Watchmen: She Was Killed by Space Junk (2019)
Watchmen episode 3
Excellent episode! Killer sound track. People, (dare I say guys) this ain't the comics. Even if it was the very same people (mostly guys) would still be complaining. Simple, if you don't like something don't watch it, especially just to come here to bitxh about it. Your precious comics will always be there for you. And, on sunday night you could always watch Batwoman instead. For me this series is getting better & I have a little faith that HBO just didn't drop the ball on this. Will we ever get to see the blue guy, thats my question.
My rating for episode 3, 8.5
The Walking Dead: We Are the End of the World (2019)
Alpha & Beta
Boring episode just didn't work for me. A background story about 2 unlikeable characters that are hard to relate too.
But they did save money on this episode, on how the 2 sick puppies met. I hope the pace of the show just moves on,
another dragged out season & that will be it for me. A 8 rating ??? Maybe theres need & a niche to tell the stories
about deeply disturbed psychotic people. They still didn't even show Beta's face, saving it for rainy day? Hearsay,
supposedly he can be recognized because he was a musician. In Fear the Walking Dead when Daniel threw albums
on the ground (because of walkers) Beta's face was on one of the album covers. Now days it seems Beta's singin a different
"looney" tune .
Titans: Deathstroke (2019)
Good episode, but...
I like this show but have to agree to agree with the person who penned "Cliffhangers" here . I hope that show doesn't fall into the clffhanger/soap opera trap. I just gave a scathing review to a another shows season ending cheap asx cliffhanger bullshxt. Of couse that show was on a downhill slide anyway.
If it takes a season to tell a good story one doesn't have to resort to clffhangers to grab people's attention!!l
So, the more cliffhanger endings, the worst this show will get for me. Not a fan at all, of endings like this!!!
Be it single episodes or the worst mistake of a season finale cliffhanger.
Also I wasn't a fan of how this season started!!! Thought it was lame, poor judgement call, thats what happens when people think too much. Season 2 episode 1 was supposed to be the season 1 finale, but then someone (thinking too much, or high on drugs) came up with their version of a bright idea. Yeah, that worked real well.
Back to ep 5, I don't think the smart mouthed kid's time is up yet.
Fear the Walking Dead: End of the Line (2019)
Cheap shot
Your the show runner & have doubts about the season's performance. You go for the cheap soap opera cliff hanger trick hoping you'll be able to hang on viewers. The carny ride is over for now folks. Just another wonderful season of Fear the Walking Dead soap opera. Oh, oh & finally something happened, really? Nothing but a cheap trick, but fitting for low ball season. I wouldn't set the bar to high for next season.
Fear the Walking Dead (2015)
In need of a "care box" of scripts...
Season 5:
Why the 1st episode of season 5 received high reviews seems not to matter anymore. It's been on a downhill slide ever since. Even if the season finale is good the in-between episodes have been so bad that there's no saving this season's plunge into the abyss. Best if this season would of been kept to 8 or under episodes then to have this type of inept writting.
Old, no longer can people/viewers blame the actors/characters of Kim/Madison & Frank/Nick as being the downfall of this show! New, Lennie/Morgan the less said by his character the better it was. Nor is the Morgan character a show leader either, just not his style. No actor can really make up for poor scripts & show oversight problems very apparent in this season. This show's direction (up hill & down hill) firmly rests on the shoulders of those at the top, as it always did.
Every week I hoped this show will pick itself back up, dust itself off & there'll be a good episode. Well, that's not happening! Who in there right mind thought these scripts for this season's episodes were worthy of even being televised? These scripts should of been crumpled up & thrown in the trash can.
This show has put itself on a level with Pandora & The Outpost. The Outpost being a better show right now.
FTWD has turned into just plain god awful & again is now standing on the edge of a cliff.
Somebody please just give it a push. Mercy.
