The Last of Us: Left Behind (2023)
Good but not entirely necessary
The episode explores the game's DLC of the same title. While important to tell this story, a 10-15 min flashbacks within the main story would have been enough. Dedicating 2 out of 9 full episodes for character development, makes the main story feel rushed and incomplete. A good example would be ep 6 ending. The game explores a search for fireflies at the university for many hours, looking for clues, while the show dedicates 5 minutes of Joel and Ellie finding a packing list that was left behind by Fireflies but we get a full episode for 2 teens playing games in the mall... Only 2 episodes left people, what were you thinking?!
Nevertheless, I enjoyed it - 7/10.
The Last of Us: Part II (2020)
a flawed masterpice
Don't get discouraged by leaks and spoilers like I did. Give this game a go. Don't listen to cry babies who complain about Joel's tragic end. Not everything in the world has to happen just like they want it and this game is no exception.
This game is a true masterpiece and a worthy sequel to its predecessor. The storyline makes a lot of sense if you take into account that there are 2 sides to every story.
I deducted 1 point for the ending which felt slightly out of place and awkward.
The Blacklist (2013)
the best part of season 8 is..(spoilers)
..the absence of agent Keen from a few episodes.
Sure, her name is still all over this season but I'm glad we got a break from that silly character and the atrocious acting.
The 100 (2014)
Love it!
I don't know how many times I skipped "The 100" on Netflix when browsing titles to add to my watch list. Possibly hundreds of times. Finally, I gave it a go and got instantly addicted. Binge watched 6 seasons in 2 weeks and I crave for more. Season 6 "lost its way" for me a little (I thought it was too far fetched even for a sci fi) but it's all coming back together in season 7. So far so good. I just don't want this to end.
Homeland: Prisoners of War (2020)
Good but flawed, unrealistic ending.
I might be in the minority here, but I was disappointed with the ending. It wasn't the worst ending but it wasn't good either. Espionage saga must be made at least remotely realistic to be watchable.
The problems I have with the ending are as follows:
1. Russians depicted as almost cartoonist villains. The dialog, the motives are cheap and unbelievable. Just look at the scene where Anna walks in on the GRU director in his UN office (with the flight recorder on his desk) to let him know that Pakistanis are not backing out. The scene is followed by a cheap linear dialog along the lines of "we will finally rule the world muahahaha". Really? So, we are to believe that a nuclear holocaust in the vicinity of Russia border is a Russia's wet dream? If it were so, the Russians would provoke such an action without stealing the flight recorder.
2. I don't believe that Carrie had no other options. How about that media briefing that Saul intended? This carried a much better chance of success by creating enough noise to pressure Russia into giving up the flight recorder. Certainly better than a ludicrous plot to have Saul killed or threatened into giving up his lifelong asset.
3. We are led to believe that the US would threaten a military action on a nuclear armed nation for (at best) a dubious reason. A nationa that that clearly indicates that will defend itself with all they got. Even with a moron in the Whitehouse?
4. Russian plot to have Carrie kill one of the most senior US officials on US soil is laughable. Just like the fact that Carrie went for it (even with her taking the plan B). Repercussions of such action would be catastrophic to say the least, for both Russia and the United States.
5. Carrie becoming a new Russian asset for Saul. Yes, that is completely plausible that Yevgeny will let an ex-CIA spy (clearly a patriot after what she had to sacrifice for her country) anywhere near even third-class information that might be of any use to US.
6. Anna being hunted down in a UN building by GRU agents. Enough said.
Not great.
Game of Thrones: The Bells (2019)
Senseless
Cersei deserved a better death.
Jon Snow desrved to do more than just run around like headless chicken. If one dragon can so easily destroy the whole city including Iron fleet, then what the heck was all that about in previous episodes.
Character development destroyed in dragon fire.
The list goes on and on. I still enjoy the show, but this is no GoT.
Game of Thrones: The Last of the Starks (2019)
Honestly people should quit whining
Just enjoy the show. Not everything will go the way you want it to go.
Should Daenerys have spotted the Iron Fleet from the skies? Yes. Was the giant crossbow ridiculously accurate to take down the first dragon scoring 3/3 and then it was like 0/30? Yes. But this show is not a guide for reconnaissance missions and ballistics. Yes, Dany could have flown around the ships and burn the hell out of them from behind, but perhaps she was distressed and angry in the heat of the moment and didn't think straight? Is that a possibility? Sure. But yes, you're right, this is not how the real world works...The one with dragons and undead army of white walkers, so everything has to be 100% scientifically accurate. Let's revisit all the other episodes from season 1 to date to pinpoint where else the laws of physics were deceived.
This wasn't a perfect episode but it was meant to be entertaining. It delivered that.
Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)
one word-"biased"
I don't understand how anyone can take this movie seriously. I felt that this film consists of biased, moneymaking aspects to merely attract audience by showing false controversial facts. I am not an American, but I feel that when you have directors like this one in your country you don't even need any enemies. Judging by the ratings this movie has received I am amazed, once again, how good a "controversy" sells. Truthful or not? Doesn't really matter. It has become fashionable in the West to bash our governments,their views and political beliefs. Agreeing with the West is extremely unpopular. It would be boring.
The sad part of it is that our adversaries are laughing at us.Well done Moore! Your project worked! You have made a step up in your ratings.. I suggest you do some research on each "fact" presented by Michael Moore in this film and you would be surprised. I would give this movie a "0" if I could. 1 from me.
