Infinitum: Subject Unknown (2021)
Worst movie I've watched to this day.
First of all, there is no story. They started having the idea of filming a movie with an Iphone. That's it. Nothing constructive, nothing that makes sense, no build-up to an ending. No information whatsoever.
Every attempt into making this movie (if we can even call it that) interesting turns out to be a dead end and never spoken about again.
This might be the worst movie I've seen in my 35 years of existence.
I feel like this movie is going to be the next Rick Roll for the internet.
If you want to feel like you've wasted 1h25min, go watch this movie. It will be perfect.
They should lock up or sue the people who made this.
WandaVision: All-New Halloween Spooktacular! (2021)
Only 5 min of new material every 40 min eps
Oh Boy... where to start. First of all, I'm a big Marvel fan. But I don't like the pace at which this is going.
Basically every episode so far hasn't added anything to the storyline since episode 1.
Episode 1 will let you know that:
- Wanda is in a tv-show.
- People in the show are being controlled by Wanda
After that, you will be presented with more of the same. Trying to create some mystery which isn't working because we already know the mystery. We as a viewer know what the problem is from episode 1. So why stretch the same problem over 6 episodes?
Really, think about it. What have you learned in six (30-40min) episodes? Because it's nothing. In the later episodes they "reveal" cliffhangers that are making no sense, because you already knew the stuff they reveal.
Cliffhangers/Reveals:
- The people can't leave (of course not, why would they stay under those conditions)
- Vision / Brother Pedro are different from the rest (they are dead, so yeah...)
- Vision can't leave the perimeter (of course not, he's created by Wanda because he's dead)
- Her power has a limit (of course, because we know about a real world and her world. The only thing they added was that her control near the border is reduced to people being in stasis)
So people, asside from the nostalgic first episodes (which I loved, especially the "Malcolm in the Middle" part) why are people rating this series so high?
Oh, I almost forgot. Why did the Sword Boss Man suddenly become "evil"? He seemed like a likeable person the first time we meet him. And the second time we see him, he's super arrogant and wants to murder everything he sees? Great storytelling...
Honestly, I think most people that write good reviews just watch this series and think: Wow cool, Wow Different, Well made! But they pay no attention to the actual storyline and dialogues. Or else they wouldn't give this series more than 3 stars.
This almost seemed like a rant, I'm sorry. I just think it's a missed chance, I really wanted to enjoy this series.
WandaVision (2021)
Ignore people telling you to watch untill Ep 5.
The series gets 3 stars because of the acting/costumes/music. It is spot on.
But storywise, this is a very very VERY slow paced series.
The problem is that with half a brain you could figure out the main plot of the show in about 10-15 min. Yet they keep repeating the same "mystery" for 4 more 40 min. episodes.
Imagine having to sit through 3 hours of "mystery" which has been solved already.
I hope the last 4 episodes will make up for it. If it doesn't, these 3 stars are generous
American Gods: Moon Shadow (2019)
Wrong pacing
Visuals, Acting, Directing are all superb. But the lack of "release" is becoming a problem. I was willing to wait an entire season to get some form of action/release from all the buildup.
But this season just made things worse, NOTHING happens of any significance. It's 50 min for an entire episode, with 10 min. of quality storyline.
It's becoming a drag. Don't think I'll be this patient ever again with a series. Disappointing.
Derren Brown: Miracle (2016)
10min per trick (75 min for 8 tricks)
I've seen all of his shows, but in this one he seemed a bit out of ideas. The tricks were mostly simple and easy to decipher. Most of the time he'll be building up and building up and... building up, just to show a disappointing finale.
Maybe I expected more from him, but I really didn't enjoy anything from this show. It was basically him trying really hard to get everyone in the same state of mind, just to show of some lazy simple street-art trick.
I rate this a 2 / 10 just for his effort / energy.
The Defenders (2017)
Bad, from the beginning till the very end.
I'll start by saying that I'm a huge Marvel fan. I mean. I got excited when they would announce a new Marvel comic being filmed. Every time I couldn't wait to see the new movies/Series. But lately I've been getting the feeling that there isn't much effort put into the movies/series anymore. They are produced half-assed. With scripts that are ready for "the Bold & the Beautiful"-soaps. A couple of things that irritated me throughout the entire series of The Defenders.
*) Luke Cage and Iron Fist can't act. They both suck at acting (not my opinion, just a fact). It doesn't help that their lines are badly written, but the way they act out any emotion is just sad. Iron Fist will repeat (over 3 times) to enemies who are laughing at him that he is in fact the Iron Fist and they should take him seriously. Right before getting his ass kicked. He talks like a 14 y/o teenager who just doesn't get taken seriously by the adults. "but...but... I'm the Iron Fist?" *insert angry look*.
*) Luke Cage, his character will never make sense to me. The guy is basically Supermans lil' bitch brother. He makes ridiculous choices the entire time. Needed 4 other people to really convince him that the bad guys should be destroyed. Also, the guy took a shotgun shot to the face AND took a rocket launcher full blast to the stomach... but hear this. He dodges swords. Yes people the guy with the indestructible skin will dodge sword-impacts. (ex. Bar fight). At that moment I knew the series had fallen to an all time low.
*) 50 mins per episode.It's a drag. I know it's the new hype but please... fill it with story line and not just longer bullshit conversations that add no contribution to the story. This makes it difficult to binge watch. Some (more boring) parts take too long. I mean the parts where they have to explain every single thing that has happened and is going to happen so the viewer doesn't have to think too much. Because that would be a disaster for the audience they are trying to attract.
Anyway, If you feel like wasting 8 hours of your life this series is your answer.
Legion (2017)
Again, a nice try.
I've seen this mistake happen so many times before. They try to keep the story- line "mysterious", but have no clue in what direction to go. When the Pilot-Episode has plot holes in it, even before the plot would start to develop you know you've made a bad choice.
Series like "Lost" & "The OA" have made us very aware of these trends. Now I think most people can detect a plot less series from the pilot. This series does exactly that. It has no way of even giving an inch of what the plot is supposed to be. Beside that, it also has some contradictory scenes the writer won't be able to explain. So why bother? Also, 1+ hour for an episode is too long. Like many other series the story is written for 30 min. video. Yet it seems to be a new trend to not have series below 45min. anymore.
I advice to stop watching or not even watch the series at all. My 1 point is for the people working at their CGI department. They are the only positive thing about the series.
