the divergent series: allegiant (review)...

I love the divergent book series so when they decided to adapt them into the big screen I was really excited but the first two movies were really REALLY underwhelming and forgettable so when they decided to adapt the last and the worst book in the whole series I was really worried that this could the shittiest thing that humanity could witness, so how was allegiant the movie???  Lets find out. 

This might the best one out of the whole series till now and that says a lot since I really, really hate the first two movies especially the second one because I had a lot of expectations and boy did the marketing deceive us with this really cool poster. 

But this doesn't mean that the movie is a masterpiece, it's more of a one night stand but they corrected a lot of the mistakes done in the first two movies. The movie started really well and the wall climbing part was great and interesting to watch but after that part things started to fall down and the plot holes started to get as wide as (put any vagina jokes that you have on your mind), you get the point. The effects of the post apocalyptic Chicago and the generic affair building (whatever its name is) were really cheesy and cheap for a movie that cost more 100 million dollars to produce. 

My biggest issue with the movie is that I really felt that the whole thing could have been wrapped up by the end of the movie, the ending it self doesn't make you want to see what happens next, if you add like extra 10 minutes you can end the whole thing and move on and that's the problem of the whole series, they fail to make you wait for what't going to happen next. For a movie that isn't bringing the box office on fire  that last movie could have been enough to put the series out of its misery. 

The acting is decent and once again the highlight of the movie i no other than Myles Teller aka Peter, this guy is amazing!! The rest of the cast are good and Jeff Daniels is decent, nothing really special about his role and acting, he is just like any evil adult figure in the YA genre (adults are evil, teens are special, blah blah blah). 

There are a lot of changes from the book and that's good thing since the book is really boring and complicated and full of shit so they tried to make this movie as interesting as possible, the ending of the movie is totally different and unrelated to the events in the book so it's interesting to see how are the going to wrap the whole thing up in the final movie. 

So the movie is decent, watchable, there are a couple of good action scenes, awesome wall climbing, some laughable effects and some nice acting so yeah they managed to fix some of the errors that took place in the first couple of movies but still the movie isn't that great. Fact is the whole series just fails in differentiating itself from the YA dystopian genre. It's full of cliches and they just fail to engage people is whatever the hell is going on. The movies didn't even generate that much money to divide the last book into two movies!! The real frustrating thing about allegiant is that they really could have warped it up and just move on to another project. I can even tell you how they could have ended the whole thing (spoilers), after breaking the wall an angry mob could go to the gene people building and just bring the mortherfucker down and that's it, they get to live in peace with one another and Tris marries four and everyone is happy, the end, see, that wasn't hard, was it????

Final verdict:

Shithunters,,, the tv show...

In 2013 Cassandra Clare and co decided to adopt her best selling book series ''the mortal instruments'' into the big screen because why not?? and the result?? One of the shittiest movies I've ever seen in my life, the whole thing was a huge mess, a hell of a train wreck and as result the movie tanked (thank god). 

just look at those eyebrows

But instead of giving up and put the whole thing to rest, Cassandra and Co decided that the world just needs another generic YA adaptation to get shoved into our asses and so the books were adapted to a TV show, and after finishing the first season I can say without a doubt that boy that was really REALLY BAD. 

The show doesn't add anything new to the YA world and by god the show is trying to take it self really seriously so it puts it self into the so bad it's good territory. With bland acting, generic and under developed  characters and shitty pacing and effects, you have a really great train wreck that is waiting to happen. 

The show fails to make you get invested and care about whatever is going on, but by the end of the show you will feel that you really don't give a fuck about anything. Throughout the series you will hear about how evil and dangerous this guy Valentine is, but you don't really know why or how because all he does is standing and say evil shit without doing anything that makes you say ''oh, this guy is so fucking evil'', it's like watching a parody, not a character that you should give a fuck about.  

The acting itself is a major issue in this show, most of the performances are really really bad and shallow, there are some highlights but more on that later. 

Another generic thing about this show is the whole ''the special one thing'', nothing new here. I really don't know what's so special about Clary, what makes her important is that she owns the cup and here mum and dad are so fucking important and that's it. Plus she is one hell of a bitch!! and yeah she has to fall in love with the hot guy, FUCK YOU. 

There are a couple of highlights in this shitfeast: Alberto Rosende aka Simon and Harry Shum, Jr. aka Bane. Those two are the only redeeming thing in the show. Bane's character is surprisingly good and makes me interested in seeing more of this guy and as for alberto (Simon), the guy is really appealing and managed to turn a stereotypical character into something interesting to watch. 

So my final verdict?? What we have here is a poor show with shitty swords and characters that fails to make you care about anything that is going on but manages to fall into the so bad it's good to watch because of it's cheesiness and how it tries to take itself seriously...
