Monarch: Legacy of Monsters: Will the Real May Please Stand Up? (2023)
Seriously ????
I was looking forward to this series but it's just turning into a talk fest. There is virtually zero monsters. Prob two minutes or so in the last 3 episodes. There is little action it's just exploring the characters past lives for some reason.
What is wrong with these writers are they not allowed to show the stars like Godzilla or is the budget only 100 dollars. I found myself fast forwarding thru all the chat because I don't care about these people.
Hoping something happens in the last episodes or it will have been a total waste of my time.
This seems to be a familiar line in sci fi series where it is all talk similar to the Invasion series.
Please can someone make decent sci-fi series.
Invasion (2021)
Talkfest
Worst alien invasion series ever.
The series was dragged out for ten episodes when it could easily have been three. The show was nothing but family problems and talking about the issues. The aliens themselves which decimated the planet were only seen singular. The first nine episodes only showed one alien at a time. Some kids from.the countryside went back to London only to find it completely empty of life. What happened to the population we have no idea. Yet despite this only single aliens were seen walking the streets.
The Japanese part of the series was a bore fest with absolutely nothing happening except talking.
Please can someone make a proper invasion series without the need for stringing it out.
The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020)
Another false show
Watched the first two series but now watching the third it seems to be getting more and more fake. We are still learning nothing with the exception that every 9nstruments they use seem to fail. All cameras went down at one time with the exception of the ones filming the show of course. There seem to be a lot of mysterious flying objects about but they don't have a powerful telescope to look at them.
I am really not convinced by the so called experts in the show who seem to be overacting. They always seem to think they are getting closer to the answers but never do. Really disappointed on how this show pans out
Just watched series 4 episode 5. They see a purple flashing light and set off to find the source. When they get there it's allegedly nowhere to be seen. But you can clearly see the same blue light illuminating the floor possibly due to bad editing. Avoid.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Strange New Worlds (2022)
Going downhill fast
The series was off to a good start.but now I'm really starting to get fed up with the spock relationship storyline. This is extremely boring and is slow an laborious. The last episode no 6 was awful with a ridiculous storyline. Pike escaped with no real effort although it failed to show how. How did dozens of heavily armed pirates manage to arrive on the flagship of the fleet.
Needs to really up its game to keep my interest and get rid of the spock love story.
The Silencing (2020)
Stupid stupid stupid
We have another film.with a good premise thst fails to deliver because of bad writing.
1 why was the sherrifs brother dressed as the killer ?
2 why did the hero not contact the police straightaway when he was shot with an arrow?
3 why would the killer target young girls and not drink drivers?
The whole film felt meaningless just due yo bad writing.
I could go on about the plot holes like how did the sheriff know where the camera where in area of fifty square miles
Watchable but don't expect a clever suspense thriller.
The Northman (2022)
Not sure where the hype came from.
Really looking forward to this film expecting a gladiator type film of revenge. What a disappointment.
A totally disjointed film with lots of mumbo jumbo spoiling the story.
It got to the point where I wanted it to end and when it did, nothing but just total relief it was over with.
This could have been a great film but the story and direction was awful,
Do not expect much from this movie.
Doctor Who: Legend of the Sea Devils (2022)
Fake doctor nearly gone
Only one more episode with the worst doctor by a country mile. Hopefully the those pathetic companions will go as well. This was another episode where I tried to watch but after ten minutes gave up again. The sea devils were total rubbish and just didn't work using the old models. Once again the fake doc was just running around waving the magic screwdriver.
Please BBC reboot this series with a proper doctor and delete all the JW episodes from history.
Expedition Bigfoot: Strange Returns (2022)
Fake fake fake
This series is getting ridiculous now. Every time they step near the woods they get the feeling of being watched. They also always hear noises, whistling or rocks being thrown. There must be thousands of bigfoots everywhere they go.
Guess what though no credible evidence is ever found.
Give it a wide berth.
The Curse of Oak Island (2014)
Nothing ever happens
I used to like this series but it is now just going over old news all the time dragging the episode out. I know what happened earlier in the series. I don't need to be reminded every few minutes. The narrator is shocking he reminds me of he one who used to end the old batman series in the sixties. He is like " a piece of wood at yhe bottom of the swamp" trying to make it sound exciting. Please condense yhe series into a dozen episodes.
Very annoying.
The Curse of Oak Island: Blast From The Past (2022)
Too.much recapping
Most of this episode is a recap of old episodes, really getting sick of the words"one week ago".
This must take up 20 mins of the entire episode, they could cut this series by about 7 episodes it's just dragging it out and not much happens.
Doctor Who: Flux: Chapter One - The Halloween Apocalypse (2021)
OMG this is pathetic
I was not looking forward to this after the shocking last two series but I though go on. I switched it on to be confronted by the false doctor and the companion hanging upside talking rubbish to one another. They then completed an escape that was farcical and possibly only CBBC viewers under five could stomach.
