WTF who wrote the script for this. It has so many holes in it at some points it's just ridiculous. Brosnan looks like he's playing James Bond after he retired Aldis Hodges try's his best with a character who keeps preaching peace and non violence and then goes out and kicks 10 bells out of any bad guy in his way. As for the other two heroes giant guy who is more clumsy than helpful smaller version of X-Men's Storm. And the location where it all takes place has been under oppressive conditions for 27 years but the Justice Society Don't turn up till Black Adam makes an appearance. Times up DCEU.

The Batman
(2022)
A movie that has been over hyped
18 April 2022
First off it's way to long RP looks the part in the Batman suit out of it he looks like like was bored rootless. All credit to the make up department for Colin Farrell's Penguin they pulled out all the stops on that one. Not a fan of this version of The Riddler they make him look like he would fit in better in one of the Saw movies. Zoe Kravit's is a good choice for Catwoman but the Bat-mobile looks like a reject from Mad Max. Over all my biggest complaint is Gotham should be about 6 feet under water as it seemed to be torrential downpour from the beginning of the movie till the end of it.
Jungle Cruise
(2021)
2021 Summer let down ?
10 August 2021
Following hot on the heels of Disney/Marvels other let down (Blk/Widow) Jungle Cruise failed to deliver as another review points out it Pirates meets Mummy meets Indiana Jones not an original thought went into churning out the script for this movie. I'm a huge fan of both lead actors but this was not the movie that the trailer promised and the trailer was the best bit. The story lacks substance it has simply been thrown together the winners in this movie are the CGI team they did a great job other than that it dropped the ball all over the place. And everyone of the main characters looked bored at times.
Loki
(2021–2023)
Why are Disney doing this ?
12 June 2021
Ok so this is based on the first episode of Loki. I'm at a loss for all the high scores it is at best average and it is no candidate for a MCU spin off so far the only thing Disney has got right is The Mandalorian. No comment on Wandavision I gave that a miss FAlcon & Winter soldier I lasted 2 and a half episodes. If this is the best Disney can do they should stick to animation.
W#F went wrong ?
13 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This show started with so much potential in episode 1 and 10 minutes in to that episode it hit a brick wall. Episode 2 was one long yawn half way through episode 3 that was it enough was enough. Falcon and Bucky constantly arguing does nothing for the show and the guy they have added as the New Captain America is not fit for the role his character seems pushed and hollow. And his side kick is a waste of time. Marvel Studios are slipping away and loosing the one thing that made them unique. If they don't check this quickly they will start to turn out shows and movies that are a waste of time. Episodes 4,5,6 are lost to me and have been deleted from my viewing schedule.
The Prisoner
(1967–1968)
A fine example of the paranoia of the Sixties
12 April 2021
I first watched this about 40 + years ago found it on the web and decided to give it another go. The first 14 episodes are good the last 3 Mcgoohan lost the plot completely and episode 17 is a complete let down more so given the fact that Mcgoohan wrote and directed it.
Zack Snyder's Justice League
(2021)
Long Winded
22 March 2021
At a run time of 242 minutes it drags on at times. I am amazed at the high reviews it has on here overall the movie is ok but like the last two Avenger movies the run time is to long. Most of the lead characters fill there roles well but given the hype it could have been better with less padding. The one character who is a pain in the A## is The Flash
Series Finale
11 March 2021
A poor start to Season 14
13 January 2021
Could be time to call it a day
9 January 2021
Not sure exactly what they hoped to achieve with this episode but it failed from the start. The story was flat and the acting was no better unless they stop loosing cast members this show is doomed. Ralf Little's (DI) is a joke they are turning him into a clown act and most of the rest of the cast looked bored. I switched off after 30 minutes
Nothing new in S02E01
8 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The second season starts exactly where the first ended this is only a review of episode one. Overall this episode brings nothing to the show there were no major plot lines reveals. The acting was on a par with season one but unless the story picks up a pace it could fail before it begins. One main complaint and not just with this show why is it necessary for the background music to be so loud. There is a segment where the two lead characters are talking and you cannot hear a word they are saying.
Star trekking across the Universe
8 January 2021
Not sure why there is so much hate for this show ? It's no different from any of the previous Star Trek shows Discovery has it's main character it's likeable character and it's annoying character. The biggest plot hole if anyone wants a moaning session is that this Star Trek is supposed to be set before Captain Kirk & Co. so how come the ships look so much better ?
