Hers about this and also heard the rave reviews, then I watched it....can honestly say I don't get the appeal, usually I love 70's movies from Bruce Lee to Clint Eastwood to Hammer horror but this!? Is this the same movie everyone else watched?
Was falling asleep after the first hour of nothingness, no by the end I had toothpicks holding my eyes open for a lacklustre ending. Save yourself the trouble, skip this one.

Full of bugs even weeks after release, the audio bugs out relentlessly and the lack of a city to wander around solving mini crimes is lame. The story is pathetic, and woke! Apparently some coloured chick is now the inventor of RoboCop on a bit of paper stuck to a white board! Whoopeee....give me a break, this is pure trash!
Watching again after the blu ray release in my country and it's awesome to revisit, I loved it back in the day for its brutality and gripping story and it still holds up now. Not many series grab my attention but this own stayed with me thru all the Netflix failures of recent years.
Jon Bernthal (hope I spelled that right) is perfect as Frank Castle, he plays the role as a man focused but tortured all the same time and a certain charm thread through it all.
Yep deffo a fave, except the dumb kid in series 2, can't stand her!

Finally got around to watching this after putting it off as long as I could, the family finally wanted to see it. What a disaster!
Relies on stealing iconic lines from the classic movies, as if that is good story telling....
Characters are shallow, one dimensional messes, no neuances whatsoever, and unlikeable.
The only good thing I have to saw about this (other then being ecstatic when the credits rolled) was the original design of Giger's Alien with the transparent dome. The rest was just eye roll inducing and I don't think my eyes will recover any time soon. Ouch.
I hope the next entry tries to make a decent attempt because every new movie is just slowly killing themselves. What a waste.

It's not the slapstick comedy, the weak satire, it's not the bad effects....it's the fact it was predictive of 2024.
Never thought this movie would become a documentary. Sadly it reflected the times we now live in and people are painfully close to being this level of dumb that the movie portrays.
I never saw it back in the day, heard about it. And my husband turned it on tonight and I just stared at it, I was supposed to laugh, supposed to be amused at the silliness of the satire but instead I feel sadness, I feel dismay that this could really be our future if things don't change. Maybe media such as this is something we need to use as more of a warning instead of comedy.

Well after seeing all the Chucky movies back to back we decided to give this series a watch, never even heard of it before so didn't know what to expect. Frankly it's not Chucky, the only link is Brad Dourif.
The writing is woke and there was more murder in the first movies' opening than in the entire first season of this rubbish.
It jumps from one thing to another with no transition or explanation as to the how or why, the characters are flat as ironing boards with no likeable traits, it was so painful to sit thru.
If you're like me and grew up with the classic movies then please don't watch this garbage, I beg of you!

Okay so you've scrolled thru the reviews and are wondering *how?!* well I'd guess most are fake.
Now for a real review!
Myself and my hubby have watched this dumpster fire a total of 3 times, and each time it gets worse, first time I think was over 20 years back when it was kinda in its half life, was okay, not groundbreaking and quickly forgotten, then we saw it again I dunno maybe several years later, again forgotten, then we watched it last night and OMG it did not pass the test of time, after so long and so many better quality zombie movies/series made since it's earth shattering to see this pale of rubbish is so well rated.
The effects are sub-par, the zombie make up is lame, the plot doesn't exist, characters are useless and dumb, the raid near the end was just stupid, and the end was stupid.....I stuck a note on the side of our tv to never watch this movie again.

I didn't even remember much of the first nun movie so sort of went into this fresh and didn't know what to expect but I'm warning you now, don't expect anything.
There is no story to speak of, just what seems like random encounters that leads to another event and a mishmash of something, I don't know what, but there is no consistent story to this, no character development and nothing to keep you interested.
I was so bored I started tapping on my iPad games and all I was seeing in the background was screaming and fire and that's the gist of this movie, nothing more happens for the whole damn thing, why wste time and money on this?

Not even close to a horror movie, the trailer made it seem more interesting than it actually it, it looked like,murder and terrifying activity but it's just a woke fest.
Characters are unlikeable and pathetic.
I would not recommend this unless you're part of the group who support this crap.
I can't even go where this movie treads, I'm surprised this made it out of the editing room, I was waiting for something to happen but it just didn't, if I didn't know any better I'd say it was made by woke Disney. Just watch the trailer, it's the only part of this thing that is ok.
Stuff like this should not be allowed, it's why society is crumbling.

I got the Uncharted Nathan Drake collection and am playing the first game all over again, Drake's Fortune.
Now back in the day this was a cutting edge game, and something new, however it never had the best climbing mechanics, most ideas copied from other genre games at the time.
Now in 2023 it feels really outdated, sure it was made in 2007 but when you compare it to say Tomb Raider Anniversary which was released the same year, that game plays much better, faster, smoother and doesn't feel clunky at all.
Of course all old games could benefit from a rework but let's be real that won't happen, so we have to work with what we have and see how it holds up as it ages however the lack of fluidity really shows and the clunky controls were inexcusable even back in 2007, so no Drake's Fortune did not age well compared to other games of its era which is a shame because it has one of the better stories.
I am in no way bashing the game, I love it death but I have to be real and call it as it is, it's clunky and sluggish, that's all there is to it, so if you never played this or want to revisit it, I recommend a lot of patience.....a whole lot, you'll need it.

