Video Game
The characters are really well written. The benefits of single player games that told stories rather than attempted to make money. I already talked about Ashley's racist ass. There is also Garrus who is a companion in the next game and might be my favorite character.
TV
What a sleeper of a show. I remember it coming out, but never heard anything about it. When my wife and I were looking for a new show, we saw the main cast and thought it would be good. We were dead on. Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow are outstanding in their roles.
TV
Most of the middle episodes are beyond fluff. They serve no purpose other than maybe to have a little fight. Typically, what happens in episode 4 through 6 is overwritten later. If you took out episode 1-2, 10, and 19-20, you might have another 3 episodes worth of content
Movies
The story is pretty good. Some of the "prep" scenes are questionable and make Rapp out to be a terrible human being rather than a cool guy. I especially have an issue with the range scene. That type of activity is very much frown upon by EVERYONE.
Movies
This movie is well received and with good reason. It was very funny and the action with it feels good. There are some very interesting visuals in this as well. I mean the scene with Bradley Cooper is way funnier than it should be.
Movies
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I had heard good things, but Glen Powell usually annoys me so I was expecting the same. However, this did really well. He is much more human and less pretty boy in this movie and I liked it.
Movies
I know people call this a 10, however it isn't there. Timothy does a great job with one major exception. He monologue in the South. Every time I watch it, I am just dragged out of the movie because it doesn't feel believable as compared to the rest of the movie.
Movies
Will and Martin are a great paring, which is why in 2024 we got a new Bad Boys movie that I am looking forward to watching. This isn't Oscar worthy, I mean it is an early Michael Bay, but it is very enjoyable to watch. They do a great job of just working off of each other and pushing the envelope
Movies
What a way to start off a movie with crappy AI video. I have never been so immediately turned off of a show or movie than I was with this pure fiction of a opening sequence. I mean White Lotus starts off with a dude holding his... "Pillar and stones" and this was more appalling.
TV
The rest of the cast isn't bad, but I feel like their acting is a little over the top. Everything feels very dramatic when I don't think it should be. I am not mad at Olivia Williams or Emily Watson, but I just feel they are static in their actions. Their younger selves are better cast.
Video Game
Most of the characters are really well done. Blackwell's story is so good, and I really like his character. He, Solas, Cassandra, and Varric are outstanding characters. The story is my favorite of the series so far. Mainly there is a constant looming threat that sets up Veilguard so well.
Video Game
I hate this story though. Verric is being interrogated and is telling the story of the Champion of Kirkwall to someone from the Chantry. That's fine. However, there are 3 acts with 3 different bad guys and the first act and third act are barely tangentially tied together.
