One of the worst Gundam shows
3 July 2023
It started good and cool then it flatlined boring. That's how I describe the experience watching it.

The series started quite good then the rest of the episoded just warped into the black hole, well not entirely as it some moments it jumps up on the last episode or two moments then dives again. The show is flague with pacing on how to balance action, story and character development. I wanted to like it but it's just to dragged out on kiddy issues. I guess this show is mainly for kids under 10.

If you are planning to watch it do not expect much as ain't gonna be like Gundam Seed. Lower your expection and you might just like it.

Fast X (2023)
5/10
It's going down low this time.
12 June 2023
I was expecting this to be great movie like the last. But to my surprised this is like going down hill already and too fast down. The plot is overly saturated with "FAMILY" thingy. It's becoming too much to be an excuse. Okay fine, family it is again. But still, even the action sequences is way too underwhelming and unimpressive compared to the previous ones. It's like watching a limited budget action movie. Even that rolling bomb in Rome seems low for the Fast franchise but that's the only main highlight of Fast X. It's good enough but too simple. And the rest of the action sequences is meh I'm not impressed at all even that last scene on dam seem like low ordinary explosion. Fast X seems to be back to Fast 5 again. Worst they decided to make it a two part movie as if this one isn't so low already. I'm not expecting the part 2 to be any better at all but I hope they can turn things around on part 2 before they ruin their franchise on the finale.

Black Site (I) (2022)

5 For The Sake of their Star Cast
4 June 2023
It had potential but they ran short on their budget. Their budget went 70% on paying their star cast and run a very limited budget on the movie production and the rest.

The plot kind bs non-sense thou it would have been okayish if at least made it a very good compelling action on it but I guess they ran dry on the budget on the area too. So they decided to tell their cast just do your most affordable thing you can make and just act like you do so in one take 'til we get this done.

It's very dull action movie despite the well known cast. Well at least they got the pay they deserve knowing they're on this film but at the cost of their viewers disappointment.

It's a masterpiece movie but it has almost no soul at all
9 May 2023
Considering how much I liked the first one, this is one just felt almost has no soul at all. It has a greatest movie idea ever. It's grandeur, story and effects so mind blowing but watching it feels like it has no soul all. It's also so darn boring listening and watching to all the drama and story it tries to convey. So darn opposite of the first one. As if they left that 90 % part to the audience to imagine the feeling we should have than relying on the movie itself to touch our emotions. This one will certainly make you fall asleep if you're not paying attention to what you're watching. This movie is really good at one thing though, exaggerating the idea and effects to no bounds since it's just a fictional sci-fi movie bs. Nonetheless, it's a good movie for the night with a popcorn.

It's for you and not for you!
9 April 2023
The plot was surely interesting. Greek gods and powers, like wow this will be awesome. Mixed it with some cringy adult kids formula and it turned sour immediately. Nonetheless, it's good enough if you have nothing else better watch and you just want some time to pass by. As an adult who had fun watching other DC films this one just doesn't make any sense to me, even the first one. The Shazam on animated films I've watched are somehow more interesting and fun to watch. This one man is just pure slap in the face and too cringy to watch but I had to watch for 2hrs for the sake being DC. The after credits scene says it all why this is so disappointing. If you're not a kid this one will utterly disappoint you to the core. Otherwise you'll enjoy this to your hearts content if you're a kid or playing kid at heart with your kids and family.

The Night Agent (2023– )
10/10
One of the best shows I have watched recently
24 March 2023
I must say I never thought Night Agent would be this good. I was expecting more drama at the white house and some few killings here and there. To my surprise it's a lot more than that. It's very thrilling and gripping action mystery to be solve throughout the entire season. Everytime one episode ends it's creating this urge or temping me to want the next and so forth 'till I realized it's already 6am in the morning. I was darn hooked to it I never realized it's already sunrise. I never had this same feeling since 24 tv series on the same genre. Not as the same hard gritty action as 24 but the story, suspense, thrills and pacing almost the same. I totally enjoyed this one. Too bad Season 2 seems unlikely at this point but if they do I hope they maintain same level of formula as season 1 or even better.

Kung Fu (2021–2023)
5/10
Very weak, weak and so so.
16 March 2023
To be honest this show is very hard to watch and like. It's like trying to hate something you want to like.

