Review: "Galavant season 2 TV review"

The second outing of Galavant is a little underwhelming. The pop culture and self-awareness jokes are getting more forced and less amusing. The musical set pieces are not as entertaining as in the first season. That said, it is not a bad season but compared to the first, I felt disappointed.

Episode 1-10: It continues where the first season ends off. The whole season is on the bonding between Galavant and King Richard which is a decent story and character development. Of course, with their different characteristics, you can expect tiff gags where on and off, they would fight for whatever reasons. One thing that is increasingly getting on my nerves is the frequent self-awareness jokes. Even during the songs, they would break into the self-awareness tone. Season 1 has balanced those jokes but it felt like the season 2 has indulged the jokes. Nonetheless, each episode is not boring and often filled with ridiculous jokes and colorful characters. There is hardly a dull moment. Inevitably, there is again a cliffhanger at the end of the last episode. No spoiler here but the development of one character is progressively getting evil.

Overall: Is it worth to watch the second outing? I would say it is no harm but do not keep your standards high. Once you embrace its ridiculous tone, you should be entertained by every episode. I will still watch season 3 but now I know where my standards for this show are.

Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "From Vegas To Macau 2 movie review" "Loads of fun in Wong Jing's bigger sequel." Wong Jing is back with more madness, action, explosion and a longer runtime. As every sequel tries to top its original in every way, From Vegas To Macau 2 is no different. Lots of explosion, lots of wacky humour and more CGI, if these are your entertainment, the movie will do you no wrong. From the opening gun fight to the CGI climax, the story is kept brisk to keep your attention in check. The story: Chow Yun-fat is back as the titular gambler, Ken, with the magic hand. This time, the movie exaggerates his skills with CGI poker cards until it almost becomes a fantasy. But that's to be expected in a Wong Jing's movie. This time, the location is shifted to Thailand where Mark (Nick Cheung), an accountant in a money-laundering syndicate, DOA, is chased by Interpol and DOA. Ken has to save him and help his protege, Vincent (Shawn Yue). Wong Ji

Rating: 3.6/5 Review: "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D season 2 TV review" Season 2 has improved greatly. Starting straight from the massive cliffhanger in season 1, season 2 is more tense, action-packed, darker and better paced. I think season 1 took its time to introduce its characters before diving into the action. The time is spread out to individual characters' development. More twists and turns make the season a stark improvement. Episode 1-22: Skye has discovered her powers and is learning how to cope with it. Meanwhile, the team has its problems. Coulson seems to be hiding secrets. In fact, everybody has secrets. More powers are unleashed. It is a little surprising that Marvel is bold enough to veer the series to a darker tone by amping up the number of deaths and more violence. The whole season has little humour and moves at a brisk pace without really pausing. As the tension between human and superhuman increases by each episode, it is an exciting season that w

Rating: 4.1/5 Review: "Transformers: Age of Extinction movie review" Michael Bay is back for the forth time in the soon tired franchise. To be honest, I like Michael Bay and enjoyed all of his Transformers movies. But seeing him return to the franchise made me weary. Three times the explosions is enough and yet a forth explosion happens. The good news for this is that it still has fantastic action, explosions, CGI and on top, it has fresh characters to carry the weight. The not so good news is that it has amazingly the longest runtime in the franchise which drags down the whole movie. The story: Michael Bay wanted to start afresh with this. It is clear with the different title font, a fresh set of new characters, less humour and even a different theme song by Imagine Dragons. However these are all that have changed. Michael's extended explosive noisy action, stereotype characters and others still stay the same. The formula of the story is almost like the last thr
