The Gray Man (2022)
Way better than expected. Evans steals the show.
When was the last time the critics were right about anything? This movie was fantastic. One of the best action movies I've seen in the last 5+ years probably. Chris Evans steals the show as the villain. He is really funny and plays the part very well. It's not a perfect movie, especially one scene involving the plane, but I really enjoyed this one. Way better than all the other cliche action movies being put out these days. Watch this one!
Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
One of the worst movies I've seen in years
Plot armor twice as thick as the last season of Game of Thrones, terrible CGI, a non existent plot, terribly loud headache inducing sounds for 90% of the movie and a bunch of annoying human characters who take up way too much screen time. As badass as Godzilla is, there is nothing redeemable about this movie.
Creed II (2018)
Predictable, cliche and unrealistic
I guessed the plot of this movie before I sat down to watch it. It's basically a retelling of other Rocky movies. There is no creativity at all. Also, the protagonist is very unlikeable. I found myself rooting for drago in this one. The boxing tactics, as entertaining and well directed as they were, were also highly unrealistic. It was hard to stay invested in this one.
Game of Thrones: The Bells (2019)
Thought I liked it until I turned my brain on. Still the best ep of S8 - which isn't hard to do.
In my opinion, this was the best episode of S8, but that is of course not saying much. This was a beautifully directed and visually stunning episode that would have had so much more impact if they hadn't already butchered S8. The Cinematography was top notch, and the effects were amazing, but once again the terrible script diminishes all that hard work and effort.
The biggest problem with the S8 scripts is that the writers have made smart characters really stupid to help the story end quickly. Tyrion would never turn on Varys like that and snitch so easy. That's definitely not Tyrion's character. Jon's beautiful 7 season story arc has been reduced to him being a useless character standing in the street doing nothing and definitely not worthy of being a King. The "Golden Company" ended up being completely worthless. Jamie got stabbed through the ribs twice and walked away as if nothing happened and Jaime and Cersei dying under the demolishing Kings Landings is just a missed opportunity. There were so many other possibilities that were better than what we got (especially since they ignored, yet again, another prophecy). They have been building up The Hound vs. The Mountain for 8 seasons and I didn't care at all when it actually happened. I didn't feel anything when the Hound died, and he was one of my favorite characters. Poorly done fight sequence in my opinion. Also, last episode they shot a dragon out of the sky with three consecutive shots, but in this episode, Drogon takes out all of the scorpions, every ship and blows a hole in Kings Landing in five minutes? Weak writing on par with S8.
However, the magic of GOT is in the interaction between the characters, and the best scene of the entire episode is between Jamie and Tyrion. It is moments like that that made GOT so great in the first place, and it's that kind of heart that us fans have been severely lacking in S8. Why couldn't they give us an intimate moment like that with Ghost? How come they thought it would be more impactful not to say goodbye to Ghost but then give Tyrion and Jamie a proper goodbye? Kind of contradictory. A random horse got more love than Ghost (though that last shot is stunning). The Scene between Arya and the Hound was also another example of GOT at it's best and everything we have been dying for more of in S8. I actually really loved that the Hound stops her from killing Cersei to keep her from the point of no return.
I think this series could have been done amazing if they gave us a full 10 episode season or more of Dany turning into the mad queen and she ends up being a bigger villain than Cersei. It would have been believable then, even if she was a bigger villain than the NK (who we all know how badly they effed that up) because she has dragons. Instead, they give us a two-episode story arc that now feels extremely rushed, forced and out of character. It just didn't feel believable that Dani would snap like that so quickly. Dani has suffered significant losses before. She has been betrayed before. She has conquered cities where she wasn't loved by anyone, and she won those people over. She has always stayed mentally sound, she didn't burn innocent people to ashes. It was just constant carnage and death scenes over and over and over again. It didn't make sense. If they had done Dani's story better, they could have made it very powerful. But, after giving us 7 1/2 seasons of "Mhysa" and the "Breaker of Chains" who has always cared so deeply about the people, all of a sudden she has no moral compass at all? She murders millions of people just like that? Dany risked everything she had against the wight walkers to save humanity, only to burn them all for no reason. Everything is just happening too fast with no room to breathe. This show definitely needed AT LEAST the last two seasons to be 10 episodes to end it properly (probably even a S9).
