Another Life (2019)
Another retelling of a story.
I would like to give credit to the creators of this show for being smart by making the story of a video game but not using that game IP just because we all know movies/series about video games almost allways flop.
I wonder if they were fans of that game series or?
Obviously I am talking about a budget version of Mass Effect with a less technological advanced setting but literally everything else is the same expecially how season 2 ends.
This show has a lot more unnecessary drama and the cast looks a bit too eye candy and not believable at times but the video game was eye candy too I guess.
A plus were the rare moments of space claostrophobia and stress that all astronunts have to face, they were done pretty well imo.
Overall watchable but not something I would rewatch years later and for me that is what a show/movie should try to achieve.
F9 (2021)
It all makes sense now
All the crazyness , impossible and outrages things they pull off especially in F9 , all of it totally 'makes sense' now .
Listen to me cuz i figured it out , no srsly it all makes sense listen .
That bits of dialagoue in the movie Roman was saying trying to explain to himself and to his best friends how come they all never die or even get injured and that nothing makes sense to him , all of that is the ground work for the 'Space Saga' .
The earth saga ended , now it is time for the Space saga , where they discover in fast 11 they are all descendants of an Ancient powerful alien race and they were left on earth as their guardians destined to find each other and fight evil.
No srsly this movie is just absurd .
I remeber during the 'avengers portal retun' in End Game when people in the audiance started cheering , well on this one in my cinema , during the bridge scene when the plane picks up the car there was a huge Sigh all around , if a sigh could be translated that one would stand for 'oh come on , srsly?'
I liked the Star wars refences during the movie (another hint for my space saga theory , joking ) . Even Star Wars is more believable than this and that is saying much considering the 1 billion memes about the stormtroopers .
End of theorycrafting/rant .
Gossip Girl (2021)
Not great
I'll be honest i did not expect them to re-make this .
I had to watch it just for Kristen's voice over .
I totally spaced out for everything else but just listing to her voice overs brought back good vibes . So a 10 for that pretty much a 1 for everything else , that is an avg of 5 ish ? Right ?
Loki: The Nexus Event (2021)
Moral of the story
You know what , everytime Loki becomes a decent human being he ends up dying in some way. There is definately a moral to the story there :)
Also if he is a bad guy in a comic book he will end up loosing so poor guy is in a lose lose situation. Got to feel for the man , he definetly drew the short straw .
But at least he is having fun at it :)
Spot on episode , loved it .
The Nevers (2021)
The stand out of 2021
This is slowly becoming one of my favorite TV shows ever made.
Casting 11/10
Music 10/10
Visuals and vfx 10/10
Costumes & decors 10/10
Story and writing 9/10 Just a 9/10 here because the pilot felt a bit like it tried to much (new IP and all) , just a bit of info dump and rushed the pilot was, other then that perfect to be honest.
Attention to detail 10/10.
And most important thing off all : Having again that feeling of excitement every week when you hear the HBO logo and you know a new episode is starting , just like season 1-6 of GoT used to give me . Oh I've missed that so thank you 'The Nevers' .
Supergirl: A Few Good Women (2021)
White moves first
Lex is so overpowered in this tv series that he changed the rules to Chess :) .
The Flash: Fear Me (2021)
Wierd things.
What is going on?
One episode is absolute garbage and then you get a pretty good one .
This season is strange .
Ted Lasso (2020)
Something special
There is no need for a wall of text to describe this amazing show .
But I do have to say this :
Bit of a spoiler for ep 7
Everton lost to this ? hahaha my friend to whom I have recommended this show yesterday it is a huuuuuuugee Everton fan , he will be fuming . Can' t wait till he get to this episode , no seriously so mean hahaha .
Thank you Ted Lasso you W word :)
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
After this the saga needs a name change
Why not just call the entire saga The Palpatines?! Because one started all of it and one ended it. You made the skywalkers just a supporting cast, like the lanisters in GoT TV series.
Ani didn't fulfil any prophecy because you retconned his redemption story pretty much. His only accomplishment was having leia and luke, which drove him to the dark side in the 1st place so I guess he was doomed from the start. Poor guy... 30 years of legacy and one of the best characters in fiction RIP in one movie.
I mean just think of it like this One palatine becomes the embodiment of all Sith that existed (pretty cool idea if they developed it more) and the other palapatine becomes his exact opposite by becoming all the Jedi s. Where are the skywalkers in all of this?!
Oh I see now their amazing powers filled Ray from the beyond to tip the scales in f
avor of the light, cuz I guess fk balance 🤣
X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)
2019 doesn't disappoint
As the title said 2019 doesn't disappoint in making mediocre movies or series. So many big (pop culture definiing too) movies or series ended had or will have their end this year : Avengers(infinity saga) , xman, star wars (skywalker saga), game of thrones, big bang theory....the list goes on. And except star wars who will have the premiere in December and ofc Big bang that had an amazing last episode, everything else was mediocre or some even awful.
Can't recommend this film. I watched the premiere in the UK and quite a lot of people walked out of the movie midway or close too.
Game of Thrones: The Long Night (2019)
What now?!
I never took the time to write a review for n different reason but this time I had too, because I never felt this disappointed in my life.
I'll keep it at short as I possibly can and mostly it's about a question.
I am one of those people that if they like something so much I want to share it, therfore over the years I convinced so so many people to watch this series and most of them got hooked to it. Some of this people over the years recommended it to others as well and a huge amount of the people I know get togheder and watch it togheder, share their theories and it was until now a thing that got us closer togheder. What am I supposed to tell them now after watching this?! It was all for nothing? They wasted so much time and in the end the main story of the ice and fire saga was actually just a sub plot for the fight of them scobbling houses?!
I guess the night king just a distraction to get a few cool looking moments (well the ones you can see cuz everything is pitch dark). This doesn't feel like a GRRM writing, otherwise just call it a story of the lioness vs the world.
I know the expectations were high but damn this made half of the moments and important characters in the story so far literally useless.
