I watched this movie on Amazon Prime.

I was 6 years old when the original Twister movie came out. In fact it's one of my earliest theater going memories and it was fun and scary for little kid me back then. I was finally able to watch it again many years later and realised just how great of a film that is!

then they went and tried to make this legacy sequel nearly 20 years later and it's. Meh. The chemistry of the cast is not like the original, none of the characters or cast from that first film return. Unless you count "Dorthey" and even "she" is only in like the first part of the movie.
The characters are likable enough. But it's clear whoever made this movie did not do their research right. That or they just went with pure spectacle over reality.
Like the wind and things the tornados do and how they effect objects, and especially people. Is almost nothing like reality. The movie is also filled with a lot of smart sounding science jargon to try and make you think the writers are smart. But it's really dumb.

In the end though, it's still a fun movie to turn your brain off to and vedge out. It's not really a bad movie either. So I give it a solid 3 out of 5 stars. For it's just OK. A bit fun here and there. But it's just OK.

Mistake Status: I probably won't do this one or the first. Just not my cup of tea.

I watched the first two seasons on Netflix.

This show had potential, it really did. I've never actually played the Witcher games, nor read any of the books. So I went into this with minimal knowledge about the IP and no prior attachment.
Henry Cavil is great casting as Geralt and a lot of the rest of the cast are good also. Season 1 is a bit of a mess as they try to do the Chris Noland thing and jump around all over the place on the timeline back and forth. I could follow it for the most part, but it did get confusing at times. But a good enough story
Season 2, they thankfully kept much more linier and the story was really good. I was actually invested in what was going on. And at the time of finishing season 2 I was looking forward to seeing what came next. Which then they did that Nightmare of the Wolf animated Witcher movie. That was great! I liked that one a lot.

and then... the drama happened. I don't remember the full story but basically they took it in directions Cavil didn't like, finally he walked from the project and they recast Geralt. Hearing this, and how they were then changing and butchering the story going forward. I did not continue with the series. Yeah Cavil was did play in season 3, but the problems had already started and we already knew by that point he was recast for season 4. So I didn't bother with season 3 and beyond. And I doubt I'll go back. I got other things to watch.
I only watched the first two seasons, and then the Nightmare of the Wolf animated movie.. and left it at that.

I watched this movie on Disney +.

So. This movie started out as a TV series, but like a lot of Disney sequels... got the dreaded curse of having the show canceled and like 3 of it's epoxides mashed together into a movie. And boy does it show. The animation in this one is good, if not better than the first considering how much later it was made. But the story is bad. A lot of the plot kinda goes no where. And wow there's a damn song every few minutes. It's practically a musical. I know Disney movies have a lot of songs but this one is ridiculous. There's already a paper thin story as it is, but then they pad the run time with song after song after song.

I watched this movie a month or two ago, as of writing this review. And I've already forgotten a lot of what they actually did in this movie. It's forgettable, bland, badly paced, and the mish mash of TV episodes together bring it down bad.
This is an easy skip. 2 out of 5 stars. Did not like it.

I think I saw this in theaters, and I watched it again on Disney +.

I would say this is more of a 3.5 star out of 5 but can't do half stars here. This movie is all right. I like it plenty enough but it's not like amazing or anything. It's a fairly middling Disney movie with some fun and likeable characters.
Is this supposed to be in a fictionalized version of Earth that only has ocean and islands though? that part is kinda confusing. Is there a main land? it's never really said.
But it's an island hopping ocean adventure. I used to play Sea of Thieves a lot and this reminds me of some of the fun I had in that game. So yeah, there's nothing really bad about this movie, but it's like not gonna change the world amazing. A fun family watching if you got nothing else.
Go watch Atlantis though from Disney. Now that's a good ocean movie.

I watched this movie on Amazon Prime.

Wow... just wow. Where do I even start with this one? You know there's few movies that make me cringe or I actively hate when watching. This is one of those. I can now definitively say that the 2025 War of the Worlds is officially the second worst movie I've ever seen. Transformers: The Last Knight, is still my number one worst ever, but this War of the Worlds has now knocked Future War (1997), down from my #2 spot to #3 as my worst ever films.
And if I didn't absolutely hate what The Last Knight did to Unicron in that movie to where I was seething with rage watching it. Well this may have become my worst ever. The Last Knight is still my worst though, for now.
Anyways I'm meandering.

