DC produces a movie so boring that it can't escape being rotten. Why does it still have a 78% fresh critic and audience score on Rotten Tomatoes? Color and quirky acrobatics is not a substitute for story and character. After watching this film, I know even less about the character of Harley Quinn. Another fail for the DC Cinematic Universe.

'Project Power' had an incredible premise. Unfortunately, Netflix couldn't locate a writer who knew how to take advantage of that premise. 'The Old Guard' is far more entertaining.

I finally got a chance to see 'The Rise of Skywalker' -- and without giving a cent of money to Disney. I can now say with all honesty that this film deserves to be rotten. The problems of this film are numerous and only dwarfed by the empty feeling that I had at its conclusion. Nothing about this overly expensive spectacle felt real.

So, I binge watched 'The Umbrella Academy' after hearing much criticism from some of my favorite YouTube channels. Were the complaints of the show becoming too 'woke' in Season 2 valid? I look at audience reviews on Rotten Tomatoes for comparison.

After a disappointing viewing of 2019's 'Ad Astra' I take a look at audience reviews on Rotten Tomatoes to find some redemption. How did this big budget, big cast production end up failing to entertain?

I finally catch a viewing of 'Dark Phoenix'. Is it the worst of the X-Men films? I look at audience reviews and draw my own conclusion.

After a long pause from YouTube videos, I return to give my thoughts on 'Eragon' (2006) and discuss some Rotten Tomatoes user reviews. #Eragon #RottenTomatoes

A look at audience reviews of 'The Snowman' (2017) on Rotten Tomatoes. How did Michael Fassbender and J. K. Simmons end up in this mess? #MichaelFassbender #JKSimmons #RottenTomatoes

A look at audience reviews of 'Soldier' (1998) on Rotten Tomatoes. This Kurt Russell film has aged very poorly. The visual FX are much worse than I remembered; and the title character does a whole lot of silent staring. #KurtRussell #GaryBusey #MichaelChiklis

I give my thoughts on the Netflix show 'October Faction', which is most definitely rotten on Rotten Tomatoes. I was anticipating a show about monster hunting... #OctoberFaction #Netflix #RottenTomatoes

A look at audience reviews of 'The Invisible' (2007) on Rotten Tomatoes. This film felt like a made-for-TV attempt at a suspense, but included plenty of violence and almost nothing 'supernatural'. Almost every actor fails to deliver a convincing performance. Rotten all the way! #TheInvisible #RottenTomatoes #JustinChatwin

A look at audience reviews of 'Life' (2017) on Rotten Tomatoes. Did the world need another plot hole filled ripoff of 'Alien'? I doubt it! #RyanReynolds #JakeGyllenhaal #RottenTomatoes

A look at audience reviews of 'Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer' on Rotten Tomatoes. In major ways, this film is worse than 2005's and 2015's 'Fantastic Four' attempts. Why does it have the highest scores on RT?

A look at audience reviews of 'Cold Pursuit' (2019) on Rotten Tomatoes. This is a remake of the Norwegian film, 'In Order of Disappearance', which is a much higher rated dark-comedy. The comedy in 'Cold Pursuit' failed so hard that it took me quite a while to realize I shouldn't take any of the ridiculous plot or characters seriously. There were no laughs to be had, and it got tiresome watching various henchmen engage in pointless drama. Also, natives of Colorado may find the geography outlandish. #LiamNeeson #RottenTomatoes

A look at audience reviews of 'The Ladykillers' (2004) on Rotten Tomatoes. Tom Hanks does a great job creating his odd character of a southern professor. I enjoyed this Coen brothers film, although the ending renders the entire theme rather pointless. Your mileage may vary, depending upon your sense of humor and how much you believe in the low intelligence of several characters. I was entertained by this remake of a 1950's era film. #CoenBrothers #TomHanks #RottenTomatoes

A look at audience reviews of 'Elysium' (2013) on Rotten Tomatoes. This film looks great but suffers from myriad plot holes in its core premise. There is some odd South African lingo to contend with in the dialog. Towards the final act, I was asking why space shuttles would have so many empty Corona beer bottles floating around in 'zero-g'...in the year 2154. #MattDamon #JodieFoster #RottenTomatoes

A look at audience reviews of 'The Visit' (2015) on Rotten Tomatoes. This film was not quite scary, and the 'found footage' style of camera work did not add anything to the experience. Perhaps it is worth watching one time, if your expectations are not too high. #MNightShayamalan #RottenTomatoes #TheVisit

A look at audience reviews of 'Wishmaster' (1997) on Rotten Tomatoes. This film is a laugh fest of a horror movie. There are plenty of appearances by actors of several popular 70's and 80's sci-fi/horror franchises for anyone of age to remember. This film has aged into a comedy, despite practical effects and slime gore. Very enjoyably rotten.

After watching the first episode, 'Remembrance', of Star Trek: Picard, I put my thoughts of the show on record. STP is not quite Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek. It is in many ways both a retcon and a deconstruction of Star Trek: The Next Generation and the character of Jean-Luc Picard. Do these have to be fatal flaws to enjoyment? #StarTrek #StarTrekPicard #CBS

A look at audience reviews of 'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit' (2014) on Rotten Tomatoes. Ridiculous, far-fetched, and full of logical fail; this film is yet another Jack Ryan origin story. Rotten. #JackRyan

A look at audience reviews of 'Criminal' (2016) on Rotten Tomatoes. This film is very disappointing, because its premise teased me with an updated take on 'Face Off', but ended up delivering a far-fetched and illogical mess. It would have worked much better with Nicolas Cage cast in place of Kevin Costner...very sad. #RottenTomatoes

Someone, apparently deeply offended by the loose collection of YouTube channels branding themselves the 'Fandom Menace', created a Change.org petition to have the fan group banned from YouTube and other social media sites. Five months old, this petition hasn't gained traction. The Fandom Menace lives on... #FandomMenace #StarWars #StarTrek #DoctorWho

A look at audience reviews of 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' (2014) on Rotten Tomatoes. This overly long robot battle film introduces Mark Wahlberg as our cardboard hero (plus dinosaurs)...and we could care less. If you would like to see Hong Kong and Chicago get wrecked, this is the film for you! Otherwise, prepare for a lengthy advertisement for toys and beer, and cars. Enjoy!

A look at audience reviews of 'Jack the Giant Slayer' (2013) on Rotten Tomatoes. This film had all of the ingredients to be something great, but was let down by its PG-13 rating and its inability to decide between horror and comedy. The CGI is the least of this film's problems.

A look at audience reviews of 'A Walk Among the Tombstones' (2014) on Rotten Tomatoes. This film promised an action thriller and failed to deliver. It also failed to deliver on a novel adaptation, and suffers from too many scattered points of view and conflicting themes.
