Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (1993)
Nostalgic already?
With the DVD release of Lois & Clark I remember why I loved this series so much. It wasn't the best series on television, but it was very entertaining. I really loved to watch it and still do. But the weirdest thing for me is the fact I felt very nostalgic when I put on the DVD with the pilot episode. And I still can't believe the series ended nearly ten years ago already. This was one of the first (if not the first) series I really followed, pilot to finale. And now, ten years later (and 24 y/o), I'm doing it again. And that feels weird. There have been other series released on DVD that I followed, or are older than L&C, but this still was the first. What I liked about the series was how they managed to make it seem like they had a much bigger budget. The special effects are really bad from time to time, but with the focus on something else you really didn't care. There always was something in the show that didn't make you notice. And the fact that the story's of the episodes are simply fun also makes it very good. I don't know how else to put it, the story's weren't that good, but they were fun. And I think that's something that is discarded very easily today. A series or movie has to be really good to receive a high rating. I rather rate how much fun I had when I watched it. So "Lois & Clark, the New Adventures of Superman" receives another full 7 points.
Doom (2005)
A little bit of Doom
Let me start off with saying, I really enjoyed myself watching this movie. It was put together well, the story was OK, and it kept you on the edge of your seat. Actually, the story surprised me to be this good, on it's own. But it's not the story of Doom. The only teleporter was from Mars to Earth, and at this point it was only a tool. While in Doom experimenting with Teleporters was the whole thing that went bad and made contact with hell. Which brings me to the second story arc that isn't consistent. All the creatures are mutants. Which I really don't get. I don't see how they could have made that decision. There are so many movies with an experiment with genes and stuff gone bad. And people turn into monster and zombies, and when you get bitten you become one of them. I've seen this a thousand times. But a teleporter creating a link with hell, and fighting hell itself basically, that hasn't been used so often. A major disappointment. But, I'm here to comment on the movie and not to the links it has to the story it was based on. I saw previous users giving this movie a really bad vote because it didn't fully ring true to the game. RATE THE MOVIE, people, NOT THE CONNECTION IT HAS WITH SOMETHING! And the movie was good!
