The Walking Dead: Rest in Peace (2022)
Suspicions Confirmed
My suspicions have been confirmed. The Walking Dead have overcome the writers, production, editorial and directorial staff, at the very least. There is simply no other plausible explanation for the series finale I have just witnessed, especially when I my expectations weren't particularly high based on the low bar set in recent seasons with the exception of a few exceptional episodes. The writers had years to brain storm and tease out a befitting finale. Years! Walking Dead are still evolving. They walked, some climbed, and now they direct. SuperDeadman will be in a cinema near you in 2023. DG.
Star Trek: Picard (2020)
The dummies guide to destroying a series
It started so well. It promised so much. It was different. It was somewhat mysterious and it provided nostalgia to trekkies. That pretty much sums up most of Season 1. Season 2 did not start well and kept going in that direction at warp speed. It was nk longer different, the mystery disappeared. The "seriousness" of what was initially portrayed became farce with the numerous attempts to add comic aspects to a series that was succeeding with only a bare minimum. The directors of Season 2 clearly didn't watch Season 1, did but didn't care, or were lobotomised. Congratulations on the light speed with which you have managed to destroy the great potential promisednin Season 1
It is truly amazing. I cam only think it was deliberate in some way because I don't think anyone that cared about the series could possibly be capable of such destruction.
Belly (1998)
Rappers that can't act
A movie that only attempts to portray some popular rappers as gangsters. They can't act. When I say that I mean they can't act to such a ridiculous extent that the camera should never have started recording or stopped within 2 mins. Since said rappers co-produced this garbage, the intention was to get attention. They did, but not positive attention. Don't waste your time. Absolute garbage.
The Last Kingdom (2015)
The Season is Dead, Long Live the Series
The series started so well. In its infancy it was pure in its intent. It is not a factual or historical account of things but it was pure in its ability to attract an audience. It had more potential and that potential was realised
....until this season where potential has become chaos and chaos has become nonsense. It has sacrificed all of what worked in previous seasons for a script that scrapes the barrel. The story line, or rather the lack thereof, is an insult to viewers' intelligence. Such a shame. The season is dead, long live the series! We shall see.
Maanaadu (2021)
Chaos Repeated Over and Over
I expected this movie to match reviews. It barely made it out of the traps before the most fundamental of things escape annoying and frustrating. The premise of the movie is not new but I expected that such a big budget would in some way justify such significant investment. The movie is chaotic, too long and utterly predictable.
Survivor: A New Era (2021)
Not Survivor anymore. Utter failure.
Being a survivor ow applies to us viewers! Not everyone will get to the end. It's already painful. Political correctness on a whole new level! Survivor has self-imploded!
Dragon Fury (2021)
Beyond the realms of viewing tolerance
This is the first time I have ever reviewed a movie and I feel duty bound to warn my fellow homosapians away from what will and can only be an insult to your intelligence. The rating should state "this film contains scenes (all of them) that viewers will undoubtedly find offensive. The film contains gratuitous scenes (all of them) of nonsense and offensive dialogue, in the form of what the producers appear to call a "script". Viewer discretion is absolutely not advised. Any and all potential viewers are advised to pull out their own teeth as a less painful alternative to watching this movie. You have been warned.
Muscle (2019)
Nonsense disguised in black and white
Absolute nonsense. Has a beginning, has a middle and has an ending, but up there with the worst of all possible endings. I had hoped the ending might serve to make up for all that went before and somehow make it all worth while! It didn't, it doesn't but it could have and if it did do so, I might not feel so aggrieved. Don't waste your time. Life is too short. If you watch it you will realise that your short life got even shorter for no good reason.
Seungriho (2021)
Nonsense
A complete and utter visual mess! No context, full of chaotic visual confusion and disjointed beyond all reason.
Before the Wrath (2020)
A way to explain away previous prophecies that came to nothing
This movie seeks to rewrite history and prophecies made. A prophecy that does not materialise cannot be categorised as anything other than a non-event. It does not entitle people to try to explain why it didn't happen and why it is still apparently a possibility. It was stated to be a very specific event at a very specific point in time. It never happened. Simple as that. I am a Catholic by birth but this narrative is pure fiction, not unlike that of God himself.
