House of the Dragon (2022)
Worst series in the history of television
I couldn't make it past the first 20 pages of the book without dying of boredom before giving up on it, but the first season of this series looked very promising so I made the mistake of committing myself to it.
The story is incredibly weak, the acting is weak, the politics is weak, and the dialogue is weak.
They keep fast forwarding the story by months and years at a time in between episodes without even having the courtesy to tell you how much time has actually elapsed since the previous piece of trash episode, and in episode 6, they fast forward the story so much that they have to replace half the actors with older ones just as you've become used to them.
George R. R. Martin struck it lucky with Game of Thrones, and the books that he never finished are the only good books he ever wrote. Everything else he wrote is absolute garbage and he clearly hasn't finished the books that were good because he knows that he will serve them a gross injustice. He should seriously go into retirement now instead of wasting our valuable time exposing us to this garbage he is creating lately.
Lisey's Story (2021)
J J Abrams applies his Anti Midas touch to yet another series
As though its not enough that the sheer incompetence of J J Abrams has already ruined great shows like Lost and Fringe, he has ruined yet ANOTHER TV series.
I should have known better than to even start watching this immense heap of garbage once I saw his name as an Executive Producer but unfortunately I believe people should be given a chance to redeem themselves, but J J Abrams is so grossly incompetent, that he is beyond redemtion.
My only question is, why do people allow him to ruin their movies and give him money to ruin things time and again when he should be banished from Hollywood and never allowed to touch another movie or TV series ever again?
The Boys (2019)
Second season is garbage
The first season was awesome but the second season is extremely disappointing and the biggest heap of garbage in the history of television. The writers need to be fired.
Ibiza (2018)
Worst movie of all time
This movie is worse than a home video. It doesn't have any kind of plot whatsoever and is a complete and utter waste of time. I would rather watch those shark/piranha movies, they have more of a plot than this movie does. I would really recommend avoiding this movie at all costs, you'll never get that wasted time of your life back. Unfortunately I am forced to give it a 1 star rating, but it is so bad, it actually deserves less than zero stars.
Doctor Sleep (2019)
Poor casting of Ewan McGregor but otherwise great
This would have otherwise been a great film if not for the casting of Ewan McGregor as the now adult Danny Torrance. As much as he tries to put on an American accent, he fails dismally and I found it to be a big put off, since Danny was born and raised by an American family in America, so his out of place accent makes no sense whatsoever. Gerard Butler does a much better job of pulling off the accent than what he does.
The rest of the actors do an amazing job, but Ewan McGregor basically ruins the entire movie. They should have found an American actor or one who could at least pull off the accent to be Danny Torrance. Overall his acting isn't bad, I just don't like his accent shining through.
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
Not worthy of watching on the big screen, or at all.
When I saw the poster for this film, I thought it looked like a heap of garbage, but I am usually a huge Quentin Tarentino fan, so when I discovered it was one of his films, I immediately booked tickets to watch it at the IMAX.
That was a huge mistake. There is nothing about this film that makes it worth watching at the cinema, let alone at the IMAX. I regret wasting my money on this movie, it was the biggest disappointment ever, and the worst Quentin Tarentino movie ever made.
The story is all over the show, and extremely boring. I almost walked out of the cinema, but the 5 minutes at the end of the movie are the only part of the movie worth watching, so you may as well fast forward to the end and skip all the boring bits up until then.
This is supposedly the 2nd last film he is making, and I won't be watching the last one, if this is the type of garbage he is unleashing on his fans.
I would give this film zero stars because that's what it actually deserves, but unfortunately, I am forced to give it a 1 star minimum. I am not sure why it has a rating of over 8 out of 10 because it certainly doesn't deserve it.
