Greatly enjoyed Top Gun Maverick and Avatar 2 at the cinema though.
Both had minimal agenda in my opinion. It probably says something.
These days, I'm starting to think if it doesn't have Tom Cruise and isn't directed by James Cameron it's a 50-50 gamble it will suck. On streaming the odds are worse in favour of it sucking.
Top Gun: Maverick was the surprise highlight of the year. Tom Cruise is seriously crushing it.
Avatar 2 -I haven't seen yet, but will probably catch it later as a rental stream. Not really that enthused because Cameron is a bit of a non-creative hack. I mean, he said Fire Na'vi for Avatar 3? C'mon, seriously?
Amazon surprised with shows like The Terminal List and Reacher. But reached new lows of ESG agenda-bait garbage with The Rings of Power and Willow.
Netflix assassinated The Witcher series, then stomped on its grave with the horrid The Witcher: Blood Origin.
I'm so done with Netflix. Keeping Amazon Prime only for the free shipping thing.