As a whole, this episode is as good as an episode as the director could have done for what they have already given us, but the series has already hit the point of no return. It's too late to fix this mess. When the season started, I couldn't believe that this would be the last season. Now, I can I can't wait for the show to end.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Good and Entertaining Movie but Overrated.
This was a fun movie, but it was by means no where near a 10/10. Infinity War was a much better movie to be honest. It had way better action and a better story. End Game's plot was a mess. Overall, it was an entertaining and fitting end to an era, but was by no means perfect.
Game of Thrones: The Last of the Starks (2019)
Days of our Thrones. Can't even say goodbye to Ghost? Wtf.
The writing of this show has fallen off a cliff and hit every rock on the way down. It's now basically a soap opera with awful dialogue and stupid plot points. How do you cut away from the scene when Jon finally reveals to his sisters about his real parents without showing the Stark girls reactions? How can Jon part ways from Ghost for the last time they will ever see each other and not even say goodbye? And what about the character assassination of Dani? She went from being a badass character and a great queen to a villain overnight. And Tyrion and Varys, who spent 3 seasons convincing everyone she is the queen Westeros deserves are now plotting treason? I love Jon Snow a lot and figured he would end up on the throne, but you can't do it like this. It's a cop out and just bad writing. They built her up as the true and needed queen for 7 seasons just to tear her down and make her look crazy and desperate in the final season? In it's mad dash to end the show as quick as possible (for no reason at all), the show has given up on writing for shock value and the shock value isn't even that good. Please just give us the last 2 episodes now and put this show out of its misery.
Free Solo (2018)
Best Documentary I've ever seen.
Best Documentary I've ever seen. I knew the ending and was still on the edge of my seat with my heart in overdrive the whole time. Beautifully shot, superbly executed. Genius all around.
Game of Thrones (2011)
Perfect Series destroyed by S8. So heartbreaking.
GOT was my absolute favorite show ever and up until S8 I considered this show to be nearly perfect. It was the best viewing experience of anything I'd ever seen in my life. That was until S8 completely destroyed the entire series. S8 ignores all 7 previous seasons of material and destroys everything the show has been building up to for 10 years. It is so heartbreaking that I am now in a depression. I used to recommend this show to everyone I know and now I can't anymore. The payoff just isn't worth watching. There is no point of watching the 65+ episodes of brilliance to get to the disastrous final season and be heartbroken. The most important episode...the Apex of the whole series...the one episode the entire show has been building up to for 10 years was absolutely terrible. So unbelievably disappointing.
Game of Thrones: The Long Night (2019)
Perfect series destroyed in one episode
I will ignore that the battle strategy was completely idiotic, a lot of the scenes were way too dark to see the action, nobody of great importance died, and the whole thing felt disjointed, I will dive right into the important stuff....
Game of Thrones spent seven seasons building this perfectly written story arc about the Long Night... preaching and hyping how "winter is coming" "winter is coming" the army of the dead will kill us all.. We will all perish if we don't come together. They built a 700-foot wall to keep them out for Christ's sake and the Night King dies in one episode by a sneak attack from someone who had no connection at all to the Night King storyline or the Wight Walkers in general. He dies in the most ridiculous Deux Ex Machina way in which Arya just jumped out of the sky. Don't get me wrong I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, it was a really intense episode, and I liked a lot of it, definitely an 8/10 for me for action and suspense, but the parts I hated completely overshadowed the good parts. And to be honest, rip a hole in the entire series.
