Thanks for the review - seems many people agree with the conclusions drawn. Personally, I'm very pleased I did not see this before watching the film, which I enjoyed. Having not played the games, I had no preconceptions and just enjoyed the fun. Cate and Ariana are excellent, whatever the role or lines given. Probably agree that Kevin Hart was not as memorable. I guess we have such very high expectations these days, but I still enjoy a simple fun adventure
Any episodes in particular stand out to you? I'm partial to the Tina episode in The Bear and Hughie's dad ep in The Boys that I mention. Wondering what others think, though.
in the novel shogun toronaga is not portrayed as "good" and the author tells us in the beginning that japanese have 3 faces and 9 hearts (rodriguez says it) but in the course of the novel you just feel toronaga just wants to survive a situation that is forces upon him but you see his greed and lust (buys the "lady of the night" omi is interested in for himself) and at the end he just shows that he actually wanted the shogunate despite what he claimed multiple times to his most trusted allies and in that moment you feel the betrayal of him sacrificing mariko not to save more lives as he claimed but actually to achieve his ultimate desire which is power and for that you feel shock and anger towards him
but i must add the beauty of the novel which is impossible to portray on camera ( because most of the novel is inner monologues) is that it shows us an accurate into the mind of people in general and it does it beyond the mere good and bad argument and is actually very realistic as no character in the novel is good or bad they are all gray.
@@hoomantay interesting. Makes sense, though. I imagine that feeling of deceit is a lot stronger when you've spent so much more time with Toranaga and his internal monologues, which even in the book, from what you say, are filtered. The 3 faces 9 hearts part is interesting, wish it got a bit more time in the show. We get flavors of it with Yabushige's dialogue about Toranaga's "secret heart" in the finale, and Mariko's mentioning of the eightfold fence, but I think more emphasis on that (and seeing examples of it) could have added to the political game-iness of the story in some ways.
I think season 2's pacing was pretty bad in that all the quick parts seemed too fast and all the slow parts seemed too slow. There are entire episodes that would have been 10 minutes in an episode at Season 1's pacing (which felt perfect to me) and other episodes that felt like they should have been two episodes with more more going on.
Honestly I can totally understand this criticism. The entire Thraxa segment particularly stands out for this problem of happening too fast, and though nothing is jumping out at me for things that dragged, I am confident I had that feeling in the first half of the season. Fair point that I wish I had been more on my mind as I was making this.
I actually watched this whole video without realizing it only had 18 likes, it honestly deserves so much more, I found myself agreeing with most of your points and it’s frustrating how little it’s being talked about
@@Roulette_Filmsignore him. Your points are valid and I agree with you. The action was short and somehow the 12yr old demigods knew solution to every problem which was so frustrating
Woah! Honestly if I had to chalk it up to anything it would be my own expectations being overinflated. Thought you and the rest of the cast delivered really strong performances all around and enjoyed more than I didn't. Thanks for watching, was not expecting an actual member of the cast to see this in a million years.
@@Roulette_Films honest reviews are very important for film-goers. Tickets cost a good amount of money! Thanks for taking the time to review the film and for the compliment! "Officer Hudson".
This is evil Repent of witchcraft and evil today Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus
Just how I personally felt. However, I would say that if She-Hulk is far and away the worst thing you saw the past year, you must've been pretty lucky with what you watched because there's much worse out there
@@Roulette_Films dude, you put it higher than thor and both being absolute sht still she hulk stinks more. This series mocks fans of marvel, completely rewrites she hulk character and worst of all the series are just one big ,,modern" message from creators
Really enjoyed your point that we know no team is coming for another team. Not something I thought of - the climax is set up to be separate, not to bring everyone together
I thought it was an interesting way of changing up the finales, which typically revolve around all the storylines (and their characters) colliding for them to all work together. With everyone separate, it feels fresh with high enough stakes to work
I actually enjoyed the movie, as a matter of fact, I’m actually writing my own Uncharted movie, but going in a different direction. But man I actually enjoyed the movie as a fan of the games, you should prewrite Uncharted 2 if this movie eventually gets a sequel.
Yeah. I really enjoy the games and think whatever sequel they do make will be at a better starting point than this movie. I think it'll happen, and I have found writing existing properties is a great exercise in better understanding characters and how they should behave in situations you put them into. Easier to understand first with existing characters than ones you'd be creating completely from scratch.
Great review! I agree so much- this movie was freaking amazing and one of my instant favs. I’m such a sucker for inherent compassion and caring of humanity stories (I can’t believe i cried at 2 rocks 😭)
Nicely made video 😁! I like your review style and agree with many of your opinions. Maybe there’s a universe where this movie was better lol. PS I was wondering if you still were taking commissions on your website?
Hey, glad you liked it, really appreciate that. And it’s definitely something I would consider, feel free to make a request and we could talk about it some more, or we can get in touch some other way.
Godzilla Vs Kong did the same thing with having a conspiracy theorist ultimately help the protagonists. At least that movie was more enjoyable than this.
