The Duchess (2020)
Irritating
I like Katherine as comedian and I thought this would have been clever and funny. It isn't! The leading character is supposed to be a strong woman but she appears volatile, silly, totally unpredictable and hysterical at times. This is not a strong female character should look like.
Dune (2021)
Why so many good reviews?
I did not read the book so I have no comparison, but this film is boring and pointless. With such a good cast I would have expected more.
No explanation is given about anything. The charcters don't seem to have any motivation for what they do or any background or ambition, therefore it is really difficult to understand them, to sympathize with them and get attached. Nothing happens in over 2 and half hours: I do understand that this only part 1 and you want to leave the main action for part 2 but you need to give the audiance something to look forward to. Instead, when I got to the end I did not wonder what happens next, I wasn't left with the feeling that I need to see what happens next. I was just glad it was over after such a long time.
Red Notice (2021)
Total waste of time
I felt I was falling asleep half way through the film and I did not try to stay awake. This was incredibly boring! Reynolds and the Rock are good but I really hated Godot' s character and her acting in this film was absolutely dreadful. We have seen all this before, in all the films the two male characters were in. Can writers/producers/directors think or produce something new?
Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (2021)
Disappointed
Considering the good actors in the film you would expect something better. But despite some funny moments and good action sequence the overall film is a bit slow and predicable.
Settlers (2021)
No story but that' s the point
There is no actual story in this film. But I think it has to be watched as an example of human behaviour. The film shows how normal people would act, think and behave in extreme situations. The plot is not exciting but I think the film has potential and raises some important questions and make reflect on human condition.
Loki (2021)
Nice surprise
I found the first two episodes a bit boring but then it changed completely. The introduction of Sylvie in the series changed the series and made it funny, interesting, sweet and new. I am really looking forward to season 2.
Reminiscence (2021)
Boring
A bit boring and predictable. The ending doesn't make any sense at all!
Kate (2021)
Generally ok
It is a good action film and acting is good. I just don't think that the bonding between the assasin and the kid is credible. The development of their relationship feels forced and not genuine at all. I needed more work and the kid's character is a bit annoying.
Cruella (2021)
Pointless
I don't understand the reason for this film. In the original film the character of Cruella was just evil: she wanted to skin innocent puppies to make a coat. There is absolutely nothing you can say about her past to justify her desire to kill animals. Why are they even trying to make her look like a hero? Also there is no story and dialogues are terrible.
Shadow and Bone (2021)
A show for young viewers, not for adults
The plot is very predictable and the dialogues are flat. The story is not original or exciting: I kept thinking 'I saw that hundreds of times'. The characters have no motivation or drivers and their backgorund is not explained. Acting is also poor but maybe be this is because the dialogues are bad. The main character, Alina, does not transmit any feeling or emotion and she is just annoying. I think this could only be entertaining for young teenagers fascinated by 'love triangles' and romance but I believe that most adults would look for a bit more in a show, even if it is a fantasy show.
The Mandalorian (2019)
A great show
I was skeptical at first because I did not particularly like the latest Star Wars films but I was pleasantly surprlised. This shows is very good. The characters are great, there is lots of action and Baby Yoda is simply the most adorable character I have seen in a while. I also think that this series is more in line with the original Star Wars films. Now I cannot wait for Season 3.
The Watch (2020)
Not exactly Terry Pratchett's The Watch but still worth watching
This is not Terry Pratchett's The Watch, I think we all know that. To be fair, the creators have been clear since the beginning that this series is only 'inspired' by the books.
Once you accept this fact and you start watching the series without comparing it to the books you can actually enjoy it.
It is quite funny and some moments are just hilarious. The characters have their own background and motivations and they develop and grow over the series. I thought the actors were also very good. I really liked it and I would watch another season.
