Mothergamer (1568 KP) rated Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 in Video Games

Jan 20, 2020

I have a hard time playing FPS games, but I took a lot of breaks so I was able to play this game at my own pace. The story is good and I found it interesting. I feel like the game missed out however on not having a campaign. The zombie aspect was cool, but it wasn't anything groundbreaking. If you are big into COD games, you'll enjoy it. It's not a terrible game and I did enjoy playing it for what it was, but I feel there's other games out there that offer a little more.

I Just Don't Think I Get It

Don't know if it's just me, but I did not rate this program. Maybe the humour is too subtle/ dark/ deadpan, not sure, but try as I might, I just could not get into it. I did not laugh at the jokes, and found the dialogue very one dimensional (Not sure what I mean by that, just flat, I guess). I know a lot of people like it, so it must just be me, but was not into it. It's no Rick & Morty.

Book Rating

A good story that does not quite live up to its predecessor. I enjoyed the writing style, which is very descriptive and engaging. The narrator of the audiobook does a good job with the pace and cadence, bringing the characters and story to life. There was a lot of introspection on the part of the protagonist and the murder investigation subplot, while a bit mundane later becomes important; even so, too little, too late. I wish more time had been expended on delving into some aspects of the story that would have been much more interesting. All in all, a good sequel.

The way the books show cases the duality of human nature (0 more)

Everyone knows the basics of this story. In my opinion it is worth reading this story your self as although is it is only a short story there is a lot insight in human nature and it's duality. Once I had finished this book it left me think more about the duality of our nature.

This book's was written in the 1880's but it is well worth the read I would not recommend it for younger read as they may not have the patience with a book of this age

Movie Rating

As a massive fan of war movies I was expecting a lot from this one.
Unfortunately throughout the varied and bloody action I felt a disconnect that somehow pulled me away from the story and made the whole story seem bland.
Mel Gibson was as usual good but not great here and as stated the action was ok, however the only connection I felt was with the helicopter medic and the trauma he suffers making the many heroic sorties to rescue the injured.
Overall not a bad film, I just cannot recommend it based upon my viewing thoughts.

Movie Rating

I thought this movie was fine. I loved the chemistry between Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. I loved the use of color towards the beginning with Rachel McAdam's dress - it made her stand out in the blandness of everything else.

I just thought that the film was kind of slow and I'm not sure the plot made a whole lot of sense. It feels like this movie was just a stepping stone for the second one, to set up Moriarty and Holmes' rivalry.

It was a fine film. A good way to pass time, just not one I'll probably ever watch again.
