Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

Watchable, not enjoyable!

[5/10 · 8 September 2022]

Seems as though they've tried to cater for the new generation of overly sensitive dimwits with their cheesy embarrassing jokes and bland writing which didn't really go anywhere! They (MCU/Disney) are going backwards with this phase 4, by destroying something that was original and was working by keeping the fans entertained. Now, we'll watch their shows just to stay in tune with the MCU storyline but we won't enjoy it and left puzzled, wondering how they could release the rubbish (which seemed rushed, unfinished).

Once again, they should seperate Disney Kids from the MCU timeline, yes by all means let those two timelines intertwine and crossover but don't make the Disney Kids shows the MCU timeline. The original MCU fans from comic book days to the first MCU shows will be lost because of this childish Disney meets MCU series and movies, a waste!

For All Mankind (2019– )

Everything is "what if?"

[8/10 · 24 August 2022]

Exceptional story and it is what they say it is: drama, sci-fi. All based on what if's, covering loads of on going issues from racism, homophobia, gender based issues but covers the problems, solutions, possible outcome. Well in my opinion that is! Very entertaining, easy to watch when binging.

Jurassic World Dominion (2022)

Let me save you the trouble!

[4/10 · 14 July 2022]

No spoilers BUT in a nutshell: its basically the same as every other Jurassic movie in this franchise, all that changes is the location, the villain and a few newbies thrown into the mix! Beginning, middle and end is the the same and has the same outcome, its repetitive and boring!

The Man Who Fell to Earth (2022)

Brilliant and hilarious

[7/10 · 12 July 2022]

Haven't watched a show that offers sci-fi, drama and subtle hints of humor since the days of Fringe! Honestly, this is an absolute gem and I hope there's more to follow. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed and if you are, then its best you go watch My Little Pony!

We Hunt Together (2020– )

Entertaining, funny, great story

[8/10 · 4 July 2022]

Honestly, you can very rarely go wrong with a UK crime series. They just do everything right, stories have a lot of twists and turns. This one at least has some great humor nestled in between the serious investigation, which sets it above all the rest.

I recently started on S09 of The Blacklist and was like meh, this is trash. They don't even wear crime scene protective gear, useless bunch. Once you've started your UK crime series with Line of Duty, you'll never watch a US crime show again.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

The trailer caught me but the movie didn't!

[6/10 · 30 June 2022]

In other words, the trailer for this seemed to come across as an action packed dark adventure but in actual fact the movie was just a regular adventure for an Avenger! I think besides that, you telling me there wasn't another option to beat Wanda? Ummm yes, take her power FFS. It's for the greater good or how about killing all the Wandas or even threaten Wandas fake kids, like ship them off to dark dimension! Think out of the box!

Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)

10/10 for Vivien Blair's as Leia Organa

[10/10 · 26 June 2022]

WOW, what a sterling young actress. Better than most adult actors these days that have decades of experience. Series was ok, doesn't make sense why Obi didn't do more damage to Darth. He could of saved the galaxy twice but chose the Jedi way, sometimes one must die in order to save trillions of lives!

Law & Order: Organized Crime (2021– )

season 2 was remarkable

[8/10 · 6 June 2022]

Season 2 is a mad roller coaster, much darker and more gritty than the other law and orders plus season 2 is like 4 seasons in one as there are a few story lines packed into 1 season. Really enjoyed this.

The Lost City (2022)

Most boring movie of 2022

[4/10 · 24 May 2022]

Such a great cast, but extremely boring! 4 stars is for Brad Pitt, what a legend. Other than that, the jokes were so bad, one liners were terrible and thats what this whole movie seemed to be based on.

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021)

A disgrace to the franchise!

[1/10 · 23 December 2021]

Pure and utter garbage! Terrible terrible acting, the script was even worse and the graphics or visual effects was even worse than worse! Why did they try reboot and redo what had already been done and actually became worse as the franchise went on, like Mortal Kombat etc.

The White Lotus (2021–2025)

It's not cringe, it's real and raw!

[10/10 · 18 September 2021]

Everyone calling it cringe but great! It's not cringe but it is great and it's basically real raw humor. What most shows don't know a thing about these days. So if you want a show filled with adult humor (not for snowflakes or kids) and surprise moments that will literally leave you gasping, this is the show.

The Green Knight (2021)

WTF was that? Watch on LSD!

[2/10 · 19 August 2021]

Better to double drop LSD with the mates and then watch this, it will make much more sense!

Don't even know where to begin with this but what a waste of 2 hours, goddamn! People saying "but the movie had such stunning settings and gorgeous locations! If that's what you want from a movie, go watch a Nat Geo show with David narrating!

