David McK (3222 KP) rated Sharpe's Gold (1995) in Movies
Sep 11, 2022
1995 TV adaptation of the Bernard Cornwell novel of the same name, although this one - in particular - seems to have nothing in common with that novel except the name and, perhaps, the fact that it involves Aztec gold in Spain!

Excellent fight choreography (1 more)
Good casting choices
Terrible plotline (1 more)
Bad scriptwriting
Pretty Decent Adaptation
The best element of the Assassin's Creed film adaptation has to be the fight choreography. It was so skilfully done to the best of the choreographers', stunt doubles', and actors' abilities, and it paid off. The casting choices were also commendable as Michael Fassbender was the perfect choice for the leading role of Cal and I am unable to picture anyone else playing that role. But I have to admit, the plotline and the writing weren't up to modern film standards; meaning they completely fell through. I love this film, but if it was written better with a much better plotline, it would not go into the 'bad film adaptation' pile. Overall, I wouldn't call this an award-winning film, but it is very entertaining to watch and the fight scenes are incredible.

Awix (3310 KP) rated The Lovecraft Investigations in Podcasts
Feb 12, 2021 (Updated Feb 15, 2021)
Mock true-crime podcast adaptation of three of Lovecraft's best-known stories, scripted and directed by Julian Simpson. Achieved in impressive style, and genuinely frightening in places. Purists will be within their rights to complain about the way in which the stories are updated, and the extent to which the adaptation becomes progressively looser and looser as the series continues - but the inclusion of other real-world esoterica and conspiracy theories is impressively done. The tone wobbles slightly in places, but the performances are uniformly strong and it's done with wit and intelligence. One of the best HPL adaptations in any medium.
Movie Critics (823 KP) rated My Cousin Rachel (2017) in Movies
Jun 21, 2017
As a bold, beautifully photographed examination of desire and madness, Mitchell’s My Cousin Rachel is a dutiful, worthwhile adaptation, even beyond its lumpy pacing and mostly straightforward story mechanics.
