Fallout (2024)
Blueprint for making video game TV show
This show should be a blueprint of how to make video game tv shows work. This is how new non-gaming audience is engaged to a show. I had never played the game but after watching the show I want to.
Purnell is amazing as vaultie, Goggins as Ghoul delivers absolute gold as always. I have been a fan of his ever since I saw Justified. Maximus actor was decent-ish and not great as his acting felt kinda missing something.
The script for most part was decent with good emotional and comedic bits. Dialogues are good for most of the show. CGI looked choppy sometimes but it is not that bad. Over all a good show and a must watch.
Well done all!
Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver (2024)
Made no sense
Watched both the parts together. I have no clue how my brain is functioning properly.
Positives : CGI, Costume Design, Cinematography
Negatives : Pretty much everything else. Script/ Story made no sense. Seems like a high school kid wrote it. Expected better from Snyder.
Dialogues are trash
Acting is non-existent. Even the most emotional scenes are laughable
It is just like an old western where a group of people band together to fight a common enemy except this movie tales place in space. The movie added nothing new just copy pasted the stale idea. I am not sure why Zack was so excited for this movie. The first part was watchable (it sucked) but the 2nd part made no sense.
Watch it only if you have time and brain cells to kill.
Road House (2024)
Entertaining and Watchable
It's a decent action movie.
Acting : JG is great Conor can't act, he overdid simple scenes with CRAZYness. It felt like he was asked to play himself in the movie. Other supporting actors did okayish.
CGI : It was bad and felt incomplete.
Story : Added some drug and mafia element because the plot was way too simple for a movie and it was also decent enough. If you're looking for a deep and thought provoking storyline, then this might not for you.
All in all very enjoyable movie which is getting unnecessary hate from audience. Even if you have not seen the original movie, this movie stands out on its own.
The Office (2005)
Best Comedy show ever
The first season is relatively slow compared to the later seasons, made me wonder if I should continue watching the show and I made an excellent decision to continue. The show is timeless and all time great. The way it blends humor, satire, and genuine emotion is masterful and amazing. The show's success can be attributed to its stellar writing, impeccable casting, and the ability to resonate with viewers on a personal level.
Steve Carell is an absolute genius, his comic timing is impeccable. Other cast members make the show a standout in the comedy genre.
The last 2 season where Carell left might suck but are still watchable and still have moments of humor and charm.
For me the best comedy show out there.
Joker (2019)
Overhyped ?
Acting : Good
Plot : Good
Pacing : Snail
There is no doubt the movie is good, but it is for sure not "Movie Of the Year".
The reviews here make it seem like the movie is far better than it actually is.
JP was perfect , film's direction was perfect, other cast members acted very well.
The main problem with the movie is that it is quite boring. It felt like one of those movies which I could just stop watching in between and would need motivation to complete it
I am not sure if it is just me or others felt the same way but it certainly is not deserving of 10 stars. The climax took an eternity and at that point I was not very interested in what would happen.
Overall : Good movie.
Jupiter's Legacy (2021)
Decent show with some problems
The show is decent at best.
Acting and script are decent.
For a superhero show, costumes are very bad.
There are 2 timelines in which show runs. The past explaining how the first superheroes got their powers and the present where their children struggle to live upto their expectations.
My main problem with the show is the time that is devoted in establishing and explaining the past timeline, that makes the present timeline very trashy. There is no character development for present characters or as matter of fact even for some past ones. The timeline switches feel very forced and overwritten.
Its not as good as "The Boys" but its not bad either.
And also did I mention how bad superhero costumes are.
Overall - Watchable.
Without Remorse (2021)
Awful
The movie is bad. The script and writing was bad just bad.
The acting was mediocre. Nothing stands out in the movie. A generic revenge plot with very predictable bad guys.
Bard of Blood (2019)
Very over the top and
I was looking forward to this series as Emraan Hashmi is a very good actor and is very underrated.
On seeing the series i was hugely dissapointed with the mess that was created. Emraan Hashmi's potential was wasted for a braindead action movie.
The series is a joke and is a an assault on viewer's intelligence.
An Indian spy is roaming around the world killing people and no-one is able to catch him....what?? Everyone knows his identity still none of the police or terriorists are able to kill/catch him.
The plot was simple "Revenge againts Terriorists". Over the top action sequences like
1. Firing a machine gun without mounting it anywhere (Salman Khan style).
2. There is no ammo belt attached to the gun. Why ? 3. No bullets hit the protagonist during bullet exchange while terriorists/cops are dying.
4. Couple of Indian agents going around in to take on Taliban.
5. They kill the head of Terriorists from a distance but fail to kill his son who is shot in the leg in the middle (lying there without cover) of gun battle.
6. Things never go according to the plan and our hero comes our guns blazing killing everyone.
I can go on and on about the BS bollywood is serving us up. This show was so cringy many times.
