Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024)

Quite a job

[7/10 · 21 April 2024]

When I heard the news of the release of the fourth part of Kung Fu Panda, I felt nostalgia for the past, and I was also aware that this part would not be as good as the previous parts, but it would do the trick. After I watched this movie, I can tell you that this movie was fairly good. Yes, it was not. The best part of the Kung Fu Panda movie series, but it was entertaining. If you decide to watch the movie for the purpose of a deep story and compelling events, you will rate the movie 4/10 and you will not like it at all. If you decide to watch this movie for the purpose of entertainment and to recall memories, you will like it to some extent, starting from the wonderful and perfect animation in all aspects to the good fights and the somewhat acceptable ending. As for the shortcomings of this film, as I said previously, its story is very simple and has many similarities with previous parts, in addition to the fact that the escalation of events is very fast and that the villain of this film has weak motives and some jokes and events are repeated from previous parts. I cannot really say that this movie is the best part of Kung Fu Panda, and I also cannot say that it is a disaster. Rather, it is an average and enjoyable movie, and I hope that this movie will be the Series finale.

3 Body Problem (2024– )

A good story with very poor direction and writing

[6/10 · 20 April 2024]

I think that this series has a distinct, non-vulgar story with a factor of mystery and suspense, and it could have been much better than this had it not been for its poor implementation in terms of directing, writing dialogues, and events. I liked the diversity of languages, cultures, and races in this series, and I also liked the merging of realistic science with science fiction, which... It is considered an attractive idea, and they succeeded in combining them together, in addition to moving to the past and representing past events with a wonderful science fiction element. I also liked the characters of Soul Durand, Jack Rooney, Will, and Jin Cheng. This is in addition to good acting, wonderful photography, and very convincing CGI. There is some good comedy for the series and some symbolism For Oppenheimer's film, despite all these advantages, this series is full of many defects that spoil its story. The first of these defects is that some of the dialogues and conversations are boring and do not add any value or depth to the story. There is also the introduction of political agendas in a disgusting way, in addition of the presence of clear writing gaps and laziness. In writing the events and sequences of the story in a convincing way, such as shots of conclusion, analysis, and spying on the main characters without any evidence and without any preparation for these shots. Also, one of the drawbacks of this series is that the character of Auggie is an unpleasant, provocative, petty, and domineering character. I literally hated her appearance and shots. I could not sympathize with her. I was hoping it would end her scene fastly, in addition to the severe weakness in building some of the main characters of the series without adding any depth to these characters, such as the character of Mike Evans, who has illogical and unconvincing motives, as well as Detective Da Shi, who did not appear outside of his work except in literally two shots, while the rest of the series only worked as if he were a secondary character. On the side, there are no logical reasons for some of the events of the series, such as the reason for the Chinese army's attempt to communicate with aliens instead of developing weapons to fight the capitalists, and such as the reason for Yi Wenji's confidence in the San Ti Ren to this degree, and that they are the salvation of humanity, even though they described humans as insects and were the cause of the death of her daughter and her lover. Another disadvantage is that there are bad and very weak triangle love with no emotional addition to the series and very repeatative stories. As for the end of the first part to say the least, it is very unconvincing and bad and did not motivate me at all for the second part.

Fallout (2024– )

I'm impressed...

[9/10 · 15 April 2024]

As someone who lived through the period in which the film industry tended to transform the beloved game series like Resident Evil, Doom, and others into films and television programs and how bad and horrific were those works that were made without soul and without passion and did not contain the spirit of the games from which they were made, except for the series The Last of Us. So I wasn't excited about this series and I didn't even want to watch it, but I said let's give it a chance and I was really impressed. Starting from the surprising title of the first episode and the very wonderful story that never leaves you bored of it due to the unexpected events and the exciting progression of the story, this story can be described as completely non-vulgar. It is an ideal story with a smooth progression of events, in addition to the good transition between stories, as well as the transition between the past and the present, which does not leave you with any kind of disorientation and distraction. As for the characters, the acting was very convincing. In fact, I loved all the characters, and I loved how the story gave depth to each character. I also liked the seriousness and bloodiness of the series, and how this stagnation and seriousness was broken with some wonderful black comedy that did not spoil the seriousness of the shot. I was also impressed by the quality of photography and the background music that suits every scene. I also liked the nature of the conflict between capitalism and communism in the series and how it Companies' greed can literally drive them crazy. This series is an example of a series that did not rely only on the name of the game in order to succeed, but rather relied on creating a beautiful story with wonderful acting and a clear identity for the game. I am very excited for the second season and I cannot wait to watch it.

Sweet Home (2020– )

Good series but it lacks something...

