Thanks for sharing this. By the way, I talked about this movie (after I reviewed it) with a friend of mine who also has a background with the church. She shared some great insights that added so much to understanding an underlying layer. She also went to a screening with a Q&A from the director and writer and basically everyone involved is Ex-Mormon (except for Hugh Grant). I really like the movie for working perfectly even without that knowledge - but appreciate it even more now. I probably should have talked to her before I did the review - but maybe that would have resulted in a lot of spoilers in the video.

@MichasBreakdown woah, if your friend was at the screening a few weeks ago in Salt Lake, I was also there 😲

@@LockeDemosthenes2 She is also from SLC, so I guess it was the same screening 🙂

@@alissagalyean1843 Yeah, I was thinking about that while scripting it. I’m pretty sure this is a weird one for you.

Yes, and on top of it, that family was also dysfunctional 😉

Greetings from Berlin 😊. Thank you, always happy to get feedback (especially positive 😁). Will keep the content coming.

While I am fine with wokeness, I totally agree on the bad writing and logical errors.

@MichasBreakdown i had no problem with interracial gay couples falling from the sky but anything beyond was unnecessary... they should have focused on the plotholes like how, when and which people arrived... civil war gold mayhaps? Also how come young Sam remembered what Riley told him at the beach, but somehow no memory of talking with Ty? It is one thing Gavin having his brain scrambled by this "mysteriuos biological coctail that somehow selectively erased memories", poorly enough, but Sam nor Scott not remembering hanging out with Ty? Bottle message through time worked well but why not just tell them "not to come here at this time because of reasons"? Also timeline should be linear and not paralell and not conviniently waiting out for plot to happen... I bet the writers were a bunch of young noobies not even seeing Back to the future...

Well, the overall acting didn't get better - and the scripts just became terrible. If you didn't even like the beginning, where there it still was bearable, it was a good decision to not further engage 😊.

While the CGI got better over time, at least a bit, the overall acting didn't evolve - and the scripts just became terrible. So it might be a wise decision to not further engage with the show, if you didn't even like the beginning - because there it still was bearable.

Overall, I agree, though the first season was still kinda watchable. But then ...

I didn't even think of that, but agree with it. I guess the other story weaknesses kept me from even going there. Thanks for sharing.

Though now that you mentioned it - thinking back I do remember while watching it how it bothered me. How everyone treated Gavin and how how they all loved Levi. And above all the fact that no one believed Gavin and just called him crazy, basically pushing him into alcoholism. Thanks for the reminder.

@@MichasBreakdown 👍

That's some interesting trivia. Thanks for sharing 😊

@MichasBreakdown Sure thing.

That's right. Fitting name - but also fitting for the show, as the later seasons were drawing me under and even though I didn't like much of it, I was "trapped" and kept watching, after having invested so much time in it already 😅.

True, the ending saved the movie from being below average. I really wanted to like it more, though.

I also thought it started out promising, but then things went downhill. For me, though, it was more about the story just being badly developed and then the acting followed suit.

Teaser got me curious, but after 10 mins of low quality CGI and woke/girlboss nonsense it appeared clearly it is a sh*t show... 30 minutes to understand the script is written by untalented woke writers, and the actors are low-grade. But you"re correct, 2.5/10 seems a very accurate mark. Even for the first episode.

I agree. It was utterly disappointing.

@@LaurentG-r8z I would give it one star. You're so kind. Lol.

Interesting take. I still feel that since they were in league with the demon creatures, they were evil. Ironically, they were promoting their own demise doing so.

I have heard good things about the animated Jurassic Park series. Might be worth a look.

I guess it is not your kind of show then. It surely isn't everyone's cup of tea. Thanks for commenting.

Definitely a great watch.

It for sure was an intense one. And true, she resembles her a lot.

Interesting take. They seemed to have toned it down a bit in the 7th chapter, though. The finale will be intense 😊

I guess that is part of it, agreed - but it doesn't cover all weird behaviour, at least in my book 😉

I think I will as well - in audiobook form, though 😊

Thanks, happy that you liked the review. I guess I liked the concept of this movie more than what they made out of it, so I was a bit more forgiving with the rating - but I totally get your score. At least, you didn't regret watching it, as it was a 4/10 for you, meaning "fine to be watched once" 😉.

I guess she just didn't recognize him looking that way - and as she wasn't aware of the whole situation, she couldn't even consider it to be him. At least that is my take on it 😊

I think she did know. He straight up told her to go back to her daughter (by name) She didn't respond in a way someone would if a creepy stranger knew that info

Well, she will not - now that she knows even more than we expected her to know. I guess there is no talking himself out of that - except for saying they lied and he was playing them, but I guess she would never fall for that. So, yes, she will not handle it well 😉

Hmmm, as far as I remember, the name Kaplan was not used in WandaVision. I know, he is now credited this way in Wikipedia, but I think he is a new character, mainly because there was no possession going on with her kids in WandaVision. They, like Vision, were created by magic and vanished when the hex ended. In the comics, Kaplan is the reincarnation of her kid, so I guess this will be the explanation. We will likely learn about his story in the next chapter (in a few hours).

