Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)
Just OK, but at least MCU has some direction
Pros:
-Jonathan Majors is great, can't wait to see more of him on screen.
-We get some clear direction (which has been lacking) for what is to come in MCU.
Cons:
-Visually underwhelming, nothing spectacular. At one point I felt like I was watching a spy kids movie (which is something I love, but the point is it was just not great).
-Lame dialogue, which MCU sometimes pulls off as charming but didn't land here for me. The most clever one liners were spoiled in the trailers already.
-A particularly absurd and annoying character that was wholly unnecessary to the plot development, but was necessary for the movie as it would otherwise be another unmemorable multiverse adventure.
Criminal Minds: Lucky Strikes (2017)
Just ok
Enjoyed the story more than some recent ones, did not enjoy the depiction of Penelope's PTSD. A hug from an old friend does not undo 10 years of trauma and flip a magical switch to her normal bubbly self, I wish they'd shown her getting better support for this.
Criminal Minds: The Inspiration (2013)
Interesting story
Enjoyed the story, twists, and actual profiling/problem solving, but there are some bits that are not for faint of heart. Genuinely made me a little queasy!
Criminal Minds: The Wheels on the Bus... (2012)
Imagine a low budget horror film but with CM cast
I won't trash it as much as others as the premise was intriguing enough to get me to the end. I do agree that the actual profiling was lacking and they were banking on the audience being sold based on the "video game" premise. Dialogue was cringe-worthy at points and it was definitely off-base for the series.
Criminal Minds: North Mammon (2006)
confused by the high ratings for this episode
JJ's storyline is not interesting or good. This is an episode literally about high school drama and is totally off track for the role of the BAU. I may have rated higher if I was watching a different show....but not for a criminal minds episode.
