This show is really good!

To start off, I don't watch shows, in general. I have watched only about five to ten of them in my lifetime, and tend to be very picky.

I am also not a fan of movies and shows based on sports, which is not a comment on their quality (just my interest).

However, this show has kept me hooked since the first episode. The characters, back stories, motivations, jokes, setting, accents, etc. All make for a wonderful watch.

The show is less about football and more about the interactions between the members of a football club.

Highly recommended!

While nothing in the movie is bad - acting, VFX, etc. - it all feels like they tried to cramp as much as possible to satisfy as many types of fans as they could.

Too many characters with no background info (even post-credit scenes have new characters without introduction), unnecessary cameos, weak main villain motivation.

Also, remember when once Disney said we don't need to watch ALL of the Disney+ spin-off series in order to follow MCU films? Well, that was a big lie. I have friends who did not watch WandaVision, What If? And Loki, and were thoroughly confused throughout the film. I guess Disney+ is also suffering from stagnant subscriber growth, eh?

It is a shame as this was one of the most anticipated MCU movies since forever. Especially after the success of the first Doctor Strange movie, which was a genius. No wonder the original director - Scott Derrikson - left. "Creative differences" is just a term Disney likes to use when good Directors call out bad scripts.

And, oh, the horror aspect? Well, unless you are a die-hard horror fan and get off by jump-scares, this movie is nothing close to horror.

Probably one of the weakest MCU films, in my humble opinion. I don't know why fans were dissing on The Eternals, which had a much more interesting storyline. Would not watch it again, and probably should've waited for the Disney+ release.

The thing I am most upset about is how pure, unadulterated gems like this movie do not get more attention and/or theatrical releases (at least in my continent).

Without going into too much detail, this is a bittersweet comedy based in today's times (the video chat being ubiquitous) about two very different people in different parts of the world coming together.

This movie made me laugh and cry at the same time, and warmed my heart as well. The dialogue is as real as it gets.

I, honestly, do not write reviews for movies like this, but this time, I felt compelled to. Excellent! Waiting for more stuff like this from the two lead actors.