This movie is bafflingly bad. The entire film is just one big mess of plot hole, stupidity, factual errors... and tech magic mumbo jumbo made by someone who has no idea what the hell they are talking about or anything real about computers and cyber security.
Casting Ice Cube as the lead, has to be one of the dumbest, worst casting choices in the history of movies. Don't get me wrong... I like Ice Cube plenty enough if he's given the right role. He's sort of like Keanu Reeves in that way, you gotta give him the right role to excel. Though Keanu still has way more acting talent than Ice Cube.
Ice is good I somethings... like 21 Jump Street. He's funny and fitting for a role like that. A supporting character. I haven't seen Friday in ages but he was good in that.
But putting him as the lead in a serious alien, sci-fi, spy thriller with family drama? He is laughably horrible here.
We're supposed to believe this guy is like one of the top or is the top hacker and tech guy for DHS, when the stuff he spews is nonsense. And his acting for serious family moments is horrid. And when it comes to reacting to or talking about the alien threat... this dude just can't act. "Take your intergalactic asses back home! Back home!" or "A hell nah! " is the entire movie.
This is reaction channel the movie, except you're not even watching anything interesting with the reaction channel. Almost the whole movie is Ice Cube staring at a computer screen, spying on his family like a creep, and then having those Ice Cube moments at aliens attacking.

The special effects in this movie look like they were done on Adobe After Effects... from 15 years ago! Seriously, the lightning effects and alien crafts. I could do this in my Advertising Design Class in high school 15 years ago. This is a 2025 movie...

Well technically. Apparently this movie was actually made in 2020, back during the Covid. Then Universal just shelved it, passed it off to Amazon, and now Amazon is finally putting it out. Hence why there's so much damn Amazon product placement.

The acting is terrible, the plot makes no sense, the alien goal of eating data is moronic. The writers don't know how the military works, they don't know how cyber security and surveillance works. Hell, they don't even know how freaking computers work! and this ENTIRE movie is a dude looking at computer screens and yelling "Ah hell nah."

This movie makes my head hurt... so much so it's hard to do mistakes in it, but man I'm pushing through.

This is easily a 1 out of 5 starts. For I Hate It! It's right up there with Transformers: The Last Knight and Future War as the worst movies I've ever seen. Unless you're a masochist and want to suffer, or you want to see just how bad this movie really is... or if you're crazy enough to be like me and watch it for mistakes. Skip this turd bucket. Man it's hard not to cuss like a sailor in this review about this movie... Go home Ice Cube. You're drunk
Is he broke?

seriously... is Ice Cube broke? Why did he do this crap...

and even Clark Gregg felt like he was phoning it in the whole movie... which technically he was since he's only ever on a video call in the movie. He's better than this as I'm currently watching the Agents of Shield show and he's great in that. He's bad in this... really bad.


Mistake Status: Ugh, yeah this is currently my main movie project for the time being. And it's a real struggle to get through. I have a long ways to go... at the time of writing this review, I'm already at 27 mistakes. And I'm not even 5 minutes into the movie. The vast majority of those being tech fails with factual errors and... they have a cross walk camera showing it's coordinates as the middle of the pacific ocean... I can't even with this film...
yes this is my current main movie project. And normally this is where I'd stake my claim and hope people don't jump on trying to do this movie till I finish. But as bad as this film is, by all means if you wanna jump in and help me rip this one apart. Be my guest.

Side Note: this has sparked my interests in doing more of the War of the Worlds adaptations for mistakes so i'll do those. I really love the 2005 Tom Cruise movie. and as of writing this review, I've never seen the 1950s original yet. Also turns out there's a 2012 series that has 3 episodes I didn't know about, and a 2020 series with 8 episodes... I will probably try to check those out at some point also.

I watched this short on Disney +.

