It's a banger up until Season 5.
Season 6 is basically all the plots from 1-5 recycled. Redemption (the TV movie) was a great little diversion. Season 7 was pretty good, as was 8. Never finished Live Another Day. Didn't bother with Legacy.

I knew Infinite would be shit when they started that whole thing about armour coatings and whatnot.
Customising your Spartan has been a key of the games for years. To slap that behind a paywall is (in my eyes) totally unforgivable.
We finished 24 season 2 last week and needed a bit of a palate cleanser, so stuck on Black Mirror season 6!
Joan is Awful was pretty good, but absolutely loved Loch Henry. Will probably crack on with that tonight.
We're switching from Virgin to Sky later this month (hopefully) so we'll actually have a wealth of TV shows to watch, including:
- Barry
- The Last of Us
- Succession
- Chernobyl
Open to suggestions!
Saw it last night and not sure how I feel. There's great stuff in here, some good stuff and some mediocre stuff. Overall I think I enjoyed it, but I think my criticisms can be summed up by:
-
When de-aging actors, more care should be put into matching their voice to their age. The de-aged Indy sounded ancient!
-
Chase sequences were far too long. I know that's a weird complain in an Indiana Jones film, but the reason for that is...
-
Overreliance on CGI. There's a chase sequence with some tuk-tuks in Tangier which drags on for quite a while. Despite spectacular things happening, the clear CGI renders them mundane and makes the chase feel fake. They could've cut down the length and scale of the chase, filmed it practically with stunt doubles and sets and it would've been brilliant.
-
Never ever, under any circumstances, should you underuse Antonio Banderas.
I haven't rewatched Crystal Skull in about a decade, so I don't know where I rank it overall, but it's not as good as Raiders, Temple or Crusade.
I wondered that and I'm glad I've avoided the .ml instance.
Almost every leftist space on Reddit was infected by tankies, hopefully they just stick to themselves (doubt).
But it's been 14 years of silence It's been 14 years of pain It's been 14 years that are gone forever and I'll never have again
Off to see the new baby of a family friend, but it's a good two hour drive away which is always fun with a 2 year-old in the car!
Apparently we're having a barbecue there, but my MIL has been spamming the family WhatsApp chat with screenshots of the weather app showing thunderstorms (she must've sent at least 5) so who knows what the plan is!