Captain Marvel (2019)
Captain Marvel(less) = MCPeeU
Stinker, Superhero joke of a movie? This is what happens when the excecutives at movie giant Marvel/Disney get swollen heads. They just don't think straight. OK Lucy,(Kevin Feige) you got some splainn to do. Just when you think Marvel movies can do no wrong, well here you go. Lets make a "PC" correct movie with a female lead who's acting is as stiff as a board, with her character being invincible & indestructible. (Sounds like my wife). Anyway this "Captain Marveless" ain't no "Wonder Woman". Not even close. They more than missed the mark on this one, it's a so-called hit to left field. Movie fits into the category, "What Were They Thinking". Lets make a charactor thats over-powered, can't be hurt, can't die & has the personality of burnt toast. MCU's worst movie, well this one might take that award.
I'm not going to get into all the things wrong with this movie (list is too big). But all one has to do is start reading the numerous reviews here to get that idea of what NOT to do to when making a block buster movie. Lets hope they didn't decide to have stiff as a brick Brie Larson/Captain Marveless, as a main character in the up coming Avengers: Endgame. Even more importantly be the one thats the savior in that movie. Please, pleeeease don't ruin 2 MCU movies in a row ! Seriously re-thinking the concept of Disney's purchase of Marvel & Lucus Films is turning into a PG-13 sappy-joke of crappy movies. Bigger is NOT always better! Oh, the easily pleased people giving an 8/9 or 10 reviews, unbelievable &/or fake reviews. Your support of these poorly made movies will ONLY convince movie companys to make more & more of them! They'll keep lowering the bar because their still making money on them at the box office. Supporting these will only hurt yourselves in the long run because less quality films will be made & released.
Now for the feminist, no problem here with a female lead just Brie Larson/AKA Captain Marvel(less), she wasn't a good choice. She would of made a better villan, you know someone that you'd enjoy seeing tortured & killed off. Captain Marvel, well the character used to be a male & has been re-tooled more times than you can shake a stick at. This current re-tooling, well thats a problem too. It's going against all known laws of physical nature. Everything has limits! The public acceptance of this fictional character in a movie is different than in a comic book. So, I feel Captain Marvel was/is a poor choice for a block buster movie, no matter if it's portrayed by a female or a male. It also seems MCU writers, the director, actors & just about everyone else involved in this project just didn't get it right.
So I'm thinkin, DC Universe now would be a good time to step up to the plate. I'm seriously having doubts about Avengers: Endgame, especially if Brie Larson ruins that movie too. Not a DC hater not a DC lover, I just watch movies. Was more of a MCU fan. But Wonder Woman sure beat the hell out of this.
There are a lot of complaints about this movie for GOOD REASONS! Last year's Black Panther & Infinity Wars were tremendous movies. MCU raised the expectation bar for movie releases. The paying public is expecting more because of this raised bar. So was that the peak success of the MCU? I'll know of an answer to this by the release of their next movie. I don't like comparing this franchise to the Transformer franchise, but maybe it's time to. Superhero movies might of reached their peak.
All it will take is a couple of clunkers in a row to make me a believer.
The Gifted: oMens (2019)
Excellent Season Finale
The season started out with a whimper but ended with a bang. It began with a little too much soap opera drama for my taste but picked up the pace towards the end of the season. This show deserves a 3rd season for it's one of Fox's better shows even though it's ratings weren't at the top. Streamg-line the show back to a 13 episide season. Show their stugg
Manifest (2018)
Sinking Ship - Falling Plane
This is a show that best served in 10 episodes or less. For it has NO where the the writers & actors that say Lost or any other good shows have had for their success . It started with maybe a syfy twist that quickly vanished into soap. Well I be amazed if it makes it passed another season. Timeless was canned this show lives on? It doesn't deserve too. Hard to believe anybody still likes this shows progress & development into a complete plane crash.
The Innocents (2018)
Snooze fest-6 was being kind
Watched it because Guy R. was in it. Fell asleep watching every episode, then re-watched them thinking I missed something, I missed nothing. Show needs something in every category, slow paced, not to much action,. not thrilling, story boring etc... Just not my cup of tea. Netflix, please come up with better shows, I know you can.
