Literally doesn’t have an ending. I’d say spoilers but there’s nothing to spoil. The audience knows almost as much by the end as they did at the start. So many plot lines and plot holes unfinished and unfilled. It genuinely feels like the writers forgot it needed an ending and thought ‘if we just don’t resolve anything we could get home sooner’. It was an interesting watch, but the last episode and lack of ANY answers really made it feel like a waste of time.

Literally just scenes from the games stitched together by a nonsense plot without much historical basis (YOU KNOW, THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE GAMES!?) and absolutely awful casting. Chloe is the only character that even slightly portrays the versions of them we see in the game, and her character shouldn't have even been in this movie based on the chronology of when she meets Nathan Drake. Stopped watching halfway through it was that bad. Just go play the games again, they're better movies than this could have ever been, and 50% of the action scenes in this film were stolen directly from them anyway. All they had to do was cast Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake and Bruce Campbell or JK Simmons as Sully and make an adventure set before the first game, and they couldn't even get the casting right, let alone anything else.

Only good thing to come from this show is that it got cancelled.

WOW there's a lot of racist, sexist "reviews" here that don't actually talk about the show. I won't talk about the show either, since that's apparently allowed here, but I also won't stoop so low as to make a racist, sexist rhetoric as to why the show is good/bad.

One of the worst movies I've ever partially watched. Constant rape, necrophilia and over the top shock value to disguise what is actually a fairly interesting premise. Turned it off at the 4th mention of rape, just after a scene where two characters have sex on top of a corpse.

Background: I'm a long term Fallout fan. Played 3 when it first came out as my first Fallout game and got hooked, played every version and DLC from then on and went back and played the original 3 games as well. I watch hour long lore deep dive videos and explore the strategy guides for lesser known lore pieces. Fallout New Vegas is my favorite in the series followed by 3, 2, 1 and then 4 being my least favorite (and we don't talk about Fallout 76). I was hyped for the show when it was announced and was genuinely excited to hear we were finally getting some non-game or book Fallout content. The first trailer dropped and I immediately started lowering my expectations accordingly, still hoping for at least a half decent show. (MY POINT AT THE END OF THE REVIEW DOES NOT AFFECT MY REVIEW OR STAR RATING IN ANY CAPACITY) Review: Absolutely not a fan of this show. If I had to describe the show in one word it would be "mediocre", which pains me to say. It goes from being 4 stars for about 5 minutes to 2-1 stars for the next 20 and does this throughout the entirety of the show. Some of the dialog is absolutely AWFUL and even the fairly decent performances of the cast can't fix it. Some scenes come out of absolutely nowhere and have no bearing or connection to anything else going on. Some scenes genuinely feel as if they were written by AI with how they come out of nowhere and how inhuman the dialog feels. Pointless nudity and sexual content that adds nothing to the story is just being done to draw in people that aren't pre-existing fans of the IP, which I don't appreciate. There's a lot of pointless fan service dialog in the first couple episodes, talking about things from the games but never showing anything. This feels like phoning in the universe and just trying to pander to existing fans like myself, without actually doing anything to earn it other than saying those things existed. If they showed more of these things, it wouldn't be a problem, but it's almost exclusively done through dialog. There are only 3 types of monsters in the entire first season, wasting tons of potential the universe and setting offers solely for the purpose of getting people hyped for season 2. We're teased at the very end of the season that season 2 will be showing the monster everybody actually wanted to see; the Deathclaw, by showing us a skull of the monster instead of the monster itself. There are so many moments that feel like they were going to introduce something the fans wanted to see, but instead all the fan service is done through dialog, which ranges from decent to some of the worst dialog I've ever heard in a show, which I suppose is also a form of fan service since Bethesda's writing gets worse each release. The sets, environments, costumes and monster design are fantastic. However there is the exception of the Ghoul character (not the ferals) which looks absolutely awful, especially up close which happens often. All the things the show does right makes it all the more bittersweet because you see glimpses of how good the show could've been in these moments before the quality drops immediately after. Overall, I'm not a fan, don't consider the show or any events within canon and won't be watching season 2.fallout show Also Fallout New Vegas is no longer canon, Todd Howard confirmed this after fans pointed out retconning to important locations in New Vegas.

Really enjoying it so far after 4 episodes! It’s not perfect but it’s about time we get a semi-serious kids horror themed show that isn’t Gravity Falls. This obviously falls short of that bar, as does everything else, but this is definitely worth a watch. The actual Voodoo lore is fun and educational and seems mostly accurate from what I’ve seen so far. I like the design and personality of the main character and Aunt a lot, but the side characters feel less developed both as characters and visually. They stick to the typical nerdy sidekick/former friend current enemy/dumb jock archetypes with the addition of the shy kid (who looks like Earl Sweatshirt, which is cool) being added to the main cast. I hope as the show goes on they get more fleshed out, and I hope I season 2 their visual designs get to stand out more like the main character does. I’ve noticed something where negative reviews aren’t showing up when searching for them on IMDb, rotten tomatoes or Google Reviews. These reviews exist but only show up at the bottom of the all reviews page on all 3 outlets.

Historical Accuracy: 0/5 Terrible portrayal of an actual historical event and honestly completely distasteful and disrespectful to Africans and anybody affected by the salve trade as a whole. The tribe shown in the movie was one of the main exporters of slaves during times of slave ownership, it's how they made most of their money and supported themselves. The movie paints them as palm oil producers and exporters and against the slave trade when that simply wasn't how it happened. They attempted to export palm oil but the venture ultimately failed and they returned very quickly to capturing, selling and torturing slaves instead. This particular tribe was so notorious as the most vicious slavers in Africa that the British had to come in and stop them by force. The "Woman King" herself never actually existed and their tribe sold the most amount of slaves of any slaver in the history of all of Africa. They were the most notorious, violent and lethal slavers in the history of the continent. They try to paint her has a hero character wrestling with the moral complexity of their business, but this simply isn't historically accurate. It's comparable to trying to portray Eva Braun as a misguided woman manipulated into doing the things she did instead of being the evil villain she really was historically. This is no doubt going to retroactively turn this truly evil, vile woman into a Martyr that people look up to, and they absolutely shouldn't be. The fact that the movie tries to portray literal slave traders as the heroes is frankly disgusting and a slap in the face to every family ever affected by the slave trade. Movie itself regardless of terrible inaccuracies and portrayal of a villainous tribe as 'heroes': 3/5 It was actually an alright movie and anybody who doesn't know the true nature of this tribe would easily enjoy it and view them as heroes of their time. The acting was well done, the setting was beautiful, the shots were well shot everybody involved did a good job, except for the writers. They had an opportunity to show the real slave trade and teach, but instead we get a disgusting attempt at a feel good movie where the villains are the heroes and a 'woman's empowerment story' left a very bad taste in my mouth. It feels very much like a re-writing of history and I really don't care for that. Not every movie has to be 100% historically accurate, but making this particular tribe into the heroes the entire movie was quite frankly disheartening.

How to kill an amazing franchise in only it's second film. Product placement is EVERYWHERE to the point that it's sickening. This is a children's movie for god sake and they're advertising everything from Ebay to YouTube in it. It takes a much less video-game oriented approach that the first, which is what made it special. Before Ready Player One, Wreck-It-Ralph was the only real video-game crossover movie we had. This one ditches that premise entirely and just talks about the internet and social media, something that's already way too over-saturated in modern society as it is, much less advertising all of them to children all at once without showing any negative sides of them. This had potential to bring even more video-game related hilariousness to the big screen again, and yet they opted to ditch what made the first great and fill it to the brim with ads. If you're even considering watching this one, just go watch the first one again.