The first season was so darn terrible. Full of side story non-sense unnecessary family drama. To make it worst they're very cringe to watch and trying so hard making their drama felt over acting. Not only that, it's main interest the so called "Kung Fu" action are often so short and disappointing. The fights are so darn very bad. I understand they're trying to lay the ground work but darn it's just so freaking bad. It's hard to watch through but I had to see it through. I'm rating the season as 2/10.

The second season. Well, I'm shocked it got a second season despite how terrible the first season was. Well you'll not be disappointed on season second, it's so much better than the first season. Almost well balanced from story, pacing, drama and the action. It's what it should have been. But still have some things to dislike but I will not ruin all for you. I'm sure you'll forgive their season 1. I'm rating this season as 6.5/10.

3rd season is terrible apparently. It's like between 1 and 2. It's an utter mess. You might like the last 2 episodes to the finale but still disappointing at best. I just wanna finished it so I don't wanna talk about it anymore. I hope it ends here. I am not looking for season 4 anymore.

So this show is more like 5/10 for me or even lower.

A long satisfying sequel but not without shortcoming
25 December 2022
I cant believed we have to wait more than a decade long for a sequel. But well at least it's already here, and I am glad I watched another long Avatar film yet surprising underwhelming compared to the first one yet still satisfying to watch.

This long satisfying sequel is great but not without shortcomings. I find things here on a smaller scale and less grandeur from the first movie despite showing us great new waters of Pandora. Yet it's story closely follows similar pattern as the first one. Yes, it's a sequel so it should be obviously but they should have made it not so obvious. Sadly it's story it lacks depth than the first one. This is just more of simple revenge story plot line to me and seems to be it will still be for another round.

Nonetheless, Avatar Way of Water didn't disappoint us on showing another side of Pandora. It's spectacular looking great seas and underwater world of creatures. And that is why it is still the Avatar movie we all know from the first one.

I wish 3 and 4 will be on a as much grandeur as the first one. And a more deeper story rather than a simple revenge story plot line. I really like seeing more of Pandora and their mysterious ways. I'm sure there will be after watching Way of Water, as it seem they are setting up a some strong bases on this sequel that are yet to be explored and explained in the coming sequels.

More Avatar movie please...

Warrior Nun (2020–2022)
6/10
It's nice but lousy
22 November 2022
Warrior Nun is kinda nice but terrible on the best parts. The story is great and very interesting. I love the idea. The characters are great too, even the special effects. But it's being dragged down by a many so many very short lousy fight scenes. Though I notice some fight scenes are short but good but when there're so many involved it's being dragged down to the point they all look like just playing push me here and push me there like as if they forget they have powers and they have skills. That's the only part of this series I find it unsatifactory. I kinda wish there will be season 3 where they will actually improved better on that area.

Jurassic will always be what it is.
16 July 2022
The same story, fun, adventurous and thrills. The way it should end. See you again after 2 decades. I'm sure they will be then be part of the natural wildlife of the world, no more parks.

NCIS: Hawai'i (2021–2024)
4/10
My Magnum PI v0.5 but much worst.
9 July 2022
I almost thought someone reshashed the Magnum PI for worst. Good thing title appears NCIS Hawaii every time. Someone seems thought of mashing FBI most wanted and Magnum PI = NCIS Hawaii. Good thing only one season. I don't mind this getting cancelled. Willing to trade this for Magnum PI instead.

Weak and Very Lame
3 March 2022
I was expecting much about this spin off. But it turned out to be very lame and weak. Characters aren't even likable at all, not all but the main characters are just plain empty soul less acting. The zombies aren't even worth watching in this series as they more dumber and and not even scary at all.

Season 1 - Terrible, too boring.

Season 2 - Slightly better than season 2. Just a +1 to the 1 rating.

The only thing that makes this worth considering is that the title is a spin off on the original series The Walking Dead.

Bottomline. If you want to waste your time till you fall asleep at night then watch this. It will give you a goodnight sleep immediately.

The closest live action movie to the game itself
30 December 2021
The movie is quite generic and straight forward but it's the closest live action movie you'd get to the game itself. But still not quite right and feels off to be honest. Still I find it good and worth watching for this version of the live action movie. I hope they will make a follow up that follows the game's story line.

The Climbers (2019)
5/10
An interesting take of Chinese conquering the mount Everest
2 February 2020
The movie itself really shows strong determination of conquering not only the greatest odds of mountaineering on Everest but also the sacrifices that have to be made for the sake of achieving the ultimate goal for any mountaineer and so as for their country. This is where the movie shines by a lot. You'll it good flowing down your skin as you watch it.

