- 4 knights of the apocalypse : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Knights_of_the_Apoca... The sequel to the really cool Seven Deadly sins, it is basically more of the same. Which I'm really happy with. The silliness is still there, but the huge DBZ stupid power up fights is not present (yet) like at the end of the 7 deadly sins and it takes the Arthurian lore but as an ebil organisation, which is nice concept. The first season slowly set up the 4 knights, based on the 4 riders of apocalypse, just like the previous show had the heroes based on the 7 deadly sins. The world building to explain us what Arthur did between shows is a bit lacking, but still enjoyable. 3.25 barks out of 5
- Elemental : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elemental_(2023_film) I have been not invested in watching that movie, which I could have watched a long time ago, because it looked so bland and it had bad reviews. Stuck on the plane for 8 hours, I had time to watch it (I did Wonka and expendables 4 too) and it is not good. The good is a great world building, I wanted to see more of the world, how the different elements works together and live. The rest... is not good. The characters are one dimensional (yes, it is kinda the point, but a bit of layer would have been good) and over the top (but not in a fun way), the story is predictable and boring. 2 barks out of 5
- Wonka : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonka_(film) I have never been really into Charlie and the chocolate factory (I watched both movies, but that all and they didn't really left any mark on me), so I don't really have any investment in any of the characters, don't know the lore or anything. After watching it, I don't feel it relate to the previous movies in any ways. It seems to be just a musical around chocolate and in a really silly world, quite the stand alone movie in general. I enjoyed the silliness and didn't paid too much to some of the totally unbelievable happening (got lots of stuff i can sell but I can't have money for a bed ?). 3 barks out of 5
- Fallout : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout_(American_TV_series) A huge nice surprise, this series has been really good. I have played a lot of Fallout games (but not all of them, only 1,2 and 4) and it is a really enjoyable universe, with a lot of silly references. I wondered how they would work things out in this series, but it was super impressive on how good it was. It is really well done visually (with lots of practical effects), interesting and deep characters, a mastery of the lore and original ideas to make it work all together. There is also secrets from the world that only big fans of the universe would have known here explained and shown in a really interesting way. There is so much good everywhere in this show, making it one of the best recently. 4.75 barks out of 5
- Rubble & crew (season 1) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubble_%26_Crew The spin-off of Paw Patrol isn't on Rocky, sadly, but on Rubble, the second to last pup from the main team to me. His backstory is really weird with this series, since he was introduced as an abandoned pup and the youngest on the team when he first started in Paw patrol... guess he got lost until Chase found his family back and they build an entire construction company. As I have said before, the latest seasons of Paw Patrol have started to get really repetitive and boring (still need to try to find the last few episodes of season 9 & 10 to review them, if anyone can help, it's welcome). This spin-off have been refreshing, with new characters, more fun missions and just a general change of scenery. The building laws and constructions make no sense (coffee Karl owns 4 different snacks bars and handle them all by himself), and the villain is not really one (and don't get really punished ever) but it has been fun. 3 barks out of 5
- Ninjago (season 14) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninjago:_Seabound It feel weird to write a 14 after a season number, but guess we are that old into a show. But there is only one season left after it, so I'm getting there with Lubu ! I was really sold on the concept on that season, for some reason (I really wanted some of the bad guys from that season to put in my lego star wars cantinas, but sadly they are sold for too much on the secondary market). The depths of the character development for some characters, especially for Nya, was really interesting despite being really predictable and unoriginal. 3 barks out of 5
- Expendables 4 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expend4bles I enjoyed all of the previous expendables movies, which I have seen at the cinema. But not this one. It didn't looked good, and if I didn't needed something I could watch in between sleeping on the plane back from Canada, I would have waited more to watch it. There is none of the crew, fun or action from the previous ones. There is too much Statham to work for an expendable movie and the rest acts really badly. 1.5 barks out of 5
- Wish : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wish_(film) Another really disappointing movie I waited for a long time to watch, because I was aware it wasn't good. The story is predictable, the songs are forgettable, the characters are bland, the general idea could have worked but is not served by the delivery... There is really nothing good to say about it. 2 barks out of 5
- Trolls 3 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolls_Band_Together The story of Justin Timberlake in a troll movie ? I was surprised to learn that fact, but it explains a lot. It's a critic of the music industry, references to boys' band all over. The songs are funny, the story is predictable but with all the hi jinks pretty enjoyable. There is... a lot of abdl jokes in it for some reason. I'll not get into details, but one character is "the baby" of the group. I had fun overall watching it. 3,25 barks out of 5
