Im Westen nichts Neues (2022)
Bloody trench warfare
I'm glad this film has been made there have been so many world war 1 films made in the past and I always thought 1917 was the best till this film came out and oh wow!
For starters i absolutely love the fact it's filmed from the German perspective being English you would always look at them as being the enemy of this war but this film just makes you look at it the other way they were still normal people fighting a war they never wanted to fight and loosing everything in the process
This films touches on everything and anything that trench warfare was during this horrific war. From the brutal kill or be killed hand to hand fights, from seeing a tank for the first time and not knowing what to do. The effects to that it had one the people fighting this war and the ones that think there life isn't no longer worth living.
I couldn't keep my eyes of this film it fixated me from the beginning. If I'm ever to show or talk to anyone about this terrible war now I will always say watch this film as it just opens your eyes up to the horror of what was world war 1.
I'd like to say congratulations to the film crew/directors/ actors for performing/making this film with such good execution. And the best touch of finesse for me was at the very end when the credits roll no music what so ever just to show that what you watched really happened make you sit there and think of how lucky you are, also the respect i think it shows by not having any credits music. Really sets the effect in more to the audience watching.
Hawaii Five-0: Poniu I Ke Aloha (2017)
Light hearted fun
I really love this episode really puts smile to my face. Don't get me wrong the whole crime side of it didn't but Steve and Danny really steel the show for me here. When ever they were on screen together I couldn't help but laugh the characters they have created really shine here and just can't help but love there friendship.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part III (2022)
Still good just a bit disappointed
The story isn't too bad but I'm confused to know we're it's going started off strong but just got more and downgraded as the episode went along like Come on kenobi you were one of the best sword user in Jedi temple at one point and you come to this. I can only pray he gets his edge back more the story goes on but if that was the ultimate rematch they kept going on about then WOW what a waste of time!! So I got my fingers crossed it ain't. I still got faith it will get better.
The Last Duel (2021)
Very good film just misses the bar of amazing
Il only write a short review to the best I can. I'm going to start by saying the acting in this film is top notch all the performances are superb and I can't fault either of there performances. The lay out of the film is good to but I will divide by saying it does feel slightly repetitive at times but I guess it's done to tell the story and you notice changes each time and then changes your opinion of that so said character each time which is well just good story writing. I recommend anyone to watch this film if they don't mind the topics of it and you will be on the edge of your seat for the main event it's so well filmed and shot fair play to the film crew. I've tried to keep it short as don't want to ruin it for other viewers, but if you like Ridley Scott's other historical era films this is another one I highly recommend to watch.
No Time to Die (2021)
Film was amazing till it got to its ending
Daniel Craig's final bond film was something of desired taste. It had everything in it from fist fight, gun fight to car chase and the first 30 mins of the film before the titles rolled were fantastic!! Honestly this film isn't a bad film story is very good and the biological weapon used in the film is something different too which is a nice change of pace for the film franchise. My only and worse criticism is that you don't kill of James Bond that's the whole point of the film and I get what they have tried to do they've tried to move away from it being bond and making to be just 007 so gives them the go ahead to print money and but anyone they want in the shoes of the role "007" which I think isn't right it's not 007 with James Bond. End of story it just won't work. Or if they have to start again and they use someone new as bond the. What a waste of time killing him off.
Sex Education: Episode 5 (2021)
Finally!!!
We finally got the moment we had all been waiting for and it was so well delivered. The acting in this episode was superb and the pace was brilliant it had a bit of everything in this one. Romance, comedy (which by the way had me in absolute stitches), drama, revelations and tension was fantastic through and through. If I could i would give it a much higher rating.
Schindler's List (1993)
More than just a film.
All I can say about this film is it needs to be seen by all. This film should be made as history lesson to schools everywhere to say and show how we can never let this happen in mankind ever again.
This film is so well acted and just draws you in slowly and slowly till its got you in a vice grip and you can't stop watching and can't believe what you are seeing and believing. I've seen this film over 5 times now and still one of my favourites as it makes you feel so grateful for the life we live today.
I honestly struggle not weep everytime at the end of this film when you see Oskar break down at the end thinking to himself to save more and how he could of done it. A man that always but on a brave face shows what he feels he failed but didn't. A man that only could do with the time and money he had. And for liam Neeson at the end paying respect to him at his grave bought a tear to my eye just such a respectful farewell.