So I've started just clicking on a few of these old shorts on Disney + here and there and giving them a watch. Most of them are like 5 to 15 minutes long, so don't take up much time, like this one. I had watched a couple in this series already. Turns out this is I believe the 3rd of 4 or 5 shorts in a series of 3 little pigs shorts. I think I've watched all of them now just as something to have on.
Really this particular series is nothing special, they just wanted to take the old nursery rhyme of the 3 Little Pigs and make it animated...and then made sequels lol. A lot of other Disney shorts from that era were a lot more interesting and thought provoking. This is just a simple cartoon. At least in my opinion. Not great, not bad, just... OK.

Mistake Status: Notice a factual error in how the gun in this works, being a single shot flint lock. Other than that, wasn't really watching it close enough to find mistakes. But I am considering doing some of these Disney shorts here and there for mistakes. If I feel like it.

I used to watch this show on Saturday Moring TV Cartoons.

I remember watching this a lot as a kid. Was pretty fun and cool. Even had some of the cards for a while! I really need to find where those got stashed... As I had a holographic, first edition Relinquished... that was misprinted! If it's at all still in good condition if I could find them, it might be worth something.

Anyways, I liked this show a lot as a kid, and I think I saw just about every episode back then. I admit I've not seen it since I was a kid but have fond memories. Might revisit it at some point. The idea of bonding with a pharaoh and kicking ass in a card game with mystical items and banishing to the Shadow Realm (come on we all know it's Hell), is really fun.
I also always thought it was funny that the voice of said Pharoah was the same guy who voiced Knuckles in Sonic X. To the point it actually a little distracting at times when I was watching Sonic X, as I kept expecting Knuckles to send Eggman to the Shadow Realm or tell Sonic he had activated his trap card! lol

It's also ironic that despite my parents throwing a fit back then, about Pokemon being demonic and making kids hyper and violent, that I was allowed to watch this show. Then again, it's not like I told them what this show was. Also it had the benefit of being card battling instead of creature battling so they were more willing to give it a pass.

So yeah, Yu-Gi-Oh is a fun watch, and I should revisit it some time.

Mistake Status: Nah, no interest in tackling this series. And Casual Person already seems to have it covered.

I own this series on DVD.

I didn't even know this show existed. I was going through The Civitan (it's like a Goodwill but smaller), in the movie section and found this series all neatly bundled together. 9 different DVD cases, all bundled together in saran wrap and being sold for about $10. It was 8 seasons and a bonus DVD. I didn't know what the show was, but reading the back it had me intrigued. A WWII mystery detective thriller? Huh. Well it's cheap, in good condition, so I bought it.

I loved this show! it's like if Sherlock Holmes was a military police detective in World War 2 England. The first several seasons of which being set during WWII, with the last one or two seasons being post WWII at the start of the cold war with Russia.
Saying seasons is a bit of a misnomer though, as it's more of a British series. As each "season" is only 3 or 4 episodes that are movie length. Yet it's an engaging watch that had me glued to my screen.

There's a lot of real WWII history injected into the show, and a lot of care was taken to make things period accurate. I even learned a lot from the show, and I do love me some WWII movies and shows. I'm really glad I decided to pick this up from The Civitan, and has turned out to be one of my best purchases from there.

Mistake Status: Well I loved this show and I own it on DVD. So heck yeah I plan to do a hard deep dive and comb every frame for mistakes. It will be fun.

I watched this show on Amazon Prime.

Talk about being great starting out then dropping the ball in the last couple seasons. To me The Expanse failing it's finale is to what other people say about Game of Thrones.

This show wasn't even on my radar until my dad brought it up to me. Around that same time, Shadiversity was also talking highly of it in a few videos, so me and my dad decided to watch it together.
It starts out really good, high quality hard sci-fi. Keeps a good space mystery going, setting up various factions and their conflicts, with compelling characters. Well done science and ship combat.
However it really starts to fall off in season 4, and I'd almost say season 5 is mostly bad, with the ending being especially terrible and underwhelming.

Mistake Status: I may do this one at some point. But probably not, considering I have other shows I wanna work on.

I watched this show on Amazon Prime.

Starting out, I wasn't sure I was ever going to actually watch this show. It seemed kinda interesting to me, but I had put it on my backlog with other things taking priority. However, my dad is writing his own books and series of space opera called Eden Galaxy Chronicles. People kept giving him feedback that the way he had different factions, governments and planets interacting with each other and his characters was a lot like Game of Thrones, but in space.
He heard that enough times he wanted to watch Game of Thrones, so I moved the show up on my list and we watched it together.

