Taxi 5

taxi 1 2 3 and 4. check. mediocre films but entertaining.

taxi 5? garbage. old characters are gone. the ones who remain are plain idiots. even the driving is lackluster.

waste of time.

One-Punch Man: Season 1

I love this show! it's fun, funny, packed with intensity and epic battles. dragon Ball z on steroids without 5 episodes of increasing power for that battle

Ready Player One

Brilliantly fun, well written and directed, LOTS of references some subtle others quite obvious to movies, games, characters, etc... kept smiling from start to finish. great movie.

Laughed a lot. Dean is hysterical in this episode. A good chance of pace and watch the post credits!

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: 1x05 Truth

Why would you need to turn political on this. This episode was a pain to watch. Just paving the way for a black captain America with the focus on being black and not the qualities Steve Rogers showed to the whole world. It's not about being a great human being, but just about the colour of the skin. Allied with a psycho, fallen to disgrace white captain America just didn't captivate me. The worst episode so far.
On a side note, small parts of character building were pleasing to watch

Avengers: Endgame

Well, 3 years after, finally got to see the movie. Managed to fend off the spoilers which was great for my viewing experience.
I really enjoyed the movie and great conclusion to the enormous marathon of movies before it.

There are several things I really dislike about the movie, like fat Thor, minimizing Vision's sacrifice and power ( for someone with an infinity stone in its forehead was expecting more), and captain getting to return to the past? that was the guide, don't charge anything for the plan to work right?

Widow's sacrifice was also a high point helping define Hawkeye's path.

But overall I really, really liked it. Had lots of fun watching and felt emotionally involved with the plot. Fitting end to the "greatest Avenger", the weight of the universe on his shoulders, loved Cap and Thor side by side, spider man, doctor strange and the whole gang together.

good one!

WandaVision

This one is not like the others. You need to push through the first episodes to make some sense of it. Then it gets traction, gets interesting and shows a really dark powerful side of Wanda's.

The grief of someone who lost all that mattered to her, allied with the scarlet witch's power makes way for a pretend world with mind controlled residents giving a sense of normalcy.

the characters are fine overall but who the heck is Agnes? And how is she able to keep out of everyone's radar.

good show, demonstrating Wanda's human side.
Fun!

The Book of Boba Fett: 1x07 Chapter 7: In the Name of Honor

Season ends with a good episode. The last ones were good but had nothing to do with Boa Fett. This shows his allies help him fight for dominance of Tatooine in an honourable person, wanting the best for the people. What a change from the known Boba. As usual, Mando steals the show. Although Fett stil manages to kill Cab Bane in. 20 second fight.
The droids follow the stormtroopers creed "can't hit sh*t" even when the targets are all clustered and together.
The 8 given reflects the good parts and Mando's and the kid appearance with an entertaining plot but with lack of execution.
Found it better than the ones with Boba Fett and generally entertaining.

The Mandalorian: 2x05 Chapter 13: The Jedi

Usually I review the entire season and not individual episodes, but freaking Ashoka Tano!!
Come on! We find the kid's name, Grogu, and get a blast of the dark path and the sorrow that still haunts Ashoka regarding the clone wars and Skywalker's fall.
Besides it's a good plot, something Ashoka would really be doing and more building of Mando's personality.
Jedi are enemies of Mandalore, but they work together.
Great episode!
Grogu!

F9

Hahahahahahahaha. Well I got what I was expecting. As the franchise goes forward the film's get more ridiculous every time.
I had fun and enjoyed the movie but found myself rolling my eyes through several scenes like "really?".
Predictable story, missing Brian, Shaw and Hobbs results in one of those Sunday movies that we just watch.
Story short, when you have family you don't need physics!

Don't Look Up

I gave this movie a 6 just because of the cast and acting which was spot on, otherwise would be lower.

I found it boring with a great satire of today's modern society.

Globally, scientists aren't heard nor listened to and even when the evidence is right in front of their eyes they still deny it.
It depicts the purposeless of most of our lives giving attention and importance to petty things, events and persons. And we keep making stupid people famous...

If that's the purpose of the film than it accomplished what it set out to be, although in a boring and just occasionally funny way.

The Office: Season 1

Off to a really slow start. the first episodes are hard to follow through but feel the pace and funny moments increasing to the end of the season.

expected better really. there are some moments that are more cringe time than funny time and find myself saying from time to time, is this the office everyone laughs about?

gonna try 2nd season with low expectations.

Assassination Classroom: Season 2

Fun show with an original concept. Learning and developing all life skill through assassination. Loses a bit here and there with traditional manga parts but overall very fun to watch. Koro Sensei evolves and tales the whole Classroom with him. strong ending which takes the show full circle.

Black Panther

Good superhero movie. Good acting and plot show a growing king redeeming the wrongs of past. Loved in the end not taking the easy obvious way with the good guys saving everyone. Showed an evolving culture still holding the ancient ways which almost caused a disgrace worldwide. Wakanda for ever!

