I have watched the anime series too!
16 April 2024
The tv series picked the best and more crucial moments of the anime tv series and brought them into this adaptation.

It's not perfect for sure, there are some narrative issues and mismatches and I think this is why the original writers of the anime series left the Netflix production.

That said, the changes made doesn't impact me at all, a fan who watched the anime series.

Could be more fun? Sure, could the narrative and script be closer to the anime series? Absolutely. We know though that it won't be exactly the same, it's never has been with all other adaptations.

The visual effects are fabulous and The Avatar fans should be more thank grateful to having 3 seasons of it on Netflix.

A Masterpiece!
16 April 2024
An amazing anime tv series with strong narrative which makes sense, lots of fun, incredible interesting protagonists and their contribution really matters.

It's so unpredictable in every turn but all pieces come together. Strong lore is definitely the strength of the series but I have also to give kudos to the cast. Incredibly energetic they bring the best out of the characters.

If I have to be picky I would like a bit richer soundtrack, there are a few blank moments when the dialogues are just blank.

If you have watched the recent tv series of the last avatar then definitely you need to watch the anime series to get the full picture.

The Legend of Korra (2012–2014)
2/10
Terrible.....
16 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
After watching Avatar the Last Airbender anime series I had great expectations for Korra but it has utterly disappointed me.

Sorry if I have to speak very plainly but how is it possible for the Avatar Korra to be so stupid and useless most of the time?

I mean come on, is she there to help others out and rectify the situations? Because I have lost count of the times when other people including friends and foes saved Korra and figured things out for her.

Her stupidity managed to break the link with the other Avatars, something that no other Avatar managed it before lol

I don't know how many times from spirits to masters and foes told her that ''she's the worst avatar ever seen''. Korra also admitted a few times by herself lol.

The first-generation descendants of Aang are a bunch of jokers when is down to their abilities like they can't connect with the spirits world? They can't properly teach, Bumi never knew what he could bend etc. It's a real offence to the parents Aang and Katara who were magnificent!

This anime series had a great prospect but it has strong narrative issues, many things don't make sense, the protagonist is a hot-headed and goat-stubborn avatar with microscopic senses of wisdom and it's incredibly annoying to watch the most stupid avatar in history failing again... again.... and again,

It could be excellent if only.....

.... The narrative was not unnecessarily bloated and Xuan's acting was not so wooden. Honestly, this guy looks like he's on calms 24/7. Ridiculous! From episode 23 to 30 there's no meaningful progress in the main storyline but the story repeats itself affecting other people's lives. At last, I saw a happy ending in an Asian TV series production. This series could be excellent with 25 - 27 meaningful episodes.

Vikings: Valhalla (2022– )
4/10
Bloated and Flat.
9 April 2022
Its nowhere near to the masterpieces Vikings and the last Kingdom. The narrative is awful and meaningless, the acting is poor and trying too hard to like their roles with the exception of the English Queen and her advisor.

The Informer (2019)

What's wrong with the film?
9 April 2022
Nothing at all. I think many people should drop the "hard to please" attitude and enjoy this awesome film. Great cast, brilliant acting and awesome narrative. Fingers crossed for a sequel.

Memories of the Alhambra (2018–2019)
6/10
Ruined .....
11 March 2019
The director simply should seek another job in another industry after ruining this. Terrible and nonsense finale. No comments about the soundtracks I thought I should pull my hair off everytime I hear the same think over and over again during soft scenes.

The Order (2019–2020)
7/10
It has potential...
11 March 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The scenario is fab but the way the events unfold, I find it dissapointed. Main characters vanish/die too quick here and at some point I wasn't sure if there will be any left. The finale was dissapointing by seeing the villain outsmarted and defeated so easily. I gave 7 for the nice effects and moments of magic but the storyline and some acting need serious improvement.

Medici (2016–2019)
10/10
Season 1 was great Season 2 is MAGNIFICENT!
8 February 2019
Lets get this right. This is not a documentary but a tv series inspired by the Medici. Taking into account the acting, the script, the plot, the amazing soundtracks and the settings, 10 is a low score.

Disappointing.....

Warning: Spoilers
Unfair for Denzel to rate this film down but the scenario sucks. Against the Russians again? The Villain's name is ''Puskin''? Really? That's not a film that's a propaganda!

Hotel Artemis (2018)

That was Cool!
11 November 2018
Unique scenario and plot but... I would like to see more of it and not just under an 1 h and 30 mins film. That would be an awesome tv series.

Redbad (2018)
7/10
Not bad....
10 November 2018
Interesting film about the Legend of Redbad. I really liked the settings, costumes and some fight scenes although the film's soundtracks is a let down. The director could have done better by cutting many insignificant scenes which are boring. Good overall.

Knightfall (2017–2019)
9/10
Beautiful!
7 April 2018
Here is the thing, if you are looking for historical documentary or find the truth about the Templars then better look elsewhere. It has major historical inaccuracies as MOST of this category tv series. Now why is that? I don't know but as I said, I will not review Kinghtfall as a documentary but as historical drama which tells a story by blending true events and imaginary. The outcome is beautiful. Taking into account the budget spent, the settings the costumes, the fighting scenes, the romance, the cast, are great in my view. Some people moan about the soundtracks but I don't get it, we talk about Templars and not Harry Potter's Hogwarts school.
