Minor Characters

Expectations far exceeded!

I won't lie when I went into this series with very low expectations. Reading up on it beforehand it sounded like a dreadful idea, didn't fit with any current canon, and gave the impression it was going to be yet another reboot. How wrong I was!

The first thing you must know is that it is not a reboot, but is a new entry in the video game universe, taking place after Resident Evil: Village.

The lead cast all perform their parts perfectly, and if you're a real Resident Evil fan, the story will blow your mind.

The only things that really let it down are the quality of CGI, which I can say without any exaggeration, at points share the same quality with Sharknado.

The other thing that lets the show down is the acting for most minor characters. As I said, the lead cast were for the most part excellent, but at many points the terrible acting of a minor character will detract from an entire scene.

Overall though, a wonderfully pleasant surprise!

Enjoy!

Disappointing

I was so excited to finally get a sequel to one of my favorite games on PS3 and probably my favorite EA game of all time. The main problem though was that the game didn’t know what it wanted to be, it couldn’t decide if it was a sequel or a reboot and it couldn’t decide if it wanted to be an open world game or linear based. Definitely the biggest disappointment of the year, but still quite fun if you enjoyed the first game.

David McK (3547 KP) rated The Transporter Refueled (2015) in Movies

Mar 3, 2019

The first Transporter movie is pretty much the definition of a guilty pleasure, due in no small part to Jason Statham in the lead role and some impressive stunt choreography.

The second and third? Largely forgettable, almost completely abandoning the limits of plausability.

This one is, essentially, a reboot of the series: the same basic premise is there; the same reliance on car chases and brawls in roughly the same setting (the French Riviera) and even elements of the same plot, but this one sorely misses the almost magnetic personality of its original leading man.

Sigh. I was so excited for this movie. Following both the 2014 Godzilla reboot and Kong: Skull Island, I thought for sure we were in for a truly great franchise that gets the source material. The first attempt wasn't perfect by any means, but I thought for sure that they could learn from it and tighten up the screws. They tightened all the wrong ones.
Dialogue was awful, fights were incoherent, and an emphasis on hero humans was mind numbing.
I wanted so much more. Do better.

After Kingsman: The Secret Service director Matthew Vaughn left X-Men: The Last Stand because of its rushed production schedule, Fox decided to bring him back to direct this reboot of the series. Things worked well overall, though the introduction of James McAvoy as Professor X did draw some criticism. Michael Fassbender’s role as young Magneto went down very well but fans still missed the original actors. The film was nicely paced but without a compelling villain, the overall script suffered.
