Borderlands (2024)
It's not all that bad as majority says. Still mediocre at best though..
I played the game both 1 and 2 it was long ago. I don't remember all the details so this movie is sort just a reminiscing to me. Not really a die hard fanatic type anyways.
So back to the movie, it's mediocre at best but not all the bad to me. So what's wrong about it for me are the ff:
- Character representation mismatched (Lilith is younger in the game and she's too old here but not that bad. Roland is a tall and here he is short."
- The pandora world looks like so obviously unrealistic. Like low quality green screen lols
- Missing other characters from the game
- A rundown simplified plot, could have been a 2 and a half hour movie. Or part 1 and 2.
- Need more guns guns guns since borderlands was so much looting of guns guns 😂
Good:
- Still feels Borderlands even with it's flaws
- Clap Trap still being funny Clap Trap
- Still crazy action but felt underwhelming and short to be honest.
- Lilith played it well despite an old version of her lols.
To me I still think it is good acceptable movie if you forget the game. Yeah it's poor adaptation from the game overall but if you're just a simple dude who just wanna have a blast watching a movie without thinking about the game then you might just still enjoy it.
The Acolyte (2024)
Cool but not cool. Great but ain't
Honestly it started kinda cool with cast I never thought of. But they mixed in a so so cast. Then I thought it's a good balance for the show. Then it went from great to disappointment on every episode to the finale. They basically went full steam ahead killing all the great cast and leaving the so so not so great cast, kinda a let down. The acting performance of the main protagonist is totally off and just bad, and much worst on the kid version of it but I can let it slide for the sake.
Ok forget the cast and their acting skills and lets focus on the show as a whole for the story... Oh wait it's much worst there. Jedi got desperate for a padawan, got a good wishing wanna be padawan but didn't continue and went rogue then was framed by her evil twin then decides to be good not good then the other went evil good then joined forces then went on their own separate ways swapping sides and look at the sunset, the end. So freaking roller coaster ride kind of story. I get the point, forget Sol but remember the birth of the Sith and Nightsisters. Okie got it.
And theres that "Power of one, power of two and power of many...." that was supposedly a witch chant on their ritual which was shockingly awful. Isn't it supposed to be some unknown creepy chant of an unknown ancient language but nope, they went chanting that weird english chant again and again on the ritual...ok fine not important....
So why not 1 and still 6 out of 10. I like StarWars stories even if badly excuted like this one. I like also the character of Indara, Jecki, Vanestra, Yord and the masked sith Qimir. And the Star Wars world... I still kinda like it despite the disappointments because of phew...phew...phew...of the lasers and erzhhhh...erzhhh..erzhh... of the light sabers...
I find season 2 hopeless but if ever there is or will be then I am hoping they might redeem the show, story and it's ratings. I still want to give it a chance to develop. I hope they will bring in John Wick and Neo on season 2 😉 but dont kill him geezz...
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
Not what I expected but it filled some of the void from Road Fury
Road Fury left with many questions of Furiosa and this one is the answer we were all hoping for. Right? Well yes and no. Wait, what? Yeah, that's right!
Yes, Furiosa movie gave us a good back story, sure it did. Like where Furiosa came from, what was her life before Road Fury, how did she survived all this time, how did she lost her arm and some more.
No, because it gave more a lot of plot holes and questions also. Like what happened to the place of abundance, how did she just instantly became a nobody to somebody after escaping being a wife, did she went back to the place of abundance from her childhood and many more.
It was good action flick movie but not as grandure as Road Fury was. And seem to ended also with Road Fury events which is weird. It felt like the movie was setup for a sequel but doesn't.
I like the movie but I also find it confusing.
Civil War (2024)
One of the worst movie this year!
This movie is nothing more than a disappointment. I was expecting more about the Civil War but turned out to be just about the darn journalist and another wanna be journalist movie. The only civil war here is the background setting for the journalists. The story is almost meh no depth at all about the civil have zero depth at all. It's really boring to watch, nothing interesting developing nor even to see no matter how you thought and expect it to be, it always ain't it.
