Fair Play (2023)
Awful
This was hard to watch until the end. It was very bad. I didn´t find it empowering at all. It wasn´t romantic. It was just really bad. And it was extremely long (two whole hours that cdould have been so much shorter). Don´t waste your time with this. I hope I hadn´t seen it. The script is bad. The acting was bad. The story is terrible. It´s depressing and harsh and wrong. It´s like eating nails. The whole story is ridiculous. The whole movie is unbeliavable. There isn´t one single redeemeable thing about this movie. It´s just so bad. And there are great movies about the stock business. This is just not one of them.
The Creator (2023)
Disappointing
We went to see this in IMAX and really wanted to enjoy it but it felt flat for us. The story is bad. The dialogues are bad. People commenting that the dialogues are so bad that they seem written by an AI are absolutely right. It´s predictable. You don´t feel for the characters, any of them. The special effects didn´t seem like something new either. It´s very formulaic. Like written for children. I don´t even think that teenagers will enjoy it. It would have to be younger than preteens and I wouldn´t recommend it even then. There is no story to tell. I´m sorry we went to the cinema to see this, it wasn´t worth it.
1923 (2022)
Great TV!
I can´t wait for season 2. It felt terrible when it finished because we were looking forward to the next episode each week. I think this is the better TV show out of Yellowstone and 1883. Of course, we will continue to watch Yellowstone or 1883 if they have new seasons or any other spin-off. But the characters in Yellowstone got too exagerated as the seasons progressed. And the poetic voice in off and the storyline in 1883 were not as good as 1923. You notice the great budget for 1923 in the scenes in Africa, the boats, etc. And it´s so well acted. Really top notch. Can´t wait for the second season.
Outlast (2023)
Terrible TV Show
THis is one of the worst TV shows I´ve seen in years. We watched it all the way to the end (8 episodes) because once we watched the first 5 (that´s when you want to stop watching how awful human beings some contestants are and you are sick to your stomach of how fake it all seems) because we do like shows like Alone and my husband wanted to finish it. I think this is not "reality TV" as announced. I think this is all scripted. Too many coincidences. And one of the contestants (the older one with white hair) appears in IMDB as an actor in something else. I don´t believe it for one minute. This was terrible. Skip it completely.
Your Place or Mine (2023)
Disappointing
I really wanted to like this movie but it´s not salvageable. I was in the mood for a romantic comedy but isn´t it. It took me a long while to give it a chance because of all the bad reviews but I took a chance and watched it all to the end because maybe it wasn´t for everybody but maybe I liked it. That is not the case. This movie is pure garbage. It´s not for smart people. It doesn´t have a good plot. It´s maybe for teens? But not even then. It´s just that bad. You don´t get to relate or feel for any of the characters. It´s just terrible. I´m adding my review so that my vote helps hopefuly to decrease the rating even further.
Bones and All (2022)
Disappointing
Bones and All is a very disappointing movie. At the start it´s original, like a new take on vampires or the like. So it feels like it could be fresh but then it slows down and is very boring. And then the ending is terrible and meaningless. Unexplained. I didn´t find the movie romantic at all or meaningful or interesting or anything at all. Some of the characters were disturbing so that was well acted but the ending ruined everything that could have been saved. It´s just not worth seing two hours of a movie to get to that ending. Why would anyone think that was a good story to tell? It beats me.
Emily (2022)
Disappointing
This movie was terribly disappointing. It´s not a beautiful period movie or TV show like The Gilded Age, Downton Abbey, The Empress, Poldark or even a fun guilty pleasure one like Bridgertons. It´s dreary and oh so terribly slow and long. This is over two hours of nothing to tell or narrate. It´s not romantic at all. It´s not funny or witty. There is just nothing to tell really. This movie could have been cut in hald because there are so many silences so many gaps with no dialogue. But even then it would have been too long since there was nothing to tell. Even the actress can´t save it. I whish I hadan´t seen it.
Dash & Lily (2020)
Disappointing
This TV show was primarely disappointing. This is a TV show only for teenagers. So characters are just childish and shallow. The protagonist couple doesn´t have any chemistry at all. The secondary characters aren´t relatable either. I watched it until the end to see if it would improve given the good ratings but it doesn´t. There are even other YA TV shows like "The summer I turned pretty" that are much better than this. There just isn´t a worthwhile story. It´s all very childish. I hope I had watched something else. It´s so hard to find something good to watch these days. It deserves a lower rating.
Glass Onion (2022)
Really didn´t like this one
I really didn´t like this movie. I wasn´t a great fun of the original movie either but it was ok (but predictable). This one is even worse. It´s like it´s written for kids. I love kate Hudson and the acting by all of them was good. You could tell it had a good budget because of the success of the first one. But I just didn´t enjoy it. It wasn´t funny or clever. It was quite straight forward for a Cluedo like movie. The characters weren´t likeable and you don´t really relate to any of them. I wish I had seen something else even if there isn´t much to see these days. It needed a much better script.
The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)
Doesn´t deserve the hype
This movie doesn´t deserve the hype. I don´t get that it has such good reviews and such a high rating. The landscape is beautiful and the acting is terrific. I also loved the music. What can we say? Ireland is beautiful. But the plot itself is terribly uninspired and goes nowhere. It´s not believable that someone would do such things as happen in the movie just to make a point. Nothing is explained in the end. It just escalates and then goes nowhere. It´s also very sad so not enjoyable at all. It isn´t a rewarding experience. I do love the two main actors and the main actress. Well done them!!
