Heart of Stone (2023)
Nice action movie
I saw all the negative scores and I just had to step in. It's a decent action movie. Great action scenes, nice stunts and a game like plot.
All the negativity doesn't make any sense. Okay they are better movies in this genre and yes there are movies with a better plot. But people seem to forget that this is a film made for streaming and not for the cinemas. So stop with comparing these things.
Gal Gadot makes a great action hero and carries the movie. The Alpine scenes and the chase in Portugal are great. Just to mention a few sequences.
So if you want to to have a nice movie evening go and watch this. And let's hope the film gets the credit it deserves and not the negative reviews that don't make any sense.
Hope there will be a sequel.
Meg 2: The Trench (2023)
Mega absence
It's called Meg, but there is not a lot of Meg action. Since there are 3 of them and a giant octopus, there should have been more action involving these animals. And what about these deep see Dino's. What was that about? The story is a mess. The deep see diving without a special suit was ridiculous, even in a movie like this it makes no sense. And the plot is a joke.
And then there is some inconsistency. Jonas takes 3 spear bombs, throws 2 and the next scene he still has 2 on his back. Two guys are being shot at, they have to climb a ladder while suppressed by automatic weapons, next scene they are up the ladder and rush trough a door.
The Witcher: Blood Origin (2022)
Not as bad as people say
It's not as bad as people say it is and rate this show. It doesn't have the same character depth and layers in the story as the original Witcher, but it was enjoyable. Good fight sequences with Michelle Yeoh give the story a nice martial arts twist. The choreography is done very well. Only thing that is poorly done is the special effects when it comes to monsters. Looks as if there was no budget left to create decent looking monsters. Ones that convince the audience it belongs in the scenes. Now they look very cheap. It's 2022 so it could and should be much better. Go see for yourself that the ratings are much too low, and that the haters are wrong. Have fun's.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022)
Why??
Thought it couldn't get worse after Ms. Marvel, but they really messed it up. The sfx look like they where done 20 years ago, the story isn't helping either, the episodes are very short and when they try to be funny it's everything but. Watched the first two episodes but that's enough torture for me.
Resident Evil (2022)
Another kill shot by Netflix
This show has nothing to do with Resident Evil. Sure it's about Umbrella, a virus and some monsters, but that's all. The story is weak, the cgi poor and the action is lame. Netflix fired another kill shot and single-handedly destroyed a franchise. The only funny thing is Bert the Wester clone. He should get a sitcom.
Interceptor (2022)
Just don't
Not worth watching. Story is poorly written and the acting is even worse. Dialogues are bad, sfx are a joke and the fighting is amateuristic. Next time Netflix needs to increase the budget or not approve a project such as this one.
Dirty Lines (2022)
Funny history show
A fun to watch show telling the history of the first phone sex company, the start of the Dutch dance and xtc. Was a great trip down memory lane. Bringing back the last years of the 80's.
Tenet (2020)
Just to obvious
From the start of the film it's obvious where the storyline would go. You just know the protagonist is the guy who directs everything that would happen. The airport scene gives everything away. The protagonist fighting a guy in full gear and in the opposite room his partner who takes of the helmet of the "other" guy. It spoiled the entire movie. I just knew it had to be the protagonist who was mirrored in the same timeline. Same for the boat scene where the wive sees "another" woman jump into the water. Never use the same trick twice. But hey....Nolan does the same trick over and over again. The action makes it watchable, but a 6 it is.
Queen of the South (2016)
No Spanish
Is it 1985? Why do Mexicans speak English to each other? Besides that, the acting was bad, the story has many flaws and the action is just poor.
A big no.
Criminal: UK (2019)
Stress and claustrophobia
Amazing acting. You can feel the stress and the claustrophobia levels rising as the interrogation gets more intense.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Not the finale we deserve
Finally it's here. But not the finale we deserve. The story is quite thin, the action is scarce and the 3+ hours is too much. The humor saves the movie. Without humor it would have been a total disaster. This should have been the finale that would be epic. Looks like they where going for the quick money instead of waiting to perfect it. Sad to see it end like this.
