Devs: Episode #1.1 (2020)
Bad
First, why did the producers think it was a great idea to blow out my speakers with the loudest Saxaphone blare throughout this episode? The music is bad... I don't know what mood they're trying to set, but annoying is probably the wrong choice.
Second, the story.... is what? The main? Character is murdered after reading a mysterious code... why? Who knows. And then his girlfriend immediately thinks he's been murdered because that's the logical first step after someone doesn't come home. The writing makes no sense. The story is so thin they've padded it out with long streaches where people look at things. The things don't matter, people are just standing around looking. This episode could be condensed down to 10 minutes and lose nothing.
The acting is bad. Like, real bad. Accents are heavy, and the 'russian' guy doesn't have a Russian accent.... the American Asian girl who's not from Asia... has an accent... why? Why not? The range in acting goes from overacting to well under acting.
I have no idea what this show is about and at the end of the first episode I have zero desire to find out. But I'm so annoyed by the entirety that I felt compelled to write this review in the hopes I can save others from wasting their time.
Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Awesome
Spider-Man 2 was leaps and bounds above it's predecessor. The sequel takes off with a recap of what transpired in the 1st movie with wonderful paintings by comic artist Alex Ross. The movie starts off by showing the trouble Peter Parker is having trying to balance his life with the heroics of Spider-Man. And showing how it is just not working out for him. Sam Raimi shows how great a Director he is by making the story flow, and letting the audience feel what Peter is feeling. Toby McGuire and Kirsten Dunst do great work as well. The casting of "Doc Ock" was perfect as well. They could not have gotten a better actor than Alfred Molina. Even the special effects were unbelievably eye popping. Anyone who enjoyed the 1st Spider-Man will undoubtedly enjoy this one. And Anyone who enjoys action Movies would love this movie as well. Go see it!
