Blue Beetle (2023)
Ticks a box and that's about it.
I don't feel like it's a great concept, I'm not familiar withe the source material and to be honest I don't really feel like it's a good film, seems like it exists to tick a few boxes for people with agendas, not very original, feels like a spiderman rip off, can't really rate it, it's predictable and I my opinion a bit boring, if there was a sequel I doubt I would watch it. For a DC film it's a hit disappointing, I just don't understand why they would think this story would be appealing to any audience except the small audience it is aiming to please. There's probably a reason I haven't heard of this superhero before!
Twisted Metal (2023)
Really good series, not really true to the game
Even though this series is a bit of a stretch from the plot of the game it's actually really good and one of the most entertaining series I've watched in a while. The actors are well known and do a great job. It's probably a lot more entertaining than the game was and to be honest I really love the direction of this series, I'm upto episode 8 so have no idea how it ends but regardless, I can't wait for season 2, hopefully, fingers crossed 🤞. I really like the characters and would love to see how they developed to be who they are in the world of today in twisted metal, we see the past of the main characters but I really wanna see how the world they live in became so toxic.
The Many Saints of Newark (2021)
Pretty boring!
This film is so slow, when it finally reaches somewhere that seems to actually be progressing it ends, considering it's a 2hr long film not much really happens, it's just a drawn out beginning of a movie with no substance. Really disappointing!
The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)
I have never been so disappointed
I loved the haunting of hill house, but this was terrible, I've never been so infuriated by a series! Considering it's supposed to be part of the haunting of hill house franchise it was a completely different league of a show, imagine watching terminator and thinking yup I enjoyed that and then seeing terminator 2 and it's arnie acting in a version of the sound of music! That is the same as this, "it's not a horror, it's a love story" a quote from the last 5 minutes of the show, if you would have said that at the beginning I would have saved myself 9 hours!
The App (2019)
It was absolutely terrible
You spend your whole time trying to work out a plot that reveals itself to be non existent, the trailer makes it look like a movie about a guy cheating on his girlfriend on a dating app but this was very misleading in my opinion. And the hotel workers role was just confusing, what was the purpose of her behaviour? Puzzling film with a reveal of emptyness
Rise of the Footsoldier 4: Marbella (2019)
Craig Fairbrass as pat tate makes this film!
It's a great expansion on the pat tate story within the Essex Boys / rise of the footsoldier story, I could watch Craig in this role all day long, it's also fantastic to see Terry Stone Don the wig of Tony tucker once more. The plot of the film expands on the happenings of the last rise of the footsoldier film, drugs, mugs and violence. Fantastic film, I really wouldn't mind if more of this films were made but based on complete fiction, I would watch every single one of them as they are great British gangster films.
