Stranger Things: Chapter Seven: The Massacre at Hawkins Lab (2022)
Best story-writing in a show since Breaking Bad, by far the best season to date
Absolutely brilliant, captivating, thrilling TV. But this season so far has blown all the other seasons totally out the water.
The 'reveal' moments in this season are so well crafted and told, they are hard to guess yet make complete sense and don't tarnish the previous story, in fact, it enhances it rather tremendously.
Right up till the end, you don't realize what these moments are, but each one hits you with super intense eureka effects.
Ava (2020)
One of the worst plots to a movie ever, if there even was one
Absolute garbage, how can people that have jobs in cinema write stuff this poor?
The plot revolves around a hitman organisation, where one man believes 'Ava', who is a hit woman in the organisation is too dangerous to be on the team.
Therefore, their way to resolve this is to kill each other. That's it.
Ava and said hitman have a fight at the end and the hitman lets her go.
Her response is to chase him and kill him, how is that fair? He literally just let you go and said he won't chase you anymore, yet your decision is to throw all that away and kill a family man, who had kids, and re-light the war. Then what happens? We've got no idea, disaster of a movie.
The Walking Dead: Mercy (2017)
An absolute joke of an episode, actually made me angry.
So the walking dead usually has it's blonde moments. Many of these come in the form of poor writing, which makes all situations and arguments that unfold totally unconvincing and frankly dumb. But even they, have outdone themselves in this one.
The whole plan is just a pile of turd. All the main leaders of the saviours were standing there like cattle ready to be killed, and he counts down from 10 and misses? Why on earth did Negan just walk out there? ARE WE ALL STUPID?
Then the rest waste all the bullets on shooting the windows? You spent 1 whole season getting guns to fire them in the air?! Where on earth did they even get that many bullets?! Yes they found guns, but bullets is a whole different story.
All this is done while Rick has the worst smile on his face ever, suggesting his plan is fool-proof, which is just hilarious.
I wont even talk about Gabriel and Rick's encounter because it's not even worth me saying, you know how terrible it was. Did Gabriel really convince Rick of something in that moment? once again, insulting to the viewers. And like everyone is saying, he had a gun, shoot him.
Why lure loads of Zombies there anyway? It's just a really long winded and stupid way of fighting them, they might just flee and then you won't know where to go, or where they've gone.
The episode where Rick and Michonne ran over a load of zombies with a long wire from car to car, this episode trumps that.
Just for reference, simple writing errors, when Rick is talking to Negan, he should 100% be aiming down his sights, as should everyone else, it's just lazy writing to make him stand there like he's not smart, he's a survivor?
Why did negan suddenly come out of the building injured? Did AMC not have enough budget to actually show us some fighting action? What on earth did the money go on this episode? Just the explosions for Daryl?
Oh man, shaking my head throughout the whole episode on how badly the writers insulted our intelligence by making the characters make the stupidest, and also completely uncharacteristic moves.
The Walking Dead: Spend (2015)
The Mystery of Alexandria
That was much more like it. The death scenes seem to have gone up a level here. Much more gruesome. Which, if you are into that, enjoy. The general pace of this episode was much quicker, basing around a typical run, to fetch supplies, which ends in the loss of a newly found character.
This whole scene I think, was stand out, however I think everything we see and experience had a cast of doubt over it, due to the Mysteries that are held in Alexandria. As for the plot, it is keeping it's cards close to it's chest still. Another cagey episode, keeping everything about Alexandria remained hidden, if there is anything at all....
An important part to this episode is the Priest. He warns the community of the group, implying they are the devil in disguise.....hmmmmmmmm.....backstabber
My favorite thing about this series currently is the tension being built up in Alexandria.. It feels as though we are leading up to something. The camera-work, music (especially) and setting, allow you to have suspicions yourself throughout abut Alexandria, who to trust, who not to trust. In other words, it's typical walking dead.
Great episode.
The Guvnors (2014)
Had potential, but becomes a fight with no consistent story-line as it develops.
I thought the trailer looked fairly good for this, so was excited to see this one. I was pretty disappointed with how it turned out. The characters seem to be very a-drift and nothing really comes together. We are left thinking a lot of questions. There is a lot of the typical hard-man action, but at the end it just looks like load of 15 year old boys fighting their Dads. We didn't rally get chance to meet any of the characters, and we stayed fairly distant from them throughout.
What I did enjoy was some of the actors performances despite the broken script. It saved the film for me to an extent and made it OK to watch.
Overall, nothing new here, a load of people hating another load of people that have a big fight somewhere very public at the end. But some of the performances make it watchable.
