If you watch it with low expectations, you'll be surprised because it's more fun than you thought. But most of the best gags are listed in its trailer and it lacks "something" to be a better movie.

The Marvels

Another boring and inconsequential Marvel movie, not much different from what DC would do.

The change of positions between protagonists is the only interesting thing, but it doesn't feel very used.

It's really hard to make a bad movie with Emma Stone naked for half the film. But, wow, here we are.

It is true that Emma is a good actress (however she is a shitty character with dubious ethics), the production design, costumes and cinematography are great. But that's all, an empty shell as one of the quirky characters says.

No, it is not an smart or surreal film. The brief message (repeated once again at the end, in case you are stupid) is interspersed with long cheap porn scenes that do not provoke in the sense it is intended. It's a terrible movie, no matter how many independent film awards it wins.

Secret Invasion

Monotonous, inconsequential, boring. Not what the MCU needed right now to raise interest after a whole completely forgettable phase.

Oppenheimer

Yes, it's a good movie, it's well directed and the performances are great. But it's not the kind of Nolan movie I want to see and it can get boring if you don't know the subject or the real story.

Boring. Overrated. Slow. I know it's considered a classic but I haven't seen any interest in it. Perhaps for the North American audience, but in other countries the message does not leave a mark. There are a thousand more interesting police stories.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

It's not Fury Road. It doesn't pretend to be. It expands the Mad Max universe, adds charisma to the characters and ends up making the saga, if it wasn't already, one of the great milestones of cinema.

Top Secret!

It has aged worse than I remembered. There are some memorable gags, but the story is very silly and the musical scenes ruin the pacing. It entertains but it is not the best comedy of its genre. Naked Gun and Airplane! are better.

X-Men '97

It's a good series. It doesn't do anything special, but it maintains the quality of the original, and that's already much more than what the current Marvel offers.

Steamboy

It's a Katsuhiro Otomo film, so you can expect great animation and spectacular action. But it is not a masterpiece, the story is not that interesting.

It's entertaining, to say the least.

City Hunter

It's ok. Good action scenes, although the humor that would work in an anime/manga here sometimes is a little cringey.

Bad, and a new demonstration that the first season was a 'one hit wonder'. A similar case to Westworld.

Slow, with personal plots that are not interesting, with gratuitous gore that goes nowhere. It's really a shame because I want to like it but no, it's a terrible season.

I know that it is considered cult, but at least watching the season now I have the feeling that it does not reveal its full potential. It doesn't seem like a great fantasy story, or a mecha story, or a romantic one. It has all this, but also many clichés, villains who change sides easily and a story that is too long for what it tells.

Yoko Kanno's music is fantastic, that's true. One of the best soundtracks in anime.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Worst than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It doesn't feel like an Indiana Jones movie. Harrison Ford is a spectator of the action in the background who goes from one place to another without much meaning. Sorry, but the movie is not only a universe away from the original trilogy, it's also lacking in the set pieces from the fourth.

Extraction 2

I expected something more after the John Wick comparisons. Yes, the one shot scene is spectacular, but the rest is pretty generic.

Really bad, and I'm a fan of Halloween. No terror, minimal gore and terrible story.

Collateral

Good, and Cruise as villain is a plus.

Valhalla Rising

As bad as everything Nicolas Winding Refn does, except for Drive, which was a 'one hit wonder'. Very contemplative and good landscapes, but a drag that you want to end quickly.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

A curious series, which was famous at the time, but I don't consider it a classic. And I skipped the endless summer trolling completely.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

I think it's one of those movies that becomes more appreciated the more time passes. When it was released it was quickly forgotten because blockbusters appeared with digital FX, but it is very well animated, it is funny but not childish. In fact, some scenes may be scary for children.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Probably the worst Star Wars product I've ever seen, although Disney sure is trying hard to lower the bar.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

A film as stupid as the previous one, but it doesn't fool the viewer. It offers what you want: great battles and good FX. On the downside, the monsters (especially Kong) are being humanized and their history is instantly forgotten.

The Garden of Words

A film by Makoto Shinkai, or in other words, wonderful animation and a romantic touch for a short story. It is not his best film, but it is appreciated that it does not last longer than necessary.

Weathering with You

Film with all the hallmarks of Makoto Shinkai, that is, great animation, urban fantasy and a romantic touch. If you like his other films, it's worth your attention.

Demon City Shinjuku

It is considered a classic of 80s anime and you can understand why. The aesthetics of the time have something that has been lost in current animation, it is dark, gore, a lot of demonic fantasy. It just lacks some nudity to compare to Ninja Scroll or Vampire Hunter D.

But it is also inferior to the aforementioned films. The story is very simple and the characters, including the protagonist, are not very well developed. It's worth it if you like this style of anime but it's quickly forgotten.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

I have never been a fan of Ghostbusters (although I have seen all of them) and I don't understand why it is a successful saga. And this movie is very poor and boring.

The entire film anticipates a villain who is dispatched without problem and quickly, never being a threat.

Fallout: Season 1

Good series, budgeted and well written. The problem I see is that there are only eight episodes and there are a couple of fillers, it feels like a long introduction of the characters.

They already have the base, let's hope it improves now.

Summer Wars

A curious story, but I would have preferred it not to focus so much on the Oz part but more on the family and the relationship between the characters. It's worth a look.

Dragonball Evolution

It's not one of those "so bad it's good" movies. It's bad. Bad as a movie and as an adaptation. There is nothing usable.
