CoD 2, 4, MW2 and Titanfall 2 were some of the best cinematic gaming experience.
#RianJohnson is another director that still has this spark. The last #KnivesOut #movie shows that. And it would've been a pretty great movie, if it hadn't been the third movie. And #WakeUpDeadMan is still a good movie, but it will always be compared to the previous two movies. Unfortunately, the comparison is not in its favour. But let it not discourage you from watching it.
I like the movies when the director is having fun while filming it. #JamesGunn is one of them. I can't say I liked the last #Superman #movie, but I could clearly see that it was done with passion.

Oh, I liked the #Wachowskis when they were still brothers.
I never really liked #Lanthimos' films (except maybe #TheLobster) and I was hesitant to watch #Bugonia.
Bur It was actually not bad. For once, Lanthimos' movie has an ending (instead of 2+ hours of absurd for the purpose of absurd 😅).
Somewhat predictable ending, but an ending nonetheless 🙂
The camera work is consistently terrible, but also consistent with his previous movies 😅
But overall, I liked it. The second movie of his I liked.
The second season was different. It wasn't bad, but I can only describe it as a sequel. The intro dance wasn't as catchy, but I grew to love it after a few episodes. The story was more dramatic and had stronger links to the comic book chaos. I'm kind of glad there won't be a third season, at least not for a while.
With the release of #Peacemaker S02, I've decided to rewatch the first. It's still great. The only issue with the series is - Adebayo. Why do they need this Melissa McCarthy type character?
It would be the only reason why I'd rate it 9/10, an otherwise an amazing season of an underwhelming #DCEU movie franchise.
P.S. but that John Wick shit in the last episode was dope as fuck :D
I have finished the #ULTRAKILL demo - what a #game! It's exactly what the new #DOOM games should have been: fast, fun and simple. And not collecting batteries and upgrading the suit 😬
I'm definitely getting the full game after I finish with some other games in my backlog 😎
I first saw The Revenant when it was released digitally, but I couldn't finish watching it on TV in one go. I thought it was boring and monotonous and that it was made especially for the Oscars 🤢.
Having now watched it on the big screen as part of a 'classic' programme at my local cinema, it was a completely different story. The visuals and camerawork alone are worth watching it for. But only on the big screen.
8/10
I found the soundtrack to #NeedForSpeed #MostWanted, and it's probably the best #NFS #soundtrack ever. I would probably never listen to most of the songs on their own, but because they were part of the game, I can't stop enjoying it even 20 years later after playing the game. #Hyper, #TheProdigy, #Celldweller, #Ils, #BT, #StylesOfBeyond and more...
I tried watching #TheStudio, a show that has received a lot of praise. Its IMDb rating is even 8+. But what the hell?
I managed two and a half series, but I couldn't watch any more. Seth Rogen's character is simply disgusting. Probably to the same extent as the real, backstabbing #SethRogen. Weak, spineless and pitiful.
I don't understand why it's so highly rated and gets so many recommendations.
And why do they keep adding kids to the story? It's always the same: a kid gets involved in a car race with guns until death, or accidentally ends up on an island full of dinosaurs. Of course, it's a rebellious teenager. But some adults who don't even know the kid have a soft spot for the idiot, and everyone keeps doing stupid things all the time. And somehow, these projects get the green light! Worst writing ever.
1.5/2
On the plus side, Sweet Tooth, voiced by #Arnett, is still the highlight of the show, and there was one episode that didn't suck: Diesel City.
2/2
The #TwistedMetal S02 is probably the worst second season of anything I have ever watched.
The first season was surprisingly light and fun, despite #Mackie being cast as the lead character. In fact, I think this was the first time he didn't act like a piece of cardboard.
But all that was ruined in the second season. Mackie reverted to playing Mackie, the story was full of idiotic drama, and everyone made stupid decisions constantly (lazy writing). And they've added a kid!
1/2
There's still not enough content for the radio stations to fill just the campaign; it gets repetitive. Even the bugs are exactly the same. All in all, it could have been a Mexico DLC. I don't understand why it's being sold as a new game.
I don't believe that the next game in the series will be any different, but the rumour is that it will take place in Japan, so I will probably buy the same game for the third time 🥲.
2/2
Speaking of #ForzaHorizon, I recently finished playing FH5, which is supposedly the best game in the series. It may have the highest number in its name, but apart from the new map, it's essentially the same game as FH4. It has a big open world, lots of different cars that are mostly the same, weird physics that allow you to climb mountains in hypercars on slicks, an underwhelming campaign with terrible voice acting, and a couple of mediocre DLCs.
1/2
#Xbox generated me this #gamertag (that's how they call it in console world, right?) when I started playing #ForzaHorizon, and I decided to stick with it.
I'm not very into the idea of the social media (mainly why people post something for strangers to read 😅). But lately I found myself sharing the same thoughts between several people in the #Signal, and this will be my little experiment if I can social media instead.