Overall not the worst show in the World but it will not please all the Trekkies but I often wonder what would.
It keeps getting better with every episode
4 December 2020
The production crew of Star Wars movies should pay attention to this show it's what Star Wars should be about The Mandalorian has more toys and gadgets than Batman , Ironman & James Bond combined great show all round and great supporting cast
If it ain't broke don't fix it

Star Trek: Picard
(2020–2023)
This will never please everyone
24 January 2020
This is based only on episode 1
After watching ep1 from my point of view the jury out on this one. This could go one of two ways it will either grab the Star Trek fanboys or it will drop into a black hole and receive nothing but critical reviews. Overall it was nothing we have not seen before the pilot plot was nothing unique it moved along at reasonable pace the fight scenes were well choreographed and executed with style. Patrick Stewart has unfortunately aged greatly but for a man who is 80 he still delivers Picard with all the bells and whistles. The rest of the cast move through there lines and no one really stands out from the crowd. The one interesting premise was the end but you need to watch it to see what I mean. Overall not the best I have watched but far from the worst.
Cobra
(2020–2023)
Solid British Drama
20 January 2020
First off I'm not sure why this is receiving such negative reviews all round I thought it was a well written well acted Tv show. The main actors carried there parts to the max with David Haig being the stand out from the pack. Don't believe the negativity give it a go you won't be disappointed.
Dracula
(2020)
An interesting adaptation of a traditional story
4 January 2020
First off if you are looking for a traditional version of Dracula then don't watch this one. I thought this was well written and the lead characters were exceptional Claus Bang in particular was great as the main character. All round a great show there are reviews on here scoring 1/10 don't let them put you off judge for yourself it might not be everybody's cup of tea but it made good viewing and was well worth it.
V-Wars
(2019)
Looks interesting
27 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The first preview made this show look potentially worth watching lead actor is the biggest name in it. Main issue is the totally annoying reporter she has all the charm and charisma of a very annoying child if she tried any harder to be pain in the A## she would be wearing a T-shirt with the logo kill me first.Other than that not a bad show
6 Underground
(2019)
It has it's moments
16 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
From the time I watched the first trailer for 6 Underground I wanted to like it. But having watched it I cannot say the movie lived up to the trailer. All credit to the stunt teams, FX crew but after you take the set pieces out of this movie it drags it's feet. Reynolds is almost playing himself the main female lead tries with a very poor script to keep herself looking interested in what's happening around her. Other cast members just go through there paces. All in 6 Underground is a typical Micheal Bay movie a lot of bang for his buck.
One main question ?
29 November 2019
Why does everybody keep saying baby yoda if this is set between the fall of the empire and before the rise of the first order yoda was hundreds if not thousands of years old in the first Star Wars trilogy. But that being said this Mahon makes Star Wars interesting again.
The Mandalorian
(2019– )
It has potential
12 November 2019
From the start you can see the budget for this was $$$$$$ huge it has CGI & Sp Effects on a par with some big budget movies. Like one other post I felt it was a bit short on length run time is only 39 minutes most pilots now run 50 to 60 minutes. Overall it has potential to be a good show if you are a Star Wars fan this will fill the gap till the next movie. And it should be interesting to see if it can survive without a light sabre being drawn as none were evident in Ep 1.
Has to get better
26 September 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I hate to say it but if you have seen the trailer for Stumptown you have seen all the best bits of this episode. Hollow characters poor story line TBH if it lasts one Season it will be cancelled unless they come up with something better than this episode.Cobie Smulders deserves better than this and with Michael Ealy & Jake Johnson as supporting cast the writers will need to bring there A game to make the viewer want to change channel or set there DVR to record this show.
Not a great start to Season 2
26 September 2019
Warning: Spoilers
First off bring back Sela Ward as much as Alana De La Garza is a good actress she does not fit the bill for Sela Ward's position as department head. This was not a great start to S2 nothing that has not been seen in at least half a dozen other shows if they want to keep there viewers the writers will need to up there game.I enjoyed S1 of FBI hope I'm not going to be disappointed with S2 there is a new character added not a great addition in my opinion but we will have to wait and see.
