Velma (2023)
Needs new writers
I don't mind LBGT+ content. Or re-imagining a beloved children's show for adults. But the writing is awful in the first episode. Every joke seems forced. None of the dialog is natural. They do more telling than showing. It seems like a jumbled mess of race, women, and sexuality issues, and stereotypes, shoved into a space that is too small. And all of it is over the top. It's too much and repetitive. I'm fine with tackling these issues, but it's gotta flow. I found my mind drifting. Looked back at the screen episode 2 was playing and almost finished. I don't know what happened to the girl in the locker and don't care. None of the characters are likable. Nothing hooks the viewer. As a writer myself, that is the first thing you should do. This was a huge miss, it has potential with a different team of writers.
I updated my rating, after I got through the first horrible episode it was fine. But I stand by my criticism. The first episode is key to keeping your audience. For the first episode 1 🌟 the rest 5 🌟.
The Batman (2022)
Could have been better!
I feel as though the movie was way too long. Some scenes needed to be cut between the last hour. We fell asleep. It had potential though. I liked Cat woman, Batman needed a better script. And the Riddler was just annoying. No Oscar winning performance for him. The Penguin was good too. The action scenes were awesome though. But that's about it.