Nightflyers (2018)
Extremely Underwhelming
I am a huge fan of George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" book series and I'm blown away by the amazing job of the TV series adaptation HBO created for "Game of Thrones" TV series. I have to admit, I haven't read the novels on which the Nightflyers series is adapted from, but after watching the TV series, I am actually glad that I haven't wasted my money buying the books or my time in reading them because the TV series is extremely underwhelming and I really expected better from someone as smart as George R.R Martin.
The story is pretty simple in comparison with the complex story of Game of Thrones, and the characters are also very shallow in comparison. Some of the story just makes no sense at all, and the season finale is one of the most stupid things I have ever seen. I would expect an ending like that from something made by Netflix.
The viewership figures on Syfy channel speak for themselves. I doubt Syfy will renew this for a second season, and even if they do, or if Netflix somehow picks this up from Syfy, I definitely won't be wasting my time on any second or subsequent seasons. This show deserves to be cancelled unlike the awesome shows like Firefly that were ahead of their time and should never have been cancelled.
The Favourite (2018)
They ran out of time and ended the film in the middle of nowhere
The cinematography in this film is interesting, but makes you feel dizzy at times. Emma Stone does an amazing job in her role as do most of the other cast members. The only real disappointing thing about his film is that it just abruptly ends in the middle of nowhere. Its as though the power in the cinema tripped and the projector stopped running, but unfortunately thats not actually the case, its more like the director thought "okay, the film is around 2 hours long now, lets just end it in the middle of nowhere".
Glass (2019)
Disappointing and unbelievable
Why would the girl that the Beast let free in Split come to his defence after he killed her father and her friends just because he let her free. That makes no sense whatsoever.
The ending is one of the most disappointing and unnecessarily dragged out things I have seen in a long time.
This had a lot of potential and was the worst story in the trilogy. You are actually better off not even seeing it.
The Old Man & the Gun (2018)
More boring than watching paint dry
This is one of the most boring movies I have ever been unfortunate enough to watch. I do not recommend watching this movie. Rather watch Stander. It is also about a bank robber, but the story is far more interesting and has some depth to it and unlike this, isn't the most boring story in the history of Hollywood.
Bird Box (2018)
Disappointing ending
The movie was not too bad but the ending was extremely disappointing and made me feel as though I actually wasted my time watching this movie. The movie had so much potential, it could have been wrapped up with a better ending.
Blindspotting (2018)
Not a comedy
I have no idea why this movie is classified as a comedy. It is not a comedy at all and probably only relevant to an audience in the US. I personally couldn't relate to single thing in this movie and found out extremely pointless and boring. I don't recommend this if you're expecting a comedy
I never even laughed once.
Beatus (2018)
Wrong genre and absolute garbage
This movie is supposedly a thriller but is actually more of a horror than a thriller. Its one of the worst horror movies ever made though. I am rating it a 1 out of 10 because I have to, but it actually deserves a negative rating for being such a load of garbage and waste of time. I have never seen a worse move than this in all my life. I want the wasted hours of my life back. The leading actress doesn't do a bad job of her acting skills, but the story is just stupid. Who in their right mind would think that this kind of story is anywhere near good? It is the kind of thing I would expect a pupil to write in a school essay, not something for an actual movie to be made about, it is not good enough for movie material. The people who decided that the script was worthy of making a movie deserve to be fired because they are clearly incompetent at their jobs.
The Meg (2018)
A typical shark movie
This is a typical shark movie. I don't know why it received so many negative reviews. Are you honesty expecting clever dialogue, amazing storytelling, mindblowing CGI and Oscar nominated performances from a shark movie? Come on! Be realistic people. This movie is fun, it would have sucked without Jason Statham though, but I agree that it's not quite as good as Jaws or Deep Blue Sea. It's not the worst movie I've ever seen though and it's still pretty entertaining even though it's very predictable.
Trevor Noah: Son of Patricia (2018)
Worst Trevor Noah Comedy ever made
Trevor Noah complely loses his true identity in this standup comedy with his false American accent and the jokes are also extremely pathetic compared to all of his previous material. This is by far the worst standup comedy he had ever done. I am highly disappointed and hope that he comes to his senses and his true identify again otherwise he will lose me as a fan forever.