Where the movie doesn't shine? It's too unrealistic to be honest. The CGI made the location look odd compared to Western's Everest movies. The visual at the Everest are totally lacking realism to be honest. And also they made it way too dramatic and kinda long too to be honest.

Nonetheless, it's still an okay movie to watch but I've seen better. Even so it's not bad nor best but rather mediocre movie that is still worth your spare time.

Outcast (I) (2014)
7/10
Not great but better than I expected
27 September 2018
I wasnt expecting a good movie due to the review rating here in IMDB but I guess I was relying for it too much for was actually good and not for me. Glad I watched it anyway as it was really fun and entertaining for me.

Some lines are bad but not enough to dislike the entire movie. Action scenes and location are really good and entertaining. Hayden and Nicolas were good and fitting for the role but not their best to be praise. There isn't much character development to be honest its more like a straight forward stand up. The movie shines as an action adventure for general viewing which is really good enough for me to continue watching it to the end and where I can at least say its good movie than overall bad.

For me I'd say this is 6.5 out of 10 score which still good where I more enjoyed watching it than criticizing it.

The Commuter (I) (2018)
7/10
His action thriller never gets old
29 March 2018
The commuter seems like a pretty common plot for a thriller action movie. Normally, I am not fond of those in general as it can be dragging and long to boring. But if you put Liam Neeson on it in a good story plot on a movie like this it never gets old with him, it always end up interesting, thrilling and really gripping mystery how it will all unfold to the end. It started with some offered something for someone and he went haywire just going back and forth the train cars looking for this Prin", ha... no spoilers so I'll stop here. It reminded me a bit of the movie the Murder on the Orient Express but that was bit long dragging but okay, on this movie The Commuter it's much more thrilling and gripping as the story unfolds, ain't boring. I really liked this one with Lian Neeson, may not be as good as Non-Stop which feels similar but different circumstances but if you like Non-Stop or his Taken movies you'll like this one too, promise. Though you might put it on the third order. Nonetheless I say it's really worth watching.

He's getting old to be honest but I still hope he can more action thriller movies like this one that as good as Taken and Non-Stop.

A must watch!

The Great Wall (I) (2016)
7/10
Good cool movie but not great, so many wasted opportunity that could have been better
29 January 2017
I was really really looking forward to this movie since last year after seeing the trailer. It was damn cool so many troops and commanders that leads them against hordes of monster at the one of the seven wonder of the world, the Great Wall of China. Seems promising right! damn yeah...

First of all the opening wasn't dragging long talks of what's the movie is all about. You could say the opening is almost close to the trailer itself at the first siege. Which is if you ask me good but it almost all stops there because the rest of the grand scale I was expecting but was lost there. The movie kinda just focus on the Taotie(monster), Lin Mei and William and the rest are just background greatness of lost opportunity. It was good when William show off his skills and imperial troops did their part during the siege to repel those damn monsters which was really overwhelming to see. And then you will later realized why those damn troops so busy on the background but where are the rest of the colored powerful great commanders that you might be expecting to display their fighting skills. Well you wont see much about them, you'll see them commanding on few clips then on the feast...Lol. The story is really good but the movie kinda just a the WHOLE SUMMARY of the what could have been a great horde movie.

Well the overwhelming swarming monster attacking tactics might have been the reason why there aren't much of fighting them head on like LOTR heroes fights the orcs. But since it's a movie you everything is possible. They could have made same spots like when William and his friend fought them head on a diversion method as some of the monster got separated from the horde or when some reaches the top of the wall. I guess either in a hurry on the deadlines or there's isn't much of a budget? Common...

Bottom line, I adore William's skills and his buddy fight scenes plus the imperial troops all over that spans across the great wall but nothing more follows. As even Lin Mei wasn't much show off of her skills nor fight scenes. Sorry you wont see some kung fu or flying acrobatic fighting skills like you see on some Chinese movies or the expectation of grand scale Red Cliff movie I was expecting. It is a summary of great fantasy story in a movie, the end.

I will give it six out of ten but I remembered Lin's smile of cuteness so I will give a plus one instead ;). Let me be.... after all I still find the movie okay and good.

Good but surely lesser than the Olympus has Fallen
14 May 2016
I like the fact that there's a follow up to the first one "Olympus Has Fallen". Hearing the "London has Fallen" seems like wish come true if you come to like the first one.

