Quantum Leap (2022)
Leave the past in the past (re-runs stick with the OG)
I grew up with Sam and Al leaping from decade to decade rewriting history, saving lives and kicking ass. With an iconic opening theme tune, an iconic catch phrase "O Boy!" and a chemistry between Sam and Al that carried the show for 5 seasons and multiple awards.
Now let's get on to the reboot. It feels cheap the first episode is set on one of the studio lots and it so obvious it's cringe. They're to many characters and you know that a lot of the series will be used exploring their background stories, there's no need for this if that's the case.
What is the end game with this show it could have been a straight up, square one restart on the idea, but to bring in old characters and try to make it a running back story to every episode will get very tiring very quickly.
Will Sam make a return ? Will the show make it that far to reveal Al's daughter, do we even care ?
We're living in a time of reboots and reimaging's, Hellraiser, True Lies, Chucky just to mention a few, where have all the original ideas gone ? My point is if you're going to reboot relaunch make it something the original fans want to watch. Make it nostalgic, not just pin hole an image of the original character and make up a convoluted story about Al's daughter.
Where the show goes from here is yet to be seen, but another one on the scrap heap of cancellations ? MAYBE ?
Love and Monsters (2020)
A happy ride 😁
This is one of the best movies I've seen all year.
Hints of Star Ship Troopers and a Zombie Land vibe, come together to make a disaster movie not so doom and gloom.
I can see a grabbing hole that could have been filled and put the icing on the cake it involves a certain red dress and a dog and the potential of a new love interest, but as in life just like the movies you can't have it all.
The cast all do great jobs Michael Rooker and the wee girl have a Big Daddy and Hit Girl type relationship which works really well.
The CGI monsters aren't going to blow anyone's mind but they're enjoyable. The movie's a fun ride with plenty of frills and emotion, one scene in particular strikes such a balance of beauty, emotion and sadness all backed by the song "Stand by me".
You feel for the main character as he goes on his journey and grows as the film progresses nothing's rushed and he doesn't go from zero to hero montage style in 5mins.
Some times all it takes is a little luck a grenade and 5 secs 😁.
Artemis Fowl (2020)
No sense, bad acting, forced, sad times
I knew this film was in production hell, but never did I think that a high profile Disney pic, especially with it meant to be a big title for their streaming service turn out so wrong. So badly acted. So badly filmed, so confusing. Spoilers ahead, how did the acorn thing come out of the mole man (no way a dwarf) after the time force shield thing collapsed ? How does he suddenly become a self proclaimed criminal mastermind ?Why does he inform the authorities Why ! Why ! Why ! ? And why can you clearly see an eye patch on the lead boy ( can't act for the love of god) under his glasses when he calls in Judy Dench for an interrogation/interview/talk ? there's clearly a blue patch and dressing going across his nose, then the next scene it's gone, awful awful awful movie makes no sense at all, last but no least why would an Irish man be proud to sit in a chair that was used in a British Palace ?
Mortal Kombat: Rebirth (2010)
WoW WoW WoW !
This is the style of Saw meeting the action of any good martial Arts film, no cheesy one liners gr8 cast for a short.
R-rated how the Mortal kombat's should have been from the start.
Characters based on madness and high power influence not supernatural and other dimensions crap, in a modern day city that is over run by crime and most likely corruption.
Even though only being a short i can picture in my mind so much more from this film. Any film company to see this short, and not turn it into a feature length movie which would almost certainly make it's money back and more, are stupid in my eye's. A good video game turn movie is hard to come by now a days this movie could bring life to an old franchise and breathe new life into old characters and bring new hope for all the fans who want to see a decent MK movie.
Here's hoping for a new MORTAL KOMBAT tournament FIGHT ! FATALITY !
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
Are u kidding
half the things aren't in it, Willy's dad's story line made no sense, and where the bubbles part Charlie and grand dad almost getting cut into little pieces y leave that out of a Tim Burton movie could have done so much with. Most disappointing film of 2005 in my eyes. Prefer the Original.
the acting was decent but the story wasn't true to the book y take a piece of history and rewrite it , Johnny the character a darkness that should have been more explained in the story. the bit with him telling mike to stop mumbling wot was the point. and where was the freaky guy wanting the gob stopper. What was the point in the film no what was the need and how can so many people rate it so high. Rohal god rest his soul must be turning in his Grave a childhood story has been shattered . i pray for the brides corpse to be better