This film will be remembered for years and years to come as it is a masterpiece in its own creation and sends such a powerful message to the world.
Rogue One (2016)
Disney need to make more like this!
I love this film its amazing how it fills such a small gap before the start of the original trilogy with such finesse and plenty of easter eggs/references true fans can point out at. The surprise of the return of certain characters is also a delight to see. This film is just so well written and I think Disney can learn another from it in way not everything needs to be so family friendly sometime you just need to give the fans what they want. The action is also superb in this film the battle scenes just pump the adrenaline up from what rubbish Disney have put in the new trilogy I can't understand how they went from this to that. I give this film a well deserved 10 as I loved every second of it and its just worth it for the final 5 minutes that is something fans have wanted for a very very long time and yes the hype is real. I know my review probably isn't the best but please just watch this film it won't disappoint if your a true fan!
The Boys: What I Know (2020)
Perfect ending to a perfect series
This episode was fantastic it had everything you needed in it from drama to but of comedy to what you think is a happy ending (for now) I can't wait to see what happens next season gutted this series has ended this is the BEST!! thing on TV to watch right now! 10 out of 10 for the whole series and it can only get better.
Doctor Who: The Girl in the Fireplace (2006)
Beautiful episode
I've only just started working my way through doctor who and this episode really had left a mark on me. At first it was so interesting to know what was going on and then It became more than that the ending is truly wonderful screen writing I will always remember this episode and will always come back and revist it also.
The Last of Us: Part II (2020)
Good game just not perfection
Finally completed the last of us part 2 and well it was a good ride I enjoyed all the set pieces and compared to the first this one was scary I jumped out of my seat ALOT! il have to give it to naughty dog for the graphics of this game as it's just BEAUTIFUL! my only flaws I had were you repeat alot of things in this game especially when fighting people the infected on the other hand really keep you alert. Now to the story I dont know I liked it at same time i didnt. I just think it was abby's story was too long for what it was I think the game should of concentrated purely on ellie but it made for some good set peices still. I'll definitely be playing this again as the gameplay is still good and I recommend it to anyone who wants a lengthy and graphically compelling story
The Last Kingdom: Episode #4.10 (2020)
I Love the series
Theres some so captivating about this programme I cant help but keep watching and now I've got the end I cant wait for the next series. I love how it keeps to history with giving it a slight drama edge to it all. I cant wait to see where the characters go next season and how the have changed. To me this series has been another 10 out of 10!
Extraction (2020)
Gory, stylish, brilliant action! Just watch it!
Let me begin my review by saying THIS FILM ISNT ABOUT BANGLADESH!! this film is set there not trying to show it as being horrible place it was just a different setting. Dont let those reviews turn you away!
Now this film had its pros and cons the cons il say is that the story isnt too strong but easy to stay with. Now the pros the action and wow oh wow I want to see chris do films more like this. It was shot wonderfully I couldn't keep my eyes of the screen it was like watching a amped up Jason bourne. Used everything at his disposal and its shot in a similar 1917 style one shot during certain action scenes which really set the bar and the gore left me watching the screen cringing as made me feel there pain.
This film would of been a 10 if the story was better but for an easy Friday night action film it's a treat. Also stop listening to reviews about the setting it's an action film not a documentary!
Strike Back: Vendetta: Part 6 (2020)
Wow!!
Words cant explain this episode you just have to watch it I was left speechless and never thought it would end the way it did very good writing and the acting was superb!! All I'd say in my only criticism I had for this episode it should of just ended with no next time and no music just pure silence this would of set the effect in a hell of a lot more
Strike Back: Vendetta: Part 5 (2020)
Now this is how you write a strike back episode!!!
This episode was amazing all the way through I kept me on the edge of my seat. I've watched strike back from the very beginning since it came out in 2010 and this is the very best episode they ever made it had everything from action to humor and top it off the ending which has just left me shouting at my tv. I dont think I got the patience to wait another week for the next episode.
1917 (2019)
Feel lucky for the life you live!