The Calling (2022)
Went downhill
I´ve waited to watch the whole season 1 (eight episodes) before leaving this review in case it improved to match the good ratings but it does not. In fact, it starts better off and then goes down hill increasingly fast. The last episode was the worst as it got more religious. It looks like there might be a season two but I won´t watch it, that´s for sure. I wish I had watched something else. The actors aren´t good, the script isn´t good. It was fun to see one of the actors from This is Us and another from Entourage but the TV show just isn´t any good. It´s divided in 2 separate cases and the second is worst than the first.
Love Me (2021)
Loved it!
Loved it! I really hope there is a second season and hopefully many more. We just need more TV shows that cheer us up and are lovely instead of dark, creepy or depressing. It is really well acted. All the actors and actresses do an amazing job. And it´s not too cheesy. The story plot is believable. I really enjoyed it. Hope there was some place where it would recommend more TV shows based on the fact that we really like this one. It is sweet like Bridgertons, This Is Us, Sweet Magnolias, The Guilded Age, The Empress or The Summer I Turned Pretty. We just need more of those as guilty pleasures.
Raymond & Ray (2022)
Terribly boring
This movie (Raymond & Ray) was terribly boring. The actors are great but the story is terrible and it goes nowhere. It´s dreary, glum and depressing. I wish I hadn´t wasted my time watching it until the end in case it got better. Why would they want to make a movie out of this script? The movie feels like a theatre play and there isn´t anything wrong with that per se, but there is no point to it. There is no great revelation, nor any twist. It left a bad feeling in my mouth being so depressing. Normally Apple movies and tv shows are a guarantee of quality but it´s not the case even if the actors are great.
The Devil's Hour (2022)
Disappointing at the end
The Devil´s Hour is a great TV show until you get to the ending. The actors are all oscar wothy: the child, the mother, the detective, .. specially the grandmother I think did a great performance. However, I hate when TV shows get nowhere and don´t have an ending. The series premises is something we´ve already seen in other TV shows and movies. It all seemed to add up and work until the end. Maybe there will be a second season but I won´t watch it. It´s a shame. WHen you sepend so much time watching all 6 hour long episoded you just want it to mean something and it doesn´t. It goes nowhere with no explanation.
House of the Dragon (2022)
Brilliant!
I just had to write this review after watching the season 1 finale (episode 10). There are so few TV shows that are worthy of our time. This one is great. It lives up to Game of Thrones and since I haven´t read the book it´s all a surprise without it being butchered by other writers different to George R. R. Martin (who is a real master of his craft and I hope he finishes Game of Thrones at some point, better sooner than later, but here we are waiting). It´s gripping, it´s fantasticaly acted. The actors and actresses are just terrific (in all their versions). Can´t wait for season 2. Hope we don´t have to wait until 2024.
Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022)
Boring
I was very disappointed by this movie. It does not live up to the rating in IMDB. My husband was half bored out of his mind and groaning through the whole movie, complaining about why we were watching something so dull and uninteresting. The actors and actresses do a good job but the story just isn´t there. It´s not interesting. And you watch it all the way through hoping for some twist or surprise at the end to make it all worth it and there just isn´t anything to look forward to. The special effects are ok. It reads like a theatre play most of the time instead of a movie. It was a waste of time.
Last Light (2022)
Terrible
The storyline and plot seemed interesting (end of the world story by petrol problem) and the actor from Lost and the actress from Downton Abbey made it look like it could be good since they were involved, but it just kept getting worse and worse. Really bad TV. Really bad quality. Give this one a miss. I wish I had. It can´t get much worse than this. Go watch something else instead. I don´t know how this got made, it´s that bad that I feel the need to review it to let people know since when I watched it the reviews were good enough for me to give it a try and they were clearly misleading (at least for me).
Archive 81 (2022)
Disappointing
It´s good that this TV show is not hard horror so we can watch it (we don´t like horror/gore/frights, but we enjoy suspense) but the ending is a let down and makes the whole experience not worth while. The main actor does a terrific job though.
Persuasion (2022)
Sweet light-hearted fun
I put off seeing this movie for a long time because of the bad reviews, so I´m giving it a high rating (0,5 more than I would rate it, but it doesn´t allow for half stars so I´m rounding up) so other potential viewers can know that it´s not as bad as the general rating now indicates. It´s a good movie to see if you want something sweet and light-hearted. It´s even witty at times. I wasn´t put off by Dakota looking at the camera at times, I agree it makes the movie feel more modern. In all, much better than anticipated and I´m happy I watched it. The male protagonist is a bit vapid though and it´s not ground-breaking. Just a little time of sweet light-fare fun.
Dark Winds (2022)
Disappointing
This TV show started promising and went downhill from there. I´ve watched the full first season and it just kept getting worse. A waste of time, wished I hadn´t wasted my time.
Twee zomers (2022)
Disappointing
I watched the whole season waiting for the ending to make it worth it but it didn´t. Yes, there are some twists but nothing really engaging enough. I felt like I wasted my time.
Deep Water (2022)
So bad
Deep Water is such a bad movie. Don´t waste your time. It´s not romance, it´s not a noir good movie with a mistery. It´s just dreadful. And the acting isn´t good either.
The Bear (2022)
Just great TV
I loved The Bear. I wished season 1 had been longer and I really hope they renew it for Season 2. It was terrific, great acting, great characters, just awesome.
The Terminal List (2022)
Just watchable
This series is just watchable. It is clearly aimed at men with a love for guns, I´m sorry to say. It was hard to watch all the way to the end and I hope they don´t make a second season or something.
Windfall (2022)
A waste time
This movie is incredibly slow and it is not worth it once you finish watching it all the way through. It´s just a waste of time. It´s better if you watch something else.
