Star Wars: The Bad Batch: Entombed (2023)
bad batch season 2 episode 5 - star wars' identity crisis
The potential of this show is huge, and offers what could be a more captivating storyline than even the clone wars, but it can't decide when it wants to take itself seriously. The episodes focusing on the empire, the clones, and the ramifications of order 66 are really well done and interesting but we've only seen it once so far this season, in by far the best episode of the season. This one is just another loose mission, and while i do understand these filler episodes place in the series (faster setting up cyd's betrayal and this one possibly setting up phee's pirate connection to other well known characters like hondo) it just doesn't push the story at all or develop the characters. I'm still waiting on the day where we really get into echos character because there's so much potential there but the show is just not realizing it. This episode was fine, but the season needs to make its point quick before it loses its audience.
The Walking Dead: Walk with Us (2020)
THE ENDING THOUGH
IM BEYOND SATISFIED THAT ENDING WAS SO GOOD
I KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN AND IT DELIVERED. Great episode overall too it was awesome
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Best Ever
This is easily my favorite movie. It has so much packed into it, so many twists and turns, and everything seems real, even the obscure things. It is hard to review this movie since there isn't anything bad to say about it. All I can say is watch it. I don't think you will be disappointed unless you're not into this kind of movie.

And Vincent Vegas death still has me shocked 3 days after the first watch. I fricking flipped when that happened.
The Walking Dead: Open Your Eyes (2019)
Great Episode
I enjoyed this one a lot, very well paced, awesome shots, and some of the best acting of the season thus far. I liked all the storylines this episode (except Lydias impulse decisions lol) Dante and siddiq this episode was awesome and that ending was one of the biggest "holy crap" moments of the show. Also, huge props to Michael Cudlitz for some amazing cinematography. Amazing shots in this episode. And also Avi Nash for playing Siddiq, it was sad to see him go, but I think his death was almost necessary to progress the story and I am excited to see where it goes next. 9/10 episode for me.
The Mandalorian (2019)
Simply Amazing
The pilot episode of this show was amazing. Every scene was great and the fight scenes were greatly choreographed. I loved the first intro scene, and the end battle scene was also awesome. The filler scenes were enjoyable and fun to watch. This is my favorite pilot episode ever, better than TWD's imo. I loved this and can't wait to see where it goes. And the ending was compelling as well!

Beautiful
Brought me to tears more times than Endgame and Infinity War combined
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
Underrated But Still Not Amazing
Definitely the weakest of the Star Wars films for me. There were so many mediocre parts of it for me that there isn't really that much to say. Some characters were very annoying, the story was good, but not great, and the majority of the characters were just not great. Some scenes stick out to me as very enjoyable though; The PodRacing Scene and The Final Battle/Qui-Gon's death scene in particular. I love Darth Maul, he is very mysterious and has a good presence on screen, making him my favorite character, but Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are a good duo and fun to watch as well. Overall I'd give it a stream, but if you are on a journey to watch all Star Wars movies or need a movie that is decent to watch, I'd say it is a watch it level for me.
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
Great Film, One of The Best Star Wars Movies
I think this movie is severely underrated. While the story has some bad bumps, we can all agree this has the best fight scenes in the Skywalker Saga and has the be at lightsaber battle scene in all of Star Wars. Every scene in the movie is enjoyable, from Order 66, to the Mustafar Showdown, and even some of the filler scenes. Sure Padme's death was a little lame and forced (no pun intended lol) but it was nice to get an intro to our characters of the original trilogy. I say the movie was very good and is one of the first Star Wars movies I grab at when I want to watch one. I say it is a must-watch mainly for the amazing action sequences.
Captain Marvel (2019)
A Good Intro to A New Character
While I think this movie is a bit less than I was expecting, it is still good and has many good aspects to it. Some of the CGI work seems like too much, but the deaging in the film is amazing. The story did indeed have many problems, but I think the twists were handled well and I personally did not see them coming. My favorite part of the movie was something I did not expect though, and that is Talos. Talos is a skrull and is thought to be the villian, but he is actually not. I really enjoyed his character. Of course, this is a Marvel movie, so the action is here and every action scene is well done and very enjoyable. That's about all I have to say about this movie, but I did really like Talos and Nick Fury. While it is in the lower end of Marvel movies and one of my least favorite origin story movies, I still say it is a watch/stream.
Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
Another Great Film In The Franchise
While this movie doesn't live up to the first 2 installments, it is still a great movie with well done closure to the original trilogy. Much of the movie feels boring to me, but I extremely enjoy the last scenes on Death Star 2 and Endor. These great moments of the film don't make up for the boring aspects of the first part of the movie, but the final battle scenes and Vader/Palpatines deaths make this movie an absolute must watch. I also like the parts at the beginning of the movie as well. I think they are cool and Boba Fett is awesome.
Star Wars (1977)
An Absolute Classic That Aged Beautifully
An epic movie about good vs evil. Many can agree with me in saying this is the most recognizable and one of the be movies of the action/adventure genre. The way the story flows and is put together is astounding. While some of the special effects of the original can't stand up to modern era films, it is great that they rereleased the films with updated effects. The movie is also filmed very well. The characters in the movie were set up great too. Their stories all went well with one another, and many of the scenes in this movie are amazing. I specifically like Obi Wans Death Scene, and the Death Star Battle and Destruction. Can't wait for Episode 9 and am anticipating a great film.
Batwoman (2019)
it gives me death
I don't have time to write all the bad things about this show, both of the first episodes are garbage and annoying as hell I can't even stand it. Not great writing either with some pretty bad acting and story

Shazam! (2019)
An Enjoyable and Fun Superhero Film With A Strong Moral At The Heart
So I went into Shazam! without much background knowledge of the character. I knew his origin story and that the character had been transferred from other comics multiple times, but I knew near nothing. Going in, I was at first thinking the film would take a more dark turn, in the introduction scene. It soon became apparent, though, that this would be a more fun-filled adventure. The villain, Dr. Sivana, wasn't really developed much until about midway through the movie, after Billy Batson gets much development. Quickly, it turns into a superhero style film we are more used to. With many fight scenes and in the third act, a strike for not only the heart of most superheroes, but also the movie. Billy being a mostly runaway kid and not staying with foster families, he finally finds his place with Freddy and the rest of the kids. They all get powers after bonding together as a family, and take down the Seven Deadly Sins and Dr. Sivana in the final fight scene at the carnival. The sins are trapped and Sivana is out in prison. The gang also finds a new lair. I overall enjoyed watching this movie a lot and cannot wait to watch it more this year. The best DCEU movie yet in my opinion and hope they can keep the franchise moving in this direction.
