NickVery fun show. Alan Tudyk is such a talent and so underrated.
NickWatch this on @robpaulstonernerd recommendation. Strong cast. Guy Richie has some good stuff and this is one of them.
NickTedious dialouge. Grinds along on screen. I love the written works of Anne Rice, but the small screen is a no for me.
NickFantastic series, great cast, great 80's feel. So why the low rating? Well, the ending of S2 E7 was crap. Since HBO canceled the series, they just threw in a bunch of PowerPoint slides explaining how everything shaked out. Truly disappointed in HBO.
NickA rewatch. I always notice something new in movies I have seen more than once. Now, it's a possibility that this is due to my aging memory. Love or hate Mel Gibson as a person, this movie is still fantastic. Historical fiction at its best. You also notice supporting actors that have gone on to have great careers when you rewatch several times over several years, like Brendan Gleeson as Hamish.
NickSo John Cena and Jackie Chan have a film together, what could go wrong? Well....a lot. Both are great actors known for their comedic action roles. The problem is the writers tried to add comedy to this movie as an afterthought and it dulled what could have been a much better movie. Also jumping back and forth from Chinese to English was poorly executed. This only got 3 stars out of respect for 2 great actors given badly written roles.
NickWatched 1st season since Max had it streaming. Slow paced, great cast. Good storyline. Would watch the 2nd season if I find it on one of my streaming services.
