Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)
Maybe there's a reason the review embargo hasn't been lifted yet..
I don't know man... This has been extremely disappointing. I'm not sold on most of the characters so far, but don't I think it's the actors fault. Some of these one-liners they're given are extremely cringeworthy.
Some of the decisions these characters make are questionable as well. Little Leia, all of a sudden, decides to dart away from Obi-Wan, then changes her mind after he saves her (even though he had already saved her a few times from being killed/kidnapped again).
When inquisitors have Obi-Wan cornered, Reva and the Grand inquisitor get in an argument, eventually leading to Reva killing the Grand inquisitor causing Obi-Wan to escape. I don't know.. I'm just not sold on how these 2 scenes played out.
I'm a big Star Wars fan. I've liked almost every piece of content (Movies & TV series) the franchise has given us (I wasn't a fan of 'The Rise of Skywalker').
I have so much more to say about these first 2 episodes, but I don't want to continue hating on the show. It's still early in the season with 4 remaining episodes left.
....I'm starting to see why they haven't released the critics reviews yet....
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part I (2022)
Let's see what happens..
Just a tad bit disappointed in the opening, but not bad overall. Your opinion might depend on the state of mind you're in when you watch it.
I don't want to be quick to judge. I was hoping the first episode would feature Obi-Wan a little bit more, since the show is named after him. I'm sure they are just setting the plot for the future episodes (there's only 5 more episodes left).
I'm very curious to see what the critics have to say. I'm crossing my fingers in hopes it improves overtime.
Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty: Invisible Man (2022)
Not even remotely close to being true.
I've loved this series all they way up until this last episode. I'm still a fan of the series, but this last episode has really ticked me off.
I get it that that Hollywood has to bend the truth a little to tell a story, but almost everything that happen in this week's episode is completely false (Look at the Laker's 79-80 schedule/results).
Again, I'm still a fan of the series and will be tuning in next Sunday. Maybe just portray on screen what actually happen that season??
Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
Lower your expectations..
A tad bit better than the first, but that's not saying much.
I enjoyed the first 30 minutes, but the rest was sub-par. The story telling was unoriginal & very juvenile. Boring & very predictable. It felt too safe with no risks, especially towards the end. I was barely motivated enough to finish out the last 20 minutes of the film. We all knew what was going to happen to the characters at the end.
Some positives.. The acting was great. The characters were (are) great. I enjoyed the movie's fast-pace flow, to a fault. I'm also glad they embraced the silly side of the Venom-Eddie Brock duo. Tom Hardy as Venom/Eddie Brock is entertaining stuff.
Venom has always been one of my favorite characters in the Marvel Universe, so it's a little disappointing for the first 2 movies to turn out the way they did. This franchise (still) has a lot of potential to do something great, and not just above average at best. I'm hoping Sony turns the keys over to Marvel like they did with Spider-Man. The Marvel universe could use an anti-hero, like Venom.
I am glad to see the movie did VERY well at the box office. Last time I checked it was 3rd on the highest (domestic) box office list, behind Shang-Chi & Spider-Man. I'm looking forward to see how the 3rd Venom movie or appearance turns out. I'm hoping for a Spider-Man/Venom crossover.
My rating on Venom: Let there be Carnage is a 6 out of 10. Or 61 out of 100.
If you lower your expectations enough, you just might like it.
Dune: Part One (2021)
What more could you ask for?
I know it has mostly positive reviews, but I don't understand why anyone would give this movie a low score. What else/more could you ask for in a SCI-FI MOVIE.
Hans Zimmer's score alone deserves a 10/10.
For anyone giving this movie a 1/10, you're trolling. But if you're not, maybe stay away from watching sci-fi movies in the near future, eh?