I'm very glad we did as I loved the first few seasons. Gripping, good writing, good acting, and a lot of authenticity to the medieval aesthetic. Lots of characters on their own paths with stories that branch out and wind together, intermingling and affecting each other while still having their own life to live.
Granted the last couple of seasons did decline. However I don't think they're as bad as people online make it out to be. The ending was a disappointment, sure, but it was still good enough.
Then again, if you go from amazing seasons to just OK or good for the ending, that can be a shocking change of direction and throw you for a loop. Whiplash I guess.
I'd rate the first 5 or 6 seasons 5 stars, with the last two seasons 4 or 3 stars. But nothing bad I'd say.

Mistake Status: I have no plans at all to do this series.

I watched this show on Amazon Prime.

After I had watched Breaking Bad for the second time, watching it with my dad for that run, we decided to watch Better Call Saul. Before I decided to watch it with him, I had already seen the first season, maybe some of the second. But I stopped to re-watch Breaking Bad with my dad. We then started this and it's fantastic.
A prequel to Breaking Bad about the rise of Saul Goodman, this is lawyer drama at it's best. Some say it's better than Breaking Bad. I won't go that far but would say they are equals. It's funny, it's dramatic, it's intense... And it does a prequel right.
I don't really know what else to say beyond that. Especially without spoiling too much.

Mistake Status: I highly doubt I'll ever do Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul. Won't make it a definite no, but I don't think I want to do these shows for mistakes.

I watched this movie on Amazon Prime.

So... I had seen some of the older Bond movies, including this one, a long long time ago. Like about 20 years ago, renting them from the Library as a kid. Most of them I hardly remembered but I wanted to finally start my journey of going back and watching all the old Bond movies again. Some a long over due re watch, others seeing for the first time.

Before this watch, I don't think I had ever actually seen Live and Let Die before. I knew there was some Bond movies I've never seen but I didn't really know which ones. I really enjoyed this one though, and now I am remembering why Roger Moore is my second favorite actor for Bond behind Brosnan.
Nothing against Connery, and the franchise wouldn't even have gotten legs to begin with if not for his start. But I find Moore far more likable, more charming and even better looking/more handsome than Connery. For me, Moore feels more like Bond than Connery.
Some of that could be due to seeing Moonraker and Octopussy a few times as a kid. I believe I even had Octopussy on VHS that I'd sometimes watch with my Brosnan tapes.

This is Moore's first outing as Bond, and while he hasn't quite found his footing to make the character his own yet, this is already a great start.
The movie itself is also a fun campy watch, getting into more the style of Bond I enjoy better. The boat chase does go on for a bit too long though, even if it has a few fun gags.
The villains are fun, though Mr. Big's face makeup/mask is not convincing at all. Tee Hee and Whisper are both memorable, and then there's the voodoo guy on top of that! This film is actually pretty stacked with villains.
There are a few distracting things, especially the obviously non venomous snakes used as dangerous snakes through out the film. And as stated before the boat chase goes on for a bit too long. I also noticed Bond spends a lot of time in cars or taxis in this movie just traveling and getting chased. Not that it's too bad. It's still better than the car chase in Diamonds.

I really liked this movie a lot. A firm 4 out of 5 stars and this is really making me excited to dive more into the Moore era of Bond, and see how he shaped the character more. And why he's my second favorite actor for the role.

Mistake Status: I had only planned to do mistakes really for the Brosnan era of Bond. However, this was the first Bond movie I watched since my return to moviemistakes... and during the watch I caught a few mistakes and also the obvious factual errors with the snakes used. While I still had the movie rented on Prime, before it expired, I figured I'd go ahead and clean up the existing entries on the site. Going through and doing all the time codes and making pictures for them. Also several needed corrected. I ran out of time before it expired on Prime and wound up finishing up the pictures and time codes using a Spanish language version of the film on internet Archive lol. Because of that I wasn't able to do timecodes for quotes, but oh well. The process I found more fun than I thought, and this has made me reconsider only doing the Brosnan films, and I will very likely do the whole series at some point, deep dive for mistakes. Not sure when though as I have other priorities. But at the very least as I watch each one following this I'll try to see a few while watching it and help with time codes and pictures on existing entries.

