Clickbait: The Answer (2021)
Taken along for quite an amusing ride only to be left with a stupid ending
All l wanna know is why? The rest of the series was honestly pretty enjoyable (with weird things here and there) all the way up until this episode 8 (the finale). The twist makes no sense and so many of the character's decisions make me ask more WHY? Don't expect to get a satisfying ending though; maybe the writers ran out of time.
The Hunt for the Zodiac Killer (2017)
Enormous waste of time that got me so angry, l have to express it in this review.
This entire series could have been easily condensed into an hour and a half long documentary, but the editing makes it so they have so much "filler time" riddled with people repeating themselves over and and over again, rehashing the same information, with all the stereotypical tropes of dramatic reveals with instrument hits in the most basic "discoveries". lt started out interesting, and l watched to the end out of curiosity, but the end was so extremely dis-satisfying. Many scenes also feel dramatized or setup because of the way they shot everything, and there just HAPPENS to always be a camera recording for breakthroughs. lt's super maddening and makes the series feel so artificial. ln the end, this documentary was okay, but such a HUGE waste of time.
Batman & Robin (1997)
A movie so bad, it's laughable
l don't understand how this movie exists. This movie took a huge turn from Batman (1989) and Batman Returns; l understand the direction of the film to mimic a comic book style, but when you slap in some cartoon sound effects, HORRIBLE acting, and terrible direction, you just get one giant mess of a movie. I'm going to give special effects a pass, being that this movie is 19 years old (but they were still pretty horrible).
This movie was truly painful to watch, however, if you don't take it seriously, you will actually be able to laugh at how bad the film is. You know those movies that are just so bad, it's so good (ex. Birdemic)? This is literally one of those movies, except this one is high budget.
I am not a huge Batman fan (nor a fan at all), but I really felt as though this movie was just a slap in the face when comparing to the previous two Burton films. This movie was mocking itself.
Pixels (2015)
Pretty awful movie with pretty CGI
l came into watching this movie hearing from others that this was another bad Adam Sandler movie, others saying it was a great movie and thoroughly enjoyed it and that they grew up with video games seen in the movie. First off l would like to say that nostalgia ≠ good movie. And l must say, Adam Sandler was just being Adam Sandler, however he was not the only factor of the movie that made this absolutely awful, it was also the absolute crap writing, the stupid premises, the lazy sequences, just everything you could name in a bad movie, here it is. The only reason l am giving this film a 2 star, is because 1 star is the lowest you can go, and 1 extra star for the CGI. The CGI and compositing in this movie is spot on, and it looks great, that at least l can appreciate. The movie starts out to introduce the premise of the story and our protagonist, and than hard cuts you into the 'current time' where our world starts suddenly being attacked by various classic video games. Each of those video game sequences are done so well in CGI, but resolved so HORRIBLY lazy. lt's hard to explain, but basically l had to force myself to finish this film, l couldn't stand watching it and l wanted it to be over so badly, and even the end wasn't satisfying for the viewers. The credits were cute, but that still plays more on CG. Don't waste your time unless you want cheap (AND I MEAN EXTREMELY CHEAP) laughs and want to stare at some cool CGI.
Most of other people that will say this was a good movie, are blinded by nostalgia and CGI. What lies beneath is an extremely lazily written piece of garbage movie script that has wasted a genuinely good movie concept. (and no, the rating has nothing to do with Sandler, l came into watching this movie with low expectations)
