Star Wars: The Bad Batch: The Cavalry Has Arrived (2024)
A Beautiful Finale for The Bad Batch
'The Cavalry has Arrived' belongs with the best of the Star Wars episodes. It is a gripping, emotional finale to a great series.
The Bad Batch finale is a spectacular, emotional and visually-beautiful masterpiece. Nearly every scene contains beautiful shots that still feel very 'Star Warsy' and helps fans to make this farewell even more memorable.
In a surprising turn of events the story does not contain as many tropes as one would expect from a Star Wars show. There are surprises around every corner (literally) and the show's ending will make any fan long (even more) for more animated Star Wars shows.
The mesmerizing score that accompanies this finale feels like Kiner Music poured their hearts into it to bring any fan to tears.
The Cavalry Arrives is a great sendoff to the beloved series and will definitely be rewatched many, many times. Clone Force 99 might be over, but they will live on for a long time in the hearts of fans.
I Am Dead (2020)
Fun, emotional and challenging game.
(Why does this have a 6? That's outrageous even if this isn't a game review site)
When starting I am Dead I didn't know what I was in for. This game was a complete adventure of puzzles, fun characters with a lot of depth and emotional moments (Ogden and Sally😢). As someone who is a firm believer in the power of short stories and human stories I love this game SO MUCH. As someone who grew up near the sea (and can't seem to leave it) I can't believe how well this game emulates the feeling of being near the sea (what a wonderful amount of details). I completed the game 100% but I will be visiting Shelmerston in my mind for a long time...
What a game (10/10!)
Arkansas (2020)
'We'll be friends'
I'm going to keep this review short and simple.
'Arkansas' is a great movie with an original story, and suprises in every scene. The ending (and a big part of the movie) is tense, and emotional. Even though it might not be like the 'Tarantino' movie people had hoped it would be, it is a very good, enjoyable movie.
I Am Not Okay with This (2020)
Too many clichés, still amusing
7.5!
When I watched the trailer for this about a month ago, I didn't expect a great show. When I binged the show today, I realised that it wasn't the best show, but that it was still a good and really amusing show, it even made me laugh a few times. While watching 'I am not okay with this' , I found myself predicting what the characters would say and what would happen a lot and that's truly a shame, cause I think the actors could've handled a bit more. But even though this show sometimes feels like something you've seen before, it's still pretty amusing and well-made. Don't get me wrong, the story is pretty unique, but some story elements and scenes just feel like they belong in every standard Netflix drama/horror/scifi teen show. The music is really good, the acting is on point, it's just that the some scenes and lines could've been a bit more original.
I do feel like this show has a lot of potential, because the last 10 minutes of season 1 were phenomenal in comparison to the other episodes and might take the show to a whole new level.
In short, 'I am not okay with this' is a familiar, but amusing show (with a lot of potential) to watch if you're looking for a show to binge.
Doctor Sleep (2019)
Not The Shining, still good
Even though this movie wasn't anything like The Shining, it was still really amusing. Great acting and a story with subtle plottwists keep the movie interesting throughout. Visually the movie is amazing and there are some nice references to The Shining. I do have to say that I was kind of distracted by the original actor 'lookalikes' but I get that they didn't want to use a cgi face, this looked really natural. Even though it was not like The Shining, it's still a good movie that I enjoyed a lot. A worthy sequel.
Joker (2019)
Every movie should be this good
In my opinion Joker is a flawless movie. The dedicated way Joaquin Phoenix portrays the character is so unique you just have to appreciate it. The character development throughout the movie is some of the best I've ever seen and the cinematography was absolutely stunning. I was hooked for the 2 hours the movie lasted. I think if you appreciate movies as a form of art you must think this is one of the best movies out there, if you're just looking for a superhero movie to watch then you probably won't like it that much.
