The Adventures of Maid Marian
(2022)

Waste of time
It's hard to keep watching when 25 min of the start is bogged down by Maid Marian walking through a forrest. Then comes Robin Hood who looks like a clean cut student from some the oxford or cambridge rowing team. There's no chemistry at all with this pair. Que 45 min they are still aimlessly wandering the forrest getting into skirmishes and somehow escaping a situation where Robin throws a helmet at the bad guys shoulder and knocks him off his feet despite the fact he has a grip of Marian and a knife to her gullet. Friar tuck shows up or is it Little Jon, or is it Holdor from GOT who knows. He has zero character depth like the rest of the characters.

The acting is lazy the directing and editing a shambles... and there's no endearing qualities. Watch it if you like but don't expect anything worthwhile.

Ps pretty sure that all this time in a medieval forrest had someone would get at least a speck of dirt on their face but the makeup is as bad as everything else in this waste of time and money!

Jurassic World Dominion
(2022)

Lifeless installment of a gripping classic!
Why does exposition need to be dragged out of every characters dialogue from start to finish?

Why is there no tension?

Why are bugs the centre of the story?

Why does a dinosaur with 3ft pedicured fingenails... need to help Trex defeat his nemesis?

This movie sucked plain and simple as if it was a stand alone movie it would be ok average and probably just make the cinema screens... but as it's a major classic and original blockbuster sequel there's no excuses or forgiveness to be given for this laacklustre affair.

Scream
(2022)

I wish this wasn't so bad ... but i can't lie and say it's good
The cast is the first problem ... wooden and seriously unlikable/annoying .... Script boring and contrived ... explaining every single plot point to the extent of being told about everything ....

I love and am a massive fan of the original reminds me of my childhood ... i hope this isn't the lasting memory of an epic franchise!

Coming 2 America
(2021)

Gotta love Eddie
The original was an utter classic..... This made me wish that it was 1988 again! Coz the films were much better then. The world has changed and this film made realise we don't make classics anymore. I did like the camera shots but CGI was absolutely terrible. The film in my opinion wasn't really funny which defeats the purpose of a comedy. Weak story and odd pacing left me turning it off after 60min... Eddie Murphy is simply one of the funniest men on the planet.... why not give him a funny script to work with?

Not bad... Kevin James someone you just gotta love
Not the worst effort..... I really like the actors just wish the script did what it threatened to do and have more gritty character development and edgy dialogue .... Cant believe a main villain just decided to walk away and leave the film with an outstretched arm "just gonna leave had enough" .... Kevin James would be a great as a villain if he just mixed it up a little with more emotion .... his calm demeanour is good in fact at some points really brilliant but never changed it up at any point. For me it missed the mark but for many it was epic.... so watch it and decide for yourself it may surprise you....

Open 24 Hours
(2018)

Strung this one out.
This film dragged out so long.... It was really stretched out to fit a feature film format but without the script to last the distance..... the cinematography was good though and the acting was only inconsistent due to the script probably.

The Angels' Share
(2012)

Loved it!
I saw this in the cinema when it fist came out.... and just watched again. Forgot how incredible a film it is.... proud of this scottish art! Really special wee gem! If you watch it you wont be dissapointed.

The Legend of the Five
(2020)

GRAND IDEAS... LOW BUDGETS..... SELDOM WORK.
Insufferably bad, but somewhere in the mire of bad there was some good ideas. GRAND IDEAS LOW BUDGETS SELDOM WORK. There's very little to like about this....

Castle Freak
(2020)

Remake something well...... or remake it not!
If you have low expectations, are you allowed to be disappointed? On the plus side locations scout is incredible! Hats off to you sir.

Cats
(2019)

1 kind star
What can I say that hasn't already been said here....... 1 star..... and that's kind.... I won't waste my time with 1000 reasons I turned this off in the first 15min

Yoga Hosers
(2016)

Unwatchable
At first I gave it a chance... I have seen some bad films in the past and endured them to the end but I honestly could not continue the painful experience that this film put me through for 28min. I did skip forward a few times in hope it might get to the point. I doubt though that anyone involved actually knew what the film was a bout. Confusing and badly executed.... I think one star is fair due to it being unwatchable for me... good luck to anyone that makes it to the end.

The Sand
(2015)

Pity bout the dialogue
This starts off with really poorly written, unrealistic dialogue...... but the actors did well with it regardless.... All things considered worth a watch... kinda

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
(2012)

Sean is so rude
Rude, obnoxious lead character which wouldn't normally be the worse thing in the world but he's completely unlikable in every way.

Cursed
(2020)

Almost all wrong
It was apparent early doors that this series lacked depth. The acting forced and its playing the current political game very safely .... there's good actors but they don't shine... that's the only way i can put it... Fantastic scenery shot in UK which is one aspect that was top class! Pity bout the rest.

The Club
(1994)

Simply Awesome!
This film has it all! everything that you would want from a b movie horror.... epic villains, hapless teens, it's eerie and mystical. Ok so it's not perfect but it's something awesome and 20 years later i still enjoyed watching it as much as i did when i saw it first! Oh and I've always believed J.H Wyman is serious underrated! Wish he was in more films the industry needs more like him!

Revenge
(2017)

cinematography masterclass
This is a really great wee film,ok a little unrealistic perhaps, but so what!! It's beautifully shot and it's clever. The actors took their roles very seriously and performances were of a high quality. In my opinion this should be higher rated! One more thing..... the sountrack is top class. You should enjoy this one... I know I did!!

Lost Gold
(2017)

Great stories, amazing production
This is a great show from a historical prespective.... The stories are legandary and the Jesse and Josh are very interesting! Unlike a lot of other reality tv shows this one is produced and shot very well. Love it guys!

Fame-ish
(2020)

some funny moments
Every bad camera angle in the book ...... only joy was lead was quite likeable and acting overall wasn't that shabby..... better crew and this would of been 7 stars from me. Storyline was interesting.

Alaska Monsters
(2014)

Hillbilly romp
Seriously.... Well you can be sure of a few things here... 1. They will NEVER find what they are looking for. 2. You WILL laugh at watching them fail. Gave it 3 stars 2 more than I should... coz anything so ridiculous always entertains. That's what we watch these shows for!

Assassin 33 A.D.
(2020)

Don't believe the fake reviews
I would of course.... give the worst movie ever made a 1... as its the lowest rating possible.... this gets a 3... coz im in a good mood today... it has been sunny outside.... think i may have had too much vitamin D! AMEN!

Aquaslash
(2019)

Urban Legend
There was an incident in our city Edinburgh of someone who put razor blades in a flume... This was about 20 years ago. it is so clouded with mystery no one knows if this was really true, or fabricated but it definately put many people off from venturing down the slide. This film brought back that childhood memory just bigger blades. Unfortunately the pace of this flick was more than questionable and there was a lot of weak points in the script... it's not a complete waste of time but with little to no character depth etc etc... it is hard to name many positives. Ah well over all it is not the worst ever!
