Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part One (2024)
What is wrong with animation studios?
5 mins into the movie and I was looking at my phone. As soon as the movie started the first thing came to my mind was that is this seriously a justice league movie. The animation is so disappointing. It looked like I was watching cartoon network 15 years back (which to be honest had better animation by more than a mile than this), and watching something like Codename Kids next door or something.
Through time it seems the quality of animation is going downhill at an exponential rate.
I wouldn't even get started about the story because I was just too uninterested to notice anyway. The movie just passed by.
Insidious: The Red Door (2023)
How disappointing! There was so much potential here.
Oh how insufferable insidious series has become! The fact that I am writing this review while the movie is still playing on my TV is a testament to it.
There was so much potential in the movie. The idea was good. But it felt like I was watching a poorly scripted episode of Supernatural. The girl character called 'Chris' certainly didn't help. She just made everything worse. An unnecessary character which was so wooden and appeared more inhuman than the creatures beyond the 'Red door'.
The story was very predictable. The jump scares unnecessary and too bad, the ending was simply bad. At the starting of the movie watching Patrick Wilson I was wondering whether this is some crossover with the Warren's from the conjuring series. Well that quickly turned to shite.
Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen Part One (2023)
Just 'Dumb' League X Something RWBY (Whatever that is. Who cares?)
It felt like the Superheroes we knew - Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, etc., were replaced by some Millennial teens who wants to play these characters but has no scriptwriter to write their lines.
The movie gets super annoying super soon. The animation feels like its made for toddlers. The justice league characters are just so badly made, it felt like the one who wrote the story had no idea about who batman, Superman or Wonder woman and others are. It seemed he just created the characters after reading 2 lines about them from Wikipedia.
For example, batman who saw his parents murdered and spent his teenage to adulthood getting trained in combat, can he ever make a snide comment about someone's parents? Well he does in the first 20 seconds of his appearance in the movie. For the rest he is so jovial and cheerful that it just gets annoying.
One might be able to understand how bad the movie is from the fact that I am writing this review while the movie is playing in front of me right now and I am only 37 mins in. After I finish this review, I am going to stop the movie and never watch it again.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)
Simply BAD
This movie is one of those movies which has all the hype but no substance, just like the quantum realm around us. It seemed that the writers wrote the script while being high. For example -
1. Quantum size, really? They are smaller than subatomic particles. Do writers even understand what that means? I highly doubt it. To simplify, they are smaller than the particles found within an atom. So how are they breathing when they are smaller than a single atom of oxygen?
2. Kang is the destroyer of multiverses, as explained in the movie. Now again, do writers really understand what the scale of that is? A destroyer of multiverses is defeated in a boxing match by Ant man and wasp at the end. Really? That's absurd and plain dumb. A grave insult to audience's intelligence. Shooting lasers is not exactly a multiverse destroying ability now is it!
3. The previous movies showed good chemistry between Ant man and his daughter, who by the way has become SO annoying in this movie - an obnoxious brat would be more accurate a description. And why is she a genius? Can't any kids of superheroes be normal teenagers? She creates quantum device in her garage. I literally wanted to bang my head on the wall.
4. The CGI. It is awful. Everywhere I looked there were a multitude of colors. It made me dizzy and sick.
5. The first movie showed ant man using a single pym particle to bring himself back from the quantum state. They had a bunch of them in this movie, why couldn't they just do that? Lazy scriptwriting.
6. MODOK. No words. It was cringe AH. From a worthy villain in comics and cartoons to this pathetic monstrosity.
There are many more reasons but these are the major ones and will suffice for now. The movie seemed like it had quarter-hearted effort (not even half-hearted) by everyone who was involved. It looked like they just wanted to get over this project somehow. The end result was audience being served rubbish.
Gulmohar (2023)
Stealth Marketing for Apple products
A movie where everyone uses iPhones. Lol.
The movie is Okay. It's not very entertaining nor very dull. Somewhere in the middle. The story is predictable, one is able to guess where the sub-plots are headed.
Funnily enough, the most noticeable things in the movie are the iPhones and Macbooks. It seems Apple has chosen the movie for Stealth Marketing. (I hate Apple).
LOL.
The story moves at an average pace. The actors did a good job. Needless to say, Manoj Bajpayee was awesome. The love story between the servants and showing the daughter of the house as homosexual felt very unnecessary. The character of the son who wants to stand up on his own feet by being an entrepreneur could have been developed a bit more. His wife's character was very unlikable, both the character and the actress.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022)
Why? Just why!
This movie is so bad that for 5 mins after the movie ended, I was sitting with my hand on my forehead cursing what in the blazes did I just watch. I saw it on OTT and I kept fast forwarding scenes because there was simply nothing.
The storyline is one of the worst I have ever seen, the dialogues are quite pathetic and the comedy is non-existent. Overall if someone asks - this movie is nonsense with nothing good whatsoever.
There is no comparison with the first Bhool Bhulaiya movie. That was a good movie with all the right elements in the right places. While THIS, this is just.... Dumb! An insult to a viewers intelligence.
