Kinds of Kindness (2024)
Off-Color Pointless Cringe
It is marketed as both funny and black comedy, but the content isn't that funny. It is "black" in a way that is always leaning as close to graphic gore as possible.
If it can fairly be described as "funny" it is only due to the amount of sexuality and nakedness that is featured in almost equal measures as the pointless dark content. For example, and this is NOT at all in the movie, 2 adjacent scenes would be a character seizing a pigeon and eating it raw with blood and feathers everywhere, followed by 2 men and a woman naked in a shower moaning and having a wild rainbow 🌈 romp!
Those are the 2 dichotomies that keep ebbing and flowing back and forth again and again throughout the entirety of the 3 vignettes.
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)
Cringy Terrible Nothingness
Every joke from Deadpool is a male-on-male gay sex joke. They are spaced apart by 3 minute intervals, and they do NOT stop. They aren't funny. Not offensive. They're just tiresome. They aren't clever. And now I've introduced you to half / 50% of the entire dialog and script.
How can I say this? Imagine watching that show on CBS w/Cedric the Entertainer, ok? Every 2 minutes, there is yet 1 more tired, stereotypical, Unfunny joke about something particular to being a Black/African American. Every 94 seconds.....another super tired 1 liner that MUST be helped by a laugh-track.
And, the story never begins and therefore you spin around in circles waiting for it to take hold, but it doesn't. Finally, Ryan R pretty much talks in his effeminate pseudo altered voice most of the whole movie. Is that funny?
There is NO way Hugh J or Ryan R would ever watch this movie if 2 different guys handed them this same movie to watch. It is a TOTAL Money-Grab. Think, JarJar Binx and Mr. Bean star in the next Star Wars spin-off. That's how bad this movie truly is. Had to warn you guys.
Kimetsu no Yaiba: Kizuna no Kiseki, Soshite Hashira Geiko e (2024)
90% Was Entire Swordsmith Villg Re-Watch
If you came to this movie thinking that you wanted to see an uninterrupted sequence, no breaks, of the Swordsmith Vllg Arc, but on the Big Screen for all of that Grandiose Big Screen pleasure, you Win!! If you loved the Swordsmith Arc, and wanted to see it this way Or... if you failed to watch the Swordsmith Arc the right way, and need to re-watch it as a single movie and NOT separate episodes, again, you win!!
If, like me, you thought that they would pick up this great narrative storyline they have been crafting so perfectly and so sweetly for us and plunge us deeper into anime bliss, they don't. They move the narrative about 6 inches forward.
You might feel like the bus picked you up at your house, drove you in a circle, and deposited you 2 inches further ahead of the exact spot it picked you up. Almost nothing is advanced by way of narrative and storyline.
Let's say it like this; you feel hustled and cheated when it's over. Imagine if the new Star Wars movie was actually episodes 5-8 of last Summers's Mandalorian series on Disney!!
Not really a new movie is it if they attach some tiny little unremarkable filler stuff at the very end, and the movie then ends just like that!
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024)
Donald Glover is the New King of Cringe!
Long cringy conversations between Donald & Maya is all you're getting. The worst part is that if they were on shrooms, weed, or some other psychedelic, then at least the dialogue might be interesting in a metaphysical sense, but no.
Imagine watching 2 people with zero chemistry, who don't appear to have any physical attraction to each other.... and the guy is constantly begging the chick to have sex with him. Like a ZILLION times and she keeps rejecting him. Ongoing painful cringe.
And their total lack of spy skills?! They almost lost the slow walking 90 yr old lady who they were supposed to be tailing and tracking. You can't help but think to yourself, how bad would you have to be to not be able to keep up with an old lady who couldn't move any slower unless she was crawling!!
They seem to get lost in their own world of long pauses, long stares, and words/dialogue that you could probably over-hear in any random airport at any time throughout the day.
It is like she is supposed to be mysterious and sexy, but she isn't. He is supposed to be thoughtful and clever, but he's not. Since when did anyone start to think that two (2) cringy nerds with no skills, no chemistry, and a total lack of good writing for the sake of realism would be entertaining?
Summer Time Render (2022)
Like Watching Paint Dry
Listen to me loud and clear: A male protagonist who goes back in a time loop over the course of the first 6 episodes and never seems to learn a thing. On top of all the other nervous, goofy, bumbling, awkward stumbling anime trope it loves to showcase for young men, and it is too much nothing to even believe!!
Yes, the art and images are cool, but if you want or need the plot to move forward and progress like it has a destination, forget about it. You will never watch another anime made in the last 3-4 years that moves slower than this series. It stalls, meanders, & runs in circles. Yucky!!!!
Bad and Crazy (2021)
Story W/Nothing To It, Runs In Place Forever
The main character does all he can to avoid seeing, hearing, or doing anything a good detective wood do. Willful blindness to justice. He is haunted by his ghost alter ego who wants him to do the Right thing. So there are dozens, upon dozens, upon dozens, upon thousands of scenes of this Detective chasing his dream/spirit of vengeance around, while the dream/spirit plays coy and kicks his butt time after time. It never ends. Endless loops of this same cat & mouse.
The long and short of the crime/murder is quite simple, direct, and could be fully sorted out in just 4 episodes. Now....imagine that it takes 12 episodes to complete the series. So.....PAINFUL. These other reviews just are not being honest.
Quickly, you want to know who is this dream spirit of vengeance, and why should the series take so long to give this character any context! On top of that....
Why does the series have so much time to dawdle around going nowhere in thousands upon thousands of nonsensical comedic loops that are SO annoying. We are in the midst of a murder cover-up, corruption, and heavy crime content, only to do the whole Keystone Cops stuff of running around in circles slipping and falling on bananas and spaghetti?!!?!
And there are more scenes like this to fill in for the lack of missing content, so as to allow 4 episodes to stretch out to 12 episodes.
It does not get better. By the time you get to the end of episode 3, you'll know that you've wasted time.
You could write more, but how much can you write or say to try to co vey the overarching idea of "Terrible"?
