The characters don't grow. I stuck around for one plot of the few in the show otherwise i would have bailed. Sadly i was disappointed with it.
I think they only had 1 or 2 seasons of story but sold 5 seasons.
Tiger King (2020)
Average wierdo documentary but stretched out over 5 hours
This could have been a 90min or 2hr show. Why did they need to stretch it out to a series?
The content is ok at best.
China Salesman (2017)
Greatest movie
My friends and i watched this movie and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was like watching a corporate marketing video directed to a foxxconn employee. Propaganda about how the west are corrupt war lords, africa always needing help and chinese always being honest hardworking MacGyvers.
The subtitles we're from another movie. The credits were written by the same engrish sign writer.
Chinese movies don't follow a typical 3 act sequence. This had about 8. And subplots are resolved immediately.
My favorite part was when the main guy walks through a war zone but no one hurts him because he's Chinese and Chinese people are friends of the world.
If you don't watch it, you should check into a re-education camp.
Love, Death & Robots (2019)
Great animation. Poor story.
I watched the first 3 episodes. The initial reaction was the animation. Highly detailed and you can see the effort that went into every shot.
There wasn't much of a story any interesting characters. Im sure that they could have made it better because animation is expensive. Spend some of that on writers.
I don't understand why other reviews give it a 10. Maybe those users have never seen a good movie or maybe they actively avoid engaging their brain.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016)
This movie will make you angry
Dictators play this movie to soldiers before a genocide because it will enrage anyone that watches it. The plot holes and mistakes this movie makes are so huge and obvious that you know the producers didnt care about it. They knew they can get a few million dollars from alibaba, make a dumb movie in front of a green screen, add poorly made cgi everything and sell it back to China for a huge profit. This movie has such a low opinion of the audience, it wonders why the audience hasn't eaten their own excrement.
If you value your sanity, avoid.
