And here we have the worst movie of 2021. Everything screams AMATEUR, it´s cheap, it´s dumb, it´s badly acted, written and made. It looks really ugly, "actors" play like the worst planks of wood, there are no people in the backround where they should be, sound is bad - I have to stop or I never will. Ruby Rose left Batwoman for movie roles like this?

After the controversial first season, everyone was nervously waiting what comes - and it did not disappoint. We got a far better actress which can emote. We also got much less money for production, and it shows. The main focus is emotions all around, acting is crippled, writing horrendous (and don´t come at me with "try it yourself to write a show", or I will - and it will better than this), we have the most pathetic/cheap Batmobile in history, and the most interesting and useful person (fake Bruce) which would be interesting to see through the show, was unceremoniously eliminated in round one. This is sadly one of the most miserable shows in today television, and a stain on DC history. If this gets a third season, it will be the final sign that armageddon is coming.

Oh my, this show has so much potential, but... There are some interesting characters, the idea is great, but all is watered down by poor screenwriting, and the usual evil of our time - things happening because they are needed to happen. Let´s forget all those box ticking and small pickings, which are absolutely unneeded and serve nothing. Maybe we can also forget that this show is primarily targeted at very young teenagers, and some aspects are monumentally naive. But still, those dialogues, and how persons behave, this is painful. Nuns are swearing like hell, this whole organization has massive problems with discipline, loyalty seems to mean nothing. Alba Baptista seems to be pretty good, she is a natural and likeable, and I like her style, but she got some really inconsistent role and dumb dialoques. For a young girl in her life situation, she is far too (over)confident from the start, constantly disrespectful, and overall periodically not the best person (deal? until literally any other option presents itself - deal). Toya Turner also seems to be capable, but her role is so flat, this unstoppable bang bang hardcore amazon is simply not interesting after a while. The show has so much potential, some moments are extremely atmospheric, and combined with great music, but they are too few and stretched far from one another by boredom or soap opera. I´m really split with this one, I hope it will get better but don´t know if I can hold through. I would not be happy, if this show would be like so many similarly themed (and typically bland and forgetable) Hollywood movies, but this one went too far to the other side.
