Everything about this is very meh.
I can't say there is anything about 'Jungle 2 Jungle' that I liked or enjoyed, I don't think it is anything overtly terrible but it's just so boring. None of the cast are memorable, the plot is lazy and the pacing is well off. It does attempt heart, though it doesn't hit all that sharply.
The performances of Tim Allen (Michael) and Martin Short (Richard) - though not good - at least keep the film away from the depths of awful. I also think Sam Huntington (Mimi) is alright in this. There's also an appearance from Jumba Jookiba himself, David Ogden Stiers.
All in all, It's just a very basic and plain live-action production from Disney. The stereotypical 'jokes' don't help its cause, either.
I knew what was going to happen but still, damn that ending.
Sort of a lazy way to write out a character, I hope Miles returns, I think I've caught an episode where he does come back
I'm not sure why this season was so full of Ida. She's the least funny character to me and actually gets kind of annoying. I don't enjoy her eps lol
That plot twist was so fucking WEAK. "Hey someone dropped their stuff, let me pick up this one single piece of paper and read it. AH it's their secret master plan, I'm telling my boss right away." I cringed so hard I think I dislocated my spleen somehow.
Maybe if he wasn't using Emacs he would be able to turn autoindent on in Vim for her, so no more spacespacespacespace.
Man, what they did with his shares is really messed up. Forcing him to sell $5M worth of shares (at least) for only $700K. Not cool, Laurie.
If my mother was naked and dead in the street, I would not cover her body with that jacket.
ROTFL
It’s like watching someone play a pretentious shooter on easy, with unlimited ammo and auto aim turned on, so basically a borefest outside of a couple of sequences. I just need to reconcile with the fact that these movies are not going to click with me.
Though stylish like all the previous entries, this one simply felt like it had been directed by someone who had played a bit too many sessions of online shooters or really enjoyed the 'new mission / new setting' feel of the Hitman series. The fact that Keanu's word count in this movie is probably lower than 200 further cements this feeling.
There is almost no content of worth. The movie achieves something previously unimaginable by this series by making the fights feel like repetitive cookie cutter clutter and thus extremely boring to sit through. We get it, John is a superhuman assassin who's GunFoo is better than most. We do not need the same fights 7-8 times to hammer that home. With the body count growing to match that of a warzone, and not a single scratch on John, where are the stakes? Why should the audience care?
Then there are the spectators.
During some of these fights there are masses of spectators, just normal folks either dancing at a club or driving around Arc de Triomphe, that do not even blink as John is peppered with machine gun fire and men with axes come after him. As the bodies pile on, these spectators just continue their NPC activities like they are in a badly coded 90's video game.
It should be obvious to anyone that the series is running out of ideas when it needed to up the ante so much with the firefights that John's most used item is not the guns he wields, but the bullet proof suite he wears.
For most of the fights we see him cover his head with his jacket as he returns fire in generic setting after generic setting.
At the entirely too manieth such fight, roughly 2 hours into this 3 hour bore fest, I walked out.
The dumbest episode of this entire show. I mean, what's so hard about hiring UX specialists and simplifying the service so users could understand it? For a show that tries to be both satirical and true to life, this is just plain stupid.
"Richard entered us without consent."
How is it that a small base in the middle of the forest has methods to check if they are letting a human or an android into their base? Yet the big base in Boston that even has an EMP available just brings anyone in?
This lapse in thinking through their story points basically makes the climax of the movie, and everything thereafter, null and void.
Are you saying they didnt test that Arthur dude? How?
So Korea of all countries is not affected by androids?
North Korea doesn't need babies and I would have my child rather live in an apocalypse than there, South Korea adapts to new technology faster than Europe and the US do.
The argument is also stupid. Children are the financial burden. Adults need jobs to provide for themselves and their children. Children need someone to provide for them while not producing anything themselves.
That is part of the reason birthrates are declining in the first world.
Pure melodramatic bullshit.
Otherwise the movie was okish but nothing to rave about.
Too many plot holes and unanswered questions, G.
If they had cloaking tech, why kill the cop? It’s kind of pointless & wasn’t necessary.
"I think you might be the first Pakistani man to be killed by a drone INSIDE the United States"
Just as I worried, this show is becoming less interesting with every episode. They're focusing way more on the generic and less interesting aspects and characters than they are on the interesting parts. Dialogue constantly feels very off and unbelievable.
It could still change and get better, but so far it looks as though this show might be one of the biggest cases of wasted potential I've seen this year.
I wish they would stop trying to push the romantic subplot with Wilf and Flynn. They clearly have no chemistry and it adds little too the story.
I'm also failing to see why RI cares so much about stolen information in a stub. They can just as easily cause a devastating world war there and call it done.
01x06 - Fuck You and Eat Shit: 7.4/10 (Good, It Gets the Job Done, Slightly Flawed)
Despite the hour-long runtime, I felt like the story could have progressed more; in fact, the last three episodes have all fallen short in this regard. Just two episodes remain in the season, and it seems like they are trying to cram too much into them in order to preserve as much of the story as possible for the second season. Many aspects, such as what the Neoprims actually are, remain unexplained. We haven't spent enough time with Zubov to have a good sense of what exactly his deal is. While a good mystery is always appreciated, it's crucial to provide viewers with a deeper understanding of the established characters of people and key concepts. The introduction of Lowbeer was unquestionably the best part of the episode. Hopefully, things will get much more interesting from here on out.
"We may not be a global epidemic yet, but... we've leapt from bat saliva to humans and... and we've just killed our first few villagers."
Watching this during COVID, and I hear that line :grimacing:
God how can this guy Richard can be so stupid !!!
It's unbelievable ...
Time to kill this show. It's beyond repetitive by now
New season, Same shit.
Time to end it, maybe?
Jian Yang is due for a solid punch in the face. And can Richard please do something awesome without screwing it up?!
