This new era which is Russel T Davies 2.0, it's just okay. It has a couple high highs, and a couple of low lows, whilst the majority of the episodes hover around the mid mark. The season 1 finale is beyond underwhelming. The 15th doctor, who isn't actually the doctor and just a clone, is frustrating since he's entirely different to any other doctor and cries all the time like a baby. Ruby sunday was great. This season 1 is by far leagues better than the final three series of the 2005-2022 era but still doesn't reach the amazing 2005-2010 run of Russell t Davies 1.0, his first time round running the show.
I'm sure we all expected an Epic Biographical War Drama ... and I'm even more sure we didn't expect to get a a Period RomCom.
This felt like a mini-series was cut up and mashed into a very rushed film. Its not terrible, but sadly not this amazing epic we all hoped it would be.
The colour grading is atrocious, either everything is orange or everything has like -95% saturation.
The use of natural lighting is also TERRIBLE. We're looking at silhouettes talking for most of the film, the background is beautifully lit whilst you can't even see anyone's faces in the foreground.
There's 5 battle scenes, 2 of which are cut before any battle happens, 1 is in pitch black, and the other 2 are desaturated beyond imaginable.
Napoleon is portrayed as this goofy comedy character, I was surprised he didn't sing the Loony Tunes song.

Might be the most mid film to ever exist...
If you're expecting Rachel Zegler (Lucy Gray) or The Hunger Games themselves, then you're 100% going to be disappointed. Rachel has about 10 minutes screen time and the Hunger Games only last a few minutes and we don't see much at all.
This is a President Snow Prequel, and nothing else.
It felt way more like a mini-series which got slapped onto the big screen for the sake of it. Nothing about this felt like an actual film.
What a disappointment.
For the time Rachel does have on screen, she is great. Viola Davis is fantastic as well, and Jason Schwartzman is fantastically cast.
