Alien: Romulus (2024)
Starts very strong, ends up absurd
As soon as the ''Alien'' stuff starts, the movie falls off hard.
The movie starts incredibly good. The shot, the aura, the atmosphere... Everything is ticking. Everything is so interesting. And then ''Alien'' movie starts and the movie loses 100 IQ. Not a single light or door work properly. But those are not the issue. The issue is the way these characters die or not die and the way they reaction.
By reaction i mean, what would you do if you touch fire? You back away right? These characters, stay on fire, till they completely burnt and die. I'm not even kidding, you'll remember my point when you watch it.
Also, the movie tries so hard to make ''Ripley'' short-hair, tank top and make the alien falls into space vacuum SO HARD that it's annoying at this point. Are they ever gonna stop doing those cliches? I mean, the alien become The Coyote at this point with all those fall downs.
V/H/S/Beyond (2024)
Strong start, terrible follow ups
I watched and loved all the VHS series, love them. We need those fun movies. But this one aint it. There are 5 scenes: Opening 7/10 , Indian 0/10, Plane 7/10, the rest 0/10
So the opening and plane scenes are actually pretty fun to watch. The rest tho is unbearable. The practicle effects are very nice to see but the VHS (old tv)effects are terrible and has no reason cause there are also shots of ultra-hd pro cam shots on perfect angles. There's also no story to tell and there isn't acting to critic. The thing is this could've been and should've been more fun. They should just let those 2 scenes keep going.
Speak No Evil (2024)
Lower your expectation, it'll be a good watch
The movie has so many directoral weaknesses. You will realize there are so many blanks between dialogs. You can easily feel what went wrong there. You know there are missing story elements, missing scenes, missing dialog exchanges. If the movie had those it could've been a pretty good but still not great because;
the acting is straight up bad! It's really really bad. James is great, there's no question on that but his character is just...too much. He is around 6 characters and he has 90% of dialogs..which is kinda annoying seeing all those characters just freeze and listen James' unending lines. Again, he's great but it feels like the director agreed on all other actors are bad so he was like ''James, keep talking!'' The husband&wife, especially the wife, were super annoying. And i still dont get how come the wife character can still be on top even tho she got caught?!. But i'm glad she didn't turn into girl boss (just a little).
I liked the watch, i was ready for a mediocre movie, lowered my expectation and enjoyed it while it lasted.
The Penguin (2024)
A masterpiece movie worthy 1 episode
The camera angles, the tone, the designs, no camera shakes, long shots, the tone, the dialogs, the story, the directing... All are just top level. And Colin is just cherry on top.
But the ''sister'' and ''vic'' are terrible at acting. Cristin isn't a bad actress, im not saying that but she ''overact'' on this one. She literally tryhard to act that it feels like she is on theatre stage. The boy (vic) tho quite reverse. His face doesn't fit the character. He's too genz-looking and simply can't act. His role isnt anything hard, just how hard can it be to play a kid that got scared?
Hopefully the rest of this thing gets better, i'm in. I diidnt watch a single good movie this year.
It Ends with Us (2024)
Terrible characters, unbelievable dialogs
I finally did it. I smelled a bad movie again on the begining but this time, i stopped watching when the rooftop scene's done. The characters & dialogs were unbelievable. Even on opening scene, they managed to lose me. ''5 good things about him''. So yeah, she sits on a coffee shop, writes 5 numbers on a napkin but doesn't fill up, puts back to her pocket even tho she knows it's empty, comes all the way to dad's funeral and takes the note out, even tho she knows it's empty mind you, opens it, and looks at it seeing it is empty and so she doesn't talk. Welp, nice IQ dear Gossip Girl. Not to mention she looks like a super-star model and ready for a hair-shampoo ad on his dad's funeral. She smiles, looks fine. So, thumbs up you Gossip Girl. And then she goes up on a roof, an another unbelivable character jumps in and starts to talk with lovey-dovey dialog exchanges immediatly. Not to mention it's not even 10 mins in and we got the first pc-input moment with ''you angry with your girlfriend? Sorry or boyfriend?''. Oh yeah, nice for you to correct yourself Gossip Girl, now we got woken! I totally got the message!
