High Life (2018)
utter utter Garbage, trash, rubish
Well what can I say.. this stinks, in every aspect, special effects utterly pathetic, narrative non existent, nonsensical plot coupled with what can only be described as poorly ad lib script! Patterson does it again by producing what can only be described as something you would want to scrape off your shoe.
I do wonder how directors like this are classed as "darlings" of the critics when all they produce is well nonsense! I am really struggling here how anyone one could give this above 1 star at all? There was nothing, not one thing in it it was not even a film. People watch this utter rubbish and want to come off intelligent so come out with how its existentialism, or some other excuse to justify why this stuff is produced.
Leave the World Behind (2023)
just a bad movie
This was just an awful film near enough all the characters where annoying and I mean irritating beyond belief! The reactions are all just beyond moronic! I'm jsut amazed that the likes of Ethan Hawk and Julia Roberts actually read the script and thought this was a good idea!
Nothing they said or done or their actions made any sense!
The music/sound did not match the mood that it was setting and at no point did I feel that it was threatening. Even at the beginning with the boat coming towards the it was that slow that even me and my other half jsut said we would of been off the beach well before hit!
Then there was the tesla self driving part! I would of just drove on the dirt on the side of the road instead of driving towards the cars and playing dodgems!
Everyone seems to panic without anything actually happening. It was just poorly written poorly filmed with silly camera angles. For no reason other than to try and disoriented you to make you think something funny was happening!
Damsel (2024)
Ok(ish) but very perdictable!
Watched this with the other half, she fell asleep after the first 45 mins which isn't bad for her!
The plot was very paper thin also very predictable. Could see the ending before we even got to the dragon also the reasoning behind why the dragon wanted sacrifices! It was mildly entertaining. Although typically it showed all the men as either weak and timid from the original king to the current one who says nothing, to the prince who is a coward to Ray Winstone's character who has an extremely weak part in this film being a bad father, but it shows all the women bad or good in a strong dominant roll... just another one of those films that are ruined by misandry for the sake of elevating the female characters! The bit I did like was the cat and mouse part of the dragon and princess in the caves! Although the size of the dragon changes throughout which really makes it loose perspective. Though the voice of the dragon was very well cast done by the same actress who played Gozer in Ghostbusters afterlife!
Haunt (2019)
Another boring "horror" film
Yet another predictable and boring film with more plot holes and maguffens than you can shake a stick at. The only reason his is now at the top of Netflix is because there nothing else to watch.
The usual unrealistic actions of those that are being terrorised. Without spoilers, let's just say you will be saying why on earth did someone do that or or go back against some one with a gun when they only have a bat.... what makes a horror scary is either jump scares or being put in a position where you think there is really no way out. If the characters do things that you your self would do and still come to their grisly end!
The Creator (2023)
too many plot holes to make any sense
As many have already wrote the film has too many plot holes, not jsut small ones but huge gaping grand cannon ones! These aren't your usual cant explain their own science type of holes where they contradict these are just blatant ones! Such as people sudden change on how they act for no reason what so ever. There are many many times that the humans could of just ended it and won! I think they where after people caring for the AI's but in the end you don't care for the humans or the AI's. Even Joshua the main character you get frustrated with the way he acts as it makes no sense, no underlying reasoning behind why he acts the way he does. Special Powers of Wi-Fi It can do what my Alexa can do.... oh no
That coupled with the stereotypical Americans/The west is bad the AIs and Asians good and supressed, down trodden, usual Hollywood left wing nonsense!
Unfortunately just another bland boring preachy story with some good special effects typical of what's coming out of Hollywood...
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
Another Bait and Switch
Yet another Hollywood bait and switch, with another annoying female being elevated by showing up the main male protagonist right through the movie always showing Indy up over and over again. The story tried to use nostalgia but it failed dramatically! I cant believe someone actually tried to justify it by saying you don't have to believe the haters... its an awful film with an equally awful agenda, you watch it and you see this!
This was worse than the crystal Skull and that is saying something.
This didn't and should not of been made. That was proven when it made a huge loss at the box office!
Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (2023)
Why are these films being made!!
What an incoherent mess... the entire story is just nonsense. The motivations of the characters is just ridiculous. The acting is pathetic. The agents are worse. What is going on how did this get above a 1 star there is nothing redeeming at all. They have pushed yet another female character beating up blokes twice the size of them. It's eye rolling.
The usual slow motion that was great for the likes of 300, over used for very boring fight scenes... I mean the scene with the spider and the badly copied light sabers was just laughable along with the usual end speeches after a kill or a task complete again just why.
