Arrow: Fallout (2017)
Probably the worst episode of TV History
As a big fan of Arrow, I, like many people thoroughly enjoyed Season 5's return to form. As spectacular cliffhanger raised the question - is Team Arrow dead?
With a title like 'Fallout', fans will go into this episode expecting to see misery and mourning as fan-favourites turn up dead.
They should not.
To give it credit, Fallout does gives us some interesting plot lines, however, these plot lines are heavily outweighed by the atrocious editing, acting, choreography and dialogue. It's like they should these scenes in one take and thought, 'That'll do it!'
There are many times in this episode where, for example, a bomb will go off and a police officer will react late to the blast. In fight scenes, enemies will be flipped over by just their hand.
In one scene, the editing makes it almost appear as if Diggle has shot Wild Dog during a fight (they are teammate's) but he had not. In fact, the bad guy in front had shotgunned Wild Dog.
What's worse is that Wild Dog shot is wearing amour and so whilst the shot might hurt, it would not kill. What happens is that Wild Dog stumbles backs for a few seconds, UP A RAMP and then starts to fall to his death.
Later on, Curtis actually disappears during a scene.(He wasn't supposed to.) A bad guy actually runs right past where he should be standing and the camera follows the bad guy as we see him get taken out by Diggle. (Who also runs past where Curtis was supposed to be.)
Earlier on, you can see Felicity drop to the ground as she is trying to outrun an explosion. This has to be the worst trip in TV history. I think they forgot to edit out a whole second or something. You can see the actress just drop to the ground and not trip over anything.
Stupid things that are annoying: Curtis's T-Sphere's can hack anything, despite them being tennis ball size. Re-Use of the 'Green Arrow revealed' storyline.
Oh, and the fact that after a massive cliffhanger, where a whole island exploded with everyone but Green Arrow himself on - not one important character died.
Sure, in-universe it might be a good thing. They wouldn't be saying this either. Samantha is dead, so William loses his mother. (But this has no emotional impact because of shitty writing.)
Thea, a fan favourite character is actually in a coma. However, this is only because the actress has requested a 14 episode contract, and so will wake up and be in the back half of the season.
The pacing was incredibly off. There were certain times where dialogue should have been re-spoken because it was almost The Room bad.
If anyone who works in any capacity at the CW sees this, I hope you find out who directed this god-awful episode, which team edited and tell management to fire them.
I would say fire the writers, but we've wanted that since season 3.
Even though I said this was the worst episode of TV history, I give it a five because Stephen Ammel and Manu Bennet were brilliant as always and there seem to be some exciting plot lines in the future.
Natural Born Pranksters (2016)
No Point in this movie
All of the pranks are clearly fake. This is worse then what they do on Youtube.
Bad acting. It's like they didn't even put effort into this movie. Apparently they spent $1million on this movie. Should have kept it.
Obviously movies are going to be acted out. But this should of been like Bad Grandpa, where it was all real. Or that at least looked real.
It even had a story.
Genuinely a waste of money. No story line, fake when it shouldn't be and all in all it is a crappy movie made by crappy Youtubers.
You shouldn't even think about buying this. I actually feel quite upset that I won't get the time back I wasted watching this god awful film.
In the trailer for this film they even put a prank in that wasn't theirs. This film had no credibility from the beginning.