Most of them I hardly remembered but I wanted to finally start my journey of going back and watching all the old Bond movies again. Some a long over due re watch, others seeing for the first time.

Diamonds marks the first return of Connery to the role of Bond after previously stepping away before Majesty was filmed, prompting George Lazenby to be cast. However that turned out detrimental to the franchise with the film having a bad reception. While they were scrambling to try and recast a new actor as Bond again, they convinced Connery to come back and do the role once more (and paid him handsomely for it).
Here Connery's age is really starting to show and shockingly so. It's only been 4 years since he did Live Twice and to me it looks like he's aged '10 to 15 years.

Anyways. This film gets kinda goofy and is an early look at what the Moore era would start feeling like but yet with Connery in the lead and feels miss matched. It's not terrible but I still put this in the, it's OK camp. Actually better than Live Twice, but it's kinda just... meh for me.
I hear a lot of praise for the minions, Mr. Kidd and Mr. Wint... but I don't really get the love for them. Sure they're kinda fun, but not so amazing.
We also have again yet another recast of Blofeld... and this movie does him the worst. Blofeld I think is his most idiotic in this movie and just plain stupid. And strangely enough Blofeld's new actor already played a big part in a previous Bond film which can be distracting. However the whole plastic surgery angle and sub plot of the movie can help explain this away. Though there's little actually done with that.

The car chase in the movie with the Mustang and the police is terrible though. And I'm never a fan of movies depicting police as incapable idiots. It's insulting. Bond's car is pretty sick though, and I think the same model my dad's used to be.

We also don't really get a satisfying pay off to how Majesty ended, at least not really. A squandered opportunity. That said, I still like the movie OK. Not exactly sure why but I still found enjoyment out of it. More so than Live Twice anyways.
So a good 3 out of 5 stars.

Mistake Status: I was planning on only doing the Brosnan films down the road. But my recent watch of Live and Let Die and finding a few mistakes in that... has changed my mind and I may do the whole franchise at some point. At the very least I'll do time code clean ups, and do pictures for existing mistakes and trivia. No idea when I'll get to that.

Most of them I hardly remembered but I wanted to finally start my journey of going back and watching all the old Bond movies again. Some a long over due re watch, others seeing for the first time.

Often seen as the black sheep of the Bond franchise, Majesty tends to get an unjust bad rap. It was the first in the franchise, (not counting the 1954 episode of Climax) to have Bond not played by Connery. But rather newcomer to acting, George Lazenby.
Lazenby does his best here, trying to act like Connery and mimic his portray of Bond, and even having his hair and mannerisms emulating Connery. He doesn't' do a terrible job, but it's also not great.

As far as the film goes, this, I feel, is definitely a step up from the previous two movies of Thunderball and Live Twice. And I even enjoy this one more than Goldfinger. It has good action, a pretty good plot, likable lead Bond girl, and a good performance of the new Blofeld actor.
Even if I don't really like Blofeld as a character and villain in the first place, he's not too bad in this film. Nevermind the continuity breaking way he and Bond seem to meet for the first time here after already meeting in the previous movie. There's a whole slue of theories and ideas about resolving that but I won't get into that here.
There's a lot to like about this film, and including some of the most important lore building moments of the franchise going forward, while also having it's down spots. It can be fairly hit or miss with people, but I fall into the camp of really enjoying this movie and thinking Lazenby did an OK job.
I used to think he was easily the worst Bond actor. Well now having actually seen the film. I'm thinking of changing my mind on that.

I don't like Dalton as Bond at all... but once I get to his two movies I'll decide for sure on his ranking next to Lazenby.
Anyways, I think this movie is a solid 4 of 5 stars. It's a shame we didn't get to see Lazenby continue in this role going forward to see the potential of what he could have blossomed into as he made the character his own.

Mistake Status: Originally I was only planning on doing the Brosnan films for mistakes. But my recent watch of Live and Let die has me considering doing the whole Bond franchise at some point. So I may revisit this one for Mistakes. I had watched this film prior to my return to this site, so I didn't get any for it yet.

