The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
Special effects are like sugar, delicious at first, but nauseate after too much
The show in general is really poor. The conversation between characters seems to be written by a child, the story don't wrap in a way that's make sense and the special effects - that are really impressive at first - are exaggerated after some time.
The same mistake the writers did to Rey in Star Wars (transforming her into an ridiculous overpower characters without a reasonable development) they made to Galadriel. That scene she fights a troll alone like she was in a bad kung fu movie is disturbing. Same for the human woman that is in a romance with the elf (I don't remember her name), a simple peasant is turned into a legendary deadly warrior by no reason and it don't add not a bit for the plot.
Now considering the adaptation from Tolkien: it's not an adaptation, it's a mistake. Scenario in general don't take important premises into consideration and there are some absurdities like Galadriel crossing Valinor and the Middle Earth by swimming - this distance is compared to USA and UK, there's whole ocean in there, and she swam (really, wtf?).
I did an effort to finish the first two episodes, after that I cancelled my Amazon subscription without regret.
The Sandman (2022)
Is boring to watch
As Warner Bros always do in the screen, the serie is too dark (with low lights). Now add that to an uninspiring direction and there's a serie that we struggle to watch.
Special effects are good - not great - just good. The series try to keep the essence of the original story, where Dream is not always the center of the plot, but how deaming influence people.
Some actors have a really poor acting (specially the characters Lucien and Joanna Constantine). The lazy dialogues don't help either.
It's impossible not to mention the LGBT agenda, because it is added to the serie all the time, completely out of context and for no reason at all. The original comic is incredibly diverse with the inclusion of androgen, transexual, and black characters. For some reason they believed it was necessary to overflow same sex kissing and race swap every character with more than 2 minutes of screen time.
There are better Netflix series that didn't had a season 2, I wouldn't be surprised if this one was cancelled aswell.
Wir sind die Nacht (2010)
Great photography, ugly actresses and plot with holes
The photography is simply perfect and the movie in overall entertain well,
since It is a German film there's differences from the Hollywood standard.
Actresses are ugly - like, REALLY ugly. Only one is cute (Charlotte), but the main character looks like a beggar. Movies is visual art and appearances matter.
All vampires scenes are at night, wich is really positive. It's so lame when there's some excuse to make them walk during the day.
Story has many holes and inconsistencies. They say there's only female vampires because men are reckless and selfish, but everything they do is way too reckless and selfish. The story is unsure to be a lesbian sexual thing or a teenager love Twilight
Movie is ok to watch, you won't add It to your favorites tho.
Encanto (2021)
Good songs, beautifil animation and great story
You know when a story is great when it happens in a singles place - in this case, everything happen inside the magic house.
Characters are fun and have complexity, songs are really enjoyable and you can rewatch it many times in a row.
Don't Look Up (2021)
Great actors and director, boring plot
Some top actor can enhance any movie. Along with Henry Cavil, Dicaprio and Streep can do that. But even them can't save a boring story.
On the first minutes of the movie you'll know everything that will happen, how it will end and who's to blame. Dicaprio's character is the only one that was well developed, Jennifer Lawrence's ended up being just a regular teenager with a telescope. Boring movie that was praised simply for criticizing politicians, but is not interesting enough to justify the hours wasted watching it.
Eternals (2021)
Good effects, but that's all
I really tried to watch It, but couldn't make It more than half hour. It's so, SO boring.
Has an inclusive cast, wich is the most useless thing a movie can haver.

Red Notice (2021)
Ryan Reynolds is fun, the geographical mistakes are terrible
Not an elaborated movie, but is fun to watch. Ryan Reynolds playing himself is always fun. They did some mistakes in every country they shown in the movie, like Argentina beind in the middle of Brazil, Italy being a place filled with fools and other things.
In overall is a hollywood standard comedy.
Life of Pi (2012)
Amazin storytelling
The entire movie is beautiful to watch and keep you interested all the time. Colors are beautiful, the effects amazing, the story is cativating and in the end you feel you share the main characters experiences.
This movie really got me.
Peaky Blinders (2013)
You'll always want to see the next episode
Characters are deep and well developed, the action scenes are amazing enough to take the breath away and you fell empathy for a gang of bullies in the alley.
Can't say about historic accuracies, but the narrative is amazing.
Breaking Bad (2008)
Trully amazing
The character development is amazing, you clearly sees a school teacher becoming a drug lord during the show.
Secondary characters have strong charisma - for good or for evil - and there's absolutely no dead ends in the narrative.
The Witcher (2019)
Henry Cavill is nice, the rest not so much
Comparing to the books and game we have a mediocre adaptation. The story was edited in weird ways that took much of the essence of the serie - the same as a "diverse" characters in a fantasy polish world.
Costumes were nice and Geralt was really similar to the games (both games and series are more robust than the books).
