The Creator (2023)
I love sci-fi, but...
This movie let me down! Big disappointment. Great special effects, great future vehicles. Dunno if I agree with AI being benign or having a big heart!?? Yeah, they actually said that in this movie. Groan! Ask the striking writers what they think. This movie has a bunch of airheads, literally! Holes in their head! Including, apparently the director. Plus Ken Watanabe! What were u thinking Ken getting involved in this movie? Hard up?? So I love sci-fi, just not this one with plot so full of holes I can see Swiss cheese! Hope the next time this director can improve and give us a real plot not one so disjointed he can't even tell which scene he's in! But hey, loved to cool vehicle crashes and scenes shot in one of my most favorite scenic countries...Thailand.
Humanity's End (2008)
Can it get any worse...??
I don't really think so. Too bad they don't have negative star ratings. It might qualify for a minus 8 or minus 9! Unknown actors. Poor acting. Lousy special effects. After watching the first five minutes, I wanted to turn it off. But I told myself to watch it longer and give it a chance. After another minute, my wife said ENOUGH! I can't stand it. So off it went. Thank God!
Let Him Go (2020)
Let It Go, to the trash bin of poor movies
Ok, first half hour was very very slow. Ok, it has good actors, Diane Lane and The Waterworld flop guy. Enter a mysterious long haired Indian on their road trip. Then enter the mean domineering mother, you immediately hate and want to do away witch. Will that happen? Oh well, you've gotta see the movie to find out. But, don't waste your money. Unless, of course, you want to see a disgustingly sick chop chop. But, I think that's what they should do to this movie. Chop chop! Overall, not up to the park of these actors.
Tenet (2020)
Could have been better...
I love scifi. I really like time travel. But hey, this is a bad version of Groundhog Day and the confusion of The Sting. You walk out saying, what the heck did I just see?? while your brain tries to process the mismatch of plot you just watched. Some scenes you watch are interesting, like backward explosions while soldiers run thru the scene. In short, after the first 30 mins of trying to figure out what the movie is about, the last 30 mins make you feel-- it could have been better!!
Downhill (2020)
I love skiing, but...
This movie is abysmal. Probably going straight to dvd where I hope all copies are burned or shredded. I can't believe the actors even accepted their parts. The only thing redeeming was a cool avalanche, but sadly bit needed to wash everyone away! I agree with most other commenters, worst movie I've seen in 3 decades...
Ithaca (2015)
Slow and boring
I got the distinct impression that this is exactly the movie resting place for where once great actors go when they have lost their beauty and can no longer get good acting parts. Tom Hanks has a couple of minutes showing, Meg Ryan once pretty but no more, Sam Shepard dies at his job (predicted, he is looking pretty old in this movie). Overall a slow and non-moving antiwar movie. Nothing great, I'm bring generous giving it 2 stars mainly for big named actors in it, giving a substandard performance.
Jojo Rabbit (2019)
Oh my! After the 1st minute, I could tell this is a flop
My wife took me to this movie saying the reviews were great. Now I know better. Seems from all the 10/10s people were giving this movie, on the surface it might be a really good movie. After all, it was nominated four times, and won all four awards. NOT! Did these people watch the same movie my wife and I did??? Perhaps their humor is significantly different than ours!? Or, the brilliant reviews given now prove to me the world has actually gone mad. I've only walked out of two movies in my entire life. After 45 minutes, my wife asked me if I wanted to leave. And we did! What a freaking disappointment. Don't waste your money! See another movie...

Downton Abbey (2019)
Here here. Keep a stiff upper lip, my manal
British always act like the have a stick up their arse. This movie exemplifies that. The first hour is raaathar boring, but I liked the scenes and royalty privileges. The second half of it gets more interesting and enjoyable, as we see the effect on the manors staff when the kings entourage takes over during their visit. I never could see the ooohs and aaahs of the Brits around their royalty.
Ad Astra (2019)
Total disappointment after waiting so long for it...
Much like Arrival. So sad. Waited for nothing. Boring, boring, boring. The first five minutes was the best. U can go to sleep after that. U Won't miss much.
All Is Lost (2013)
Should be able to rate negative stars... It would be - 10!!!
Robert Redford proves he should be on no boat! How many people were paid to get a Metascore of 87??? Must have been expensive! Like his sinking boat, RR's career totally sinks in this fairy tale most unbelievable movie! Go watch him in Butch and Sundance Kid where he shined above water. Then, YOU won't want to run screaming in pain out of the theater for a waste of two hours if u do with this farcical movie. I hope it didn't make enough minievto pay for the sunken sailboat!
The Kid Who Would Be King (2019)
I agree with the other comment...a surprise!!
Run run run! Don't waste your money or time! No wonder Disney is losing big money on this incredibly big flop, probably their largest to date. Disney, once a leader in children's cartoons and movies, sinks to a new low in boring, boring, boring, and the occult. Very bad version of Harry Potter clone. One movie I couldn't WAIT to end...
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)
Oh my, what a confusing waste of time
I've gotta admit upfront. Half way thru this movie my wife had to wake me up because I was snoring loudly. That's because this movie is so confusing and boring it will put u to sleep. We jointly thought about changing theaters to see a different movie. We sure should have. I'd rate this a negative 2 IF they had that. Boooooooring!!!!!
Widows (2018)
Boring and violent, hits almost all man's vices
From sex, to deception, to thievery, to sadism, to incest, to gratuitous sex, to political shenanigans. Er. What have I left out. I just don't like a movie that starts by the director thanking me for coming to see his masterpiece, which it obviously isn't. B8ig red flag. We went to see it because of the high rating reviews, but after the first five minutes of exciting turns into a borish monstrosity of pain, futility and deception that left us leaving the theater in awe of losing a couple hours of our life never to get back. When my wife looks at me 15 or 20 minutes after starting, I can tell we made a joint mistake Actors are decent, but the parts they play aren't. Save your money, choose something else. Run run run when the director with a famous name starts thanking u for coming at it's beginning.