Utter complete waste of time to watch to be honest. Can't express the disappointment enough. So if you planning to watch this better ready your smartphone where it's much better fun to fiddle your phone than this movie.
Kidô senshi Gandamu: Suisei no majo (2022)
One of the worst Gundam shows
It started good and cool then it flatlined boring. That's how I describe the experience watching it.
The series started quite good then the rest of the episoded just warped into the black hole, well not entirely as it some moments it jumps up on the last episode or two moments then dives again. The show is flague with pacing on how to balance action, story and character development. I wanted to like it but it's just to dragged out on kiddy issues. I guess this show is mainly for kids under 10.
If you are planning to watch it do not expect much as ain't gonna be like Gundam Seed. Lower your expection and you might just like it.
Fast X (2023)
It's going down low this time.
I was expecting this to be great movie like the last. But to my surprised this is like going down hill already and too fast down. The plot is overly saturated with "FAMILY" thingy. It's becoming too much to be an excuse. Okay fine, family it is again. But still, even the action sequences is way too underwhelming and unimpressive compared to the previous ones. It's like watching a limited budget action movie. Even that rolling bomb in Rome seems low for the Fast franchise but that's the only main highlight of Fast X. It's good enough but too simple. And the rest of the action sequences is meh I'm not impressed at all even that last scene on dam seem like low ordinary explosion. Fast X seems to be back to Fast 5 again. Worst they decided to make it a two part movie as if this one isn't so low already. I'm not expecting the part 2 to be any better at all but I hope they can turn things around on part 2 before they ruin their franchise on the finale.
Black Site (2022)
5 For The Sake of their Star Cast
It had potential but they ran short on their budget. Their budget went 70% on paying their star cast and run a very limited budget on the movie production and the rest.
The plot kind bs non-sense thou it would have been okayish if at least made it a very good compelling action on it but I guess they ran dry on the budget on the area too. So they decided to tell their cast just do your most affordable thing you can make and just act like you do so in one take 'til we get this done.
It's very dull action movie despite the well known cast. Well at least they got the pay they deserve knowing they're on this film but at the cost of their viewers disappointment.
Liu lang di qiu 2 (2023)
It's a masterpiece movie but it has almost no soul at all
Considering how much I liked the first one, this is one just felt almost has no soul at all. It has a greatest movie idea ever. It's grandeur, story and effects so mind blowing but watching it feels like it has no soul all. It's also so darn boring listening and watching to all the drama and story it tries to convey. So darn opposite of the first one. As if they left that 90 % part to the audience to imagine the feeling we should have than relying on the movie itself to touch our emotions. This one will certainly make you fall asleep if you're not paying attention to what you're watching. This movie is really good at one thing though, exaggerating the idea and effects to no bounds since it's just a fictional sci-fi movie bs. Nonetheless, it's a good movie for the night with a popcorn.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)
It's for you and not for you!
The plot was surely interesting. Greek gods and powers, like wow this will be awesome. Mixed it with some cringy adult kids formula and it turned sour immediately. Nonetheless, it's good enough if you have nothing else better watch and you just want some time to pass by. As an adult who had fun watching other DC films this one just doesn't make any sense to me, even the first one. The Shazam on animated films I've watched are somehow more interesting and fun to watch. This one man is just pure slap in the face and too cringy to watch but I had to watch for 2hrs for the sake being DC. The after credits scene says it all why this is so disappointing. If you're not a kid this one will utterly disappoint you to the core. Otherwise you'll enjoy this to your hearts content if you're a kid or playing kid at heart with your kids and family.
The Night Agent (2023)
One of the best shows I have watched recently
I must say I never thought Night Agent would be this good. I was expecting more drama at the white house and some few killings here and there. To my surprise it's a lot more than that. It's very thrilling and gripping action mystery to be solve throughout the entire season. Everytime one episode ends it's creating this urge or temping me to want the next and so forth 'till I realized it's already 6am in the morning. I was darn hooked to it I never realized it's already sunrise. I never had this same feeling since 24 tv series on the same genre. Not as the same hard gritty action as 24 but the story, suspense, thrills and pacing almost the same. I totally enjoyed this one. Too bad Season 2 seems unlikely at this point but if they do I hope they maintain same level of formula as season 1 or even better.