This made zero sense from start to finish, yes I was stupid enough to watch the whole damn movie! Acting was on point but shame, the story as a whole was a shambles!

Clarkson's Farm (2021– )

This is the definition of reality tv!

[10/10 · 26 June 2021]

Unscripted and brilliant! I hope they continue with this show, as it's the funniest I've watched in a long time! Clarkson has some brilliant ideas and the team they have on the show are a perfect combination of serious and funny. Can you imagine if Guy Ritchie directed this from his point of view!

Nancy Drew (2019–2023)

Clean the damn kitchen!

[5/10 · 21 June 2021]

The restaurant where 90% of the show takes place, is open and serving people food from an absolutely filthy kitchen! Why TF would anyone eat out of there? Even the outside is falling to pieces, yet the owner is super wealthy! The show is a great time waster, nothing too serious happening. Worth a watch but sort out that dodgy restaurant!

Jupiter's Legacy (2021)

A weak wreck!

[4/10 · 14 June 2021]

Far to much confusion in the timelines and honestly, quite a pathetic reasoning behind them being given powers! I'm grateful this has been cancelled, the only decent things about this show was their costumes and no season 2!

Army of the Dead (2021)

Nothing spectacular tbh

[5/10 · 22 May 2021]

The hype for this was over rated and exaggerated in the trailers! Dont get me wrong, its a great action movie with zombies BUT they still die the same way, if they were clever enough to have altered the way the zombies died, it would be a winner. Simply because, in ALL zombies shows the zombies die the same way. ANYWAY, nothing to brag about.

Jupiter's Legacy (2021)

Good but not great!

[4/10 · 15 May 2021]

Honestly, its a strange story and all over the show. Yes of course i understand the show jumps between timelines to inform us of how these characters got their powers but even when it jumps between timelines, its a bit offish and doesnt make any sense why this specific person was chosen to receive this gift and must include a bunch of his buddies as well! Why? Well, we dont know why and thats what doesnt make sense!

We've been spoiled with choices these days and whether we like it or not, we'll always compare shows like this to the last best super hero show we watched and in most cases its MCU! Netflix did try and they are always changing the game, so my stars for the review are for that.

So its watchable but will not leave you gasping for more, if season two comes out, i'll give it a skip and watch Mr Bean!

Shadow and Bone (2021–2023)

Brilliant!

[10/10 · 1 May 2021]

In few words: absolutely brilliant, original and unique!

Nobody (I) (2021)

John Wick + Boss Level + Steroids + Cocaine = Nobody

[10/10 · 16 April 2021]

I'm not going to spill any beans, so all i'm going to say is: DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN! I wasn't expecting that! Absolutely brilliant action movie.. Going to watch this again this weekend!

Cypher (2021– )

They need a better team!

[3/10 · 24 March 2021]

The whole team hasn't done well! The director, actors and even as far as the stunt men and women, where you can clearly see their wigs. If they get a better team together, i'll watch season two. Otherwise, it was terrible to watch to be honest.

SAS: Red Notice (2021)

Ruby Rose is no rose!

[2/10 · 13 March 2021]

I honestly dont know how Ruby gets acting jobs! She really ruins everything she's in, for the simple reason: she has no clue how to actually act! Give it a miss!

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

What happened now? From brilliant to terrible!

[3/10 · 9 March 2021]

I've never understood DC and their DC films, majority of their releases have been so bad and yet they continue to do remakes of the same things! For the last 30+ years, its been batman and superman on repeat! They have such a massive range of heroes in their collection or list of options waiting to be released, yet none of them ever see the light of day! Then WW1 was released and it was brilliant, one of their biggest blockbusters and DC was back on top form and now WW2, takes them back to square one! The whole show didnt make any sense, so dont blame covid-19 and the closing of theaters around the world! The movie itself was trash! Patty went from world class director to a budget c director! Rather give this a miss, its not worth it tbh!

Cosmic Sin (2021)

Wahahaha Bruce is taking on anything these days!

[3/10 · 8 March 2021]

Bruce is becoming Steven Seagal, he's got bills to pay and it shows in his acting nowadays! The passion is gone but as long as i can get paid, who cares (attitude)! Give it a miss, its terrible from start to 10 minutes in (is all i could handle)!

Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)

Fantastic easy watch 8pm movie!

[7/10 · 8 March 2021]

The kind of movie you pop on and relax with popcorn, no thinking required! just zone out and relax the evening away until you nap! Thanks

Boss Level (2020)

TBH pure enjoyment!

[10/10 · 8 March 2021]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Its pretty much hardcore action all the way!
