The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
Not at the same level as PJ work
I gave up 15 minutes in E03.
I've read the Books, I can recite every sentence in every film, LOTR&The Hobbit.
The acting is bad and the Characters are vanilla and the writing isn't comparable to the previously mentioned Movie scripts. Corny and feels like watching a Kid Series.
It isn't all bad though. I really like the set and the CGI work. The landscape and the cities are really amazing! I also liked the Dwarves and all their scenes, characters and set. Im also torn between liking or feeling neutral about Elrond, I love the Character (in the OGs) and I like the Actor playing him - if I decide to give the show a second chance, it will be because of curiosity about Elrond, the dwarves and wanting to see more of Middle Earth (and will update my review).
If they had invested as much on the script, storyline and characters, as they did on costumes, CGI, set ect. It would've been amazing!
It Chapter Two (2019)
Very disappointing and bad CGI
As a big fan of the book and the first movie, I am very disappointed. The movie is too long. The CGI monsters weren't scary at all and the scenes were silly. The ending was also very bad. All just a big overkill.
Pros: Good casting and a few good jokes and jump scares.
Jack Whitehall: At Large (2017)
Not. Funny.
As a big fan of comedy (my favorites Ricky Gervais and Louis Ck.) I didn't find this funny at all and stopped watching 30 minutes in. There's something about Jack that I find really annoying and I don't find him genuine in his stories.
Ricky Gervais: Humanity (2018)
Funny as always!
This Ricky Gervais special is very funny but it's not his best special.
Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father (2017)
Obviously scripted at times but still funny.
I was pleasantly surprised by this series as I'm not really a big fan of Jack Whitehall (he is no Ricky Gervais) but his dad, Michael, I found hilarious. This grumpy old Aristocrat being "forced" to be open minded and trying new this is really funny. Watched the series in one day and hope for a season two!
