First Knight (1995)

Awful

[3/10 · 8 June 2022]

Watched this movie again in 2022 and , my god, how awful is Richard Gere? What a load of self-obsessed brown stuff he turned a half decent telling of the Arthurian legend into.

John Carter (2012)

Underrated film

[8/10 · 1 May 2022]

This is a good watch, cannot understand why it bombed so badly, timing? Title? Who knows? But it should have done much better as it is entertaining, well made and generally good.

Blacklight (2022)

Disappointing

[2/10 · 30 March 2022]

Should've been a standard actioner, but while it bubbled along albeit a bit disjointed , the ending was terrible, felt like they'd run out of time or budget.

F9: The Fast Saga (2021)

The horse is dead , stop flogging it

[1/10 · 14 March 2022]

My god this is rubbish, this franchise has gotten slowly worse and more desperate, ridiculous stunts , poor acting and a storyline to forget.

P.s. Will people stop keep deluding Cena that he can act please ?

Edit:Watched it again, down rated from 3 to 1 , think I was generous.

Black Panther (2018)

Oscars? Really?

[6/10 · 6 March 2022]

This is a decent film, watchable, but in no way better than many other marvel offerings, shame the Oscar will be credited to PC instead of deserved.

Would recommend the movie to watch, but don't expect to be challenged.

Welcome to Sudden Death (2020 Video)

Good grief

[1/10 · 1 February 2022]

This movie has the distinction of being worse than a pretty awful(but far more enjoyable) original, it's so badly acted , you'd think it was a parody movie.

Eternals (2021)

Not as bad as some reviews

[7/10 · 31 January 2022]

Thought this (although a bit long) was Entertaining and I enjoyed it, maybe some people expect too much , but it plodded along with a steady pace which I thought worked, set up sequels and crossovers very well.

Brimstone (2016)

That was a hard watch

[7/10 · 18 January 2022]

This film left me cold, the subject matter was disturbing to put it mildly. However, any film that stirs emotions like this is definitely worth watching. Even the ending was depressing in some ways, although clever .

Watch it , but be prepared to be creeped out a lot.

Jungle Cruise (2021)

Get what you expect

[4/10 · 21 November 2021]

Dwayne Johnson being Dwayne Johnson Jack Whitehall can't act Emily Blunt not good in this Average plot , getting quite repetitive and boring now, Jumanji was fun , the sequel was worse and this feels like weak versions of the original Mummy characters.

Cosmic Sin (2021)

Oh my god

[1/10 · 4 November 2021]

Can't really give a review as there aren't the words to describe this steaming pile Do not waste the precious minutes of life it would need to confirm how awful this is.

The Suicide Squad (2021)

Ok , but not great

[5/10 · 13 September 2021]

Seeing all the good reviews, I feel they must be die hard fans , as I thought this was entertaining but average. John Cena cannot act even a little and detracted a little Worth a watch , but not a wow film.

After Earth (2013)

What a crock

[1/10 · 1 June 2021]

How on after earth did this pile of steaming manure get made ??

The Witcher (2019– )

Give it a chance

[8/10 · 26 December 2020]

Was confusing, story bounced around a bit, but the acting and underlying story was excellent, watch it twice, it may make more sense

In the Name of the King: Two Worlds (2011)

Oh dear

[2/10 · 25 September 2020]

The first one was at least entertaining, couldn't even work out if this was supposed to be a parody. Avoid

Passchendaele (2008)

Watch it yourself, the reviews are mixed

[8/10 · 22 September 2020]

Wow, this movie really galvanises opinion, so many 1 or 2 ratings, yet so many 9 or 10's I thoroughly enjoyed it and like the idea of creating a story around the battle, yes there are cliches, but pretty accurate ones, my sugestion is watch it and draw your own conclusions

Cobra Kai (2018–2025)

Perfect blend

[10/10 · 12 September 2020]

10/10 is rare, but this has everything, comedy, drama, nostalgia and good story, watch it!!

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)

Good but not amazing

[7/10 · 13 August 2020]

People seem to be getting hung up on Rachel Weitsz absence, maybe it's not as good as the first 2, maybe it is missing some chemistry but it's still fun and entertaining

Two Tails (2018)

Abysmal is kind

[1/10 · 16 July 2020]

Russian movie with a rating of over 5 when it is this bad? Maybe the conspiracy theories are right, definitely bots or hacking as noone could think this pile of steaming is remotely watchable

Warrior Nun: Ecclesiasticus 26:9-10 (2020) Season 1, Episode 4

Snails pace

[3/10 · 14 July 2020]

This is getting worse, an obnoxius hero, stumbling through a ridiculous script, i thought it had so much potential, hope it salvages itself later

Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)

Average at best

[4/10 · 23 April 2020]

Think a lot of people saw a different movie to me, enjoyed the first one, but this was dire

Robert the Bruce (2019)

Yaaawn

[4/10 · 14 March 2020]

What, so slow and drawn out, Outlaw King is a much better movie

The Last Outlaw (1993 TV Movie)

Well worth watching

[9/10 · 8 March 2020]

Apart from Mickey Rourkes distracting facial paint/lift this was a very underrated film, good cast, good story and engaging to watch, can't understand the low scores considering this is a tv movie

True Grit (2010)

Up there with the best

[9/10 · 25 February 2020]

As a JW fan i was a little apprehensive about another remake, but I am pleasantly suprised to say, it's excellent, the same story, but with subtle embellishments and changes enough to make it fresh. Think the performances were top notch and the decision to focus more on Maddie is inspired

The Rebels (2019)

Wow, so bad

[2/10 · 4 February 2020]

Decent idea, poorly acted, terribly scripted and diabolical direction, what a shame

Daughter of the Wolf (2019)

Wow, that was dire

[2/10 · 1 August 2019]

This film borrowed from many others and it shows, disjointed, awful acting and not worth the efforts, shame really