And just like that, like in a few minutes with few dialog exchanges, they are in a relationship. Nicely process dear director. I'm guessing you didnt have time for proper character introduction? (checking the movie lenght and i facepalming again)So yeah, that's all i watched. The rooftop dialogs. So i dont know iif it's really bad but this time, i'll trust myself. Here hold my 1/10 dear movie.
The Crow (2024)
Both actors were good, anything else > bad
Bill and the evil guy (forgot his name) are undenyable deserved better. They should absolutely get more jobs after this. But hear me out about the rest of this movie:
- The Crow supposed to have STYLE which we lack on this one. We have better cameras, better CGI, more money but somehow for whatever reason they cant beat a 20 years old movie. You must be so untalent to do that as a director&writer.
- The Crow supposed to have gothic theme and cool/metal music. But i had to cover my ears on this one.
- The story doesn't need explanation. There's no such thing as power of crow, power of love etc. They should've just stay mystical just like the first movie. The backstory of this is incredibly boring.
- Very unlikable characters. Cringe ''love moments''. Terrible character designs. Imagine, the ''die for'' girlfriend is some hooker, drunk-drug addict, party girl in this movie..lol, yep. I couldn't believe that either.
I can keep point the bads non-stop but, why waste more time making you read and make myself write. This writers and director should retire asap. There are thosands of talented people out there waiting for a chance like this.
Terminator Zero (2024)
It's bad
First of all the show has no music, literally from start to finish all you hear is ''sad piano''.
Protip: Next time, dont do anime for a Termiator story. Not that the recent Termiator movies any good but this having anime-cliches and terrible anime-dialogs don't help. There is an interesting twist+story to catch but it ruined by this being made by anime studios. The dialogs are incredibly bad, characters nonstop shout whenever they speak, all of them are overdramatic, and they have total IQ of a nevrotic racoon.
Cancel whatever is coming, and make a good movie instead. This is waste of resource.
Suki demo kirai na amanojaku (2024)
Anime cliches with nothing satisfying story
Of course they are high schoolers, of course there are fireworks, of course parents have little to no effect on their children at all, of course it's full of supernatural stuff going on, of course they shower after rain but this time, it's not rain, it's snow.
Characters have no personality, you don't get what this movie is about. What's the message? What is the point? Why are we watching? NOTHING EXPLAINED! Just like most animes, you just have to accept whatever you see i guess.
The only ok part was the few 20 mins which was relaxing. But then as soon as supernatural things start, it becomes unbearable.
SKIP IT, WATCH SOMETHING WORTHY.
Conan O'Brien Must Go (2024)
Too much act, very less natural comedy
We all love Conan. But you can see it with your own eyes, his most fun moments are the ones which are natural conversations with casual people. His most watched ones with his employees and talk to them casually. Yeah some of those dialogs are pre-scripted but it was natural enough.
With this show, what you see is: Conan visits each country, wears a 1000 years old clothes, walks around, looks at the camera. Wow, great joke Conan, funny af!
What i admire the most about this show is that Conan really is on a great shape even tho he's 60. What i want from this show, at least if they are making another season is: MAKE IT MORE NATURAL and put LESS ACTS/SKITS.. (I also dont get some parts. Like he sometimes complains/talks about money. Isn't he like a...millionare?)
Atlas (2024)
The most UNLIKEABLE character ever created
Congratulations Holywood, you just made the MOST unlikeable, unbearable, annoying character ever..EVER.
50 mins in and i had to stop since Jennifer Lopez keeps whinning on AI-chatbot non-stop. It's not only her character being non-stop annoying, she's also one of the most stupid human being while being told by the movie that she's the most intelligent human in human history. The only sensable and good character was the one which told the commandant that she's ''unstable, wrong, bad at relations, cant even take care of a plant'' and the commander answers ''that's why she's the sharpest mind of our time''. Yep, okkaayyy!
