The first "action sequence", two lancrusers are pursued by a pick-up truck with a machine gun.

This scene shows that the director has no idea how to stage action. The sequence has nothing. Then a completely uninspiring sex scene that contributes absolutely nothing to the story. (And I like a good sex scene. ) At this point I ask myself. A woman in "Wages of Fear". Okay, we're in the woke age, maybe it has to be. I'm almost gone after 4:26 minutes. (!)

You have to come up with the crazy and stupid idea of remaking one of the greatest classics in film history. Hello Netfelix? Do you fancy a remake of "Casablanca"?

After 6 minutes we are now in a flashback and it is clear that we have landed in a French-Arabic migrant milieu film.

Everything is full of stereotypical little gangster types, or something like that. I turn it off.

... uninspired film?

You're way better of watching Star Wars one more time, as it basically is the same story. With a lot better characters. I wonder who at Netflix says, "hey guys, we just had a look at the screenplay and it basically sucks, but who cares. How much money do you need"?

There's a lot of VO explaining in the first 45 minutes. Everybody has a back story to tell. The 20 minute set up is "The Magnificent Seven" or " The Seven Samurai" either way.

And all in glorious Synder slow motion. Especially the "action" set pieces. ( I mean at normal speed the movie would easily be 15 minutes less in running time) At Minute 44 they (like the heroes) actually walk into a bar and you can't shake off another Star Wars vibe. Some dude named Kai shows up who's Han Solo with a nice and fast space ship.

Seriously, aren't the writes embarrassed not coming up with an original line of thought? Up to minute 55 it's all Star Wars. Wait, maybe this is done intentially? Well, then some characters, (C-3PO, hint) could have explained that intention in a lengthy voice over.

I just stopped watching after an hour, wishing I could sell Netflix an array of stolen classic movie ideas.

Where to begin? Is it Michelle Keegan's annoying Manchester accent or her lack of acting skills? May ist just she doesn't fit the part. So the show makes believe she's an ex-army hotshot special whatever. Yeah, right. Her first fight scene is beyond ridicules.

There is really no realism in this show.

Dramaturgically, the series stretches like chewing gum. As usual, Harlan begins with a sensational twist. After Maya Stern's husband (Richard Armitage) is shot dead by some gang, he turns up a few months later on his widow's nanny cam. However, what happens after that is so incredibly far-fetched. The whole pace of this series is tedious. Everything drags on. A really lousy score wallows over it. The permanent soundtrack is supposed to create tension, but it doesn't. I gave up after three episodes, really annoyed. What a pity.

It's a pity that a few intelligent people ruined the last Indi movie so much. Is no one really paying attention? George Lucas, where have you been? Don't you have anything to say anymore? Obviously not.

Spoiler allert: Worst of all is the Helena character. The woman is just batshit crazy. Has no manners. Treats her Godfather (Indiana) like the last idiot. Then: nobody believes that the woman travels to N. Y. and steals half the disc only to sell it again in Morocco (?) For gambing debts??? What was that about? From then on, the woman is a nightmare in every scene she is in. Her character is just a horrible woman. Zero humor. In every other the movie all the other women were top of their game. Not here.

Then this totally superfluous Teddy. Horrible the child, which is simply supposed to be a copy of short round. Why did he actually steal from another young person at the market? Why was there this scene? Completely stupid are the 100 km / h fast TukTuks? Stupid. Why Antonio Banderas played the captain in the first place? He probably just wanted to be there. Anyway.

The movie is just boring and again - what were the stupid writers thinking to make Indian Jones look so weak? Harrison, okay at your age and for that much money, then you can do something like that. Nobody wants to see Indiana like in this movie. Maybe someone will just fire Kathleen Kennedy, she is the main person responsible for this stupid, stupid movie.

Serves Disney right for losing hundreds of millions of dollars.

Worst writing ever!!!!!!!!!

So let get me get this straight: Ethan Hunt is in the same room with Grace. Right? Benji makes her the super mask. It's her goal now to get on the train and impersonate the white widow, right?

Next scene Grace is in the mask on the Orient Express. But where is Tom, sorry, Ethan? He's on a bloody motorbike because, why?

Oh yeah, for the stunt. Why didn't he board the train with Grace??

I could continue listing the entire overly written script and still don't get it, why this movie had to be almost 3 hours long.

Probably because of all the talking about the damn key... Sorry, this MI is a joke. Unfortunately.

It's a Friday night and I am really, really looking forward seeing this 200 Mio $ Netflix film. Well, 23 Minutes into it and I hate it, or have to ask myself, what am I watching here? So far non of the characters bring anything on the table that pushes the storyline (what story). Movie jumps from all kind of locations like Monaco, Baku, Chiang Mai for what...? Oh, yeah watching Interieurs. The CGI and the action on and off the plane really makes you love the "Mission Impossible" flics even more. Ryan Gosling does what he does in every other movie the man is ever in, he acts a big nothing. I am giving up reviewing this film at min 38. Thank you and good night.

I like a good adventure, give me "Indiana Jones" any day, so I was excited about "Blood & Treasure" Well... First five minutes (!) in, its terrible. A search troop opens some "secret" door of a pyramid with a crowbar... some insane shooting follows and then it gets worse. But no spoilers.... The two main characters behave a bit like taken out of "Archer". He needs her, she hates him, but of course the two are made for each other, through some past issues, which we see in flashbacks. Loads of flashbacks by the way. So many flashbacks jumping from country to years. A clear narrative would have been nice.

Stereotype characters at every corner. He's a stolen art hunter of some sort and works for the FBI and she's a master thief. The black market sequence is a joke in itself. Seriously writers?

On the upside: the camera tries to give a "feature film" tone and feel. Locations, lots of them, and production value. If you have the budget, why not spend it on a decent script? WHY?
