Feels like "Lost"

[5/10 · 5 April 2024]

This story feels like "Lost", a great show with an epic let down of an end.

I don't know where this show goes but it looks like it's heading in the same direction: raises lots of questions and doesn't provide all the answers.

Season 2 was not as good as the first one and it looks like they're running out of ideas on where to lead this show.

It's all, in some way, too déjà-vu. A plot leads to another plot and this isn't a problem per se if you know where you're heading ... but I guess they don't.

Perhaps it's best to make the 3rd season the last one and make the good ending it deserves.

Please don't give us a Lost 2.0.

The Burial (II) (2023)

The most anti-climatic movie ever

[6/10 · 21 November 2023]

The whole movie leads to the final statement of the plaintiffs lawyer in the trial ... and we never get to see it, nor how they got to the 400 million punitive damages.

This so frustrating.

We didn't see the strategy play out, we didn't get to see people testifying on how they were mislead and abuse.

We didn't get to see how Gary brought the case home.

We just saw him make the big boss loose his temper and that was it?

At first I thought they would play the real life Gary make his closing argument ... but all we got was a cameo.

This is so frustrating. I would have give the movie a solid 8 but this ruined the whole experience.

The Mother (2023)

Unwatchable

[1/10 · 19 May 2023]

I managed to watch 50 minutes of this crap, but ultimately I gave up.

The plot makes no sense.

Jennifer Lopez as an action star makes no sense.

The action scenes make no sense.

I guess this movie is still better than having testicular cancer but I'm not sure.

What I am sure is that this isn't worth your time, it full of clichés and its as bad ad you probably think such a movie would be.

How many people worked on this scenario?

What a waste os time and money.

Netflix has really lost its way financing such a crap, is this were all the money from the successive raises go?

Seriously Netflix?

Get a grip, this is simply awful.

Invitation to a Murder (2023)

A very cheap Agatha Christie rip off

[2/10 · 29 April 2023]

The movie is probably inspired by "And then there were none" by Agatha Christie in its set up.

But from there it's all too predictable and the actors are terrible.

The plot is as weak as the cast. The loop holes in the story are legion.

I love the whodunnit kind of movies but this is so depressing bad ... so bad that I cried for the time spend watching this crap, minutes of my life that were lost and that I won't get back.

The most positive part of the movie was the single expression "the end".

Please save yourself the depression of watching this poor spectacle of what could have been a decent movie.

Killing Eve: Hello, Losers (2022) Season 4, Episode 8

Such a great show and such a lousy ending

[2/10 · 28 April 2023]

I haven't seen such a bad ending since "Lost". So many unanswered questions, a dubious ending and a nonsensical closure for such a great show.

Wat a waste of time.

This finale seems like a rushed ending, pointless and senseless.

The show deserved so much better.

At least an epilogue would have been welcomed to explain us all the opened plots.

And why didn't they reveal the 12's identities and explain how the came to be what they were.

Why did they gather together in one place? What was so important to them that they had to take the risk?

What about Irina? Why did she contact her dad? What was her role in the 12?

True Story (III) (2021)

Too predictable

[5/10 · 26 November 2021]

After the first episode, I already knew how this would end and the whole plot.

This was so predictable.

A plot the likes of which we've already seen in hundreds of movies and deeply inspired by Alfred Hitchcock style.

Kevin Hart played us part well but this was so unsurprising, so unoriginal ... when is Hollywood going to bring us something new.

Nowadays the best series on Netflix are from Spain or South Correa.

What a massive let down.

Welcome to the South (2010)

You have to speak Italian to enjoy the whole comedy

[9/10 · 17 January 2021]

I consider this comedy even better than the original "Bienvens Chez les Ch'tis". But, in order to totally grasp the humour of this movie, you have to watch it in Italian and know the antagonism between the north of Italy and the south. This is so overwhelming funny and respects the cultural identity of the Italian people.

I absolutely enjoyed it.

Dracula: The Dark Compass (2020) Season 1, Episode 3

A true horror ... but not the horror I expected

[2/10 · 4 January 2020]

This serie started well, I kind of liked the way they revisited Bram Stoker's Dracula.

But this 3rd episode is an absolute disaster.

I must admit that I gave it up before the ending. I haven't seen such a bad writing and episode ... EVER.

This is do awful that it almost makes Sharknado look like an Oscar movie.

What a waste of potential and what a waste of time.

Watch the first 2 episodes but skip the last one and keep an somehow positive impression.

The King (I) (2019)

Make historical movies historical again.

[6/10 · 3 November 2019]

I have mixed fillings about this movie. First of all it's a very nice piece of cinema with an epic and realistic medieval battle.

But ... bloody hell ... when you try to make a movie about an historical caracter why can't you get your facts straight.

The historical facts, as related in this movie, are all wrong.

I know that Americans don't really care about the worlds History and try to make it entertaining instead of relating true events as they actually were.

The battle of Agincourt was a military masterpiece, there is no need for stupid inaccuracies.

Even Shakespeare was more accurate than this.

Make historical movies historical again.

The Hustle (I) (2019)

Watch the original movie and don't waste your time on this.

[3/10 · 22 August 2019]

This movie is a remake of the "Dirty Rotten Scroundels" starring Michael Caine and Steve Martin. I didn't know this when I started watching this movie but then I recognised the plot.

This version has some funny scenes but is in no way comparable to the original.

Save your time and money and go for the original one.

Brightburn (2019)

What a waste of time ...

[3/10 · 8 August 2019]

At first I was excited by the idea of a "dark Superman" but this is so superficial. My deception was as big as the potential of this movie.

A total waste of time and money ...

Us (II) (2019)

What was this????

[1/10 · 27 May 2019]

This movie is pure nonsense, do yourself a favour and pass on this one.

Nobody will give you these hours of your life back.
