Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023)
Good premises, boring development, nice ending
This series is have a good premises, but the development kinda dull, luckily the ending is somewhat good IMO
Episode 1-3 makes me want to watch more, but from episode 4-8 the development are dull, the politics is bad, the family drama is too much and MC backstory that nobody ask, nobody want to know if the female lead is lesbian or a cheater like her father, in this series that making monster its premises who cares?
Luckily the plot twist in eps 9 and Godzilla battle in eps 10 (eventhough it was only 2 minutes tops) kinda saved the series for me, which makes me want for more, and i think the season 2 is worth to wait.
Just please make the story good, and focus on the monster and monarch as a whole, instead of family drama nobody asks.
One Piece Film: Red (2022)
The best One Piece Movie
The story is good, normal people can enjoy it, not just fans, and there are some of good tearjerking scene, though not as good as when Going Merry sank
The songs by Ado and the UTA singing scene are epic, and the feels you get when you watch it, it was so damn good I've search and added all the songs to my spotify playlist.
The battle scene are all epic, and talk a lot about their characters, especially those who rarely shown in Manga and Anime
All in all, the movie is a very good One Piece Movie
where it focus on a backstory, and makes you love the character, for me this is the best One Piece Movie so far, because you actually feels the story, not just come and see Luffy punch the hell out of the enemy. It's boring
Ignore those who rate this Movie is bad, just because
- They felt oda mislead them to see it for shanks power, where in the movie Shanks did shows some of his power though not all of them, cmon, the even in the manga Shanks is a very mysterious character, and you think Oda will shows it in Movie, when the manga itself haven't got to that part?
- The angry fans because the movie shows a lot of singing scene, i mean cmon, the trailer already shows that the new character is a SINGER, the stage is a LIVE CONCERT, even all the synopsis says so, how come you can't even expect the movie will contain a lot of singing scene? Think a bit before talk.
Resident Evil (2022)
More like the Walking Dead than RE
Finally watch all the episodes and the RE content only around 1 hour tops and most of the things in here is "ORIGINAL" and thats the problem with most of RE adaptation everyone want to shove their "original" to viewers it seems so hard to the showrunners to just take the lore and follow it they feel the need to add something ORIGINAL
To watch until episode 8 is tiresome. The series was a snoozefest, especially the drama part, and it really tested my patience, I've tried to keep in mind, hypnotist myself even, that this is an original story, this is a multiverse of resident evil, etc2
I really confused as to what audience the creator want to cater to?
The fans? Most of them disliked it to give it bad rating
The critics? Don't even ask
Newcomers? Either they didn't like it enough, or couldn't care less with this series
RE 2002 and RE Apocalypse are 10/10 compared to this, and it was sub par at most.
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021)
A pure garbage that is a lot worse than what the trailer shows
The director does not know the material of the film well, by combining 2 timelines that can be separated into 3 films (RE 1,2,3) or make a Raccoon City trilogy, instead they are combined into 1 film which ends in a chaotic and uninteresting bad story, RE fans will be disappointed with the story
The change in character appearance due to the Hollywood diversity which make it worse with not only appearance, they also change all the character personality, which in turn make this movie is a waste of time and waste of money
Sadly the captured atmosphere for the Spencer Mansion and RPD are wasted because the story are rushed and feels so bland, no puzzle solving, no bactracking to try escape the place
The memorable scene of RE 2 where MC meet the Lickers feels like a joke, not even a shred of horror in that scene, G1 rushed skipped to G5, and only a bit of shot, they defeat the last boss
if this is the future of Resident Evil franchise in the Film section, better to skip it altogether if you play the game, not worth a second of your life at all.
Peppermint (2018)
Good Action and Decent Story
I must admit, seeing the reviews on site like IMDB or MetaScore makes me pessimist about this movie, but it turns out i enjoyed the movie a lot.....
yeah the story is the usual revenge story, plot twist is expected.... but i love all of them especially the fight choreography
You don't need to think much of why and what not, just enjoy the movie... definitely worth it
