Fairly good show following the rom com formula. A traditional Montague and Capulet narrative. Nice to see a show that is for 35+ audiences watching Seth Cohen and Veronica Mars fall in love . (Brody still has that Seth affable nerd charm, while Bell brings about never going to be beat Mars confidence). One nitpick episode 7 “WAGS” shows the helicopter mom pumping and with pumping kit for her 5 year old son, then in the next scene is drinking. I call B.S. no way this mother still pumping for a 5 year old would risk alcohol in her system. Even with the end of the episode throw away line “pump and dump” to justify her actions.

Lame , instagram filter movie equivalent to bubblegum ice cream. (Colourful but tunsatisfying) and even though i an aging myself with this note. At its’ core the premise is a total ripoff of “Flatliners”. I have no patience for Gen Z pandering content. SMH

First and foremost both Fury Road and Furiosa are NOT “reboots”, they are revival’s of the MAD MAX universe. A “reboot” would involve original characters, nods to previous plots but updated for current times. Secondly, and just one persons opinion, no shame to others that feel differently. I felt as if the pacing of Furiosa was way off. When the film started with “1. Abundance” I was A.) disappointed with the lack of respect for an audience. Viewers understand story structure they know beginning middle and end. I don’t need chapter breaks. I am watching a movie but reading a book. B.) Further upset when it was in chapter 2. and no Ana Taylor Joy, then I knew it was a 5 act story instead of 3. Thus the pacing issue. My next constructive criticism is that for a movie named Furiosa, there was to much world building as if the movie was an origin story for a 3 part franchise. Lastly Dementus motivations and backstory should have been more fully developed and IMO more story focused on back and forth between Furiosa and Dementus instead of the politics of the wasteland. One more thing. I couldn’t help but think that Chris Hemsworth nose prosthetic was a studio note to “ugly” him up so that we could buy into the notion of being a villain.

I do suspend belief when it comes to Transformer Movies. But was instantly taken out from the get go, when time title establishing NYC shot says 1994, then the next scene the main character soldering a transistor to fix his T.V says “show me the money, show me the money,” a phrase that was not in the zeitgeist until 1996 with the release of “Jerry McGuire,”. I’ll accept robot apes. But what I won’t accept is such little script review. SMH Also Mirage does a “dumb and dumber” “I like it a lot “ Jim Carey bit. Yes dumb and dumber was released in 94’ but not until December and it is quite obvious that these early NYC scenes are either early spring or late summer either way not in December she said, “I like it a lot” was a thing. Sad sad Hollywood. If I was a production company I would go on strike from lousy writers instead of them striking against me Couple the above with poor edits, eg when the security guard says don’t move, Noah puts hands up, lady says, “bout time you showed up” in a medium wide shot/ cut to wide shot 1 sec later with the missile blasting the museum and both Noah and lady have hands up in horribly incorrect blocking from previous shot. Continuity should be respected

Admittedly I have been sucked into the "F&F," Universe from the beginning back in 2001. I left the theatre at the age of 17 back then and (not surprisingly, as a dumb teenager does,) sped around my small home town in my mothers V4 Hyundai Elantra with gall that I would be Dom in a 1/4 mile. I loved the OG and was suckered into buying a ticket to see 2Fast 2 Furious. (Snore fest). I then thought my relationship with the franchise would be on the rearview mirror. Paid no attention to the release of Tokyo Drift, had no idea that there was a fourth which saw the return of Dom. BUT THEN same 2013 and Fast 5 and I was like an addict giving up on sobriety, F5 was and to this day IMO one of the best rebooting of movie IP and just the perfect pop corn movie to watch for the sake of turning your brain off to be amused. 6 stepped up the insanity of over the top set pieces that just made for great entertainment, then 7 then the passing of Paul Walker. I cried and still cry when I hear the the Sam Smith/ Wiz Khalifa track. Now begins the erosion, 8,9 ... with out Walker it lost its everyman emotional core. Yes the movies got bigger and more spectacular, but so did the egos of the cast. "Vin, Dwayne, Jason all having clause in their contracts that they can be seen losing a fight on screen" if it wasn't for Tyrese and his brilliance I most likely would have checked out at 8, bu t nonetheless here I am X only because I just need to see it through and have closure. But this first instalment of what is supposedly to be a 3 part finale was by far the worst since 2fast 2 furious. The movie cost 400 million USD 100 million on casting alone, which is why the opening set piece "fire effects" look like drag and drop instagram tik tok elements. The direction and exposition is degrading to faithful audience of 2 decades. This franchise has gone the way of Jesse from the OG driving off after losing a race to the Tan's in race wars. It should have counted it's losses after Paul Walker death paid its dues and not wound up lying dead on the sidewalk in front of 1327.

First and foremost I am an atheist, I am a nihilist, I am a feminist. I am also a person that respects and values the cornucopia of opposing views and beliefs. I try me best to live my life by the poignant words of Leonardo DaVinci. "all our knowledge has its origins in our perceptions,". Hence why I took the time to watch this "movie". (if you can call it such) as it is more akin to Goebbels Nazi, propaganda. I believe in a space for art to express its creators views. However my distaste is when such so called art is more heavy handed than the priests that molest young children. Christen film making deserves to have its voice but when it doesn't offer a concession on opposing views tact. It is merely the cries of a toddler that screams "BUT I DON"T WANNA SHARE" which is why this movies is juvenile. Lastly to all of those that claim that this was a "brilliant written script". I offer this piece of of "knowledge" when the warden is smoking with James and explains the process of Edwards death penalty, "he goes to the barber because human hair is a resistor..." ABSOLUTELY FACTUALLY INCORRECT -- hair is an "INSULATOR" albeit a poor one, as opposed to a "Resistor" that changes electrical properties when exposed to current. Read a book screenplay writers but obviously not the one that the 'Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints" "The Nefarious Plot" one this movie was based on. Also the staging and set design of this movie is comical. A cousin of mine is a C.O (correctional officer) at a max penitentiary, and I can unequivocally tell you that no prison has a room with a stencilled label "Barber" space. i need to keep on adding to this post, the Glen Beck scene is absolutely ridiculous, A) why is GB dressed like a community college drama professor. B) the character of James a certified psychiatrist is in no way able to determine mental illness and "demonic posssesion"
