McGregor Forever (2023)

Didn't get past episode 1

[5/10 · 9 July 2023]

As a huge Mcgregor fan during his early run, I found him to be humble, charismatic, clever, hilarious, and with deep intellectual thought.

The Mayweather/Khabib lead ups seemed different to me. It was inauthentic, mean, and shallow.

Wish this series highlighted the Mcgregor we used to love (pre-Mayweather), rather than the changed man.

He achieved generational wealth and has set up his family for life, congratulations to the man. But I'm not a fan of this new person.

Lastly, episode 1 could have shown a lot more of of the religion, family, and personal attacks that Conor never went too in his prime. This seemed a bit watered down.

Sherlock (2010–2017)

Giving it a 10 but....

[10/10 · 9 July 2019]

Didn't love the last season. The first three are outstanding. Just feel there was a quality drop in season 4

Dunkirk (2017)

Decent movie for anyone not named a Chris Nolan

[6/10 · 17 February 2019]

When I hear a new Chris Nolan movie is coming out - I rally the troops. I never go to a theater when it's packed or opening weekend, but for Chris Nolan I do.

The movie was ok. It's either my expectations were way too high, or, this was one of the poorer Nolan films. Lacked character connection and storytelling IMO.

Alita: Battle Angel (2019)

Left so much on the table

[7/10 · 17 February 2019]

Visually stunning. Firstly, I wish more background on the world was given. So many questions throughout the beginning to the end. Secondly, I also would have preferred slower, realistic, and more meaningful character development. I'll watch the sequel.

Mission: Impossible (1996)

Really an 8 but want to avg it out

[9/10 · 15 February 2019]

One major plot twist - not 3000 like the new ones. I enjoyed this movie a lot.

Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)

It's much better than a 7.2

[10/10 · 24 January 2019]

I'm going 10 because I don't understand the vitriol that this movie caused. I think it's more an 8-8.5. One of the better Star Wars. I preferred it over eps 1-3 and the force awakens.

Gotham (2014–2019)

So far...so good

[9/10 · 11 December 2018]

It's not up there with the best of all time, but very entertaining. Midway through season 1. Will update when I catch up.

Leave No Trace (2018)

Disappointed

[2/10 · 23 July 2018]

At some point you can't keep the audience in the dark for the entire movie. While most movies have a beginning, middle, and end, it seemed this had a beginning, beginning and beginning. It just never really picked up.

I'm shocked IMDB and rotten tomatoes had such a positive rating on this.

I appreciated the cinematography and acting, but towards the end i was hoping for the movie to finally end.
