Free Guy (2021)
Solid "Okay" because Ryan Reynolds
The story movement is well paced and has decent character development. Ryan Reynolds is the only reason why this movie is getting a 5 and not a 3.
I did not enjoy the streamers clips portions within the movie. I felt it did not add anything to the movie and if anything took away the from the immersion.
There are also several instances where the movie make deeply political statements and ruins the mood.... You will be like this is an okay movie... then it goes political when it really does not have to...
The product placements was also pretty pour choice for gamers.
Alienware, HP(HyperX), and DXRacer chairs were a few that come to mind. I recommend not buying any of these products.
Alienware is an overpriced plastic melter.
HyperX use to be good when owned by Kingston, HP destroyed the brand with plastic.
DXRacer chairs are not ergonomic and will break in 2 years.
Star Wars: The Bad Batch (2021)
Going Down Hill, New Pirate is useless tool with no purpose
Season one was pretty decent and kept a decent plot rolling. Season two is taking the great foundation of season one and burning it to the ground.
The new Pirate character feels extremely rushed writing wise. The dialogue is poorly written and even with that the voice actor did not catch any scene moods. So plain so boring.
As I write this review we are 4 episodes in, and I am still waiting for the season to begin. The first 4 are quite literally garbage and do not advance the character arks or plot along. Hey were are doing this episodes. Now we are doing this second episode. What do these items do in the greater picture. NOTHING!
The worst part of season two... it leaves the cliff hanger of season 1 completely open. End of season one...DA DA DAAAAAAA.
Start of season two, yea we live, how dun know, how we get off dun know, where are we duh.
Honestly feel like whoever wrote season two is a complete different person with the desire to bend and force the characters and plot to their mind rather then let the characters shape the story.
I Really hope the new pirate gets killed off... or goes off into the galaxy to do their own thing sperate from the bad batch.
Update:
Up to episode 9, every episode is basically its own plot line. There are almost no connections or story ark. Still bad batch is here, bad batch is there, bad batch doing this now.