The Lion King

I usually rate my movies accordingly to how I felt watching it and that's why I have it an 8. The beginning is superb just like the original and I just felt happy with the iconic and familiar song. And just like the original so is most of the rest of the film. A few changes here and there but the songs and moments are present. I felt Musafa's death was underwhelming for my hopes but I got into the story and sometimes felt like a little kid again, which was great!

What If...?

Refreshing take on alternate universes. It's fun to watch thinking of several what ifs.

However, it has several plot holes mainly in some weak episodes and the silly choice of heroes from the multiverse. With so many choices that's the best the watcher can muster?

You can argue that's the point since he knows all and sees all but still. Fun, boring, entertaining but mostly meh.

The Book of Boba Fett: Season 1

What can I say about a show that gives the best episodes when the main character doesn't feature in them?
Feels boring and a bad follow up for the Mandalorian until the Mandalorian features in it. I find it strange that they use 2 episodes to build on Mando's story outside the Mandalorian! How do they justify that the kids return is done on a different show when we are waiting for Mando's season 3 after leaving the kid?
It was entertaining because star wars, but without the Mandalorian it would be much worse. Feels like and unneeded show and doesn't build the hype for a following season.

Just a rant, after watching the Jedi having troubles with Cad Bane through all of clone wars, seeing an aging Boba Fett get rid of him in like 20 seconds was simply strange. Either Jedi are idiots and terrible fighters or... something's off. Jango Fett and Boba Fett were bested by Jedi and Cad Bane successfully fended off more than one Jedi at the same time. What gives?

Free Guy

Fun movie with a somewhat different approach to the lives of NPCs. It's easy to watch and to find several references do other movies and characters.

After ready player one though, it's just one more movie.

The Mandalorian: Season 2

Builds beautifully on the first season. This one is better paced and has better general direction.
I find myself involved in the plot, rooting for my favourite characters and laughing at some fun parts.
The season ending is great and the last episode is superb. I'm really curious to where it goes from here.
Mando is really good and believable and I got to love Fennec Shand. She kicks a** and plays a superb character.
Best of the SW universe for quite some time.

The Mandalorian: Season 1

Western spaghetti meets Star Wars. The idea is great and explores the SW world a bit. Familiar and unfamiliar places and people.
It starts kinda slow but gets going with a short season but some really good episodes.
Because it is so short, some filler episodes kinda bum me out but there is always something going on.
Excited for season 2!

Turning Red

This is just a regular animation movie. It revolves around the dramas of 13 year olds with focus on an Asian family with super controller mother. Watching the story kind of explains why the mother is like that and everything builds from there.
The animation is superb and the pandas are top notch.
For me, it's an enjoyable movie, that leaves a lot of unanswered questions regarding the hole family legacy.
So not great but not bad either, far from Pixar's best.

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum

JOHN F***ING WICK! You really don't mess with the Baba Yaga.
Although losing the novelty from the first one this is a really action packed kick ass movie.
The fights are tremendous and a monstrous scene with Sofia and her dogs... One of the best ever!
The dialog isn't nothing to write home about but this is an action movie and it delivers on all counts.
Some new characters are a worthy addition and I'm really fired up to see where this goes.

Invincible

When I first started the show I really struggled to get by the first episode. But then... WTF! This got interesting.
It's well paced, building up to the season finale, developing main characters and their motivations and ideals. The secondary characters don't add much to the show but are a good support network.
It explores a good plot and is well written.
The final episode is epic!
Let's hope for a good 2nd season.

Baki Hanma

Got a lot worse than the original series. the fights are slow and quick without any exciting parts. I'm deciding whether to keep watching just for the final fight between father and son, but this one was a pain to watch...

Just finished the show. The final 4 episodes are EPIC, the rest of the seasons are a bit of hit and miss with several interesting parts of world's and people affected by the war and the way they see it.
Ashoka Tano is an excellent character. she's likable, honest, has her heart on the right place and grows so much throughout the show.
She makes a terrific pair with Anakin Skywalker and it's great to see a padawan with Skywalker.
Takes us through the clone wars, up until order 66. Grows our vision of the clones as human beings and their search of self and purpose.

Missing from the show are pivotal parts of the plot, like Dooku's death, Grievous's capture and the standoff between the chancellor, na Windu and the fall of Anakin into Darth Vader.

On a side note, Jedis are idiots. May be because of their ideals, but they are found lacking throughout the whole show. Not very clever, insightful, sharp or that much great warriors as they are made out to be. It gets better towards the end.

Overall, loved the show!

Castlevania: 4x10 It's Been a Strange Ride

script writers take notes. that's how you end a show. the last two episodes are flawlessly epic, and a show with a proper ending is something rare. loved the show!
although the door is open for more seasons it's a great ending

Game of Thrones: 8x04 The Last of the Starks

great season up until this episode. it's full of plot holes. so many things that simply don't make sense. scenes that don't make sense, stupid decisions and characters that suddenly seem someone else. bronn out of nowhere, euron is a magical creature who appears with perfect timing everywhere, no one scouts ahead in a war, no one sees the ships while the ships see them perfectly, a meeting with cersei where she could have killed anyone without effort and ended the war.
while I still enjoyed this episode, it was several levels bellow the first episodes.

starting to fear how it will all end.

and leave the dragons alone!