I had to turn it off at the colseum part I just though what a waste of everyone's time.
Talk to Me (2022)
Very Very Boring! not scary or really a horror!
Well very disappointing, Not scary, boring! The conversations are clunky. The characters are unlikable. The acting is dismal there reactions to what's going on is not what would happen in reality.
The very basic concept sounds great but that's where anything that can be considered remotely good stops. Really does not have anything going for it as a film or a horror! No jump scares, no gore, no suspense, nothing just flat and bland, kind of like watching neighbours or home and away!
Anyway I am running out of adjectives to describe this poor movie. Oh there's a new one to help hit the mandatory 600 word count!
Totally Killer (2023)
Another awful movie for morons
Well yet another politically correct mess wrapped up and packaged and missed as entertainment. I can say the 80s where far and wide a much better time than now (in general) people didn't take offence at literally anything and everything, horror comedies where funny, and well watching a film was entertaining not some very thinly veiled PC nonsense. We live in a word now where people are more afraid to be who they are than ever, speak their mind in public and risk being "cancelled" at every turn at least back then you can speak your mind and critsasim was acceptable part of society. In this film it seems to push all the usual inane content over any substance of entertainment. It seems to be a scene to set up the next out of control unacceptable circumstance for our main character to start screaming how unacceptable it is, to then jump to the next scene where she does the same, this is the movie, with a side of so called slasher type movie. Honestly that's what this movie is it is neither horror or comedy but someone's extremely skewed view on both the 80s and what is socially acceptable.
Oppenheimer (2023)
Ridiculously over rated
Went to see this in IMAX last night with my son. He's been wanting to see it since it came out he loves history, I love physics, Engineering, etc. So booked... well with high expectations came huge let downs. The first hour or eternity as it felt was jarring jumping from one time line to another, the acting was adequate but the script was well all over the place. Then came the 2nd hour, now this was the only bit I liked the making of said Bomb. But again the throwing in of just ear breaking noise just to fill in time. Then the last hour we'll this is where I actually fell asleep. It was not needed it was long and boring with very poor acting from all. I really really can't see why people are raving about this. When I saw Nolan was directing I thought great.. wow I was wrong. I left feeling drained but from being utterly bored and let down. I'm still waiting for a decent film to come out something that we haven't had for a number of years now, this was not it.
Just to add we know that hard hitting historical can be done and done well, Schindler's list being one! I have read through a lot of the 1 star reviews and they seem to all be written by fans of Nolan's, like them i enjoyed interstellar (maybe not the last 20 mins where it went off on a tangent).
Evil Dead Rise (2023)
awful set up, acting and completely with out and plot!
Well the positive... first its continuous at the very least, minimal back story, and once the blood starts flowing it doesn't stop, its kind of a splatter movie, but that's where it ends. The entire premiss and motivation of the characters is inane! You roll your eyes thinking what is the logic behind what your doing!? I always find the scariest films are ones that obviously create suspense, which this doesn't, AT ALL! (other than when one kid finds the random tomb and even that's very flat!) and Also the ones where the characters follow what would be a logical path or one where you think yeah I would do that and oh they get caught out anyway it puts you in that position gets you thinking oh cr@p how would i get out of that! This unfortunately as I have said doesn't do that!
You don't have time to care about the characters as there is no back story and they are all unlikable even the little kid. They should of pushed more of the lore. Built up the suspense a bit more, you can still have all the gore and blood. I found my self being very bored predicting what was going to happen next finding there was not even a jump scare in this made it even more eye rolling.... sorry Bruce and Sam, you where both ex producers on this i jsut hope you didn't have any input on the creative side as all the other Evil dead's and series where great...
To add yet again another agenda pushed film by changing out the cast and protagonist. Not that you end up caring, you start rooting for the deadites!
Carnival Row (2019)
Another series full of Misandry, propaganda and no substance!
Well another Misandry ridden Series that could of been a lot more, I do like the concept set up the old London look is fantastic and the acting is good, its just a shame that its all in a push for the typical feminist agenda so much so in the second season that its eye rolling!
The entire plot is based around women who feel hard done by in a mans world, even when everything they do and how they do it is far in excess of any of the so called bad men. Even when the most annoying one of all finally gets her comeuppance and you think finally the b*tch is dead they kill off the "bad" man shortly afterwards!
We have the usual suppression of the mass immigrants fleeing war... its just all so boring. We watch fantasy to get away from this nonsense, we have enough of the media news outlet pushing this we don't want it when we turn to what's meant to entertain us! We don't want someone poorly trying to draw extremely poorly written parallel to what's going on in the world and then push their skewed thoughtless viewpoint on us especially when it so blatant.