Lest we forget those that have fallen! I cant describe in words how compelling this film is. This is a film you watch and take in the devastating trauma these people lived. The cinematography of this film is the best I've ever seen! This is film that will be remembered forever in history and will always be the best we can get to reliving these horrific moments these people experienced in history most devastating war. Watch this film!!! You will sit there in silent as I did as the credits went on.
Hawaii Five-0: Ka 'i'o (2019)
Much needed episode
This episode was needed as it need to Tie up the loose end with his mother. The action is the winner here was very well shot and the action was better than most episodes. It gave me black hawk down chills at the end though playing the music from the end of the film in the best way it could made hairs stand up on end. And just loved how danny was there for him in the end and that good old danno and mcgarret love we fans all love to lighten the mood.
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016)
What's the world coming too!
I love films like this that open your eyes to these types of conflicts and my lord the fire power and gun fights a unreal and so well shot. From the first fire fight to the next you can just feel the action and tension of not knowing who is your enemy. This is bays best film by a long shot!! And any way of topic and not to be disrespectful to those that died but I'd love to those actors filming this film playing with all that fire power was probably so much fun to get stuck in with all the rifles and explosions!
Aladdin (2019)
Still got that magic
It was good I know I'm late to the party to post a review but I liked it. It's great film for the family or just anyone that wants to watch something with a happy ending. I must admit I never saw the orginal Aladdin so been nice to go in not knowing completely what happens. I think the casting of will Smith was the best part about this film he made the role his own and makes it shine and it's all the little things to like the fly carpet is just smile maker whenever it did something quirky it made me smile and chuckle. My only negative thing I had to say about this film is the singing. I just found the actor to play Aladdin just didnt have that stand out voice in my opinion but jasmine my god what a voice!! Any who watch this film if your in a I want feel good film mood because that's this film.
Sex Education: Episode 8 (2020)
Too much hate for no reason
This episode I thought was a good send off for season 2. It has a bit of e everything in it and I certainly reckon it's done a good job of addressing certain topics throughout. But this episode I have to say is getting too much hate
Yes the play was weird but the show is ment to be quirky and the ending well I just want to see what happens. All the people saying he will just talk to her how will he meeve doesnt trust Otis anymore and she is vulnerable right now. I cant wait for season 3 best show around at the moment in my opinion.
The Witcher: Four Marks (2019)
Toss a coin to your witcher!! Oh vally of plenty
Il just leave this headline here. All that is needed.
The Gentlemen (2019)
Guy Ritchie knows his roots
Fantastic return to the good old english gangster films just like he knows. This film I did find was a slow burner to begin with but once the fire is lit it's hard to stop watching. Colin Farrell in this is his best in a very long time when he was ever on the screen i couldn't help but smile. If you love guy ritches older gangster films this ones for you but be warned it takes a little while to get going so stay with it please the reviews are good for a reason!!
Hawaii Five-0 (2010)
Just love to watch these characters on my screen
I love everything about this show the characters make me laugh and smile and in other times make feel sad and upset to see the things they go through but the show really shines in there family kind of moments it's very heart warming. The crimes and action on the other hand can always vary I like the action scenes they have definitely got better over time. I just find though I can sit back with this show and just escape reality in a way it's such an easy smooth ride and more I watch it the more I was I was part of these characters lives.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (2016)
How is this a game and not a blockbuster film!!
Il just start by saying yes I'm late to review this BUT being a all time uncharted fan from day of release I've just played them all through again and my god this game makes my hairs stand up its bloody brilliant sometimes playing this game i get so captivated by it especially in the cut scenes its phenomenal. I just have to say Neil druckman who wrote and directed this and other great naughty dog games how are you not a oscar director!!!
The acting from all the cast especially nolan north I say fair play to you as you stepped up your game BIG time for this performance it's out standing. This game has everything you want amazing graphics, gameplay, characters, story, setting, villain and the music score in this game it just sets the mood so fantastically I cant praise this game enough especially the ending what a great way to end an amazing journey. If you own a ps4 BUY THIS GAME!!!!
The Witcher: Much More (2019)
Bring on season 2
I loved ever episode of this adaptation of the witcher from some who's read the books and played the games its had me hooked. I cant wait to see where they take it next shame its going to be a long wait but I hope they keep true to how this series was
