12 Monkeys (1995)
incredible movie, doesnt stand the test of time
Overall I liked the movie, I wasn't amazed or captivated by it however I can easily tell why or how it would have been revolutionary at its time before so many movies similar to this one (many also inspired by this one) were made.
The acting in this movie is great and so is the music.
The plot falls a bit dry nowadays and is kind of predictable, which is kind of standard to old movies that were considered revolutionary at the time.
The idea for the movie was great and while it sure is worth a watch it was incredibly outdone by others along the years to come.
I tried to make this as spoiler free as I could but I hope I still managed to get my opinion on it across.
Great Pretender (2020)
incredible at first disappointed by the second season
The first season was incredible and after watching it I thought it was amazing; the characters the music the animation and the story while sometimes corny was worthwhile in any sense. However the second season was simply a disappointment.
While the first season had 3 story arcs that were 5 episodes each, the second season was just a one VERY stretched out story arc. This was very annoying since I really liked the way the first season did it and it seemed like it was a great way of managing this show.
In addition the personality of lots of the main characters from the first season completely changed in the second, and it's not even as if they didn't know it. They started out the second season with a weird form of a recap which watching the first season and than immediately the second I noticed that the recap was completely off, in that weird recap he talked about some of the characters from the first season, and the way he described them was completely different from how they were in the first. I didn't think much of it because the whole point of the show is that he doesn't entirely knows everything, however it wasn't the case, the case was that they changed their personalities so they would make sense to their new story arc.
And that's not all, in the second season they started telling the backstory of one of the characters and just sort of trailed off for like 2 and half episodes telling a completely irrelevant story with characters that most of them not only that I don't care about. Its not that the mini story was terrible but it was completely irrelevant and it could have just been skipped and (this is a big spoiler) just used the same reason they started that operation instead of changed the reason from "we want the 3 billion dollars" to "we want revenged" because it would have worked out the same anyways and the characters wouldn't have had to be scrapped and given a different personality (also big spoilers-- I'm mainly talking about the blond and how they completely changed his character from charismatic leader to sad guy who you know what happened if you watched the show)
The ending was terrible and made no sense at all (how on earth do you survive being shot and than drowning in the middle of the pacific, you cant just wash up to shore that's what the weights are for)
and as for the human trafficking, every character in this show deserves nothing but the worst for knowing about the human trafficking ring and not doing anything about it. I see no reason why they involved the police and the international authorities. There is a reason why the category "crimes against humanity" was invented and this just goes to show why we need international law in real life.
I had to give this at least a 6 for the first season and its not like I completely suffered through the second season, I was just very confused and sometimes even disgusted by the actions of most of the characters.
Florence Foster Jenkins (2016)
Absolutely hilarious
Long story short I recommend seeing this with your family for some good laughs.
This movie follows a true story about a rich singer who had lived in the 1940s. And is a very fascinating story, while also even without the comedic affect given by the actors and directors, is by itself and incredibly hilarious story.
The acting is incredible, all of the main cast are absolutely amazing, I wont go into detail however I have to point out how outstanding Meryl Streep was in this movie. Not to even mention how great Hugh Grant and Simon Helberg were in this movie as well.
The movie overall is very comedic and is incredible well written, you can go into this movie knowing full well that it is going to make you laugh.
My brother and I watched it alongside with my father, and we all had an incredible time watching this masterpiece, it was genuinely hilarious and I recommend you, if you watch this to watch it with your friends or family.
Note: contains bad singing, don't watch if you are offended by bad singing,
Final Space (2018)
this is terrible
It seems that it is only me who feels that way due to how many positive reviews there are, however I do want to state that in my opinion it is not funny at all, I dislike the characters and the jokes.
It seems like I am alone in this and I do like shows similar to this, but I just don't find it funny, and it not like i only watched the first episode and decided it was trash, I have tried the fist 8 episodes and it just didnt connect with me.
I do think the music is good which is at least something, but it also seems to me that this is the only good aspect of this show.
One thing I would like to hate on that isn't subjective, is the animation, the animation is just extremely lazy and terrible, they made a singular very lazy and not detailed 3d model for most of the characters, and they use those models at least half the time, which to me seems incredibly lazy. Like at least if you do something like that make the model you are going to use for the rest of the show detailed in the slightest, but no, it was too much work for them. They had to make it so bad that you can clearly see when they switch from one to the other and it is very annoying to the eye.
Violet Evergarden (2018)
Incredible
Amazing world and characters full of beauty the show really makes you understand and care for this world and it's characters.
It has one of the best soundtracks I've heard in an anime and the music really pulls you into the experience and makes the word and narratives of the characters and rulers of this world feel real.
However i do have to add a pice of criticism that I noticed but wasn't enough to ruin the experience of the show: when you watch this show remember that whenever they say an age you need to add 4 to that age it has nothing to do with plot just that the writer doesn't understand how ages work.
I hope you find this show just as amusing as I did and have a wonderful time watching it.