I used to watch this show as a kid on TV.

How to write a review for something you used to love as a kid, about 30 years later without actually having seen it much over the years?
I was a little too young for this show when it first came out, I was 3 years old. And yet I remember it being a huge part of my childhood. Even watching reruns in the coming years as well as with the continuations of the later seasons. Though my memory really only starts with In Space and Lost Galaxy, which I loved also.

The original Rangers were amazing and I have memories of the show, the awesome theme song that helped shape my taste in music, and having some episodes on VHS we'd watch a lot. Kinda got stupid with it, with me and my nephew (we're only 6 years different in age), trying to reenact a moment from the show where he got on my shoulders and we spun around with him kicking. The "Human chain" move in like the first couple episodes or such.
We lost our balance, and fell, all the weight of both of us going into his collarbone and snapping it. We were just stupid kids.

Funny enough, the 1995 movie, is the first movie I actually can remember seeing in theaters as a kid. I was 5 so starting to have memories that would actually last with me.

I still look back at this show fondly, and there's been at least two or three times I've tried to start binging it again on Netflix, but something comes up and I can't continue. But I still plan to revisit this show, and watch every season and series... even the dreaded Disney years...

I'm also very much looking forward to the spiritual sequel being made by Bat in the Sun, called Legend of the White Dragon. Which was a passion project from actor JDF who passed away before completion due to his unfortunate suicide. I'm a minor backer on the film and am very much awaiting it's arrival.

Mistake Status: N/A.

I rented this movie from RedBox (when that was still around). And I THINK I own it on DVD...

Oh boy. Where to begin with this crap.
Right out the gate, I'll say I actually really like the 2005 Doom movie, and think it's underrated. It's a fun action movie with some horror... but that's not the movie I'm reviewing here today.
No this is the supposedly more faithful adaptation of Doom: Annihilation... So I'll give it that. Technically, based on the lore, yes this movie is more true to the source material than the 2005 movie. But holy... crap! is this movie bad. The writing absolutely sucks. The acting is near The Room levels of bad at times. And while there actually are demons in this movie that are from Hell, you pretty much only ever see one type. The Imp.
The effects are terrible...
and for some... some STUPID reason. They gender swapped Doomguy. Freaking DoomGUY. Turned him into DoomChick... and what's worse, they gave her the stupidest possible name. You thought Cypher Rage in After Earth was a bad character name? Get this... Her name is Joan Dark...

Joan, freaking Dark.
Really rolls off the tongue, huh?

The cast can't act their way out of a paper bag, and this is stupid on every step of the way. Not many movies will I give the 1 star rating of "I hate it" But this is for sure one of those.
Like the 2005 Doom movie or not, this one makes it look Star Wars or The Godfather.

And what is it with game movies having "Annihilation" in the title being such a curse. Both this, and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation are easily the two worst video game to movie adaptations to ever be made, as far as watchability and how badly it's made.

Mistake Status: Oh you bet your ass I'm going to rip this one apart at some point. I'm gonna have FUN going frame by frame on this one.

I watched this movie on Disney +.

I wanted to like this movie more, and had hopes for it. However it's just more generic modern MCU cookie cutter "content." It's not even really bad or a movie I'd dislike. It's just. OK. Meh.
which for what's supposed to be an action filled Super Hero spy thriller movie. To just be meh and kinda boring. Is really bad. It's almost worth giving it 2 stars just for that but I'm trying to be fair.

Very disappointing movie, Red Hulk was wasted, The Leader was wasted, Sidewinder was shoehorned into the plot. Falcon is not Captain America. Hell Harrison Ford is wasted in this.

And the bad thing is I'm sure there's more I could say, but I watched this movie just a couple months ago and I've already forgotten a lot about it. Just that dull. Not so bad it's 2 stars as I didn't come away thinking I disliked the movie. But it was just OK. And that's almost worse.

it's sad that the current era of the MCU has fallen so far. I want these movies to be good. i want to love the MCU again...

Mistake Status: I will probably go through the MCU movies for mistakes in time, and if I do I'll probably start at the beginning. So would be a long time before I got to this one.

I own this series on DVD.

