Movies/TV (Reviews)

Watching Revenge of the Sith right now. So far, seems sooooooo much better than Episode 1 or 2. We'll see.

I will say that, while both are corny as fuck, Ep 2 is definitely better than 1. Hayden is not good with his delivery (not all GL's fault, but still kinda.... Natalie sucked just as bad.... Kinda makes you wonder wtf) but he was not unwatchable in my opinion. Compare this to young Anakin and Jar Jar having me wanting to skip entire scenes.

Look at Ep 2. Jar Jar's disabled ass was somehow picked to be Padme's voice in the senate, and what does he do? Shit is hilarious...ly bad. Ep 1 and 2 are trash with scarce moments here and there.
 
Finally finished Revenge of the Sith.

I'm gonna be doing an overall ranking eventually, and I feel this one will be higher up on the list for me. This was a pretty damn good movie. Palpatine and Obi-Wan have been acted out well throughout, but even the subpar actors leveled up in this one; however, there were still cringy moments. Still, hands down, the best of this trilogy.
 
The Odyssey

Nolan is my favorite director. There's not a single movie of his that I haven't at least liked, if not loved. That said, this one is definitely not gonna be a favorite of mine, but I still liked it a lot. The extremes of both sides, the ones who call it a masterpiece and the ones who call it woke, DEI garbage, are so far off. My real complaint is the extreme volume levels of some of the scenes. I get why he did it, like with the Cyclops screaming inside the cave, it's supposed to be jarring to make you feel what they felt. But man, some of it was just a little bit much. And then with Matt Damon's performance, it was fine. But that's about it. Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and in most scenes even Tom Holland put in better performances than Matt did. But beyond those two big things, the rest of the movie was really good. Overall, I'm gonna go with 7.5/10

War Machine. Stars that enormous human from Reacher in a blatant Predator rip-off. A bunch of ranger candidates are in the wilderness doing ranger things, and alien craft lands nearby and starts fucking shit up. Sound familiar? Acting so bad I think we could have done better with 12 random Junkies. Writing and dialogue so bad it would make a soap opera writer wince. But, at the end of the day, a decently entertaining action romp. They did a pretty good job mixing it up on the alien, I was about to bail until I saw the nature of the alien and was a bit intrigued. Can't go so far as to recommend it, but didn't absolutely hate it. Netflix.

I loved it. Im not a Greek nerd at all, so I didn't bump into anything. I thought the casting was spot on. At first hearing about the dei stuff I was mad, but this show Nolan is a master at casting actors.
Elliot Page, scared naive little boy.
Lupita,, more of a trophy "look at what i have and tou don't " character. Perfect.
 
Stuart Fails to Save the Universe:

Got through the first episode. High bar from BBT had me having a hard time finding the "comedy" in the premier episode. Like, it was like everyone was acting and there wasn't any kinda natural vibe to it.

It's different and maybe will take a bit of getting used to before I can decide if it's good.

 
Obi-Wan Kenobi - 7.5/10

I don't understand all the hate on this series. Ya...there might be the cheesy, convenient writing that comes standard with a Star Wars affair, but this series was very watchable.

Most of the actors did a great job; lil Leia and Ewan killed it! I was perfectly happy while watching each episode.