Battle of the Sexes (2017)
An okay movie
I think it was an okay movie, not too good and not too bad. Steve Carell portrayal of Bobby Riggs was fun and entertaining. He was a delight to watch whereas Emma Stone falls flat and looks unidimensional with 'The Message' which, like real life, nobody is really interested in and we were just wishing her to get on with it and the story. Steve's work was good to the point that even though I knew what the outcome of the match would be from the real event it was based on; I was still rooting for his character.
The unnecessary LGBTABC or whatever it is these days angle was just too bad to watch. I didn't care for it.
Plan A Plan B (2022)
If you are free during the day, watch something else
'Ameer logon ki ameeron wali problems' is the most apt review anyone can give this movie.
There was so much potential this movie had for a good drama, but everything was wasted. The dialogues were cringe, there was no comedy, and you wouldn't feel any connection or sympathy with any character. The ending was nonsensical and completely predictable.
There was just nothing in here except frame after frame of idiocy. All the other characters except the leads (which were unidimensional) appeared to be idiots without an iota of brain cells. All in all, a pathetic movie with no story. If Bollywood does not come out of its 'love' obsession in every story, it will be facing a serious problem. This was supposed to be a light movie, which it is, but there is just nothing worth watching in it. Woke garbage which a woke director who I think is not a human at all (might be a donkey) is trying to shove down audience's throats.
Consider yourself warned!
Arcane: League of Legends (2021)
Good....but nothing more. Overhyped.
This was good. But I have seen animes 100 times better than this. This is very overhyped and overrated. Good but not worth so much rating. Watch Japanese animes sometime.
Comedy Premium League (2021)
Extremely unfunny
I tolerated it for 10 mins, skipped to the last episode and closed that too after 15 mins.
So so bad! Extremely unfunny. I wonder how can these people call themselves stand up comedians!
The Handmaid's Tale (2017)
The hypocrisy of modern feminism
I liked this show for entirely different reasons than the few people, the so called "feminists", reviews. Though it does the good thing to highlight the wrong that is done to the homosexuals it fails to highlight the real oppression that is exercised against women. Please go to the middle-east and see, your whining of how your husband wants to take care of you while you're sitting in your air conditioned home watching this show is not oppression of women but its your stup*d*ty.
What I loved in this show are the subtle hints towards the hypocrisy and toxicity of modern feminism. For instance, take how in the flashback June's friend (Moira right?) gives a long lecture in condescending matter-of-fact tone that he wants to take care of his wife because he thinks women are weak (ROFL literally there, the idiocy these modern feminists believe in) and later when he asks her to drop her back to her home, she readily agrees for safety and how "its crazy out there", so if she is so goddamn strong would she have asked the man if he was going out in the crazy? Hell no!
Or take that the person training the women to become a handmaid is also a woman and the most oppression that is done to them is by women. Or how the men in the house are shown to be somewhat friendly and kind.
There are many subtle hints dropped in the show but I don't think people saw it (modern feminists can't be included in people as they are a bunch of....well you know).
Also tell me if these are the things that are written in your religion, then is it really worth following? Take a look at India where women are worshipped as goddesses. Or you can take a look at your own country where laws have become so biased against men and in the favour of women. There are so many things! And if you are still dumb enough to whine in your A.C rooms of how women are oppressed then please go and visit the middle east. Men and women ARE DIFFERENT because they are, they have different kind of strengths! How hard is that to understand?
Lie with Me (2005)
In other words, story of a wh**e
If you're looking to know what is the plot of the movie, it is a story of a woman, the kind of which we call a wh**e in the civilised society. As simple as that. Not kidding.
Judgementall Hai Kya (2019)
An Okay-ish movie
It was alll going very good, the audience was really in a fix that whose version of the story is the truth but then the makers got too impatient. It seemed like they were in a hurry in the end to finish the movie. The ending was bad, extremely bad and careless. They could have done so much! It could have been sort of like Andhadhun! They took an unnecessary amount of time showing Kangana and her psychosis and the audience felt like - "We get it! Move on!"
Monster (2004)
The Best
The best anime series I have seen! Thrilling and gripping and so meticulously carved story!
The Flash (2014)
Started off Good but disappointed soon enough
Warning: People who think this is the greatest show they have ever seen, please do not read this because either you are too dumb (yes believe it, it's true) OR they don't know what great shows are like.
From being a fairly enjoyable show, it has gone to become a very boring, monotonous and irritating show. Post season 2, it becomes so dull that a viewer can actually predict what is going to happen in the end of the episode. The episodes, apart from following the main story line, follows the same track - in EACH ONE OF THEM! I am writing this review after pausing in the middle of the latest episode, which tells a lot about its quality I guess.
