How exactly is this even an adaption based upon Street Fighter II with cringy dialogue, acting and messy story that does not even respect the source material?

Whilst Tekken: Bloodline certainly paid homage to its third entry which is what made the franchise a classic, but unfortunately it is let down by its rushed story and characters that lacked any opportunity to shine within its six episode run.

Shang-Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings not only showcased the vision set by Destin Daniel Cretton who is well known for directing Short Term 12, it also showcased one of the best and epic choregraphed fights within the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date and brilliant performances and a compelling narrative that tells the story of the struggles with its main character and antagonist who were played by Kim's Convenience star Simu Liu and Infernal Affair's Tony Leung.

Morbius felt like a film that was made with a lack of heart and soul that made Sony's produced Marvel film, a dull, bland and forgettable film. There plenty of issues throughout the entire film from the awfully disjointed and unevenly paced story that was so messy and confusing especially with its post credit scenes. The amount of choppy editing and poor visuals within its fight sequences and the cast performance was underwhelming.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a decent sequel, however parts of the sequences can feel quite draggy and at times, lacks focus on what it is trying to convey to audiences.

Whilst the first two seasons were OK (although it could do without the racial stereotypes and I do have questions raised about the casting of Tiffany's mother in one episode), I felt that it seemed to have lost its way from the third season onwards especially with some of the new characters (with the exception of Destiny) that lacked personality and originality that had similar traits from its former cast.

Although Brenda Song did captivate with her performance and tries its best to provide a respectful representation of Asian culture, Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior is riddled with several questionable aspects within its script with a flat storyline, editing, pacing issues and its reliance on stereotypes and tropes.

Despite the great performances of Rob Delaney and Ellie Kemper, Home Sweet Home Alone falls rather flat and messy in terms of its poorly constructed story and script.

Whilst I do feel that the first act was rather messy and slow in areas, it does pick back up within the second and third act. Overall, I would say that the Eternals is not a great or bad movie, but it certainly has room for improvement as Marvel Studios' latest flick attempt to produce something different from their usual formula.
