The Wonder Years (2021)
Could have been better
I love the premise of the show. As a black American with solid roots in the South, I was disappointed that they opt'd to not have the actors speak with southern accents.
While I love Dule Hill as Burton Guster, his character was a miscast, in my opinion. It would have been better if he used his own speaking voice versus the one he chose.
I do appreciate the topics they discussed, as I found them very relevant and relatable to my life; however, I believe they should have made it about a family in the 80s vs the 60s. Would have been great to see a Cosby Show 2.0 but not trying to actually BE the Cosby Show. I believe it would have definitely been more relatable to a wider audience.
Birth of the Dragon (2016)
Needed more Bruce and less McKee
This movie would have been so much better without McKee as a central character. When we see Bruce Lee, we want to see fighting. It could have been better if they had more scenes with Lee and Master Wong Jack Man, like in the club. The chemistry between the two was excellent and comedic, too. I found myself laughing at Master Wong Jack Man several times. Both he and Bruce were perfectly casted. However, too much time was spent building up McKee as a "great white savior," who was really just a born-dog chasing Chinese tail with blatant disregard for her safety. He was so busy trying to get laid that he didn't care whose life he put in danger or how he manipulated people to get his way.