I can tell scene by scene how incredibly bad those dialogs are but it will be nothing but waste of your time.
Anyways, if you want to watch ''Some old woman yells at Siri for 2 hours'', be my guest.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
The difference is night and day
This is not a Mad Max movie. And this is not the ''Fury Road'' prequel you would expected.
This is more like a theatral 40 mins of a boring, unimpressive, uninteresting, braindead backstory with comedic/charicaturized characters who are big fan of cosplayings. As soon as A. Taylor's part start, it kinda starts to become a little more bearable. But it still is comedic, zero serious, zero madness and almost zero cool things happening around the world.
The movie is an unending car chasing on Dakar rally championship and those are the only good things to mention about it: the action (which weren't too much or too impressive tbh)
Senua's Saga: Hellblade II (2024)
Something horrible happened to Ninja Theory
Hellblade 1 was one of the best game ive ever played. And everything i loved about it has gone on Hellblade 2. It's a walking simulator with way less gameplay even tho the combat has a well done mechanic+art. The puzzles are way less than previous. And unfortunately they are incredibly braindead unlike the first one which were super fun to solve.
THE STORY is incredibly empty and meaningless unlike H1. The characters have absolutely nothing deep/special to care. Bosses/enemies are terrible and dont even worth to mention. The voices in her head, this time around, are nothing but annoying. They serve absolutely nothing and dont tick any feel on player.
THE GRAPHICS, except the prologue, are actually a mess. The sea/water is PS2 level. There are too much noise on the screen and i'm not talking about the cinematic noise. The Cave episode was WAY too long and incredibly boring. The sparkle effects were also bad. It's 2024 and this game is the only game to have bad sparkle fx. There are no boss fights if you wonder. You just walk, run and kill a few minions with incredibly easy fashion. Level designs, unlike the first game, WERE BLAND af. Ninja Theory had A. Taini if you care for the graphic design. I wonder if he was part of this game cause it looked not.
The ONLY GOOD PART about this game was the score. PERFECT SOUND DESIGN. From music to voice acting to enviroment sounds, IT WAS PERFECTION! Overall.... What a disappointment! 4/10 (first game was 8/10)
Dune: Part Two (2024)
Stromtroopers! Step aside! We have worse NPCs now!
Every enemy/opponent in this movies are incredibly bad at fight/war. Also these armies supposed to ''conqure'' galactic wide of areas. But they have like 9 helicopters, 500 stromtroopers and a few personal guards with ''swords''.. lol
The only good and passable thing about those 2 movies are visuals but why do people overrate whenever they some some decent visuals? The characters, the dialogs, the action, and storytelling are so incredibly childish that it is unbelievable that writers&director aren't actually 13 years old kids.
The characters are especially so bad. None of them suits to ''what they should be''. Maybe because whenever we see a character there's a HUGE dB sound of ''WHAAAAAAAOOOO''. And for the love of god, can anyone tell me what's the deal with Zendeya? She looks like a genz tiktok influencer. None of those ''desert'' people looks like they do live there without water etc. And that BLUE EYES look LAUGHABLE on them.
The world is really effed up, isn't it?...since ''Oppenheimer, Barbie, Godzilla, Past lives & Poor things'' are on ''Oscars''? Lootbox & Live service gaming era of movies!
I.S.S. (2023)
Why do they always pick those characters?
6 mentally ill, scientificly incompetent, socially awkward psychopaths are in ISS. First of all, the black actress WAS TERRIBLE on acting. Anyways those astronauts literally do everything wrong. And they all have mental illness and unstable af even before anything happened. How did they even get this job?
Meanwhile half of the world is on fire, means literally the life in earth will be completely over in a few weeks AND SOMEHOW 2 countries that started the whole full nuclear war HAVE ALL THE COMMUNICATION and THEY ARE ALL FINE and they say ISS is the most important thing so kill the others.
FXs are terrible, nothing spectecular, story is meh, the black actress is TERRIBLE and.... just skip this, it is really bad.
Past Lives (2023)
If this cring-fest gets an Oscar...
