Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
Jumped the Shark?
Starting to wonder if MCU has jumped the shark. Other than SpiderVerse, recent releases including this one are marginal, sorry. OK for the diehards, but no way does this bring in new fans.
With any Thor flick you expect some humor/tongue in cheek--but too much here. The plot is razor thin with a very suspect ending, the intro of Zeus et al is a good idea but completely wasted! The thunderbolt looks like toy from Dollarama, and the portrayal of Zeus was pathetic.
Why were the Guardians even in here, as towards the end clear opportunities to bring them back in were wasted.
MCU seems to have lost the ability to weave stories together, too many movies (and endless Disney+ junk) with no common thread. MCU desperately needs a new villain (Galactus anyone?) to link movies together. Does anyone think it will be Hercules?
Only good thing--goats were funny and so was Korg. I know this movie had a good weekend, but I went on the 11th and theater was 1/2 full at most.
Marvel (well Disney) needs to shape up fast! I saw this in 3D and again, marginal quality at best and not needed.
Shark Lake (2015)
Shark week anyone?
Look-when you see tha stars and read the plot, you know what you signed up for. Sharknado meets Lake Placid. Dolph mumbles and the graphics look like they came off a Commadore 64.
Not the best.
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
Must see 11 out of 10.
To compare this to the first version is to compare the internet to a 70's encyclopedia Brittanica. 11
Long...yes, but so worth it. So much more character development (see Cyclops and Flash), bonus ending and detail. Bring Snyder back now!
I don't know how Warner screwed it's up, but thank to all of those who led the ground swell to get this released. Please do a sequel and patch it up somehow.
Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
Great childhood monster fun
Look-you know what you have signed up for here. Not stellar acting/plot and so forth-but comic book like action. Critics-relax.
Only drawback were the humans-is Monarch locked down due to Covid? Not sure about our intrepid heroes either as borderline Daphne/Fed and Velma like.
The humans that should get eaten/smashed do so all good as well. Pass the popcorn, sift back and relax.
Bonus points for Godzilla looking nasty!
Christmas at Pemberley Manor (2018)
This is a great movie
I don't understand why these ratings are so low. This movie checks all the Christmas Hallmark boxes. It is my favourite Xmas flick of all time. The couple has chemistry and the supporting actors are great. This movie has humour as well. Is the ending a bit cheesy, sure, but you know what you signed up for. Watch this movie!
Save Yourselves! (2020)
What the hell was that
Very different, at times funny and at times just plain odd. Roll the dice...
Raised by Wolves: The Beginning (2020)
Huh?
I was enjoying this series--a different spin on the end of earth theme. The de-evolving turn was interesting but once "Mother" gives birth--what? How? Huh?
Frankly the finale ruined the season for me and I will think twice about the future, as it was a childish/silly fairy tale like turn.
The Night Clerk (2020)
Can't get that time back
Huh? How can folks rate this positively? Drags, slow ending and very boring. YAWN and Helen Hunt's career has really hit the skids.
Trauma Center (2019)
Die Hard this isn't......
What a mess. What plot, dumb villains and Bruce Willis..what is the point? Save time, watch a rerun of COPS. Bruce Willis must need money for Rumor and Demi.
The Calling (2014)
Dark
Not my favourite-dark and depressing. Never dove into a few characters at all and it was just boring. Pass.
Coffee & Kareem (2020)
Garbage
Language is so offensive it is ridiculous-terrible terrible terrible. Would give it zero if I could.
Here is a spoiler-this movie stinks.