Needless to say the TV was turned over. I have had my fill of this garbage mascarading as Dr Who. Utter garbage.
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
How is it possible to make a film so bad??
I was looking forward to watching this movie but after an hour or so I switched off.
The storyline was so bad it was a complete mess. Pascal's acting was embarrassing and so over the top. The fighter jet scene to Cairo whilst trying to save the world but yet they had time to watch fireworks on route.
Please dont make any more garbage like this you have just killed off wonder woman.
Truth Seekers (2020)
Disappointed
I really like the pegg and frost duo and was expecting great things of thos series. However after watching the first 3 episodes I came away feeling I had tuned into CBBC. The episodes were very lightweight with almost no plot and no scares. Every character just seemed to be an oddball ie the father and sister. Questions arise like why would someone tune into a radio broadcast repeating the word one for twenty years.
This show must really be aimed at very young children if it wasnt for the occasional strong language.
Very disappointed.
Doom Patrol (2019)
Very different
I had never heard of this series but after reading the reviews I couldn't wait to try it. The first episode was the usual character introduction and I finished it very unsure. I got halfway thru the second episode and realised that the characters apart from the robot were extremely boring. The other stars were a gorgeous woman who's super power was to turn to fat. A woman who's numerous characters quickly started to annoy me and a bloke just wrapped in bandages.
Avoid at all costs.
Very disappointed
War of the Worlds (2019)
Terrible waste of time
Another bloated mess of a classic series. There is no other words for this shocker except boring beyond belief. This was nothing but 8 episodes of people talking with the occasional alien mechanical dog killing people.
Utter waste of my yime
Doctor Who (2005)
Shocking decline
This latest series has gone downhill fast. The standard of the stories is abysmal and tired. The actors are terrible Including Bradley Walsh who does nothing but look flummoxed. The overuse of the sonic screwdriver is embarrassing and lazy. The whole series needs revamping from beginning to end
Must do a lot better

The War of the Worlds (2019)
Disappointed
Really looking forward to this for months since I first heard about it. I tuned In very excited as it is one of my fave films. You cannot believe how bad I thought it was, I was so shocked how can you cock this up? Simple film to make just follow usual ingredients and your on a winner. However this was boring and poorly executed with the main scene at Horsell Common being terrible. The BBC have made a stinker.
A Star Is Born (2018)
Disappointing
I had high expectations of this movie but was really disappointed with the poor story line. Bradley Cooper just slurred his words throughout the movie even when he was supposed to be sober. Some of the songs were good but not great in comparison to the greatest showman. And the ending made no sense at all, overall what a waste.
Doctor Who (2005)

The Meg (2018)
Terrible movie
Obviously I wasn't expecting great things from this but I thought it may be fun. How wrong I was it was farcical and stupid from start to finish. After seeing the shark I spent the rest of the movie wishing they would hurry up and kill it.
Man of Steel (2013)
how bad is this movie
I just watched this film and could not believe how bad the second part got, how this got over 7 is stupid as this is one of the worse big releases in years. the second half was nothing but CGI special effects with all the humanity of the earlier films missing, I wanted the baddies to win it got that bad, I did not hang around for the end and the earlier films made this look like a complete load of rubbish. I just wanted the simpler and far better Christopher Reeve films back this is simply a poor CGI fest with a shocking storyline. How did this movie do so well it was boring
Back to the drawing board
Falling Skies: Strange Brew (2013)
gone downhill fast
I was really looking forward to the new series with the new aliens but what a disappointment its more like a soap opera with all the characters bickering between them selves rather than countering the alien threat. Aliens what destroyed the entire planet cannot deal with a few soldiers poorly armed this is a joke. The aliens could just destroy the city in one go like they did before and wipe out the soldiers end of story. This is more like corrie with an alien abduction background story
I will not be watching anymore as the poor storyline has killed another good premise
Falling Skies (2011)
standards slipping
i had high hopes for season three after the last episode of season two when the new aliens landed, What a cop out we got an alien on a horse and some fancier mechs but basically the same plots. These aliens wiped out the planet for gods sake but now they cannot get rid of a few civilians with guns in the city.
Why not nuke the city or whatever they did during the invasion if the humans are proving to be such a big problem
The writers are more concerned into making this into a soap opera rather than a believable sci fi series. The humans spend more time bickering amongst themselves than fighting and the whole series is now getting boring.
Lets get some proper story lines.
Les Misérables (2012)
Terrible film
This was a film I was really looking forward to but after an hour I was almost suicidal,The story is impossible to follow unless you have read the book or seen an earlier film and the constant singing was so annoying. It just seemed to jump from scene to scene without any explanation and the girl and the boy fell hopelessly in love after one glance in a crowded market. The later scenes during the riots were agonisingly long and I thought they would never end. The opening scenes in the prison never explained the relationship between the hero and villain.
This could have been a superb film but I would not recommend it to my worst enemy.
