The King (2019)
Wasted opportunity with lazy direction
The sets and cinematography is fantastic. The lead actor has all the range of an autistic carrot. What just really flipped my lid was the soundtrack....a near constant Hand Zimmer-esque track common to every single Christopher Nolan, Zach Synder or similar superhero movie...the whole...duuuuurnnn...durrrrnn...DURRRRRRNNN....never never never ever ends....litterally all the entire movie...with characters looking in slow motion with constipated faces into the background like a Calvin Klein parfume advert....as the constant music just gets louder. The film is desperately trying to use music to compensate for an all round abysmal cast, script and story.
Cobra Kai: Then Learn Fly (2021)
Watched this an the next episode and jacked it in
God what happened? I do not believe the same writing team made this amateurish, dull predictable, childish drama. It's not just bad in parts, its clunky and embarrassing. You can see exactly where the 'netflix executive' demanded a certain inclusivity story line be railroaded in.... It's awful!
Cobra Kai: Let's Begin (2021)
Dull episode... Disappointed and it gets worse from here
Was genuinely excited waiting to watch this. The good feelings started to fizzle out with about 15min. Was like this season was written by an poor quality AI or some of the writers just sending in old scripts with character names changes. Its just so generic, lazy and boooooring.
Cobra Kai: First Learn Stand (2021)
Last Jedi of Karate Kid....Subverted all expectations...AVOID
Genuinely, genuinely disappointed... Was really looking forward to this season.....feels like a completely different series with completely different writers. Managed to get 4 episodes in and just gave up. Woke, really boring, lazy melodrama plotlines that just aren't interesting. The kid in the picture (u can guess) is attacked by a group of mainly white kids (headed by Daniel's son) what follows is a literal copy of the KK1 scene where Daniel gets beaten up after the prom...did JJ Abrhams write this? You can see the executive etc at Netflix have their fingerprints all over this.... What a shame..... It feels like the soul of the show was scraped out and replaced by a random scene generator based on what previously worked well....avoid...especially if you enjoyed the previous seasons.