Its a such a shame that its marred with this continuing nonsense that most films and series. I did like some aspects hence the 3 stars. As i said the gothic London look was good, Philos character was some what good but could of been developed more, the one that falls flat is of course Cara Delevingne, Vignette Stonemoss, her motivations & mind change more times than there are minutes in a day with little to no obvious outside motivation!
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)
like so many REAL reviews this is awful
I don't know why I did it! Not been the cinema in well since the debacle of the batman... My son wanted to do something so we thought we would give this a go, I should of gone and watched puss-in-boots... this thing was again one huge propaganda machine, misandry at its highest! The main character is a joke more so than his usual fumbling around trying his best to do what is right, he is made a joke by the all knowing women... again another film men are bad women are great, capitalism bad socialism is great.
MCU is really dead now. Honestly there is no recovery!
The plot was non existent it was a muddled mess that looks like they asked random people on the street to come up with a plot line and thrown it all together to make this film. I have officially had it with all movies now. I'm glad I have my collection, I'm glad that both my 14 and 16 year old kids are brain washed morons that seem to give trash like this high ratings and call it out for what it is!
I have now just cancelled the Disney plus even though I think it was only costing us £40 a year, due to the fact I cant hand over any more of my money to such a broken and agenda pushing company!
Gatlopp (2022)
Not a Bad little film
Actually, not a bad film. All actors where good, the film wasn't too preachy (a HUGE bonus!), the effect whereat too bad even though it had a low budget, the writing was good and the dialogue between the actors felt natural. It was quiet fun kept you engaged, and you actually felt for the characters as the story unfolded (there was a point where i actually welled up regarding things that were said, or should I say things that a character wished they had said! And the rest of their friends try to console them)
Good pacing as well and flowed nicely first film I think I have watched from start to finish without looking at my watch or getting distracted by my phone or in a lot of recent cases just some fluff off the dog's toy because that's how interesting films have been of late.
Wednesday (2022)
Just awful
Right from the outset it's just awful, Pugsley is a wimp bullied in school and crying? Wednesday is "plagued" with visions, sorry this would be a good thing to her not a bad thing that's the whole point in the Adams family. The entire cast is off awful acting very flat like they are reading from a script. Both Gomez and Morticia look like a really really bad cos play of the cartoon version.... very strained, unfunny and boring so far away from the original material. Will have to go and watch the originals, even the full motion animations where better than this!
Just awful and that's before you get through the first episode of the season!
Werewolf by Night (2022)
another extremely poor showing
What is going on and who are these brain-dead idiots that are giving it 8/9/10 out of 10? This thing was awful unwatchable cringy boring even with a short run time it went on far too ling. Poor acting, bad script.
Usual BS 8 stone girl beating down on a bloke probably close to 20 stone with no Discernible powers!
Managed to watch it to the end but couldn't stop yawning, the CGI was sooo bad
why do these film producers think we want to watch this type of rubbish and in black and wite no less! No, it's not edgy or nostalgic, it's just boring!
Oh well just have to wait for the next season of the Witcher for something good to watch!
Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)
One you have to watch all the way through
The series starts off slow, but picks up pace, I thought it was well acted by all. Ewan stole the show along with young Vivien Lyra Blair. The acting wasn't hammed up which is always a danger with these mini series. The battle where well choregraphed, I initially watched the trailers and thought it looked really good but didn't hold on to too much hope as its Disney and they have already ruined star wars with episode 7, 8 and 9 which where all awful!!.... but this was enjoyable, much smaller scale but focused. Loved the final fight scene.
PS. Feel sorry knowing what's in store for Owen and aunt Baru....
Morbius (2022)
Just an all round bad film
Just finished watching it, it was predictable from the start, even if you went in to this film with no knowledge of the characters and not seen any of the trailers! The plot was weak character with no development that includes the main protagonist/anti-hero. You just didn't care about any of them. Alot of people are saying make it R rated(18 in the uk) but that would not of saved it the entire script and characters needed changing. Along with the story, motivations.... just set fire to it and start again or don't bother!
If I can sum up the entire film it would be Flat, boring and predictable.
The Batman (2022)
4th atempt at a review
I give up.... I wrote many many reasons why this film was not only awful but the vast majority of the high ratings are bots and that the low ratings (like mine) are being removed!
One of the worse films I have ever seen! I will leave it at that as I doubt it will be allowed to be shown... sigh.
Moonfall (2022)
bad but still no where near as bead as the batman!