Okay, so the characters downgrades episode to episode. They start irritating you. The characters and dialogues makes you feel as if you are seeing so much sweetness that it's making you want to throw up. And the viewer starts to pissed off for the fact thinking that why the hell these characters have to always talk about their 'feelings' which get hurt over such stupid little things that one feels like giving them a good thrashing. All that uninteresting, monotonous emotional drama makes it so whimsical that it actually makes the viewer think "Whining bit**es" about the characters. Which makes a person wonder that after so many fights and dealing with losses, why are these dolts (the characters) still stupid and have not become more matured. Which reminds me - why are they not killing or sending that stupid Ralph (Plastic man) away and why the hell they keep bringing that Wells guy back in every season in some new form!
The science they use and the scientific explanations they give are just so damn ridiculous and extremely stupid that it makes you wonder that whether they are some Arts Grads posing as scientists, making stuff up as they go! I mean - Extracting powers and treating and changing the DNA with a liquid in a test tube! Do they even know what the DNA is! By the way who the hell pays for that Star Labs - for the surplus amount of electricity they are using along with all the costs that are or could be incurred by such a huge establishment in size? RIDICULOUS! Idiotic!
There is nothing different in the episodes and the characters starts to become so irritating - (I don't know how to describe it in any better way) promoting Modernism so much so that the viewer starts to wonder that in which part of the world people are like that and then thanks his luck that he does not live in that part of the world. It makes the characters look shallow and overly superficial in subtle ways (sometimes not even subtle!). I can go on and on, there are just so many flaws!
I'd recommend to watch Daredevil series or the Punisher series on Netflix which are so splendidly made (well compared to this crap). I am saying this though I am a DC comics fan! This show has become Absolutely disappointing!
The Magicians (2015)
Superficial, shallow, idiotic and confusing
For someone who hasn't read the books, this show can be very confusing. I have not read any of the books and I just went straight to watch the show. Couldn't even watch the Pilot completely. It was like just anything was happening in the show. The characters completely shallow, same old teenage talk crap, some characters oversmart, and no display of emotions. For example, in the pilot when that main nerdy guy gets that weird symbol on his hand, he goes to the girl who doesn't talk to anyone and anyone doesn't talk to her. She is a studious girl, and when he shows her the symbol, the first reaction is not of surprise or fear or anything of the sort but that they should steal a book from the dean's office. Wow!
Lust Stories (2018)
Acting is abysmal, please stop boring us!
I don't know what modern india are you talking about. Women act like who**s, acceptable. But seriously, with how much population has these things happened to out of the total population of the country? Even if you guess it is lesser than 10% the most. How is that the story of modern India? Yahan toh log bachpan se single baithe hain, I know so many such people. Anyway, it basically is again about women doing debauchery, adultery, cheating, indulging in unethical and immoral practises in the name of women orientation and empowerment. I mean "Give me a break!" I see more than 50% of fake rape cases registered daily in police stations, so many families and men ruined by registering a fake complaint and misusing the law by women in their favour. And they talk about 'empowerment', 'upliftment'! *Rubbish*
BTW
THAT BIT BY KARAN JOHAR WAS A COPY FROM A KATHERINE HEIGL AND GERARD BUTLER MOVIE - THE UGLY TRUTH!
Anyway, it was so boring I couldn't bear to watch after half an hour! And I am the guy who hates those typical bollywood nonsense masala movies! so thats saying something. nothing more to add.
Mahabharat (2013)
Are they trying to insult the epic?
The Director with his limited knowledge has converted an epic with the teachings of life into a typical saas-bahu serial. The over dramatic responses, the close ups on actor's faces after each sentences, the nauseating music which has no logic to be put in at that event, the irritating slow motion, the facial expressions like any typical saas-bahu serial and above all - THE WRONG STORY! For instance, Shikhandi was not a woman, he was a eunuch, a transgender. And that's just the tip of the iceberg of the mistakes in the story of the epic! The special effects that has no use at some points whatsoever and the women who at all times are wearing jewellery, has perfect makeup in those times and acting and progressing of the storyline, as said earlier, like a typical saas-bahu serial borderlines the experience on absolute disgust for the director and the actors. Its like no one told them that they are now not directing or acting in a saas-bahu soap but in MAHABHARATA!
I am even amazed at the people who are rating it as 10/10. I wonder have they lost their minds or are simply gullible and stupid enough to like anything with special effects, mindless acting, mind numbingly stupid scenarios like complete make-up and same clothes & jewellery for months (as per the storyline) and over-dramatic acting that comes their way. Well both the symptoms of idiots who are fans of indian soap operas - the typical saas bahu serials and have never seen anything like game of thrones or call game of thrones idiotic compared to indian daily soaps (trust me, even these kind of people exist!).
Rather watch BR Chopra's Mahabharata. It was a gem compared to this non-sense.
Supergirl (2015)
pretty disappointing and boring so far
i am a dc comics fan, so naturally i was looking forward to watching the pilot episode. after watching all i can say is that this show has done nothing but disappointed me. the characters were so 'unreliable'. the story and the dialogues of the characters of the episode were as if an immature high school teenager has written them. acting was 'eh', so unconvincing. if this is how the rest of the show is going to be then i don't think i would want to see it. there was no spark, no 'kick' in it that make people gluing themselves to the screen. the costumes and weapons look more like that from power rangers i.e., childish and laughable.