[7/10 · 14 April 2024]

I always see a synergy between Netflix and Korean works unlike the crushing failure you experience in Indian and Arabic businesses, even Korean series of the mystery and bloody category that are not produced by Netflix are truly different and impressive, such as The Mouse series, which I like to call it the king of shocks and unexpected events. As for this series, it is really very good, but I think that something was missing for it to become a masterpiece. The first season begins normally with Hyun Soo Cha moving to his new home with a few flashes of his past, and suddenly events begin to escalate very quickly and without progression or preparation for them, which makes you as a viewer confused and confused. You did not even recognize the characters and did not memorize their faces and names, and then the events return. To go normally with dialogues that are okay, but I really liked Hyun Soo's acting and his portrayal of the character. I admit that I had difficulty understanding his past and I almost treated the character unfairly, but his story is good. As for the second season, it was really great. I liked how brutality was defined as not a disease. Rather, it is a person who is immersed in his desires, and that savagery is an evolution and a double-edged sword, and that a person may be a monster even if he does not transform. I also liked the progression of events, which improved a lot from the first season. I also liked the development of Eun Lee's character. She made me care about her journey to search for her brother. I also liked how I hated Bi Young for her harsh treatment of her daughter to protect her. This series excelled in making you relate to its characters. Also, some points that were not clarified in the first season were revealed with an interesting ending. I fault Netflix for the excessive delay in production of the second season, as it was shown three years after the first season, in addition to the extremely poor CGI. The bottom line is that this work is really good. If you are patient with it and its dialogues, it will give you what you want, but it could have been iconic, but at the same time remember that there is no complete work.

Dune: Part Two (2024)

When you make a film with love and put the story above all else...

[9/10 · 14 April 2024]

I was very excited for this part after the wonderful first part, and the film did not disappoint me, starting with Paul Atreides' wonderful acting and his wonderful embodiment of its character, to how Fremen are divided into adherent and conservative believers who believe in the Mahdi, and non-religious people who consider the Fremen religion to be a myth, as well as the Bene Gesserit, who represent those who distort the scriptures. It is sacred to their interests, which is reflected in reality. I also liked the way in which Paul's journey to becoming a Fremen was narrated and the difficulties he was exposed to. The development of Paul Atreides' character is amazing, from a boy who does not know how to become a duke of his clan to his desire to be the Emperor of the Open Universe Empire. And his conviction that he is really the Mahdi, and this is a deep message from the movie, that even fabricated myths may become true if we believe in them, and there are many unexpected events in the movie and dramatic scenes that affect you, and one of the things that made me love this movie so much is Ved Rotha, the heir to the Harknons, and how this character is a sick and murderous person with psychopathic goals and a merciless heart. The events of the film were also very enjoyable and the end of this film is evidence that the third part will be undisputedly the best film of the year it will be released because we will witness the holy global war in it.

Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024– )

Very good work, but it is darkened by the legacy and weight of the series name

[8/10 · 11 April 2024]

I can see that a lot of people attacking this series of Avatar The Last Airbender. There are even people who criticized the series even before its release due to the disastrous series that was released in 2010. On my part as a fan of the Avatar The Legend of Aang series, I can say that I very much enjoyed this show, starting with the story that They kept it with a few minor changes, in addition to the wonderful acting of the characters. I loved the character of Aang and how he balanced being a child who wanted to play but carrying responsibility for the world at the same time. I also liked the character of Zuko, his story, his motivations, and his constant struggle to find the Avatar to restore his inheritance to rule. I also liked the change that occurred at Saka's character from what it was in the original series, from a funny character to a domineering character with a painful past and a feeling of letting his father down. The series gave each character its due and gave them enough depth that made us relate to them, in addition to the smooth progression in the story without there being an exaggerated prolongation of events with development with very distinctive and noticeable for the characters, and I also respected the preservation of the atmosphere of mystery and wisdom characteristic of the original series with perfect photography and very excellent CGI. Perhaps there are a few things that I did not like, such as Aang's weak acting in sad moments and the previous Avatars not giving any development to Aang's character. In fact, I think this series is one of the most underrated series in this year because it carries the name and legacy of a great series that created most of young people's childhoods and an audience that looks forward to an iconic work like it, and I expect the second part to be better than the first.

Goosebumps (2023– )

Another reboot with no expectations and no substandard

[5/10 · 11 April 2024]

I think this series from goosebumps highlighted the problem of making bad reboots of legendary series full of agendas, disjointed stories, and distorting the personality and prestige of the main characters of the original series. The first problem you encounter in making a reboot of a beloved series is that some fans of the original series refuse to change and cling to their original series, and I don't really blame them given what we see today. Has goosebumps succeeded originally to get support and impress of fans of the original series? For me, the answer is no. The series failed from the beginning because it came only two years after the movie Goosebumps, which was okay with a different story and the lack of any connection between it and the movie or even the original series that was released in 1995. This made people unenthusiastic about the series. Before it is even published, as for the elements of the success of any Cinematicbusiness, this program does not have an attractive story.

In fact, it is a trite story with repetitive events and fatal writing holes. This is in addition to the weakness of Harold Beadle's evil motives. The series does not attract me and its events continue to make me want not to watch it again. There is no depth in the characters of the heroes to the point that made me not relate to them or care about them and their problems, even Slappy. Who is the icon of Goosebumps, started out as the weakest villain I have ever seen in my life and with very stupid motives, in addition to the below-average CGI. As for the end of the last episode of the first season, it was an embodiment to the weakness of writing of this series, as if the writer did not know what he really wanted to write, but despite all of this Disadvantages: There are some advantages, such as the development of the series' characters and acceptable acting, as well as the Pratt family's past and Harold's past, which were the only interesting things in the entire series. I do not think that the second season will be better than the first season, because the end of the first season, on which the second season will be based, is not promising, to say the least.