..then it means all you have to do is to make a foreign game, make them talk foreign, hire a good camera director and that's all.
There's no story btw. I can write the whole synopsis in 3 sentences.
Dialog exchanges are TERRIBLE, the metaphors are laughable, the ''cringe'' waitings between each dialog from actors are mindblowingly bad.
So you might ask, why is this getting praised and bad reviews getting DOWNVOTED? Because this is a modern hippie movie with INCREDIBLY TALENTED CAMERA DIRECTOR. The only reason that i kept watching this pointless overrated-drama is the camera angles. The guy did amazing job.
If this wins, then the math is really EASY, you guys: make foreign movie, cast foreign, language choice foreign and there you are..you WON AN AUTO OSCAR.
The First Slam Dunk (2022)
Both disappointed and had fun (mostly of good memories)
SlamDunk anime is one of the funniest and also better sport animes of all time. I also read the whole manga and it is also extremely fun and exciting. SlamDunk franchise is about Hanamichi who just wants to impress a girl who is into basketball. This movie tho, for whatever reason, focuses on Ryota and sooo many dramas and so many basketball-loving moments. That's where they lost me on this. Visuals are 3d, the models are 1 on 1, some animations are great. But there are a lot of ''NPC'' moments. The worst aspect of the movie was the sound effects. For fans, it's a disappointment. For newcomers, it wont make a difference or buy the manga. They should've focus on Hanamichi and end it with him. Unfortunetely, it is a waste of oppotunity.
Lady Ballers (2023)
Edgy (could've been more), Brave (could've been more) and Fun (could've been more)
It could've been way better but wow.
I can't believe we got so many BAD ABSURD COMEDIES over a decade and this one came out of nowhere and hit so many the right buttons. Some dialog exchanges and some actings (especially the wife) are way too cheap but i ACTUALLY HAD FUN with the movie.
Kudos to everyone involved. Just like the SP Pander episode, THIS should've been DONE. Not because of social message, JUST BECAUSE IT IS FUNNY.
I also wanted to thank the makers for not putting unnecessary nudity and putting headphones on little girls ear when they use bad words. There were also some unseeable details like, it was something like ''The climate is about to burn you all any day''. I really hope we get more of these.
Oppenheimer (2023)
Incredibly overrated
The movie is 3 hours long and the (bg) music never stops for 2.5 hours. Whenever the music stops and you hear the enviroment you feel like you finally watch a quality movie. But then ''Youtube'' level of EDITING hits between each dialog exchange and the movie is ruined again. What do i mean by that? Let's say there's a dialog total of 10 sentences. There is not even breathing between sentences. Again, just like a Youtube video edit, where you cut the blanks just to have a faster speech. And the bad doesn't even end there. I know EVERY -ism and every scientific term they use. But that took my 40 years. I bet at least half of the audience have no idea what they listen for at least 2 hours. As a movie, it really FAILS to simplify-convert the story to the audience. The movie is not a movie. It is more of a documentary that's been over ''dramatized'' by terrible sound and amazing visuals and amazing cast.
Overrated!
Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Chapters: Special 2 (2023)
Season 3 was the pick
Then it falls down HARD right after that. Story gets super-duper mixed up and confusing because confusing and mixed up is ''cool''. In the end of the story appearantly nothing mattered. Everything was already decided from the beginning.
Visuals got hit harder than the story. It's not even close to the qualiity of the previous season. So, another part of what made it great, GONE! The music right after season 3 was also dead. All they did was re-use the old ones just whenever it is possible. So, no improvement at all.
In the end, ALL THE WAITS, all the DELAYS, and all these years come to point where every aspect of the show is inferior. Especially directing of Season 4 as a whole IS A CRIME. The editing, the animation, the storyboard...just everything, liiterally EVERYTHING looks and sounds rushed. From one of the greatest anime show of all time to some mediocre meh thing... How bad did the directors of Season 4 were to accomplish that? I say, they are terrible.
