I missed the part where that's my problem

Was this show nearly as good as it was hyped up to be? No. Was it as good as some people were describing? No. Was it a good show? Yes. Where the Witcher shines over other shows I've seen is in the camera work. Some of the best I've ever experienced, given that the show is shot in a studio. It makes the environment of the show feel very immersive as if you're actually there with the characters. Great camera work, great atmosphere. Now let's talk about the bad. The only correct casting choice in this show was the actor chosen to play Jaskier (The spunky charismatic bard, in the games known as Dandelion and ultimately serves as Geralt's sidekick, and as the punching bag of the show) Henry Cavill's performance as Geralt was mediocre. While the attitude and personality of Geralt were captured almost to a tee, it's his appearance that really bothers me. In the books, Geralt is described as a more slender, decent looking white-haired grizzled old witcher. In this show, he's a "6'2" overly-hunky muscular man sandwich who looks not a day over 29. He is just too big and that is excessively distracting and draws attention away from what's meant to be focused on. yennefer's actress was not a great choice either. While her actress is not bad at her job, she was bad at this role. She came off as if she's never read the books before, and was given a loose poorly written summary of the character of Yennefer and told to use that. Ciri is probably the biggest joke of the series. Apart from the fact that she is an emotionless plank of wood, her character was completely bastardized into being this (frankly stupid) poverty-stricken princess who makes really bad friendship choices and has terrible listening skills. The plot of the show is pretty much, "Geralt find Ciri" "Ciri find Geralt" and be given no clear path or clues to at least get a start on finding each other. The Nilfgaardian's are dressed in crumpled up cloth instead of being the iron-clad intimidating soldiers they're supposed to be. Geralt wears one suit of armor the entire series and underneath, is an overly "David Bowie Labyrinth" style outfit that is probably the weirdest-looking ensemble he wears. I love the Geralt Roach relationship dynamic. Roach is Geralt's only friend and he's often shown talking to his horse as if she can understand him. He'll make camp in the wilderness and often vent to his horse about his frustrations of being a witcher, and life in general. This is a very "Man's best friend" mechanic and works really well. Overall, this show is about 6.5/10. I could ramble on but I'm sure I've lost the attention of the average reader for typing too many words. What I will say, is this show is worth a watch, and I'll update my review if anything changes in season 2.

At its core, Venom is a decent movie. It had a decent cast with like-able characters and a good story. HOWEVER, it was very rushed. The movie had almost no time to fully develop the story and not a lot of character development. I do like how the director gave Venom some very Human-like characteristics too. Overall 6-1/2/10. A "Watch Once"

Assassin's Creed III/II: The movie

A Quiet place under delivered majorly with a plot that could have been used to make something awesome. I personally enjoy movies with rich stories. This one had a solid 45 minutes of nothing happening, and when something did happen it was shrouded in fast camera movements and blurry CGI miniature Cloverfield monsters. **WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD** The use of "Sonic weaponry" That happened to be sitting in the father's basement is preposterous and unrealistic on every level. EVERY. SINGE. ONE. of the deaths in this movie were completely avoidable, and were ALL the snotty daughter's fault (Except for the old guy in the forest) The whole "Waterfall where people can speak" concept is probably the dumbest part of this whole movie. If the monsters are attracted to sound, how are they not attracted to the waterfall? And before people say "It's too loud" Remember that sonic weaponry operates at frequencies that can make a persons eardrums explode out of their head, that's what killed the monsters. So if it takes that much to kill the monsters, then why would a waterfall be too loud? Also, if the waterfall is too loud and weakens the monsters, then why would they not just stock up on guns, lure the monsters to the waterfall, and kill them all at the waterfall? This movie was a disappointment and had more plot holes than a tattered quilt. 3/10

I feel like this movie was an insane letdown. It started off spectacular with a scene that perfectly embodies the greatness of the first Jack Reacher movie. Then the movie changes into a standard by-the-numbers "I have a daughter whom I never knew or cared to know and I love her all of a sudden and I don't know who the mother is" plot that is present in pretty much every bad action movie ever made. This movie tried so hard to be the first movie, but it failed in more ways than I can describe.

Sicario had its own charm in the sense that it very well captured the reality of the Mexican cartels and drug wars. But all of that is buried beneath a boring movie with a sub-par story that does not get you engaged. Emily Blunt's character is barely explained and what is explained of her is very vague. Josh Brolin had the most enjoyable role in this entire movie.His witty, on the nose personality shines above the plank of wood that is Emily Blunt's character. Benicio Del Torro, while delivering great acting is smothered with a role that under minds his talent completely. he is silent, has no character progression or explanation as to who he is and no emotions. This movie was a letdown in my eyes and I cannot seem to enjoy it at all.
