CW caliber acting/writing. Stargate SG-1 caliber sets. Comic-con caliber make-up/costuming.
...and some of the dumbest Jedi ever...
so far (2 episodes), a very boring series. Disney is trying to squeezes every penny they can get from star wars...
Having been a die-hard fan of the video games I have high hopes (but low expectations) that this show will be awesome! I felt Silo had a very Fallout feel to them and if this is at least as good as Silo has been then this will be a winner!
The first half was quite enjoyable, as a slightly biased Norwegian I'd say I've seen the concept before, expect first 5 minutes in Norway, then onto Sweden and a grand finale in Finland. Yet, the first part was good, Sweden section alright, then Finland was a bunch of fake BS lol. I know they script a lot of stuff, but here it felt truly stupid, non believeable and even for TG/GT standards poor acting.
Long story short, put em in some semi scripted situation you can catch gold. Full script it it's just terrible.
The thought of this made me explosively puke so hard I took out a gaggle of Nuns from 50 feet away.
The first 3/4s of this episode are so generic and full of plot holes that I felt compelled to write a review. Every time Galadriel appears I feel I'm watching Mulan... The music can be so generic and underwhelming sometimes... Random 12-hour charge from the ships to save a village they had no idea it existed and was attacked in the first place. Randomly the queen knows Isildur very well and somehow, she decides: "oh yeah kid, go and fight because you're itching for battle with 0 experience", and oooh so it happens he rushes and his dad is in peril!... wtf???!!! are you for real? Same bullshit fight with the elf and the huge orc while Bronwyn coming to save him was so predictable... This is the worst episode of all so far. I'm sure Disney would've done a better job. The good like always are the costumes and the makeup, great looking orcs. last part of the episode is good, and leaves us with a cliffhanger. I wonder if they'll finally deliver next week
Oh God no, not Wade! Not the character we don't even know, and couldn't give less of a care about. Why did you have to take such a nobody from us!?
Yawn, this show is just plain boring.
Acting? Bad.
Writing:? Bad.
Directing? Bad.
I really enjoyed The Mandolorian and even parts of Boba Fett, but this latest effort from Disney is dumb, poorly made, and worst of all, boring. I really cannot believe how bad this is.
Aren't lightsabers supposed to be these super rare weapons? Yet, this bunch of rag-tag farmers have a whole case just laying about?
The plot points of this entire show are soooo simplistic, it's embarrassing: A door needs to be opened? Meh, let's just have it open and shut by itself, no need to explain. The little robot has been hacked? Meh, just pull a little magnet off it and it's back to normal. The little robot destroyed the main hatch controls, oh and what's that, it'll take you 4-5h to fix? Meh, just send in the 10 year-old actual princess with a Philip's screwdriver, she'll get it done in under 20min. Vader can pull ships right out of the sky and tear them apart like paper? Meh, just hide another massive 20-ton ship behind the first one, and pretend this one can take-off faster than the first, so it can safely get away .
Barely an inconvenience.
Bail leaving a message for Kenobi in where he mentions Tatooine and 'the boy' gotta be one of the dumbest and laziest things I've ever seen in Star Wars (and the bar is not that high). Some of the writings decisions in this series truly are baffling.
Another vulgar display of poor acting, no facial expressions, no feelings, nothing, a robot, but we are all racist for criticizing the bad acting :rolling_eyes:... Also... Ice Wars, Star Cube :metal:
Hahahaha... How on earth are they shooting face to face in the cave and they are still missing??
That was the dumbest final twist I’ve seen in a long time.
It basically renders all the tension of the previous 30 minutes meaningless.
Would it be possible to distinguish between Top Gear AS WAS vs the new imposter. I don't want to not have Top Gear on my watchlist but I also don't want to be reminded of "new" episodes.
All those little service robots? Adorable! The Kid? In a space ship? Awesome! The kid eating? Cute! The kid using the force in battle? Great! The Mandalorian (the shiny one)? Cool! The little green alien man without a name? Intimidating! The other aliens? Astonishingly creative costumes and make up! Nice too look at!
The 80s Gothic Vespa/Cyberpunk gang? Stupid. Fennec? Boring! Boba? Couldn't care less!
How did they get that wrong? Constantly? I'm attached to every little service robot a lot more than to Boba...
Plus, it's a weak finale. All that alliance building, diplomacy, politics, befriending local townsmen, Boba in the back story shown as a man who became wiser and more experienced, all that parcours training was totally inconsequential. In the end, it was raw firepower of two guys in an armour and ä donated (!) beast. Yeah, I know it's stupid Star Wars and they love their lasers, but it feels pointless. Plus, the HAL killing robot's aim is extremely poor.
Damn nearly died of laughter when it skipped to them fishing for cod haha.
Started ok. Ended up as pile of shit.
Let's be honest... We all knew Rachel was a biatch since the beginning!
The cgi is absolutely stunning! However, the story moves super fast. The childish parts are a bit over the top as well.
Why do people like it? I just don't get it.
Generic flat characters, and predictable plot ... The movie is ok to pass the time, but nothing more.
And ,Dark Elves , seriously?
This is mostly stuck in second gear for the entire runtime, it’s very bland and poorly directed. Interestingly, despite having a different director at the helm a lot of the problems from X-Men Apocalypse carry over. There’s once again visible cheapness in the costumes and make-up, Lawrence phones it in, Sophie Turner can’t pull off what she’s asked to do and the story feels muddled. The new elements it adds on top of that don’t really work either, for example Jessica Chastain gives the most lifeless performance of her career as the villain of this film. Generally, it just looks and feels like a cheap tv show, Kinberg clearly wasn’t ready for this. Due to it’s smaller scale it never becomes as schlocky as the worst moments in Apocalypse, X-Men Origins Wolverine or The Last Stand, but this movie feels unambitious next to all of those films. I’d be fine with the approach if it had genuine good writing and interesting direction, but what’s being served here is not cerebral, emotional or exciting.
3.5/10
Can't wait for season 3. This was great from start to finish.
The fightscene in the school was pretty good to say the least... Hell it comes close to Daredevil for me in a way.
Great stuff and, again, the way original material should be treated for a new era: with respect to what came before.
So, all of a sudden Peralta and Gina are best buddies and grew up together in the same house? Didn't that come a bit out of the blue?
Season 2 is less worse(only in terms of fight scenes) that the first season but it wasn't alleviated enough to be called a decent show. It is still consistent in being the worst Netflix Marvel show with dull and predictable story-telling. The last two episodes were relatively palatable.
Ridiculous things in season 2
-> "I want my stern parent's approval by any means" cliche by Davos.
-> Collen teaching the Iron Fist (who learned kung fu from the monks in Kun Lun all his life) how to fight.
-> Ward Meachum's redemption arc was warranted.
-> Davos training kids to cleanse to the city with a his newfound precipitous messiah complex. Can't the makers make something original?
Iron Fist only worked in his momentary scenes in Defenders and Luke Cage.
Great episode, things are moving a nice pace. Wish they stop killing off the Direwovles though , that was hard to watch and especially to listen too.
This is a decent show...not really good but cheesy good. There are some parts that are fantastic and some parts that are subpar so it evens out to a decent show.
Anthony Stewart Head as Uther is probably the best part of this show, he is a rock solid actor.
This show had so much potential with having them the same age, they could have done SOOOO MUCH but they chose to ignore pretty much all of that potential.
With that said, the series finale is INCREDIBLY AWFUL so it tainted the show for me so I would suggest just skip the last episode.
Made me want to buy a smoker.
