Hollywood Movie Review Series:

*Movies are in no particular order. Please use Crtl F on your keyboard to find a particular movie. Movies that got a wide release in the year after their first screening are listed in the next year. For example, 300 (2006) is listed in 2007 because it only got a wide release in 2007.

*Don't worry about spoilers. You can read the review of any movie without being afraid of spoilers and enjoy the movie if you watch it. I intentionally made sure not to ruin a movie by revealing a hidden plot or hidden climax scene. I simply pass or fail each scene and comment on them.

Acting: Fail

Fail of all acting.

Comments:

Fail of intro. Could have worked without the narrated intro with better shots.

Fail of priest talk scene.

Fail of journey scenes.

Fail of hiding scenes.

Fail of ship scene.

Directing and acting is terrible.

Cultures killing religions and religions wiping out cultures is nothing new.

Japanese villagers begging White priests to forgive them of their sins. Always nice to see cultural and religious Western-European hegemony in action. Then again, some visible minorities see the White Christian god as superior to all the “other” gods.

Always nice to see the White man saving visible minorities from themselves. Well done Hollywood.

Fail of renouncing foot scenes throughout.

"Renounce or the others die." Not a fair world.

Excellent Japanese talk capture scenes throughout, but not enough to pass.

Fail of courtyard talk scene.

And the heads begin to roll…literally.

Just so you know, forcing someone to refute their beliefs upon pain of death/torture isn't a real conversion. Anything under duress is worthless.

Decent old man scenes throughout.

Fail of drowning scene.

Fail of meeting scene.

Fail of climax scene.

"Swamp of Japan." Oh dear.

Fail of ending.

This could have been a great movie with better writing, directing, acting.

Decent climax scene, but not enough to pass.

Excellent ending.

Good directing.

$8 million box office revenue on a $90 million dollar movie (not including marketing). Holy f*ck. I haven't seen such a box office bomb since The Adventures of Pluto Nash with $7 million revenue on a $100 million dollar movie.

But this movie shouldn't have cost $90 million to make.

Open Road Films has money to burn. Not really since they went bankrupt in 2018 and got bought out by Raven Capital Management in 2019.

I Got Stopped by a NY Cop: 'It's Always a Good Day When You Can Bag a Sand N*gger!'

Garbage weird creature fight scene.

Fail of music for funeral scenes. Just terrible.

6 minutes into the movie and I have to ask, is Hollywood even trying to make a decent movie anymore?

Kicking over fruit in slow motion. Really?

All the tribes of men. You mean peoplekind? as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says.

Justin Trudeau apologises for 'dumb joke' after 'peoplekind' quote goes viral

Fail of Aquaman and hot guard woman talk scene.

Is that supposed to be Jim Gordon? You must be joking. Fail of Gordon rooftop scene.

You know, it would have made more sense to use an Asian actor as The Flash. But Hollywood would never allow an Asian actor to be a mainstream superhero, even if it’s a second tier one. Maybe in 10 years we'll see a Black batman. Then 5 years after an Asian Flash.

Flash is a p*ssy? That's news to me. In the cartoon he's super overconfident.

Fail of attack scene.

Fail of all fighting scene cinematography. Complete failure.

Fail of climax scene.

Fail of ending.

One of the worst movies of all time. This movie shouldn’t have made $1.00. The fact that it made over $600 million proves that God does NOT exist.

Fail of post credit race scene. Wasted comedy potential.

And in the end we learn that only superheroes can save the day. Well done Hollywood. Typical Illuminati movie part of their superhero savior program.

Oh yes, let's look into his mommy issues. Sigh.

Fail of garage scene.

And we're back into submissive sex. Lovely. Amazingly, crazy feminist interpret submissiveness as empowerment.

Comments:

Fail of intro.

Dystopia too stupid.

Fail of all op mission scenes throughout.

Fail of eating attack scene.

Fail of almost every scene. Complete train wreck and insult to ghost in the shell fans.

While I'm sure that the rights holders to Ghost in the Shell got paid well for giving up the live action movie rights, it wasn't worth it. Just as the live action of Death Note on Netflix in 2017 was a bad idea. After maybe two minutes I stopped watching. I couldn’t let it ruin my image of the Death Note anime, which is brilliant. The same is true for the live action of Cowboy Bebop in 2021 on Netflix. A disgrace to anime fans like myself.

Fail of writing and acting.

A typical Illuminati movie showing potential plans/goals for humanity. Lovely.

Fail of all fight scenes throughout.

Fail of all intel scenes throughout.

Even the nice special effects had no chance of passing this garbage movie.

Fail of climax scene.

Fail of ending.

Comments:

Fail of intro. Gal Gadot shouldn’t do narrated dialogue. Period. Not hating, but it had to be said.

Another Illuminati movie. Then again, all superhero movies are Illuminati movies. Of course, on another level, any movie that gets a wide release could be considered an Illuminati movie since it serves their interests in some manner.

Fail of all Amazon scenes. It's looks like garbage. But the idea of empowered women is very good. But the implementation in this movie is garbage.

Fail of magical land protection. Nonsense.

Fail of all island scenes throughout.

Fail of all Nazi fight scenes throughout.

Bow and arrows against guns. Are these women cracked in the head? That didn't work well for the Aboriginals/Native Americans. Why should it work in this magical land?

Were the studio executives, producers and writer on crack cocaine when making this movie? Because it would explain a lot.

Hollywood doesn’t even need to try anymore since a Marvel stamp will bring in at least bring in half a billion or more.

Jeff Goldblum. Wow. Nice to see you. Been awhile. Shame your character is garbage.

Hey, the guy from Game of Thrones and Narcos (Pedro Pascal). Nice to see you on the big screen.

Fail of campfire scene.

"The moon is strong." Oh dear. Are you referring to the moon as an artificial satellite and Illuminati base relative to the red and golden dragon bloodline in China? Just sayin.

Fail of cinematography.

Fail of campfire attack scene.

This movie looks very expensive.

Fail of all Matt Damon scenes throughout, which is pretty much the entire movie. His acting destroys the character.

Only the White man can kill demons by himself? Just admit you believe that you're superior and that the Chinese are inferior. We know the character is thinking it.

Wasted comedy potential in all scenes. But then again, this is an action movie.

He can't find the key so they go to the wall. Are you cracked in the head?

Nice structure scenes throughout. The Asians are master builders. Shame they built ghost cities for nothing.

The Unreal, Eerie Emptiness of China's 'Ghost Cities'

China's Largest Ghost City Is Now Almost Completely Full - But There's A Twist

'Ghost towns': Evergrande crisis shines a light on China's millions of empty homes

You should see the time-lapse of a building going up in China.

Headgear as a shield. Points for creativity.

Good White men demon creature battle scene. Well done.

Fail of night talk scene.

Fail of feast scene.

All I see is a White man who has more skill than the tens of thousands of Chinese warriors. Was that the purpose of the movie? For the Chinese to regard White men as superior?

Easily predictable movie. But that's the case for most movies. Template cut and paste style of writing.

Fail of night talk scene.

Remind the Chinese when greed is unchecked. Oh dear god.

The past story scene looks like it was made in a 3d modeling program like Blender or Maya.