Kung Fu (2021)
Very weak, weak and so so.
To be honest this show is very hard to watch and like. It's like trying to hate something you want to like.
The first season was so darn terrible. Full of side story non-sense unnecessary family drama. To make it worst they're very cringe to watch and trying so hard making their drama felt over acting. Not only that, it's main interest the so called "Kung Fu" action are often so short and disappointing. The fights are so darn very bad. I understand they're trying to lay the ground work but darn it's just so freaking bad. It's hard to watch through but I had to see it through. I'm rating the season as 2/10.
The second season. Well, I'm shocked it got a second season despite how terrible the first season was. Well you'll not be disappointed on season second, it's so much better than the first season. Almost well balanced from story, pacing, drama and the action. It's what it should have been. But still have some things to dislike but I will not ruin all for you. I'm sure you'll forgive their season 1. I'm rating this season as 6.5/10.
3rd season is terrible apparently. It's like between 1 and 2. It's an utter mess. You might like the last 2 episodes to the finale but still disappointing at best. I just wanna finished it so I don't wanna talk about it anymore. I hope it ends here. I am not looking for season 4 anymore.
So this show is more like 5/10 for me or even lower.
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
A long satisfying sequel but not without shortcoming
I cant believed we have to wait more than a decade long for a sequel. But well at least it's already here, and I am glad I watched another long Avatar film yet surprising underwhelming compared to the first one yet still satisfying to watch.
This long satisfying sequel is great but not without shortcomings. I find things here on a smaller scale and less grandeur from the first movie despite showing us great new waters of Pandora. Yet it's story closely follows similar pattern as the first one. Yes, it's a sequel so it should be obviously but they should have made it not so obvious. Sadly it's story it lacks depth than the first one. This is just more of simple revenge story plot line to me and seems to be it will still be for another round.
Nonetheless, Avatar Way of Water didn't disappoint us on showing another side of Pandora. It's spectacular looking great seas and underwater world of creatures. And that is why it is still the Avatar movie we all know from the first one.
I wish 3 and 4 will be on a as much grandeur as the first one. And a more deeper story rather than a simple revenge story plot line. I really like seeing more of Pandora and their mysterious ways. I'm sure there will be after watching Way of Water, as it seem they are setting up a some strong bases on this sequel that are yet to be explored and explained in the coming sequels.
More Avatar movie please...
Warrior Nun (2020)
It's nice but lousy
Warrior Nun is kinda nice but terrible on the best parts. The story is great and very interesting. I love the idea. The characters are great too, even the special effects. But it's being dragged down by a many so many very short lousy fight scenes. Though I notice some fight scenes are short but good but when there're so many involved it's being dragged down to the point they all look like just playing push me here and push me there like as if they forget they have powers and they have skills. That's the only part of this series I find it unsatifactory. I kinda wish there will be season 3 where they will actually improved better on that area.
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
Jurassic will always be what it is.
The same story, fun, adventurous and thrills. The way it should end. See you again after 2 decades. I'm sure they will be then be part of the natural wildlife of the world, no more parks.
NCIS: Hawai'i (2021)
My Magnum PI v0.5 but much worst.
I almost thought someone reshashed the Magnum PI for worst. Good thing title appears NCIS Hawaii every time. Someone seems thought of mashing FBI most wanted and Magnum PI = NCIS Hawaii. Good thing only one season. I don't mind this getting cancelled. Willing to trade this for Magnum PI instead.
The Walking Dead: World Beyond (2020)
Weak and Very Lame
I was expecting much about this spin off. But it turned out to be very lame and weak. Characters aren't even likable at all, not all but the main characters are just plain empty soul less acting. The zombies aren't even worth watching in this series as they more dumber and and not even scary at all.
Season 1 - Terrible, too boring.
Season 2 - Slightly better than season 2. Just a +1 to the 1 rating.
The only thing that makes this worth considering is that the title is a spin off on the original series The Walking Dead.
Bottomline. If you want to waste your time till you fall asleep at night then watch this. It will give you a goodnight sleep immediately.
