Reacher (Season 2 Review) | A Seamless Blend of Adaptation and Innovation.
#Reacher S2 delivers a seamless blend of adaptation and innovation! The new location, strong casting choices, and nods to #LeeChild's #bookquotes make it a must-watch for me. While some action scenes push the limits, the story adds depth. #TVReview
The prime video show thrilled me and many other viewers with its stellar adaptation of The Killing Floor in season one, and the amazing cast they gathered for it. The show skipped nine books for its sophomore season by adapting book 11 Bad Luck and Trouble. They also brought in Serinda Swan (Devotion, Inhuman), Robert Patrick (The Night Agent, Peacemaker, Perry Mason), Shaun Sipos (Krypton, The…

The three episodes of the second season of Reacher are here and they are amazing. Is it just me or did the show get bigger and better? Bigger for sure because Ritchson looks massive he’s more of a tank than he was in the…

The King (2019, dir. David Michôd) - review by Rookie-Critic
The King, as far as Shakespeare adaptations go, was pretty solid. I'll be the first to admit that I'm just not big on Shakespeare, and I can't stand when movies try to use the original Shakespearian English as the dialogue for the script (I'm looking at you, Baz Luhrmann). I know, I know, that's pretty sacrilegious, but it just irks me to no end. I already have a problem understanding dialogue without subtitles and adding that on top of it all makes it near indecipherable to me. Thankfully, The King doesn't do this. Also, Henry V (the play that this is based on) is one of his better works, so it has a leg up there as well. Timothée Chalamet is great as Henry V, and Sean Harris gives a pretty stellar performance as William Gascoigne. However, Robert Pattinson, while a great actor, may have been a little too silly for this movie that otherwise played itself incredibly straight. The climactic battle sequence was incredibly gripping and well shot, which is interesting because the cinematography of the rest of the film almost felt like a heightened version of the way a BBC historical drama would be shot. Not to say that's bad, just very different from that big moment towards the end of the film. If you're a fan of Shakespeare or historical fiction, then I'm sure this will tick the box for you. I thought it was alright.
Score: 7/10
