I actually liked Madame Web very much. From the very beginning the main character got me interested in her origin story. I loved how the development of her powers was slowly build up and I really liked the connection with her past and that of her mother. I actually loved it that it isn't a typical superhero movie with one action scene after the other, but that it focuses more on storytelling. The only thing I didn't like were the 3 girls. Their origin stories weren't worked out which made them feel like extra and a bit unnecessary. I loved all the connections with Spider-Man and would have loved to see more of that in upcoming movies.

This time with some big flaws
2 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Although is has all the standard ingredients of a mission impossible movie (or a James Bond movie etc) with the big bad Russia, the impossible mission, Ethan Hunt who has to be immortal (with lots of botox) and a super human because he can do it all (and we think that superhero movies are sciencefiction) and the always young woman that are in the midst of it all and need some kind of saving it's very entertaining and action packed. It's as good as the others, but with one big flaw. Why did they have to kill off Ilsa Faust? She was the most interesting character of the movie franchise and a great counterpart for Ethan Hunt. Killing her off feels rushed and unnecessary only to make place for a new woman that will likely be killed off in the coming movies.
The Mandalorian

Keeps getting better! Season 3 is the best!
8 April 2023
As a big Star Wars fan season one was a bit of a disappointment. It was ok, but for me it was not enough Star Wars en too much "see me, I'm a mysterious silent man on a mission" which has nothing to do with Star Wars. Although the settings and connections to Star Wars was there and off course Baby Yoda was a big plus. Season 2 got better and now season 3 got me really hooked! I love the worlds and all the connections, the Star Wars dialogues, the switching between dark and grim atmospheres and the light of sometimes campy atmospheres. This series is becoming more and more Star Wars! I love the chemistry between the two main Mandolarian in Season 3. Bo-Katan is great. Can't wait for season 4!

Amazing show, but please kill off Arisu
4 February 2023
It's an amazing show and I agree it deserves the hype that Squid Game has, but please kill off the character Arisu. Without him this show would have been one of the best. It's writing and acting are great and it's extremely thrilling and action packed. The games the characters have to play are epic! It also has a lot of important life lessons in it about humanity and they way we live our lives. But the main character Arisu is terrible and a makes all the amazing things about this show less amazing. Characters like Kuina and all the other players are amazing and deserve a lot more screentime. Hopefully less Arisu in season 3.

Star Wars done badly!
11 December 2022
Those positive reviews are clearly fake or done by internet trolls, because what have I been watching and can I get those hours back? Where is the storyline and who are all those characters? Character development clearly wasn't a priority and making the main character likeable has been forgotten. Many scenes don't add up, characters come and go with no information or background and the timeline is gone. And then there is that Squid Game thing which isn't Star Wars at all. This has to be one of the worst productions of Star Wars ever and one of the worst series in 2022. This isn't Star Wars. It's just some guy with a bad attitude. The few good things are the female leads and the overall message!
Wonder Woman 1984
(2020)
The second watch made it epic!
11 December 2022
The first time I watched WW84 I compared it too much to the first movie. Back then I didn't realise enough that the first movie was in a totally different time with a different tone. Now two years later I watched WW84 again and I loved it! This is Wonder Woman in the 80's and it's almost perfect! As always Gal Gadot is the perfect Wonder Woman, but also Cheetah is perfectly done and than the 80's. This movie captures the 80's perfectly with all the campiness. I love the action scenes and also the further development of Wonder Woman. DC has done a great job and like the first movie, this movie also makes me longing for more Wonder Woman!
Yes Marvel! This is what we want!
26 August 2022
Thank you Marvel for finally knowing what the public wants from Marvel and for staying true to the comics. Episode 1 was great with just the right amount of comedy and now episode 2 is just as great. After some unwatchable shows like the Falcon and Loki, this is a show to watch!
Moon Knight
(2022)
Another unwatchable show!
20 August 2022
Yet another unwatchable show about a boring character with bad writing. They tried to make it interesting by putting in a little psychology, but that went wrong. With so many great and interesting characters I can't help but ask myself: Why Marvel? Why? The public, the fans want more female heroes and more interesting heroes, more true to the source material.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
(2022)
One of the best MCU! Please more of this!
20 August 2022
She-Hulk must be one of the best shows the MCU has ever produced. The comics have always been great and this show is just as great as the comics. I loved every second of this show. It has just the perfect amount of comedy and the way the shows breaks the fourth wall is perfect! I also loved all the references and easter eggs to the real deal: Marvel Comics. And let's be honest it was about time that we said goodbye to that boring era with all those one-dimensional male characters like Iron Man and Captain America. Thumbs up for Marvel Studios for making this great show and for all the ways that they made fun off all those sad online haters. Please more of this Marvel! Keep this up!
Scarlet Witch carries the movie!
5 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Scarlet Witch is amazing in this movie. What a amazing actress and what an iconic character she has become. She carries the movie, because the rest of the movie is just too much! The only other great thing is that a few other iconic characters from Marvel make their appearance.

