Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
Even My Mom Cringed
It's the worst movie I've ever seen. I did have expectations after coming from the other 3 Thor movies which were decreasingly good, but still good enough for me to enjoy them. Sadly, this movie feels like it was made for 3-11 year olds, which is probably why it does have a high rating even if it is painful to watch for most people.
Even my mother cringed when watching it as she was expecting something more epic instead of this. The movie doesn't take itself seriously, and the plot is so weird. Just throw a thousand ideas into one movie and tie it together. The part with the kids feels so incredibly cheap, like something taken strange from Disney channel.
I think the biggest flop is that they tried to make it family friendly, but in doing that, they successfully made a movie for younger kids while totally forgetting about older fans (I'm thinking 14 and up).
Trolltider - Legenden om Bergatrollet (2023)
Mixed quality, good try!
Trolltider is an advent calendar series with a pretty mixed quality. While I understand that the budget was quite slim (probably), the world of the trolls is quite boring, cheap and simplified.
The backgrounds are blurred in many cases which seem to have been a way to get away with making things less detailed. Then there's the troll village, that is quite decently made, but it lacks in size and you can tell that they had to reuse a very small area a lot of times in the series.
Also, whenever we are in the trolls world, it feels like a sitcom, and when it's in the human world, it feels more movielike. I don't know if it was a concious effort to make it this way, but the troll world comes of as cheap.
The stone trolls look like something from a show 20 years ago, as they lack any realism and horror that they are supposed to portray. And while it is a family show, they should have dared to make them much more menacing. I can't imagine a 5 year old being scared of them, which might have been the idea, but I also can't imagine a 5 year old even understanding that they are the enemy. They are simply too dull, inanimate, and doesnt seem to be the threat they are portrayed as whatsoever.
Overall, it's a pretty mixed bag. The story is great and most of the actors are great, but it's not quite there. I really wish it had more runtime as 10 minutes is too short for many to get emotionally invested and I also wish they threw some more resources on it. It feels like they went almost all in with it, but I think everyone wants SVT to go ALL IN, as they did last year, with a convincing world that felt much bigger, lifelike, and where there was a real sense of danger.
Snøfall (2016)
Best Advent Calendar!
I don't know why, but when Snøfall first debuted, I found myself on NRK as a Swede. I'd been tired of the poor productions in Sweden and I was searching for something to lift my christmas spirit. And I really seem to have been in the right place at the right time. Because damn, it's the best advent calendar I've ever seen.
The story is unusually good and thought out and it feels more like a family movie instead of a low budget series. What really makes it solid is that there was love and care put into the production, and how phenomenal the actors are.
This is the work of people truly going all in to create something great that compared to similar shows, doesnt go down just like water. The story has depth and emotions and it's clearly evident in how Snofall represents the joy and imagination, while the real world is a boring and sad place.
I even found myself shedding a tear or two and it really stuck with me for a long time. When I found out that they were creating Snøfall 2 I understood that I wasnt the only one in the world who loved the show. And I think it was a wise decision to go at it again. The world is already there and the characters are too good to let go of.
Andor (2022)
What The Star Wars Franchise Desperately Needed
Finally a Star Wars series worth the time. The plot and pacing is phenomenal and the acting is impeccable. Many other Star Wars flicks feel light-hearted despite trying to come off as brutal. But this series actually sets the tone.
In many ways, this has much more in common with the original Star Wars from back in the day, than many of the newer spin-offs. Though it does lack light sabers.
It's just so weird that after watching so many Star Wars productions, here's a take one that feels more real than everything else.
It's better than the Mandalorian despite it's slightly lower rating on IMDB.
South Park: Cock Magic (2014)
Absolutely Hilarious!
I thought this episode was hilarious and i was laughing through the entire thing. Its just as silly and dumb as you want a Southpark episode to be.
Even for the ones that might not know what the main story is about, there's a just as funny side-story to it all, just to top it all off!
While i thought the previous episode "Grounded Vindahoop" was a bad episode measured in South Park standards. I truly enjoyed this one, and I'm giving it a 10/10, as i can't see how a South Park episode in 20 minutes could get any funnier then this.
