The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
It's bad...
It's bad. The CGI scenes are amazing, but it feels disjointed when you see the cheap props and costumes. The dialogue choices are bad. The writing is bad. The elves don't feel like elves, but more like humans with pointy ears. I want to rip the compost out of the hair of the Harfoots, and give them a shampoo. The low production quality of their village made me laugh out loud. Galadriel is most disappointing aspect of this show. She is unlikable and cold with few redeeming qualities. She is a broodish captain Ahab looking for his white whale, and the hell with anyone or anything that gets in her way. Disappointed, but as I expected.
The Gray Man (2022)
Jason Bornesk soft hearted spy thriller.
Great movie! Wow, I can't believe this was on Netflix?!?!?!?! Has the universe started to self correct from insanity? Thank you for this Netflix! Now that's something I've never said, ever... It's nice just to enjoy a movie for once without overt political identity politics ripping you out of the immersion. Please give me more of this pure entertainment stuff!
Cobra Kai: The Rise (2021)
Weak ending...
I don't get it. What happened to the writers for this show. Johnny's student just quits... Absolutely the worst writing I've seen making this season worst than last season. This series is progressively getting worst after the first two seasons. What a disappointment.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
During a pandemic, winter surge, new variant, mandates, and lockdowns.
The theaters are packed, because it's the first good movie made this year. Critics can't hide behind "pandemic" excuses to explain away bad movies that focus on diversity, and sending messages over good story telling anymore. This was non-stop fan fare the whole time! TAKE NOTE CRITICS AND DISNEY! THANK YOU SONY!
The Witcher: A Grain of Truth (2021)
This is the best episode of the season
This episode is so good, it gets you hyped up for the rest of the season, but sadly the rest of the season can't stand up to this episode. It has magic, mystery, and monsters! Right off the bat you notice the production quality has greatly improved over last season. This episode shows that simplicity is amazing when done correctly.
Lucifer: Nothing Ever Changes Around Here (2021)
This is what happens when idiological messaging over creativity happens... Cancelled...
Season 5 was brilliant! This season is filled with political messages... Keep the Politics out of entertainment. What happened to escapism... . . .
Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021)
Decent Action Movie
Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow Origin story really. It's about a middle of the pack action movie. Good fight scenes, but could have used better writing. If you like G. I. Joe then this wasn't a bad movie. I would recommend giving it a watch.
Wrath of Man (2021)
Sit back and enjoy proper escapism!
Simply put, satisfying! With the incredible amount of sifting through the garbage that is today's terrible movies, this is a precious gem! Don't watch any reviews, just it play! Watch it now, and enjoy!
The Suicide Squad (2021)
It's a 1 and done...
It's good to watch it 1 time, and be done with it. It's a middle of the road film. It's no guardians of the galaxy, and it's definitely not a traditional DC film. It lacks the authenticity of what I've come to expect from the DCU, which makes you believe in world of real people fill with super powered beings. Definitely some political leanings in it and irrelevant story telling that lacked impact for the viewer. I'm only emotionally attached to Harley Quinn and Flag, because of the previous suicide squad, which I think is a slightly better movie in a different way. Damn, the degradation of movies sucks. How I long to be excited to see something new again.
The Tomorrow War (2021)
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
The Good: Chris Prat is the lead actor.
The Bad: Chris Prat could have had some better lines, and surrounding characters could have been fleshed out better. Some politics themes are present, like global warming.
The Ugly: Like many movies these days, there is a lack of subject knowledge experts to advise the writers and directors. Military, Scientist, Astrophysicists would all help this movie be better.
Comments: If you catch a buzz, and don't think about the time travel too hard, it's an okay Alien bashing action movie.
Superman & Lois (2021)
11 Episodes in, and it's probably the best Sci-fi TV series of this decade.
It's really is well written, directed, and acted. Sometimes I'm afraid it will go off the rails with certain themes trying to check social check boxes, but it comes right back where it should be. This is the best written TV show in maybe a decade. Considering the awful identity politics going on in Hollywood, I can't believe this show is even possible. This is proper escapism!
