I really like it
I really loved the animated version. The best part i've only seen it once so i don't remember most of it but i really enjoyed it.
Now that i'm watching the love action without much memory of the original, i'm really enjoying it. It's like reliving the show bit wit a completely different feel.
Things i like
Pace if fast enough
It's not a complete replica so it's a new experience but the nostalgia is still there
I'm currently enjoying it as much as the anime
I think they caught the essence of every characters.
Hard to match animation but i think this one is pretty amazing so far into episode 5.
Ghosted (2023)
It got better after 50 minutea
Started very slow and typical for some reason on the 50th minute it suddenly got better.
I tried multiple times. The beginning was very cliche and very slow. Also very predictable but the 50th minute mark the story got better funny and interesting.
Unfortunately, i have to admit not everyone will survive the first boring part.
Good enough to past the time. Not worth the subscription, though. Only watch it because of the month free from uber.
Definitely fun as long as you shut off your brain and just enjoy the ride. Enjoy the bounty hunters they were amazing. Actually the best part of the movie.
Good Omens (2019)
Well that was a forced ending
I loved season 1. But for some reason season 2 had a better charm.
Everything was well written up to 5 minutes before the credit roll. I feel like they forced it to just check the agenda tickbox.
The main characters, the side characters, the actual twist in the real ending was amazing.
Good omen has an amazing way of challenging the dogma of right or wrong in a playful light hearted way.
Something good omen tackles really well is the overratedness of life after death. The world is beautiful. Sure it has it's craziness but to be fair if you get over the silliness it is a beautiful life. The show was very inspiring for some reason and made write this review.
In the end love almost always conquers all.
Astérix & Obélix : L'empire du milieu (2023)
Was it great writing? No. Was it hilarious definitely is!
Writing was somewhat expected but the puns and i just can't put my finger on it but something about the movie definitely clicked. My wife and I were laughing non stop. It just worked. The supporting cast were all great. I have to say the weakest part of the storyline are the two main characters. Too cliche. But the other casts and their background stories. Simply hilarious. I think what i like the most was that it was just a storytelling movie. There to entertain. Just like the movies i used to watch when i was younger. Fun to watch no logic just pure entertainment.
I say shut off your brain and let the puns and predictability of the movie take you for a fun ride.
Ted Lasso (2020)
Season 1 10/10 rest meh
Season one was awesome! It was a perfect balance of simple lightheartedness and some complexity of a slice of life show. It was also a fun sport series comesy drama with a bit of a cliche but the characters and their background stories are so entertaining. It was an absolute fun to watch i binged the whole season in one day.
It's amazing what writers and story tellers can do when you let them make their art without an agenda. They just do what they do best tell stories and entertain is to escape reality.
I won't be surprise if jason sudiekis had this inspiration from the movie we're the millers and acted like ned flanders. He was awesome lights up the room like a ray of sunshine
Season 2 episode 1 picked up where it left first in the first few episodes. It was great then episode 3 showed up. The "agenda" is starting to show in the episode, it was still written nicely to make it as a solidarity move. But it's already becoming preachy and too politcal for my taste. I was not able to finish the episode and just gave up on the series.
Quite disappointing. For some reason they keep forcing preachy content on our entertainment to escape reality.
Season 1 must watch for sure. The best thing about it you can watch season 1 and still be extremely satisfied and entertained.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
Stop overthinking and enjoy- i changed my mind it sucks
Editing my original review. It's terrible. I'm sorry, i gave it a chance. It's just terrible
If you put aside bias and preconceived hatred in our reality. I can say that this show is quite promising.
Story is still slow because it's setting up the story (i hope) Ofcourse some cliches and some of the story has been written before. But i enjoyed it and i'm actually looking forward to the next episodes.
Dialogues same as other fantasies of good vs evil.
Yes, some lack in originality and the usual inteoduction of characters.
Not alot of breathtaking moments other than the ending of episode 2. Which i think is quite a way to get people hooked
That said sometimes it's just a nice escape from reality
Looking forward to more characters and stories.
Me Time (2022)
I watched it with an open mind
I watched it with an open mind. My expectations were bery very low but boy oh boy was i disappointed.
I don't even know how to describe it. I'm not sure who wrote it and why they wrote it.
It just did not make any sense. I know comedy and time passers are meant for that but this one had absolutely no direction. It was just terrible and i enjoy all the will ferrell and adam sandler movies even the most stupid and horrible ones because i'm just there to take my mind off the real world.
I watched the whole thing and i was hoping for atleast one laugh but seriously
I would rather read all the stupidity in twitter than watch this movie.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
I like it!
Not perfect because of some plotholes and a few cliches but very very entertaining. I liked it a lot. Definitely a different type of marvel which is pretty awesome.
Great jump facto to in some scenes.