Suzume no Tojimari (2022)
it's actually not bad
Most animes literally suck at endings. But somehow this didn't suck although it wasn't a mindblowing twist like ''Your Name''. But at least it progressed well. Yeah there were a lot of cliches we've seen on many animes and many obsessions. But characters are likeable, not boring. VA are good unlike anime series. Animations were good, the colors could've been better but it's an art direction decision so...nothing to complain. My only complain would be the flashbacks not delivering.
It was a surprisingly good anime. Most animes nowadays are really really bad and most of them don't even have proper ending (yeah mangas too). But man, those anime-cliches must end.
Extraction 2 (2023)
First half is a must see
When the boring intro end and action starts, it is EPIC good. The uncut scenes, the blending of two different scenes, the transtions and the whole action are all superb.
But as soon as second half starts it is literally goes BACK TO standart action movies with LOTS OF CUTS and SHAKY CAM... The ending was also standart cliche thing that we've seen billion times. You can watch the movie just literally for the first action scene from the prison to train and the literally close the movie. Trust me, you'll lose nothing.
Extra word Extddra wssord Extrad word Extra woaradExtra word Extra word Extra wordleee.
Evil Dead Rise (2023)
It's comedy
It really is. Nothing makes sense, every scene has fault in it, horrible acting, bad scenes, overall incredibly bad scary movie that's not scary but just have some gore in it. The only ''good'' scene was maybe the opening? Since it was just ''straight up'' killing, instead of demons ''screaming'' or just ''holding''....lol SKIP THIS and THANK ME later.

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Expensive polished visual effects for cheap cliche Holywood script
I have so many things to point horrible cliches and a story that does not make sense but it would be nothing but waste of my time. Instead i'll just say if you watch this ON MUTE you will miss nothing. There were so many plot holes so many nonsense but i guess it is just for entertainment so i forgive those. But story is just so weak for this to be a masterpiece. Visually it is good but unlike most people say, i don't like this much of rainbowy-design. It's ''Ebru'' art from Turkish history. And it's on everything. Or it is ''Winamp Milkdrop Visualization'' effects on everything. I mean EVERYTHING. It is just, as i mentioned right now, overdone.
The orchestral music also is annoying. It never stopped. I have no idea why Holywood love it and it's essential on every friggin movie.
Glass Onion (2022)
He doesn't get why Knives Out was good
I had to keep rewind on every dialog like ''Am i missing something really special smart?'' and ''Am i too stup1d for this?''
OR ''This movie sucks!'' Yep..that was the answer when i finally reach the end. This movie is not good and nothing at all like ''Knives Out'' except the title. It's complex af just for the sake of being complex, it's twisted just for the sake of being TRYHARD twisted and LITERALLY EVERYTHING (acting, visuals, music, story, directing, the set..) IS ALL OVER THE PLACE.
First of all, the green screen is so obvious and horribly done that you can see GREEN TINT on characters. And voiceovers are super obvious that it felt like a casual TV series. The environment sound sounded like trial version of STOCK AUDIOS.
Clarity is at worst. The story, the dialogs, the characters and setting..everything is there to make you not understand anything. UNLIKE KNIVES OUT which TRIES TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND what really happened. Do you understand the difference?
None of the characters are likeable (every character in Knives Out is likeable (even tho they are villians)). The story is not interesting, the mystery is not really that big. It's all just big silly bowel of ''pretension''.
What a waste...
The Good Place (2016)
The most ''progressing forward'' show
Season 1&2 are straight up ''pretty damn good'' cause the characters are mean, the story is dynamic and keep progressing.
But just like all other failed seasons of shows, THE HUGS, the friendships, the morale, the message killed the show. After season 2, it's boring. The characters are oversaturated. Season finale was nothing but hugging, remembering, smiling, hugging, morale, love messages and other crabs like that where every other tv shows failed. Dear god, even Walking Dead failed cause of those. Remember when it was about survive or running away from Zombies? Now it's about friendships, trust, morale talks, love, hugs and crabs like that. Lol.
Season 1-2 thumbs up, Season 3-4 two thumbs down.