Dutch super star delivers again!
22 February 2022
And yet again the biggest star in television of the Netherlands, Linda de Mol, delivers once again. A great, unique and interesting story with a surprising plot twist near the end. I found myself instantly hooked on the characters and the mystery en lies surrounding them. The characters are well developed and the acting is very good!
Scream
(I) (2022)
Sidney makes it all worth it!
18 February 2022
Since the beginning in 1996 the Scream movies are all about Sidney Prescott and that's a good thing. The character, and also the actress, is great. She has dept, she has character, she has heart, she is strong, but also vulnerable. And somehow she is also somewhat of a mystery. It's a real accomplishment when a character is still great and like-able after all these years. Neve Campbell is a superb actress. The only mistake is that the producers didn't put her in more scenes!
Reacher
(2022– )
Not that good, but it's watchable
13 February 2022
Some super hero movies are more realistic than this show. This Reacher guy is somewhat of unstoppable and somehow knows everything. It's not really a thriller because there is no suspense. It's not really a mystery, because it's al very obvious. The writing is poor. But all and all it's watchable for some reason. But it's no way near as good as some of the thriller- and action-show these days.

Finally a good action movie!
28 January 2022
After the let downs by movies like James Bond and Red Notice I was happy to be surprised by this great action movie. What a amazing cast, good story arc and great action scenes. I also very much liked the emotional parts of the movie. Please make this a movie-series! We need more of this.
Diepe gronden
(2022)
Another dutch masterpiece!
26 January 2022
And again the dutch deliver a great series. De Mol is known for some amazing shows like 'Gooische Vrouwen' en 'Familie Kruys'. Both were comedy's, but now she, together with director Koopman, has made a great detective series about a profiler. Make sure you watch this!
Death to 2021
(2021 TV Special)
Brilliant humor!
29 December 2021
This is what I call brilliant humor. I can imagine that some might be offended by it, but don't be. Just try to see the humor of it all. It will lighten up your day. Humor can be a great way to deal with bad things in life.
The Matrix Resurrections
(I) (2021)
Maybe the best in the series
23 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This fourth movie maybe the best in the series. It's amazing how they succeeded in bringing back the same sentiment, the same atmosphere and so many of the same people after so many years. Neo and Trinity are amongst the best movie couples ever. They story has elevated in this movie and the action is, as always, the best of the best.
No Time to Die
(2021)
How can we overlook this?
14 November 2021
Is it just me or is this a clear example of sexism? Do we all just ignore the fact that James Bond is an old man who likes to play around with very young girls? Female actresses become to old at a young age (which really is age-discrimination) and when an older woman sleeps with a younger man it's always 'a thing' and she is called a cougar. But all those old grandpa's get to play around with young girls and no one cares? That's just not ok. And back to the movie. It's the same old, same old. Seen it a million times.
Bonnie & Clyde
(2021)
Superb series!
13 November 2021
Without a doubt one of the best dutch series ever made. Bonnie & Clyde make Undercover look like a child's play. The characters Esra and Greg are very well developed and although they are criminals you find yourself being in there corner. Based on the dutch Bonnie & Clyde. A black fairytale!
La Mante
(2017)
European Perfection!
16 August 2021
This is series is without a doubt one of the best series I have ever seen in the genre crime/mystery/thriller. It makes the movies about Hannibal Lector look childish and even a bit fake and overacted. Once again a European serie shows that they really know how to make it believable, how to keep you hooked and how to make you root even for the most cold-hearted of people.
Pose
(2018–2021)
It's truly an amazing show, but Pray tell it terrible.
12 June 2021
This show is amazing. It has taught me so much about the past, about the aids epidemic and about the ballroom scene with the houses that are a warm family. It's a truly emotional journey, but that Pray Tell is a terrible. Without him the show would have been perfect!
What a let down!
7 April 2021
After a few amazing movies in de last years and the almost perfect WandaVision this is a major let down. It's nothing more than some flat action. There is no dept in the series. I also don't like the characters. They are so many amazing and interesting characters in the Marvel Universe and the Falcon and The Winter Soldier are not one of them.
