How I Met Your Father: The Fixer (2022)
Finding their footing
This episode is a lot better, each storyline had a legitimate point to it and some characters (Sophie, Jesse, and Sid) had a lot more depth added to them.
The storytelling seems to be on track and I think the scenarios will continue to be interesting enough.
My main critics are the jokes falling flat and leaning way too hard into "millennial humor". Whenever the jokes are focused on trendy things it's just kind of cringe. Also cutting to older Sophie 2-3 times an episode for a garbage joke and her off screen son is lame and kind of dead space in the episode. I really hope they get away from that.
Overall I am interested in the story of the show and I really hope they find their comedic tone as the season goes on.
The English Game (2020)
Maybe not accurate, but thoroughly entertaining!
I recently have gotten into soccer/football and I cannot speak to the historical accuracy of the show. However, the writing and intrigue is there entirely. This series develops strong characters that you can genuinely resonate with and root for. It also contrasts the working class with aristocracy very well and doesn't come across as preachy. There are some storylines that I did not care for and I felt took away from the main plot of the show. But there is really something in the show for everyone. The games are exciting, the drama is engaging, and love stories are there if that's your thing. Lastly, the acting is phenomenal! Especially the two main characters, Fergus Suter and Arthur Kinniard. Definitely worth a watch!
Truth or Dare (2017)
Save yourself some time
Do not watch this movie. It has terrible dialogue and acting. The premise is okay, but the plot is terrible.
Please just don't watch
The Mandalorian: Chapter 12: The Siege (2020)
Important episode!
First I want to start with the action. This episode is chalked full of fun and exciting Star Wars action and I think most fans will enjoy it.
Secondly, the story is good. It does not feel like a filler episode but more of a setup episode. I think we'll later see why this episode is important.
Thirdly, the dialogue... Star Wars is kind of known for "clunky", "cheesy", or "wanna be witty" dialogue. This episode falls under that(-1 Star). However, it didn't distract from the plot and was certainly no worse than the lady on tattoine.
Overall this was a fantastic episode that feels like the season is about to ramp up and get more interesting!
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Feels more like Star Wars...but
I was really hoping that this movie would kind of return the Star Wars movies to form. I will say that it feels way more like a Star Wars movie than last Jedi. However, the fan service in this movie is upsetting at times. It's like they shoe horned in as much nostalgia as possible.
What I liked: the visuals are straight up incredible, the lightsaber fights are awesome, and the way they handled Carrie Fisher/Leia (my favorite part of the movie). Not a very long list...
Things that I really did not like: the pacing is way too fast and they tried to cram too much into the movie. There is entire segments of the movie that could just be removed. I also found the dialogue to be really cheesy. It was like every line had to be quotable or quippy. The family dynamic they tried to pull between the characters did not really work.
I love Star Wars and I hope they find their footing again, and I really tried to like this film, but it was honestly upsetting.