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021)
The closest live action movie to the game itself
The movie is quite generic and straight forward but it's the closest live action movie you'd get to the game itself. But still not quite right and feels off to be honest. Still I find it good and worth watching for this version of the live action movie. I hope they will make a follow up that follows the game's story line.
Pan deng zhe (2019)
An interesting take of Chinese conquering the mount Everest
The movie itself really shows strong determination of conquering not only the greatest odds of mountaineering on Everest but also the sacrifices that have to be made for the sake of achieving the ultimate goal for any mountaineer and so as for their country. This is where the movie shines by a lot. You'll it good flowing down your skin as you watch it.
Where the movie doesn't shine? It's too unrealistic to be honest. The CGI made the location look odd compared to Western's Everest movies. The visual at the Everest are totally lacking realism to be honest. And also they made it way too dramatic and kinda long too to be honest.
Nonetheless, it's still an okay movie to watch but I've seen better. Even so it's not bad nor best but rather mediocre movie that is still worth your spare time.
Outcast (2014)
Not great but better than I expected
I wasnt expecting a good movie due to the review rating here in IMDB but I guess I was relying for it too much for was actually good and not for me. Glad I watched it anyway as it was really fun and entertaining for me.
Some lines are bad but not enough to dislike the entire movie. Action scenes and location are really good and entertaining. Hayden and Nicolas were good and fitting for the role but not their best to be praise. There isn't much character development to be honest its more like a straight forward stand up. The movie shines as an action adventure for general viewing which is really good enough for me to continue watching it to the end and where I can at least say its good movie than overall bad.
For me I'd say this is 6.5 out of 10 score which still good where I more enjoyed watching it than criticizing it.
The Commuter (2018)
His action thriller never gets old
The commuter seems like a pretty common plot for a thriller action movie. Normally, I am not fond of those in general as it can be dragging and long to boring. But if you put Liam Neeson on it in a good story plot on a movie like this it never gets old with him, it always end up interesting, thrilling and really gripping mystery how it will all unfold to the end. It started with some offered something for someone and he went haywire just going back and forth the train cars looking for this Prin", ha... no spoilers so I'll stop here. It reminded me a bit of the movie the Murder on the Orient Express but that was bit long dragging but okay, on this movie The Commuter it's much more thrilling and gripping as the story unfolds, ain't boring. I really liked this one with Lian Neeson, may not be as good as Non-Stop which feels similar but different circumstances but if you like Non-Stop or his Taken movies you'll like this one too, promise. Though you might put it on the third order. Nonetheless I say it's really worth watching.
He's getting old to be honest but I still hope he can more action thriller movies like this one that as good as Taken and Non-Stop.
A must watch!
The Great Wall (2016)
Good cool movie but not great, so many wasted opportunity that could have been better
I was really really looking forward to this movie since last year after seeing the trailer. It was damn cool so many troops and commanders that leads them against hordes of monster at the one of the seven wonder of the world, the Great Wall of China. Seems promising right! damn yeah...
First of all the opening wasn't dragging long talks of what's the movie is all about. You could say the opening is almost close to the trailer itself at the first siege. Which is if you ask me good but it almost all stops there because the rest of the grand scale I was expecting but was lost there. The movie kinda just focus on the Taotie(monster), Lin Mei and William and the rest are just background greatness of lost opportunity. It was good when William show off his skills and imperial troops did their part during the siege to repel those damn monsters which was really overwhelming to see. And then you will later realized why those damn troops so busy on the background but where are the rest of the colored powerful great commanders that you might be expecting to display their fighting skills. Well you wont see much about them, you'll see them commanding on few clips then on the feast...Lol. The story is really good but the movie kinda just a the WHOLE SUMMARY of the what could have been a great horde movie.
Well the overwhelming swarming monster attacking tactics might have been the reason why there aren't much of fighting them head on like LOTR heroes fights the orcs. But since it's a movie you everything is possible. They could have made same spots like when William and his friend fought them head on a diversion method as some of the monster got separated from the horde or when some reaches the top of the wall. I guess either in a hurry on the deadlines or there's isn't much of a budget? Common...