I thought Arya stole the show and I loved her scenes. When she first breaks out her spear and starts smoking zombies, I was all in, and her Jurassic Park-esque raptor scene in the library/dungeon was great. I also loved the scene between Tyrion and Sansa, Theon finally got his redemption, and there were many other great scenes throughout. The production value of the episode was by no means a disaster, but the ending was a complete catastrophe for me.
Bran was utterly useless and his entire 8 season story arc of becoming the three-eyed raven had absolutely no payoff and was utterly pointless. He did absolutely nothing. At least warg into the damn dragon. We still have no idea why Bran was even chosen to be the Raven or why the Night King has been chasing the Three-Eyed Raven for thousands of years.
And even though Arya was great, the NK was supposed to be Jon's story arc to complete. Arya's storyline is Cersei. If Jon killed Cersei I would feel the same way, it wouldn't fit the 8 season story arc. This battle was Arya's episode and it should have been Jons. His entire story arc was building to this moment. After 8 seasons he was finally going to get his chance at the Night King and we never ever get it. Jon didn't have to kill him (I actually thought Jon was going to die) but they had to at least give us a 1 on 1 with Jon vs NK.. Jon needed that moment and we as fans needed that moment even if it ended in Jon's death. Now Jon's entire story arc is also completely unfulfilled, his prophecy incomplete. Why even bring him back to life? He doesn't care to be the king, he never wanted that, all he wanted to do was save the North and his people. He was never given the chance to do that. And now we are left with very little back story on the Night King, his motivation, his connection with Bran or any of that. He was just a random guy created by the Children of the forest. Cool.
The Great War was supposed to be the event that finally united the 7 Kingdoms in an event that was bigger than kings or queens and politics.. It was bigger than all that petty stuff. The ultimate unstoppable evil was coming to destroy us and we must come together or die... Jon has been preaching "The true enemy is to the North. One who doesn't care about titles or lands. He just wants death." Now that that major threat is gone the rest feels petty and anticlimactic. The entire series to me is now extremely anticlimactic. All of the major characters survived the greatest evil alive so now if they die in a stupid meaningless war to a lesser enemy its all for what? I don't even care who is on the throne anymore.
I have read hundreds of fan theories about how the Great War would play out and every single one of them was better than what actually happened. Even the worse theories were better than what we got. The GREAT WAR lasted one night. The writing for the episode was completely unforgivable. It unraveled so many storylines and created HUGE plot holes when the writers were supposed to be tying the whole story together. I could give you AT LEAST 10 more major plot holes in this episode, but I will leave it at this...This episode may have just destroyed the entire series. A series that I have considered absolutely perfect until now.
At the end of the day, we are blessed to have had Game of Thrones in the first place. 7 amazing seasons of it. It is disappointing that the Apex of the story didn't play out better, but the ride up until now has been unbelievable.
Band of Brothers (2001)
A Master Class in Filmmaking
Band of Brothers is filmmaking at it's best. So authentic. So real without going overboard and grossing out the viewer. So touching and beautifully told. One of the best stories ever put on any screen. Band of Brothers lives up to it's name. A company of men who have faced death together and sacrificed so much that I couldn't help crying in gratitude at the end. Just brilliant in every way.
Vice (2018)
Bale is incredible
A disjointed and skewed movie that clearly has an agenda, but it was very entertaining and Christian Bale is absolutely incredible. He is deserving of every award he wins...The post credit scenes was stupid and took away from the movie though.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
Please don't let Zack Snyder direct another Superman movie
There were so many things wrong with this movie and I cannot even begin to make a list. I am sure many of the other people here have already covered it all, so I won't bother. I didn't think it could be worse than the Man of Steel movie, but it was comparable. Only part worth watching is the last 30 minutes or so. Everything before it is garbage. There is obviously so much potential with these Characters, but Snyder is just the wrong director. He obviously has no knowledge or just doesn't care about the core elements of what makes these superheroes great in the first place. All he seems to care about is destruction in a way that is way worse than Michael Bay.
Wonder Women was great though.