I just miss the days when you chose your male or female character the npc's would refer to you as he or she, the they them thing is annoying and feels rude to me but apart from that it's a good game so far.
The scenery is gorgeous and looks deliberate, like not photorealistic, the combat relies on your characters stats and your timing more then fancy moves say like God Of War.
Health is abundant so there's no excuse for running out and my fave character so far is Dani, she's funny and says similar things as I'd say in the same situation haha.
Story is straightforward, survive! Simple.
Music, hmm atmospheric and poppin' so far. No complaints.
One aspect I like best is that it's not open world, their choice to stay liner is very welcome in this current environment of wayyyy too big worlds that in the real world no one has that much time to explore. For me personally worlds getting bigger puts me off games, too much to do and long quests means I don't have the time to do even one quest, then I lose interest because it goes on for soooooo long.
My thanks to Deep Silver.

And that is the refreshing part. It's not scary, it's not serious, it's charmingly silly and I loved it.
Mildred is a sweet soul pushed too far and boy does she take revenge in a whimsical way. She reminds me of me, without the nose and knife 😜
Love the silliness, the premise, Mildred is loveable, wacky and very crazy haha. The usual horrible ones are well played also not serious at all, so yeah it truly is refreshing. If I'm repeating myself it's because of the stupid character requirements on this review, but it's worth it because I wanted to leave a review for this movie, cos I enjoyed it, in this landscape of movies that are painfully political or try too hard or take themselves way too serious this was welcome and I actually laughed a lot. When I read the movie description initially I didn't think I'd like it, never expected it to be fun, but yeah, it is. And that's just me being honest. Give it a look but remember, it's supposed to be silly, so don't bash it for lack of realism, cos that's kinda the whole point.

I never write reviews for games on here usually, but seeing as Sony doesn't allow reviews at their place I thought I'd come here as I feel very strongly about it.
This is a faithful update indeed, the only thing it does is add to the original and that is rare these days, most remakes butcher the original and leave a scar on precious memories (I'm looking at you Saint's Row reboot)
Anyhoo, I first played DS on PC, on that EA Origin thingy, but I knew about the game for years not long after it's first release, just could never get it until many moons passed, so I got the trilogy and played thru. What an experience! I loved it, the creepy ship, the monsters, the story, all fabulous, then barely 2 years later I hear about the remaster and I'm thinking....'uh oh this can't be good' but I'll now willingly eat my words as it has proven me super wrong.
Another year is so passed until the release in January 2023 and I'm looking and hoping it's gong to be everything it was. It sure is, and more! This is a labour of love by the team, they've remade it inch by inch and added side missions and a new game plus. Not to mention the beautiful visual upgrade and the eerie sounds of the ship now in full stereo!
If you love Dead Space please add this to your library, you shall never regret it, I promise!!

This is purely political nonsense from start to finish and I say that as a warning to anyone who may be the slightest bit curious about this rubbish to avoid it like it's a super plague.
We begin with the premise of horror, but it never happens, instead we are tortured by politically correct bimbos who want nothing more than to debate their ideals and not confront the reality of a possible stalker that's out to get them.
Long story short this movie falls short everywhere but in the damn political nonsense. It's loaded with so much crap you'd think you were in a debate hall rather than watching a horror movie. I beg anyone reading this to not give this movie a watch.

Not sure how to express this one. I loved God Of War 2018, it felt gritty, focused and Kratos was hurting but strong through the whole story. Atreus was the usual kind of curious and rebellious kid as expected from one of a young age who is learning the world around them from a dangerous situation, the behaviour was acceptable.
This time however everyone feels like a whiny child, even Kratos, who normally is strong and focused on whatever is goal or task is, also the dialogue feels less like a theme in old Norse times and more Americanised with words like welp, phrases like bite me.... Really? At least the writing of the last game stayed in theme and didn't use modern terms as it is set in old Norse times and mythology which usually doesn't contain modern linguistic terms because it didn't exist.
The aspect of the dialogue being Americanised feels disrespectful to the mythos, I'm a huge fan of the Norse legends and appreciate the tone of their day, anything less just feels like it's not accurate or representative.
The simplified in game menu is a welcome addition however and the combat is very solid and the vast landscapes and the scenery are absolutely beautiful but I feel like it's somewhat let down by a long and whiny story with matching characters too focused on crying and lamenting rather than forging ahead.
It may be a thing with modern games, the last one was 2018 in a different environment but it did indeed feel like the characters were stronger and had a real drive to them to just get on with the situation they were plunged into and had no desire to sit in a corner and cry about it. They were brilliant, they were the strong and powerful characters worthy of the old legends..

A great addition to the Addams Family genre. Wednesday is portrayed wonderfully by Jenna Ortega, her stern expression is held well and her intelligently written dialogue well delivered. Joy Sunday also played her part very well.
This series is intelligent and dark, the only element that felt a little off was the final episodes showdown, guess that could just be me, but other than that I found it refreshing in these times of social dictatorship in media. Give Wednesday and piece of your heart and she will poison it forever, in a good way.
(And this here is the filler of letter requirements to make a review complete)

This movie feels like it came from a forum of bickering children who find an excuse in everything to start arguments with each other. I only managed to sit thru this mess in the hope of finally seeing them all die.....
I mean really? It's like someone went on to a random forum and copy pasted drama and printed it into a script, it's that bad.
Please save your precious brain cells and avoid this garbage if whiny gen z babies, at this point I'm lucky mine survived in tact.
Acting is terrible, script is mediocre at best, the music is unlicensed junk that someone pulled out of the reject bin and the rest is just trash mixed with toxic flotsam.

I don't get why people call this bad, it tried so hard to capture the feel and whimsical comedy of the classic 60's show so well. Me and my hubby saw it last night and it was a little oversaturated but it was done in a silly way, it was never meant to be serious and I think people should watch the original series first or lighten up and enjoy it.
Also nice to see cameo appearances by 2 of the original cast, I'm sure the rest of the team would've loved this also.
I also don't understand why I have to write a lengthy review here so I'll just continue by extending a little, no need to read any further.
