Eternals (2021)
Star-Studded Flop
I've really enjoyed the MCU. With this cast and the buildup I expected a good story and exciting characters, I got neither. The directing was atrocious with no subtlety in the camera angles. It was like a children's pageant- the actors took turns standing in the view of the camera and the background could have been a felt board. The characters were detached and unrelatable, the entire plot development relied on an uninteresting and long monologue by a motionless and flat psuedo-character that could have been played by pictures of a plastic action figure. There was no consistency in the action scenes and CGI and no explanation for any action by the characters other than undeveloped and invisible motivation. So, poor directing, poor movement, no character development, no relatability and a complete dump of a movie that I hope doesn't have a sequel.
The Nice Guys (2016)
Disappointing
I have liked both of the lead actors in other films, but this one was disappointing. Once again, a Hollywood movie where recreational drug use, drinking and the porn industry are displayed as less socially damaging than money, industry and car emissions.
Lots of action, some funny moments and lots of profanity and a number of scenes of topless female nudity. Just not worth the time.
One day I hope that Hollywood will take inventory on the number of dead celebrities related to drugs and alcohol and the amount of sex crimes related to pornographic addictions and come up with a new plot line.
Chrome Angels (2009)
Not Worth The Time
Not happy with this one. It is one of very few movies that I have ever just quit watching and not felt like I missed anything, even with half of the movie remaining. The shame is that I've actually liked Dash in other movies that I've seen her in.
The image quality was surprisingly high, but the plot and dialog were lacking. I felt no interest in the welfare of the characters while the dialog and plot were cliché-filled and the accents were completely off. I struggled to actually watch the half of the movie that I did watch. Even though I hate to be this down on things, I just felt the other review was misleading enough that there needed to be some balance.
To sum it up, it's just not worth the time.
