Why I think Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania bombed..

 Hi www

In very short.. Katy O'Brian's acting was so poor in her first scene, and so little was explained to Hank, who was us on this journey.. what where the names of the first aliens that helped us? what was the name of the cantina?

Katy O'Brian is *excellent* in the Mandalorian (excellent villain!) .. for Mando I'd give her 8/10. For Ant-Man QM.. 1 or 2 or 3.. 3 at best, no I'm being too generous!.. 1 or 2/10. 

5 being competent. No Oscars won, but in no way hurt the production.

1. Katy O'Brian miscast 2.Poor story layout 3. Too much 'glossing over' what is happening, at times where the audience needed that depth (see above for examples).

The rest was actually good.. especially Paul Rudd.. whose comedic acting was on point. I really can't fault the main cast.. even Corey Stoll raised a smile and didn't let the production down, even with the slightly awkward lines he had.. he just about pulled them off with decent comedy.. and yes FEELZ <3. Well done Mr. Stoll!

I'm a huge Bill Murray fan.. but his character just functioned as a plot device to betray the heroes. He had one comedic moment.. which *did* work.. but with the lack of exposition, the exposition we needed before we met him and J.Van Dyne simply brushing everything off when a explanation was called for.. no.

Ms. Lilly did not have any standout scenes.. however she (along with Ms. John-Kamen as Ghost) took a front seat in the previous movie, while Paul Rudd played for comedy.

I'd enjoy seeing a Goliath/Ghost movie. A pulp fiction of revenge.. think Kill Bill but with phasing superpowers.

Florida Man.. My (somewhat of a ) Review

 Hi

I watched the first episode of Florida Man on NF.. the thumbnail promo had shown Clark Gregg, so I was looking forward to him starring in this. nope.

By the second episode I had identified the problem with this show.. Edgar Ramirez.

Everyone else were putting in competent performances, Abbey Lee was a little shaky in the first episode but by the second she was really taking her stride with this little bit of fluff part and was acting the flip out it! respect.

I could tell Mr. Ramirez was really struggling to act in English.. I don't know if he is or isn't a good actor in Spanish, but I saw how poor and unengaging he was in English. It felt like he was a drama student with their first performance.

The plot was often over contrived for no reason.. If they had done this properly, they could have done it out of order and so made it a pulp fiction.. as this show so badly wanted to be a detective noir, both these would have fit together nicely if the writer/s were talented enough.

But what we got was meandering mess with no real direction.

Or if not a pulp.. throw in some decent music direction and the first two episodes could have been one, anything montage like to end the monotony of Mr. Ramirez's acting and the poor plot writing.

So.. I'm not going to finish episode 3.. I feel so guilty for reviewing something without seeing as a complete work.. giving those artists a chance to redeem themselves, like Ms. Lee did in the second episode. But I just can't force myself.. I can't do that to myself to watch more of Mr. Ramierez's 'non-acting'.