Bottom line, I adore William's skills and his buddy fight scenes plus the imperial troops all over that spans across the great wall but nothing more follows. As even Lin Mei wasn't much show off of her skills nor fight scenes. Sorry you wont see some kung fu or flying acrobatic fighting skills like you see on some Chinese movies or the expectation of grand scale Red Cliff movie I was expecting. It is a summary of great fantasy story in a movie, the end.
I will give it six out of ten but I remembered Lin's smile of cuteness so I will give a plus one instead ;). Let me be.... after all I still find the movie okay and good.
London Has Fallen (2016)
Good but surely lesser than the Olympus has Fallen
I like the fact that there's a follow up to the first one "Olympus Has Fallen". Hearing the "London has Fallen" seems like wish come true if you come to like the first one.
Well the opening seems rights and good makes you curious how it all happened but as the things happened after opening crisis where the London has fallen seems flowing slow to everything fell short and rush to the end too. Seems it went down all too fast, too short, less interesting than the plot of the first one.
Though it wasn't as good as the first one you can never deny the action packed movie but it just went well too plain and simple. You better watch "Olympus has Fallen" and "White House Down" and compare it to this one.
Anyhow, movie is a movie so I give this one a just right enough to keep me watching this franchise. But the 3rd one should live up to the first one.
Spectre (2015)
Most Mediocre Bond Yet since Daniel Craig
I always have high expectation on Bond films since Brosnan to Craig who took over after. It's always a big bang entertaining. Well this Spectre film on the Bond franchise seems the most mediocre among all of Craig's Bond films. Nothing much of highlight action, stunts, tech etc that you mostly see only on Bond films. The title "Spectre" is really cool and makes you have more higher expectation, well it's completely opposite after watching it. Casino Royale and Sky Fall are far better than this.
Okay, the film is not completely rubbish or bad at all. It's just that it's surprising that this is just sort of mediocre level despite being a Bond film. Anyway, it is still a good movie to watch. I don't wanna give it 6 since I like bond films so just 7. And will not talk about the positive points on the movie, can't recall much but you should probably know what is when it comes to bond films. yeah? :)
I'm looking far forward on the next Bond film to be far more great.
The Martian (2015)
I expected a lot for a more than 2 hrs movie but in the end i was not disappointed
Well the movie surely way too long, sometimes dull and boring but it made it more detailed and more intriguing. I love how the NASA tried solutions to save Mark and how Mark tried to solve complex problems just trying to stay alive before rescue arrives.
The surprising part is the CNSA's appearance who is actually willing to help NASA to save Mark. Who would have thought of that? Well it just made me feel that the two opposing nations can really work for a common good. I know in reality might be opposite but I'm sure behind the scenes there might cooperation between two agencies.
The Hermes crew went back using slingshot back and forth between Earth and Mars. Crazy as it sounds but that's how they work it out, though there was complication on picking up mark on orbit but they have successfully rescued him.
Well, the worst part is that is the ending. After hrs of watching the ending felt more unsatisfying and inconclusive. Once Mark hop inside the Hermes it then poof the scene instantly back to earth where Mark is already sitting on a bench in a park. It's like what? why rush the scene back to earth. Didn't even see the Hermes traveled back to earth, nor their arrival landing or even welcome party and other sort of scenes to commemorate the mission success. Well, as much as I wanna see that part there's none. Seems someone cut the movie in the end.
Well still the movie is really heart warming to watch, you might feel touched and gonna cry or some tears to shed. Assuming you watch and listen to it closely. If you don't well your conclusion is "boring" for sure.
Fantastic Four (2015)
Good or just okay fine. But worst than its predecessors.
The good only about this is the fact its a reboot that I really missed and enjoyed from the predecessors. I really liked Fantastic Four and sequel rise of the silver surfer but this one is like just to make me remember of those and not something any better. This is like a very low budget reboot. I guess this what happens when you let the kids messed up whats was already getting better.
The movie is almost very empty for action and more tell tale story telling. Short summary is just created the teleporter device to another dimension, they went there got their powers, went back again, stop doom(very simple & short) and the end. Thats it. Sigh.... The predecessors were a lot better to be honest.
Just rent it and never buy it.