Now here's an odd ball of a Star Wars series. Technically not canon, but you could almost consider this soft canon or a pseudo prequel to the later CGI Clone Wars series.
This Clone Wars... without the The, is a fast pace action pact cartoon of the clone wars era with Anakin still a padawan (where he's a Jedi Knight in the next series), and I believe this was done by the same guys who made Samurai Jack... and it shows!

It's kind of minimalistic though, with little dialog and heavy focus on just action. It makes a bunch of the characters seem way more bad ass than they actually are... especially Grievous. And yet it kinda meanders a bit.
Though as of writing this review, it's been over a year since I watched it. And I think I've only actually watched it twice ever... at least once all the way through. I do need to re watch it again.
still, it's a fun adventure and a cool place to see a lot of early versions of ideas they'd further flesh out better in the later CGI series. Like Ventress and the water planet mission.

Mistake Status: Oh yeah I'd love to do this one. Since I have the DVD it's even easier so I do plan to do this at some point.

I watched this movie on Amazon prime.

Yikes. So in my continued journey to watch all the Bond series. I did decide to watch the two original Casino Royale outings (not the Daniel Craig version), including the old black and white one from the 50s. And then this spoof parody of Bond. I watched both of those back to back before moving on to the next in the official series, Majesty.

for this one. The spoof. Oh it's bad. It's not quite down into the I hate it category for 1 star, but it's firmly in 2 star territory. It's poorly written, having the multiple Bonds sub plot makes little sense, the humor is mostly miss with the jokes not landing. There was one or two jokes that did make me laugh pretty hard, notably the one where "Do you speak English?" "No" thing had me rolling.
there was one or two others but it goes to show you I can't even remember them now. Granted it's been a couple months or so since I watched the movie that I'm writing this review.

The plot. If you can call it that, is nonsense. And this feels almost like those bad "Movie Movies" that plagued and destroyed the spoof genre in the 00's.
I can see why this movie is almost never talked about in the Bond discussions. It's not part of the official series. And it's really bad.

Unless you're going for Bond completist like I am. Skip this one. You're not missing anything. It's not worth wasting 2 hours of your life on when you could be watching something else. Not even for the one good joke.

Mistake Status: Yeah no... I don't have any desire to revisit this film.

I watched this movie on Amazon Prime.

So... I had seen some of the older Bond movies, including this one, a long long time ago. Like about 20 years ago, renting them from the Library as a kid. Most of them I hardly remembered but I wanted to finally start my journey of going back and watching all the old Bond movies again. Some a long over due re watch, others seeing for the first time.

Ugh. Where do I start with this one? I feel like giving it 2 stars, for disliking it, is a bit too harsh. But it's not quite 3 stars where it's just OK either.
if I could, I'd give this one a 2.5 stars

Where I found Goldfinger disappointing but still liked it OK, then Thunderball... meh.
this one is just under meh. But not quite a dislike.

Anyways... where to begin? The plot with them stealing ships from space is just too ridiculous. Space flight was still new around this time, and even if it's science fiction having the technology for someone to make a ship that can capture other craft in space like that just stretches it way too far, looking back now. We can't even really do stuff like that with today's tech. Bond faking his own death really seems to go nowhere or benefit him very little. The side villains are very forgettable, the Bond girls almost even more so. The idea of hiding a secret base in a volcano is pretty cool, but this movie just cemented that I think that Spectre and Blofeld... are just not good villains. Donald Pleasence does a fine job in the part here, but I realise now I just never really liked that character. Especially how he's always treated different or recast in every film. And I never really get what his ultimate end goal is, which also seems to always change in each movie. Especially when they make him stupid in the movies.
The end fight with all the ninjas just comes across as way over the top and nonsense. And this coming from a guy who's second favorite movie of all time is Ninja Assassin.
The helicopter battle is kinda cool but Bond looks silly in that little yellow thing.
Hell. The more I'm talking about it the more I'm convincing myself this is a 2 star, I don't like it. Movie. So yeah. I think that's that. I don't like this one.

Side note... the fact that Bond fights The Rock's grandfather is a bit of a cool trivia and movie history.

Mistake Status: No plans to do the Bond movies except the Brosnan era.