I am hugely dissapointed. When you compare it to masterpieces like The Family Man you know that Bard Of Blood is a bunch of BS.
Dont question the intelligence of your viewers.
3 stars for Emraan Hashmi and the locations.
The Boys (2019)
A** Bomb
The Boys is one of my favorite Prime original show. Just binge watched the season 1 and it was worth every penny.
The show gives us a new take on super "heroes" where everthing is a PR drama and how supes misuse their superpowers. A group of normal vigilantes plan to take down these supes.
The cast is full of very talented. Karl Urban portrays the leader of vigilantes and Antony Starr is casted as leader of corrupt supes. Both are portrayed as true bada**es.
The visual effects and cinematography is amazing. The story is well written and is amaxingly adapted to screen.
Really liked the concept of the show.
Will definitely watch Season 2, expectationsbare high.
Daredevil (2015)
Unmatched
Never read the comic.
Season 1 : Amazing
S1 was brilliant. Binged watched the season it got better with each episode. Matt Murdock is potrayed as a struggling lawyer which is gives it a more realistic touch. The costume he wears as Daredevil is not very high end rather is black clothes and a scarf over his eyes. Cox is really good as Murdock but the highlight of the season is Vincent D'Onofrio as the kingpin. Over all a great watch, very realistic, great action sequences.
Season 2 : Good
S2 was a good season. It failed to live upto the hype created by S1 but it still can hold its own. The season introduces Punisher and Electra. The 1st half of the season was good and entertaining with Punisher wreaking Havoc in Hell's Kitchen. The 2nd half took a nose dive and became messy. The writing was a mess for 2nd hal of the the season.
Season 3 : Masterpiece
Thought it couldnot top S1, but I was wrong. This season was freaking brilliant. Again D'Onofrio was the highlight of this season with Bullseye killing it too. Every supporting character has a story arc that is explained and developed as the season goes on. A wonderful season.
Overall Verdict : Must Watch
Bloodshot (2020)
Messy Script and Predictable AF
Never read the comic, had no idea about the character.
If you saw the trailer, you basically know the movie plot. Trailer spolied the movie. Having said that, if you havent seen the trailer, then also you can guess the plot. It is very PREDICTABLE.
Was hoping for a good action movie, but instead got an uninspired movie where the negatives outweigh the positives. The script is a mess and very generic. Was expecting better from the movie.
I would suggest to watch his only if you have nothing else to do.
Altered Carbon (2018)
What happened here?
Season 1 - 10/10
Altered carbon S1 was one of my favorite science fiction show. James as Kovacs and Purefoy as Bancroft were perfect. Intelligent story, good screenplay.
They set up the universe with stacks and sleeves etc supported by the mystery angle in the plot all worked perfectly for the series. Camerawork was good along with the soundtrack. Season 1 was a fun entertaining series.
Season 2 - 3/10
Was this season really needed ? For me they should have cancelled the series after S1 or waited longer for a good script
All the things i liked in S1 were missing in S2. The plot looked weak and was a mess. Mackie looked out of place as Kovacs. Supporting characters were flat. S2 tries to expand the universe but fails miserably. Overall a bad season.
Paatal Lok (2020)
Highly Recommended
Paatal Lok is a very well written, directed and acted show. Each actor play their roles brilliantly. The character development in the show is good, as each actor is given their fair share of screen-time. Jaideep Ahlawat plays a cop torned between his family and his duty and he does it perfectly. Abhishek Banerjee is another gem.
Pacing for the show might me an issue for some people who are used to fast paced thriller movies/show. This show takes its time to develop and to reach the climax.
The pilot episode ropes you in very well with its dark tone and mystery.
All in all a very good watch.
The Punisher (2017)
A great watch
Marvel Netflix shows have been very good (watched DD and JJ).The Punisher is another great addition. Introduced in Daredevil S2, Jon Bernthal nailed the role. He is a great actor and portrays the character nicely.
The storylines are good and action sequence are brilliantly choreographed. This is how Punisher should be, a Killing Machine. The supporting cast excel in their particular roles too.
Sad that is cancelled, definitely deserved a S3
Snowpiercer (2020)
5 stars seems high though
The show is 45 minutes of JC walking up and down the train. Plagued with bad acting and worse script. The original with Chris Evans was actually a good movie but this is a big NO.
Jennifer Connelly is her usual self but the male counterpart is a bad actor. Non-charismatic leads, bad direction.
Remember how 300 was a dope movie and 300 Part 2 sucked , this time Part 2 is a tv series.
The pilot is supposed to get people hooked on the show, but in this case it was uninspiring.
Panchayat (2020)
Simple yet beautiful
Very good show. Beautiful direction and location selection was just perfect. Jeetu bhaiya and other cast members acted really well.
