Supergirl (2015)
Bad story, bad acting, bad director, bad everything.
I had good hope for this show and started watching it without reading any reviews, unfortunately i'm extremely disappointed. The story line is way to predictable and poorly written, the casting is bad and the special effects are appalling. Costumes of "aliens" and androids look like trash that would come in last on a high school cosplay competition. The acting is horrible, Melissa Benoist does quite well, but most of the other actors put up an extremely poor performance. And then there's the errors made by the director and production team, an elevator shaft that looks to go up at least 20 more floors even though they already are at the top floor. Every episode is full of stupid errors and inconsistencies, not even starting on the amount of stupidity they try to get away with if you take real life physics into account. All in all it's just a very bad show that would profit from a better director and writer.
Hawaii Five-0: Ka Haunaele (2016)
so bad, just so so bad
The CGI elephant couldn't have been done worse, i've seen computer games with more convincing and more realistic animals. Also the wannabe robocop cylon suit was just sad, it looked like a bad Bollywood movie. Did anyone working on this episode actually think it was any good? I can't imagine to be honest. This episode was two weeks late because if it aired on April 1st it would have made a lot of sense. It's a joke. Most of this season has been bad and the stories have become more stupid almost every episode. I hope this fake cheap 80s action flick vibe will be a thing of the past in the next season because this is just no fun. Get some real weapons training for the crew so it doesn't look like they are holding potatoes instead of guns. Let them actually aim at something instead of doing a rambo. Nobody that even held a gun shoots like that because you couldn't even hit the ground if you tried. Oh and sorry, but some kids need some acting lessons.
Earth to Echo (2014)
Fun to watch and different than expected
I read many reviews on how bad this movie is and that it's not suited for kids or that the shaky camera is such an issue.
I can't agree. The acting isn't Oscar worthy, but it's not worse than the average TV series. Also this movie is made with kids in mind, kids don't care if the acting quality isn't at the same level as The Godfather. As for the shaky camera, yes there are some parts that have a shaking camera, if you get motion sickness from playing videogames this is not the movie for you, but then again, most kids don't have that problem and me personally didn't mind either. It delivers the concept of a movie shot with a handycam pretty well and it helps with the story line of the movie.
For the extremely conservative parents: Yes there is a scene with a party where two people kiss, this scene is 2 seconds long and kissing is only human and won't get you pregnant. Yes people are drinking alcohol but kids don't know that since nobody in the movie is acting drunk or stupid and nobody is advertising the fact that they are drinking alcohol. Yes there is a scene in a bar, but the bar is being portrayed as a place you definitely wouldn't want to be, so no harm done there.
Bottom line is that the story of the movie isn't new, the acting isn't great and the special effects aren't mind blowing. But it's a nice movie, it's fun to watch and it's probably suitable for kids 8 years and over. I liked the movie, it left me satisfied and with a smile on my face. And if a movie can do that then i am convinced it's worth watching for others too.
Frozen (2013)
Way to much singing, not enough story
This is a horrible movie if you expect a funny animation movie about an elk and a snowman. I was hoping this was the quality of a movie like Aladin, The Lion King or Beauty and the Beast, but it doesn't even come near. There's a boring song in between every 2 minutes of movie, sure there are song is Disney movies but this is just to much. Also the way the main characters act is nowhere near traditional Disney movies, the main character acts like she's the lead in some kind of high school comedy. Oh and apparently it's OK to date two guys at once, i guess that's also a high school comedy influence. movie, to much singing and stupid characters.
Furious 6 (2013)
The stupidity of inaccuracy
This movie contains just to many errors. OK of course a director could bend the laws of physics a bit in his favor, but this was just to much to handle. It starts with the opening scene, lots of really ugly edited sped up shots of 2 cars racing. For some reason a charger can keep up with a GTR, but OK. Then, since when is a landing strip 20 miles long? The airplane scene just doesn't seem to end, and when it does, hey there's the end of the runway... finally... after 15 minutes of 100mph driving and fighting. Also there are cars flying trough the aircraft as if it was made out of cardboard... Everybody is shifting gears (with the lever) in cars with automatic transmissions (also the ones with paddles on the wheel) probably to make it seem like they are driving "really fast". Please just hire pro drivers, put a camera on a lower point of view and actually drive fast, it will look fast. The tank is an ugly prop, when it breaks out of the truck it's in the canon hangs loose as if it's not even bolted to the tank. Someone slapped on some parts to hide the actual tank and the director doesn't even know what he's dealing with because in interviews he is talking about a WWII tank, but in fact it's a British Chieftain tank first build in the 1960s. (i believe WWII only lasted until 1945) It's driving over cars as if they are not even there (ok a tank can do that) but when he gets to the car of one of the main characters, for some reason that car just gets pushed forward for 2 minutes. Also apparently in Spain its the middle of the day while it's midnight in London (1 hour time difference in the real world). The whole movie is just really bad, the acting is horrible, the story is bad, and there's not a single scene that doesn't contain an error of some kind. Other Fast and Furious movies were over the top, but this just was to much stupidity for one movie.
