The Owners (2020)
Lacking originality, very predictable.
Credit to Mccoy the former dr who and childrens tv presenter, he was dark, convincing and methodical in his actions, as well as his partner, i just felt the rest of the cast let them down.
The typical break into the rich peoples house, and what can go wrong, for everything to go wrong, was highly predictable, and the owners to be sadistic murderers protecting, house, wealth and hidden secret not a surprise at all.
As slowly the cast fell one by one, the usual rookie mistakes continued. Opportunities still came for a happier ending and escape, and one by one they screwed themselves over as was the general feel of the film.
For all the owners effort, and the partners madness, i honestly was disappointed by both story and acting of the others. With even the surprise at the end not really a secret with the emphasis around Kate.
Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020)
Uninspiring and Repetitive.
As much as I loved the Bill and Ted films growing up, i honestly felt bored as the repetitive nature of the film took another turn. The film felt like a lazy attempt to reinvent the former films with instead female leads for the future just to prolong the franchise.
The plot was similarly repetitive, learn a song, save the world with the usual clueless way they go around also reflected in their daughters collecting musicians as Bill and Ted try and find the lyrics to the song.
It was poor painful, and just felt like it was trying to appeal to females, the same way the failed ghostbusters did with their imdb 5.2 rating..
The Insurrection (2020)
Good Idea. poor acting etc
When a whistle blower decides to divulge everything they know about the liberal media in a believable way after losing their family and the ruling elites leverage over them to keep them in line. Soon assassins are sent to remove the whistle blower and they suck at their job.
To defend her she has a friend and a hired Sergeant Major, who is as bad a shot as the merc's coming for her. If your looking for an action story, your not getting it. Some of the shots missed even Stevie Wonder could hit.
The undertone stays though as corporations, media, and the powers that be try to control everything we do in different ways, and make us debt slaves, and unhappy and beneath them, for the higher ups benefit which many people can relate too.
It just felt spoiled by poor dialogue, poor acting especially when a sniper can't shoot through concrete walls, you leave a house to run away. The message of the movie was refreshing, the execution poor at best.
The Walking Dead (2010)
Slow Painful Death
The simple fact is up until about season 4-5 the series built up well, before writers continually dragged things out. So many episodes became nothing episodes, not unlocking anything really about characters, or the situation. Sadly we have seen too much filler.
Has been some hope with a change of face at the front of the show but simple fact is characters dissapearing from the show, hedging their bets on other shows, where struggle to know if have a future on show is bad for the show and bad for the fluidity. Maggie going, Risk Going, Michonne going for breaks away just leave new holes in story line, and no real filler and limited talk about these characters as if seen just as gone to a large degree and everything goes on as usual. Negan Saga sucked, and was poor for the hype, and same with the whisperers. Apart from a few incidents, it felt like they were just any other group.
Us (2019)
Highly Dissapointed
After all the hype of how great a film it was off friends and media i thought would take a watch, the concept of a left experiment was not a new one, or the violence. To me there was no suspenseful horror as some claim, but was simply not much more than an average slasher flick.
The amount of times the mother was cut up and lived made it even more pathetic, as well as a predictable ending with the daughter. A poor film, with a poor cast based on a reinvention of an idea. The amount of times people go off on there own as well when pretty much the world is being taken over, is something that no responsible parent i could imagine allowing in such circumstances.
The Invisible Man (2020)
Slow start, builds, then fails.
I watched the film and of course is sad to see anyone suffering domestic abuse struggle to escape someone. The staying with friends, seemed great, but felt slow. The typical tactics of the abuser seemed realistic and common and felt like would build for a gripping torture session of ups and downs, but as the victim seemed to be pushed into a corner, and locked in an asylum, they escape with ease, From the asylum the film went downhill.
Suddenly with the suit malfunctioning no cameras at the asylum catch the person, no one notices as the suit flashing on and off due to damage. As the film drags on in a game of cat and mouse, No changing the numbers on the doors, no extra security of someone entering the house, the ease of finding the suit, it felt poor and full of plot holes.
As the film ends even the thought a murderer is still running round fine with no problems, able to stay at home, maybe they are clueless on the justice system. As the same invisible suit that doesn't see the suicide at the end, wasn't active anymore or proved as invisible suit when found due to damage.
Add to that the idea of invisible suit when one person is in a house with another, who they hate, suddenly committing suicide. Poorly thought out..
Doom Patrol (2019)
Dissapointed
Watching the same mistakes and neurosis over and over again quickly got boring, as much as the characters gained emotional strength with time, plot felt see through at times and weak.
Characters development was very limited, with the slightest knock seemingly sending them back into their holes. Even at the end, after finding out they all been screwed over, they were happy to run back to the deceiver like nothing had happened.
Weak and disappointing, how poor TV has become is probably why so many have given such a high rating.