A truly great episode!
South Park: Freemium Isn't Free (2014)
Best episode this Season
Once again, the team behind South Park manages to tell a perfect story about a current issue. The Southpark episode is definitely enough to satisfy even though, its not a top 10 best episode. It is the best episode so far this season.
The writers have succeeded in understanding their audience from the first episode. They keep it coming and they keep coming about with interesting topics for SouthPark to be about. This episde has a perfect mix of comedy, reality and fiction.
Though, perfect choice of characters, plot twists and intensity makes this episode worth watching.
Im giving this episode a perfect 8 out of 10.
The Big Bang Theory: The Expedition Approximation (2014)
Don't waste your time! Its more precious then this.
There was a time when i liked this series, now i don't like it anymore. My friends were also once fans, but their interest has blown away with the last few seasons. With the writers failing to understand what their audience wants and the actors getting more payed for being part of something worse.
I never watch this show live, and i wouldn't think it would be worth the ads nowadays even. I find myself fast forwarding more and more, through the pointless argumentation's between boring characters and jokes that we've all heard before. Its like they got 50 set of jokes, and then they do some wordplay, to end up with 500.
Some characters don't even serve a purpose, as i get a feeling they dilute the more funny scenes with Sheldon, with the boring talks between the other characters. If you've seen this episode, imagine, we cut away the mine simulation scenes. They are not too funny, but its the funniest scenes in the episode. If we cut those away, there's nothing left, literally nothing. I badly wanted to laugh, but i didn't.
The story does progress through the seasons and I'm not sure if its for the better or worse. The underlying storyline isn't interesting, i mean, what will happen next, a new breakup? It doesn't matter anymore, the writers may not be better or worse then they were 5 years ago, but they are clearly not moving forward.
The biggest change this season so far, is Pennys hair and Sheldon's change of research field. I couldn't care less about the love- relations between the characters, as that was never really what the show was about in the first place. Now its all about that! Are they trying to appeal more to girls or what is this? Everyone i know, and yes, also females, believe the show was better before.
I believe that at some point the writers thought, oh, we need to change what the show is about, so that we can appeal to a wider audience. Well, just put it down, the series has been damaged and is never coming back in my eyes.
Im giving this one a 2 out of 10. Its a waste of time to watch this, they don't even succeed in making 22 minutes worth of good comedy.
BioShock Infinite (2013)
A 21th Century Masterpiece!
This is by far the best game that i have ever played. I have never played any other Bioshock game then Infinite, but now things changed. After years of having my brother talking about how good the original Bioshock was i felt extremely tempted to try Infinite. I bought the game and i would never in the world imagine that i would be left willing to easily pay 500$ for it instead of the 60$. Much like a painting on the wall this is a classic and it is so extremely good that i could hang the physical game up on the wall just to get reminded of the wonderful story this game has to offer. To get these feelings from playing a game is very rare and extremely beautiful. You will be in despair sometimes, you might get slightly depressed, you will fall in love, you will be scared. You will build up an emotional bond between Elisabeth that just makes you want her to be OK and safe.
I am very unfamiliar with FPS games and i don't play very much. However, this game catches your attention within minutes and you just can stop playing until its finished. I can almost guarantee you that you will be left with questions and a kind of enlightenment after this finishing the game. However as many other have agreed on. It will take more then one run to truly understand everything. It's not very different from movies such as Inception (even if this is not a movie), which you might wanna see 2 times to fully understand the story.
I am left as a Ken Levine fan and i am also left almost crying. These games are so rare and i have never seen anything like it in my entire life and i really, truly hope that i will see more creations of Ken Levine. He said in an interview that after the release he would go on a long vacation. 6 years in making the game, well... He truly deserves it.
There is no words that can describe how much i recommend this game. It is a masterpiece and i have never seen anything like it. I finished the game 4 days ago and that rush you get after finishing it is still here.
Ken Levine and everyone involved in this game. I hope they earned a lot of money because they totally deserved it! Love to them!
A+++
