Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)
Beautiful scenery, tragic but way too long & no character development
Not a bad movie. However, This story could have been told way no ore effectively in 2 hours instead of 3 1/2 that felt more like 5h. There were way too many long shots that turned the excitement into boredom. Leo's performance was great but his character had no development and did many very contradictory things. In general, there were quite a few drawn out details that had no impact on the story at all. Further, many actions did not make much sense and seemed very out of character. The investigation by the FBI could have also been done in a much more interesting and most importantly exciting way. Overall, it was an underwhelming movie especially considering the tremendous hype for it.
Ted Lasso (2020)
Unfortunate downfall of Ted Lasso
What started as a superb show with clever characters and a funny light hearted dialogue turned into an ideological indoctrination by the middle of season 2. It seems as if the forst season had been well thought out and character development was planned and calculated. After, the show started to preach moral virtues and turn this fun and humorous show into a social justice narrative that has ruined the characters for me. It is a shame but I would recommend people to stop watching this show after season 1. It is always astonishing to me how writers can ruin a wonderful show in an instant. Ted Lasso could have been great but it ended up being a mediocre show with a high and bright start and a very low bottom.
The Sex Lives of College Girls (2021)
Unwatchable
Unfortunately, this show is completely unwatchable. The characters are so flat and the acting is just terrible. Worst of all, however, is the unbelievably awful script. It is so cringe that it can't be overstated. It really feels like it was written by 13 year old high school girls. The whole premise of the show is so off, including all the sexualization of everything but then the moral preaching (e.g., strip show and revenue to combat climate change) - it just makes this show even worse. Overall, it's an unbearable show primarily aimed at young high schoolers. Would be great if they stopped making these generic, awful shows and started making some good ones again.
Grey's Anatomy (2005)
What a terrible terrible show its become
Greys anatomy has always been extraordinarily medically inaccurate, however, it was entertaining and fun for the first 3-4 seasons. Past that it slowly became unbearable to watch.
Jackass 4.5 (2022)
Some funny stunts, mostly disgusting and boring
Too much of the same disgusting stunts, and too little funny, well though out ideas.
The cast is also just too old, it makes it quite a bit cringey.
Definitely not like the original jackass movies.
No Time to Die (2021)
A good action film - a horrible Bond movie.
Overall, a very disappointing. It is lacking almost every ingredient needed to create the fantastic James Bond as we know him.
The plot is all over the place, even absolutely non-sensical at times. JB "Bondish" personality feels completely changed, lacking the flirtatious, womanizing charm, the toughness, and even the style. Whilst Monepenny was an amazing addition to the Bond franchise, feeling natural and strong, the new 007 felt forced and had an awkward/bad chemistry with JB. Additionally, the female characters are all fighting power machines, and can't really be considered Bond Girls. The scene with Paloma was a refreshingly Bond-like interaction with a woman. Nonetheless, Paloma ended up overwhelming a dozen guys in high heels, moving the scene into the ridiculous. The villain was terrifically bad - no proper backstory, no motive, no character development (& a truly disappointing end to the SPECTRE). I don't even want to mention this unforgiving ending.
What's truly spectacular about the movie was the cinematography and car/ chase scenes.
Overall, it is disappointing. Several times, I felt removed from the world of JB by feeling the ideological undertone driving so many parts of it (whether that's with Bond's changed personality, the new 007, Q or even some fighting scenes).
I wish they had kept the original director. We can only hope for a miracle for the next JB film.
The Good Doctor (2017)
Started out well then went downhill
Season 1 was a solidly written and overall interesting show. Unfortunately, from that season onwards the show pushed forward ideological agendas and extremely 'woke' storylines. Ruined the entirety of this show.
The Irregulars (2021)
Disappointed.
Why would you drag Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson into this Sci-Fi TV show. Unfortunately, misses the point.
New Amsterdam (2018)
Predictable and agenda driven
Unfortunately, shows that are driven by a socio-political agenda are never good. This show was so predictable and unrealistic in so many ways that I couldn't watch it anymore. Would most definitely not recommend.