That is a good description, actually. Nice callout.

Happy to hear you liked it. I guess it just ended up not being what I was looking for or hope that it would be.

I watched it at a festival, but as far as I can see, it will be available on Blu-Ray in Sweden, Norway and so on in two weeks. With rights also held by StudioCanal, it should show up as Digital release as well soon. Hope this helps.

Oh, I didn't even noticed that. Nice catch. And a good reminder that I should keep watching the show. Had hit the pause button for a while now.

Happy that you liked it. And thanks for watching 🌞

Nope, but let me know what you want to know there - and I will send you a spoiler 😉

True, and it really helps the character, that you don't even see the actor when looking at him.

Thank you for saying that 🌞

Thanks. That is true. Which reminds me: I might want to rewatch the "God's Army/The Prophecy" franchise 🤔

I watched it at a festival. So far I can only see it being available in France on Apple TV, with only French subtitles. If that works for you, check it out. If not, as they have it available digitally, I guess it should be showing up worldwide soon. Hope this helps.

Happy that you enjoyed the movie. I also did - the end just didn't work for me.

Let's wait and see. So far, I only think this may apply to the first episode, but who knows what lies ahead. So far, the show seems to revealed that in WandaVision she truly was the villain (which I doubted - thinking that as she is Wanda's mentor in the comics, maybe she was just testing her - or at least meant to do that in the beginning). My best guess, though: While she may get worse on the Witches' Road, at the end I believe she will have turned from the (kind of relatable) villain to an antihero - or maybe even a proper good person. Time will tell us soon.

Yes, I think there was a lot of ego involved for her to get that job back instead of aiming higher. By the way, the scene that bothered me was the one on stage close to the end, which was so cartoonishly exaggerated and didn't meet the tone the rest of the movie presented. It felt out of place, just to rub an additional message in. Happy, though, that it still worked fine for you. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I am happy that you liked my review, even though you didn't agree with all of it. This is refreshing and absolutely the way conversations should be led. Thanks for that as well 🌞

@@MichasBreakdown Yeah I agree. Plus, it seemed that she took her old job back because that's what she's always known, and her slimy boss is who she seems to know the longest in her career, so it's a comfort thing. That's what I got from that anyway. Yeah, I Immediately thought it was that scene that bothered you. It did go to a level of camp, especially when some of the people stood up and started pointing and yelling at her (it was a weird tone), but I did like the scene. I think it worked for me coz it intertwined with the flashbacks from those talent judges saying all these criticisms. You hear them say stuff like 'she should have her boobs upto her face' or it was something similar to that and, well, the creature did. So she thought 'well, I finally meet the criteria of what they're expecting in terms of beauty'. But she now looks like...well, a creature. I can definitely see why you didn't like the scene, as it did reach a campy tone though. That's ok. And that's alright; I loved the film, but I definitely understand the criticisms of it too. And yeah, it's important to have nice conversations like this, especially with how social media discussions usually tend to go xD

Happy that you like it. The first two seasons are pretty solid. I just rewatched my video from 3 years ago. My style changed a lot. Would I do it again today, I likely would try to be a bit less mean - though I would stand by the ratings I gave. I think, with a proper budget, that could have been a great show throughout its entire run - and not just solid for the first two seasons. Let me know once you caught up if you agree that the quality was declining with each season. I do hope, though, you will be able to enjoy it more than I did 😊

@@MichasBreakdown I’m watching the episodes a little out of order and agree the quality of the show does dip. Although, still very happy I found this. Considering how some of these stories were published in ec comics, and now knowing the first couple of seasons were done by hbo, it’s like I’m watching a prequel to Tales from the Crypt. I especially loved “there was an old woman.” If you took that episode, added some gore and curse words, it would fit perfect with TftC.

Yes, there were some solid ones in the beginning. After all that time it took me to get through them, I honestly don't remember much about that particular episode, though. I might rewatch that one. Thanks for sharing that detail.

Happy that you liked the show. Even though there are no new episodes, you can always rewatch it.

I agree. There are rare exceptions, like Carpenter's The Thing, which was a great remake. But to be a remake that is worth our while, you really have to get a new angle and tell us something different.

Thank you. Happy that you enjoyed it 👍

Happy to hear you liked the show. It just wasn't my cup of tea. The good news: As it had a proper ending, you can rewatch it without getting frustrated by a cliffhanger ending.