Well the opening seems rights and good makes you curious how it all happened but as the things happened after opening crisis where the London has fallen seems flowing slow to everything fell short and rush to the end too. Seems it went down all too fast, too short, less interesting than the plot of the first one.

Though it wasn't as good as the first one you can never deny the action packed movie but it just went well too plain and simple. You better watch "Olympus has Fallen" and "White House Down" and compare it to this one.

Anyhow, movie is a movie so I give this one a just right enough to keep me watching this franchise. But the 3rd one should live up to the first one.

Spectre (I) (2015)
7/10
Most Mediocre Bond Yet since Daniel Craig
17 January 2016
I always have high expectation on Bond films since Brosnan to Craig who took over after. It's always a big bang entertaining. Well this Spectre film on the Bond franchise seems the most mediocre among all of Craig's Bond films. Nothing much of highlight action, stunts, tech etc that you mostly see only on Bond films. The title "Spectre" is really cool and makes you have more higher expectation, well it's completely opposite after watching it. Casino Royale and Sky Fall are far better than this.

Okay, the film is not completely rubbish or bad at all. It's just that it's surprising that this is just sort of mediocre level despite being a Bond film. Anyway, it is still a good movie to watch. I don't wanna give it 6 since I like bond films so just 7. And will not talk about the positive points on the movie, can't recall much but you should probably know what is when it comes to bond films. yeah? :)

I'm looking far forward on the next Bond film to be far more great.

The Martian (2015)
9/10
I expected a lot for a more than 2 hrs movie but in the end i was not disappointed
7 January 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Well the movie surely way too long, sometimes dull and boring but it made it more detailed and more intriguing. I love how the NASA tried solutions to save Mark and how Mark tried to solve complex problems just trying to stay alive before rescue arrives.

The surprising part is the CNSA's appearance who is actually willing to help NASA to save Mark. Who would have thought of that? Well it just made me feel that the two opposing nations can really work for a common good. I know in reality might be opposite but I'm sure behind the scenes there might cooperation between two agencies.

The Hermes crew went back using slingshot back and forth between Earth and Mars. Crazy as it sounds but that's how they work it out, though there was complication on picking up mark on orbit but they have successfully rescued him.

Well, the worst part is that is the ending. After hrs of watching the ending felt more unsatisfying and inconclusive. Once Mark hop inside the Hermes it then poof the scene instantly back to earth where Mark is already sitting on a bench in a park. It's like what? why rush the scene back to earth. Didn't even see the Hermes traveled back to earth, nor their arrival landing or even welcome party and other sort of scenes to commemorate the mission success. Well, as much as I wanna see that part there's none. Seems someone cut the movie in the end.

Well still the movie is really heart warming to watch, you might feel touched and gonna cry or some tears to shed. Assuming you watch and listen to it closely. If you don't well your conclusion is "boring" for sure.

Good or just okay fine. But worst than its predecessors.
10 September 2015
The good only about this is the fact its a reboot that I really missed and enjoyed from the predecessors. I really liked Fantastic Four and sequel rise of the silver surfer but this one is like just to make me remember of those and not something any better. This is like a very low budget reboot. I guess this what happens when you let the kids messed up whats was already getting better.

The movie is almost very empty for action and more tell tale story telling. Short summary is just created the teleporter device to another dimension, they went there got their powers, went back again, stop doom(very simple & short) and the end. Thats it. Sigh.... The predecessors were a lot better to be honest.

Just rent it and never buy it.

Surprisingly jaw dropping moves and stunts
28 July 2015
Very fun to watch specially if you like Kung Fu martial arts flicks. KungFu style and moves used here are very surprisingly jaw dropping stunts. It may look bit unrealistic but just for the fun and imagination that Kung Fu is a whole lot on a different level of fighting style you will definitely love it.

If there's one thing I am missing on this movie is more challenging and long rival fights than easy to the top final match. Other rivals deserves something more too.

Anyway but still this is really a good one from Donnie yen. A must watch.

A Great Come Back
11 July 2015
The original Jurassic was very great but the next 2 sequels have started to wind down it's goodness. This one just leveled it a little bit like the original though not much but it's definitely good too.

Jurassic World is like a re-imagined of the original Jurassic Park. I love it. I just like it the way I did when I first saw the original Jurassic Park.

Will definitely watch Jurassic World again. And I am hoping for a much more better sequels this time than the originals did on The Lost World and III.

I recommend watching this film if you feel lost on the original sequels.
