Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
(2023)

Rollicking good fun
Well, I absolutely loved it. Action is great, humour is really good, and it also manages to strum at the heart strings once or twice. Chris Pine did a great job, and the supporting cast is really good too.

I played Dungeons & Dragons a LONG time ago, and it brought back memories of insane adventures and plans that never quite went, well... to plan. That being said, you don't have to be a D&D fan to like this movie, it will appeal to anyone that likes some grand fun, needs a laugh and likes a few good action scenes.

Given the franchise history with D&D movies, I wasn't expecting much, but forget the previous movies, this one REALLY hits it out of the park. I would definitely watch it again.

Morbius
(2022)

It's worth a watch
I honestly don't understand the hate directed towards this movie. It's not going to win an Oscar, but who expected that anyway? You all know the story from the other reviews, I just came here to say if you want an entertaining enough action flick, then this is worth watching.

Dragon: The Weapon of God
(2022)

Words fail me
Honestly, I don't know what to say. The acting is so wooden you could chop it down and make a table out of it, and don't start me on the fight scenes.

Just do yourself a favour and let me be the only one that needs to pay for therapy after watching it.

The Green Knight
(2021)

The most boring movie I've ever seen
The title says it all. I don't understand the high rating for this movie, sure it's nice to look at, but that is it. It is worse that watching paint dry. Honestly, just don't bother.

Wonder Woman
(2017)

Such a let down
The best thing about this movie is it shows which critics are in the pockets of the movie studio, or that are so totally out of touch with reality that their opinion is irrelevant to the mainstream movie watcher.

I was being kind with the 3/10, I paused it twice to go and do something more interesting... like cleaning the oven.

Bright
(2017)

Definitely worth watching!
I saw the trailers for Bright on Netflix for months and was eagerly anticipating watching it. I wasn't disappointed. It certainly won't win any Oscars, but honestly most of the movies I like probably wouldn't either. It was a good take on the Buddy Copy formula, and mixed with the fantasy elements resulted in what I thought was a great production. Will and Joel did a great job, and the effects and story were really good.

A lot about the world it was set in was not explained in detail, but that was a good thing, especially as I'd love to see this result in a TV Series which could delve much deeper.

I read one critic review (and I paraphrase here) where he stated that being a subscription model Netflix movies are not dependent on critical review or box office results in order to measure their success. He then rated this movie quite badly. I'm glad that critical reviews have nothing to do with success on Netflix, because I really liked this movie. When critics rave about The Last Jedi (which I thought sucked), and pan this (which I thought rocked), I am not at all interested in their isolated little opinions.

Netflix - keep doing what you are doing.

MacGyver
(2016)

Yeah, It really *is* that bad
I used to watch MacGyver, not religiously, but enough. It was a good show that introduced some cool concepts to a TV series.

THIS version, however, is just painful. The acting is bad, the script is shocking, the plot is just terrible with holes enough to drive a large moon through. Whoever wrote this should go back to penning late night chat line commercials. The story line is childish, rushed and has pretty well no redeeming qualities.

It did, however, make me go back and start watching the original series again, which I had forgotten about.

Do yourself a favor, miss it. Or lobotomize yourself first.

Traded
(2016)

Just don't bother.
It would appear that often people are motivated to write their first review here out of admiration for the way a film moved them, or shock at how badly it was made. Unfortunately I'm here because of the latter.

Just to preface, I'm not a critic, I have no agenda other than someone that just likes to enjoy the escapism that is provided by a movie. I love to be entertained, and I admire a wide variety of genres, so I'm certainly no film-snob.

This film doesn't deserve the rating it currently has on IMDb. Overall it's pretty bad. Whilst the plot isn't terrible, and it all starts off quite nicely for about 20 minutes or so, it all goes downhill into quite a mess. The supporting actors are terrible, and the dialog makes you want to cringe. Overall it's not the most horrible experience in my life, but I do wish I had just mopped the floors or something else instead of watching it.