Well just watched this film and it is a load of other movies all crammed in to one, got a bit of Armageddon, then some terminator, wondering planet, and some mission to mars rammed in there... as well as many other snipits, full of lots of huge plot holes one being cell phones still working, SAT phones working even though every sat would be taken out, the ending was awful, with characters that well you couldn't really care about surviving, i even thought who are these lot at the end! In all its a good film to watch some special effects and waste some time! And as i said as bad as it is its still EXPONETIALLY better than the Batman!
The Adam Project (2022)
Really good, made me laugh and cry.
Just finished watching this, it hit home as i lost my mum a year ago and its still really hard, so a lot of sentiment was there. The comedy was spot on too (if you like Ryan Reynolds type of comedy! Which i do!) the film actually felt short there needed to be more. Which is the opposite from yesterday when i saw that dismal excuse of a film the batman which went on forever and a day!
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
my first review seems to have disappeared!
Not sure why it was not allowed... I was never informed just cam on to add a bit extra in reply to another review regarding this universes (Tom Holland) Spiderman being too "moralistic ".. the person seems to miss the point of why he was like this, at the point that he decided not to allow doctor strange to send back the respective villains to their own universe to die at the hands of/due to the actions of there respective Spiderman's is, that he had not gone through the same loss as the other 2 that's the point it not until he looses his aunt may that we see him turn and try and kill one of the villains only to then be stopped by one of the other Spiderman's who he had, inexplicably saved also, he not only saved the villains but also the other versions of him self allowing them to come to terms with their own daemons!
As for doctor strange helping this one person... well they kind of saved the world together, he fought died and then was revived all in the fight against Thanos. He saved doctor strange's life, he was a super hero and also he was a child who still needed protecting so doctor strange did what he thought best and used compassion something that if you had watched the doctor strange movie he severely lacked at the beginning of his own movie!
The movie its self was very good, defiantly the best of the 3, the first i did not like at all as it was overly WOKE and also all about the suit rather than the Spiderman's abilities, which we know to be extreme catching a car, stopping winter soldiers punch and moving his arm with no effort etc. The second was a big improvement and this one was almost there with one or two annoying parts and plot holes! I do hope they make more with tom Holland as he's getting better!
Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
Better than i expected but not without its problems
I think i liked this movie due to partly nostalgia, but like some have written it does borrow very heavily from the first movie, it was good to see some ghostbuster lore in there, I wont go in to detail but those that are up with all the lore's games etc will see it.
I think where it falls flat IS The characters seem very 1 dimensional, a lot of time is spent building the daughter up, not much for the other characters, its almost like there is a lot of waste in the film that could of been spent building the atmosphere, it lands rather flat in the middle the beginning and the end are what save it although it is very predictable. Also what is with everyone being very aloof. With all the strange things going on, no one seems to bat an eye lid, you cant say its because of the events of 1984 as most seem to have forgotten it. Even Paul Rudds character was delivered flat which was disappointing because I like him as an actor.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
good movie with some big plot holes... not a marvel movie
I watched this with a bit of unease, but it was better than expected. It felt like several movie smooshed together and sometimes they didn't coalesce correctly. First you have the typical Chinese legend type film, crouching tiger, sword of destiny etc. With the line of forgiveness and great loss and manipulation.. but as far as integrating in to the world of marvel it doesn't do that. Explanations are left very weak so it basically becomes a high end martial arts film with the Chinese legend thrown in.
Don't get me wrong, I actually liked it but I don't know why because I can sit and think of a lot of times I rolled my eyes, for instance the sister is just plain annoying and really didn't need to be in the plot and felt like she was shoe horned in... really take her out and basically it would of panned out the same but without the boring sister with a chip on her shoulder and daddy issues.
Dune: Part One (2021)
Doesn't hold a candle to the original and just poor and bloated in its own right!
Well just finished watching it, I have to say i struggled to watch the second half. A lot of the acting was poor even by some of the well known actors I really like, but I have to acknowledge they only go off what they are given! There is just no emotion and feels like they are reading off script. The visuals are good, obviously using modern day technology the worms look realistic and more threatening. David Bautista character is very bland which is a shame as I like him in other roles.
The reason for the 2 stars is we have come along way since the original (37 years..) and this is not an improvement. It seems to have gone backwards and is now bloated being split in to 2 parts. I think the majority of the high star ratings are shill or paid ratings as any one familiar with the original will look down on this as a poor imitation and anyone new to the world of dune will probably be scratching their heads, the only thing I would agree on is the visuals are good that's it...
