Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)
I can understand pretty much any rating 0-9 for this
Disney is a joke and should be embarrassed at all the dumb little things they did for no reason. A lot of it was so easily avoidable it's borderline infuriating
The epicness of the originals plus the money, budget, and tech of Disney mean nobody can argue against the people giving it 0-5 stars. Again, Disney is a joke, they need to clear everyone out and start over.
Once you stomach the above and ignore those aspects it is overall still enjoyable. I read reviews and was going to never watch it, that would have been a big mistake
There was a lot of great acting (Obi-Wan, Leah, '3rd sister', Leah's dad) and some other quite weak acting
The very high level story / plot was ok. The choices of how most scenes played out and/or random little things in the scenes were so stupid, amateurish, unrealistic, baffling
There were a some really good fight scenes, backdrops, and other cool things. It's like there was one smart person coming up with amazing stuff but they were overruled by some other clueless moron (probably who was higher up at Disney) for 85%+ of the runtime
As with all Star Wars movies I wish it was 90%+ Jedi / force stuff action movie fighting, space battles, etc. Probably will never see that because DiSnEy but who knows - Mandelorian and Force Awakens were incredible.
I'll give it a 7/10 because Jedi/force/space stuff is cool but like I said can understand anyone giving it 2-9. There's one scene that is such a cool force usage that that scene alone gets the whole show to at least 2 stars. 10 just no way, too many totally stupid things there's absolutely no excuse for including time or budget.
Which reminds me they even dubbed over Obi-Wan's voice for one word in one scene and it was so obviously some other dude and so horribly overlaid a best buy employee could have done better on their lunch break.
Legends (2014)
Everything except Sean Bean is terrible
Awful plot with tons of flaws. Bad acting except Sean. No plot flow whatsoever, all over the place. Struggled through but wish I never watched it. Lots of filming flaws too. I was generous giving it 6/10, would be 3/10 without Sean. Since I have to write more characters I'll also say it's awkward with all the time swapping for story telling. I don't understand the higher reviews. Yes would have been a decent idea for a show but they made it borderline nonsensical. Director was either force rushed or is way incompetent. It's really ridiculous I have to type this many characters just to post a review.
Qie shi tian xia (2022)
Flabbergasted
I'm a US person that watches and has seen way too many shows and movies. Tons of not subtitled and subtitled. Forget even the fact this is Asian or Chinese. This is some of the best plot and acting there is. Plus really good sets and action. I don't even know how to describe how much I like this show, so will just say I'd be super interested to hear anyones argument that it doesn't deserve an IMDb 10/10.
Barry (2018)
S3E8 Intro sound clip of a the football interception was hysterical.
S3E8 Intro sound clip of a the football interception was hysterical. Doesn't even make sense but fantastic. Trying to reach 150 characters. How about now.
Extraction (2020)
Ignore the 6.7 rating
Dramatically underrated. 10/10. Mind blowing gunfights and close quarter combat. John Wick -ish but probably better action choreography. Some real good acting by the Indian kid and Thor between long amazing action sequences.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
7.5 score??
This whole movie was garbage except Ben Kingsley's tiny part which was hilarious. Insult of a marvel movie. Way dragged out. Horrible script, horrible plot, horrible acting.
Reacher (2022)
8.4 rating??? I had to abort after 5 episodes
I basically never abort shows or movies. I couldn't watch episode 6. Boring trash characters. Plot isn't even plot it's just inexplicable mysteries one after another endlessly. Just so boring and pointless. I can't stand listening to them even talk anymore.
Shi fu (2015)
What?
Most of the time I rate Kung fu movies quite a bit higher than the IMDb average. This one just totally lost me. It was really slow with not much fighting and not much training. I couldn't follow the plot at all and honestly have no idea what happened. I can't tell who the main villain was. The small number of fight scenes were pretty weak. During the climax fight scene on the climax move if you replay it slowly you can see his knife doesn't even go within a foot of the guy he killed with the "cool" move. Really bad it was almost 2 hours long too. Of nothingness.
Don't Look Up (2021)
You're Ignorant if you give this less than 10
It was difficult to enjoy because it's so true and depressing. Ultimately will probably result in a net increase in backfire effect in those who watch it. Maybe DiCaprio got data on that and it's not true so he did it. Who knows. Almost half of the votes on 10 star reviews were thumbs down which is depressing. Maybe they were bots? It'll get the Trumptards pretty riled up.
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
IMDB is being too hard on it
I thought it was better than a lot of the other dumpster movies out there the past few years. If you like the mind twistiness of the original matrix then watch it through that lens and you'll probably like it. Given the first trilogy went how it did plot wise, I thought this was a great followup. And plausible if you're trying to imagine what AI would do if the first 3 movies went how they did.
The Protégé (2021)
Dumb and not entertaining
The plot is bad / illogical / nonexistent. Lots of scenes that were totally pointless and confusing. The acting wasn't awful but the fight scenes were pretty dumb. Literally 75-90lb woman kills multiple 250lb elite mercenaries hand to hand 4+ vs 1 over and over. All weapons have unlimited ammo and there are a few scenes shooting pistols and sub machine guns for over a minute without stopping, never mind reloading. I'm pretty easy to entertain with action fight movies but this just did nothing.
For All Mankind: Rules of Engagement (2021)
One of the best seens I've ever scene
Overall I'd give this show a 6-7 so far, but this episode was an 11. Kovacs (watch Altered Carbon) and Karen nailed it.
The Blacklist: Misère (2021)
Someone put this dumpster fire out already
This show has fallen off a cliff. Was this all so Keene could go get more plastic surgery? She's now an entirely different person than season 1, might as well have just cast a different actress. James Spader must be beside himself that he still has to be a part of this. I'm about to just stop watching this show, it's been so bad season 7 and 8 (and 6? Seems like it's been the same delusional garbage for a while now). Not even sure what's going on anymore I just like Spader's dialogues.
Jack Ryan (2018)
Season 2 = insulting
As everyone else states, season 2 was miserable. Having watched both seasons, I wish I had watched zero seasons
