Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)
Absolutely impossible!
I didn't think this series could get any more childish, ridiculous and pathetic but I was absolutely wrong. Apparently the script was allowed to be provided by the same Saturday morning cartoon writers responsible for such epic greats as Donald Duck, Wile E. Coyote and the Road runner. The creators of this Mission Impossible let all common sense, physics and anything above a grade school level of maturity be tossed out the window.
I am not going to bore the reader with the details of the countless, artless, insipid, adolescent and always ridiculous ex machina plot line resolutions because they are just too blatantly obvious and numerous. However I will say the only real impossible of this movie is that anyone over ten year old could actually be capable of accepting any of the repeated nick of time, perfect timing accidents, the empty plot hole and characters, ridiculous human and technology capabilities, poor casting choices. I have never been so disappointed with a "M I" movie as this farce.
Stargate: Atlantis (2004)
Sadly pathetic
Stargate Atlantis is a pathetic low budget follower to the original Star Gate movie and series. Yes if you need a SG fix it's better than absolutely nothing but not by much.
Let's go over the basic issues-
The few appearances of any real actors are extremely limited, the few B and mostly C grade actors are poorly directed and out of their depth.
The dialog is weak, repetitive, insipid and childish. The story lines of the plots are simple, predictable and obvious copies of to many you've seen before.
Almost all of the costumes are direct from the used costume rental supply with things like pilgrim, World War One and two or from other Earths historical times. Most of the costumes are painfully low budget similar to the 60s Star Trek series.
Then there are the questions one must ask, like what were the show runners thinking?
1- why does everyone and every single alien on every planet in every single galaxy all speak American English?
2- who decided to add the ridiculous and silly sound affects in the vacuum of space.
3- why was some woman with some unknown doctorate, no pervious experience or military knowledge yet is given complete command over many others with obviously vastly stronger abilities.
There are more examples but too many to list in this limited place.
I and struggled to understand why and how this series got renewed until I finally realized who it was made for and that is primarily 11-15 year olds.
El conde (2023)
Could have been epic
I very much wanted to give this movie a more positive review because it has so much potential however it needs too much help. The basics are all there in that the plot has merit and interesting reviling twists, revaluations and possibilities. However the writing needed much more to flesh out all the characters and refine the plot.
The scenes are well set up and shot in black and white further enhancing the whole mood but if just even some physical makeup special effects would have been added for instance to de-age the vampires it would have helped.
In closing the least that should have been done was a script with less rambling, better focus and the viewer ratings would double.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)
So greatly disappointing.
This was a huge opportunity for success however as the old maximum goes, "the bigger they are the harder they fall" and fall this does.
This iteration of Star Trek appears to be an attempt at modernizing the original 60s series. Sadly it fails in all possible ways except for the beautiful sets and passable CGI. The acting is appalling and the writing even worse. Spoiler alert- In this series if it wasn't for all the many many woman on board the ship its poor weak captain wouldn't know what to do or when.
The endless bad jokes and back talking, general lack of respect for command structure or superiors makes one wonder why they bothered to give ranks to anyone.
In the third episode the final insult was depicting the enterprises attempt at hiding and fighting its foe the same as a WW2 submarine battle. With reference to diving down to a higher pressure until the foes ship was crushed plus much more similar sillinesses.
So to simply sum this series up its basically a Saturday morning cartoon script acted out by people in front of a camera.
The only possible way an average adult could possibly enjoy this series is with heavy imbibing of adult beverages and or other mind altering substances.
Män som hatar kvinnor (2009)
Well written
This is a great story with good acting done on a budget but doesn't rank as high as the Hollywood remake with Daniel Crag. The low production values are the only thing that is weaken in this version.
Cosmic Sin (2021)
Why isn't there a zero rating?
Ooh how the mighty have fallen, Bruce has done great acting in some amazing movies so why did he sign up for this complete flop? Was he just board or broke? The script is almost to Saturday morning cartoons standards. The dialog is so week a grade schooler must of written it. As for the acting,,,,my grand kids can do better.
I really can't understand if this movie was intended to be a comedy or were they purposely going for the razz award?
This definitely goes in my top 10 worst movies ever made.
Suburra - La serie (2017)
Realistic and authentic
Great writing, acting and visuals make this a must see series to experience.