Venom (2018)
Starts off a bit slow, but it's an AWESOME movie!
This movie has a very slow start, and there is a severe lack of action at the beginning of the movie as a lot of time is spent focusing on character development. If it wasn't for that, I would have rated this movie 10 out of 10 because its awesome. The comedy is hilarious, the cinematography is amazing, the acting is pretty good, and the character Venom is awesome!
Gotti (2018)
Watch this movie if you have difficulty falling asleep
I usually suffer with insomnia and have difficulty falling asleep, but this movie solved the problem for me because it is by far one of the most boring movies ever made. So if you're like me and need a film to put you to sleep, then watch this, otherwise avoid it at all costs.
Upgrade (2018)
Awesome movie even though the story contradicts itself
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from the beginning to the end. Some of the acting could have been a bit better, but that can be overlooked because the movie keeps you interested all the way through and doesn't have any boring moments.
However, there are some instances where I consider the story to contradict itself. If Fisk's upgrade was better than Grey's, then why wasn't his one the one that took over the company? And if Stem was in control of everything from the beginning, surely it couldn't be remotely shut down?
The twist at the end was awesome, but it feels as though it wasn't part of the original story and was added as an after thought which contradicted most of the actual storyline. That being said, it was still an awesome and thoroughly enjoyable movie.
The House of Tomorrow (2017)
Where is the comedy?
It really annoys me when I waste hours of my time watching a movie that is supposed to be a Drama/Comedy but there absolutely zero comedy content in the movie whatsoever.
If its a drama, it should be categorized as a drama and not as a drama/comedy, so that you can ensure that you're in the appropriate mood for watching it.
The movie is extremely boring, in fact more boring than watching paint dry. Its probably aimed at a younger audience and I just don't get it.
Sharp Objects (2018)
Might seem slow but there is a reason for it
Many people were complaining about how slow this series is, but it is done on purpose to introduce you to the characters and so that you can understand why they are the way they are. Other series are unnecessarily drawn out and could be wrapped up in an hour, but you really need the deep insight into the characters in the story to fully appreciate the complete picture. I was really beginning to become bored, I have to admit and was on the verge of stopping to watch the last few episodes, but I'm so glad I didn't, because this is one of the best TV series of the year and I highly recommend it.
Ocean's Eight (2018)
Most boring movie ever made
I have never actually written a review before, but this movie is just so unbelievably terrible that I had to write a review about it.
I am not sexist by any means but if you are going to try and prove some kind of point by making a new Oceans movie with an all female cast, then at least give it a decent story line so that it can compete with the others and not be an utter failure due to a really poor story which fails to grab your attention and which quite frankly is more boring than watching paint dry.
I fell asleep while watching this film and thought that maybe it's because I'm a guy and this is probably intended to be a chick flick or something so I told my friend that I found it boring and she replied that she fell asleep 5 times trying to watch it.
Hollywood need to really stop trying to prove their ridiculous point they are trying to prove by making inferior sequels with all female casts. Ghostbusters was another example. Rather start with a fresh story and prove your point from the beginning, tackling cult classics is just setting yourself up for failure.
Daddy's Home (2015)
One of the most disappointing movies ever
This movie was so disappointing that it prompted me to write a review for the very first time.
Unfortunately I'm forced to give it a minimum of a 1 star rating, when it actually deserves 0 stars.
The main reason I chose to watch this movie is because I saw that Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrel were starring in it and that it is supposedly a comedy.
I'm not sure who decided that its a comedy, because it only made me laugh once when one of the children said something funny. The movie actually comes across as more of a drama than a comedy.
I've never been so disappointed watching a movie in my life, and I highly recommend that you avoid watching this movie if you haven't already seen it. I wish I could get that lost time of my life back.
