Since June 2024, I started writing quick reviews of movies, TV shows and games I've watched or played. Here's every one of them.
12 reviews rated "Decent"
This idea and overall review layout were totally stolen from Matt Birchler and his Quick Reviews web app. Check it out if you want to create yours!
Primetime
Reviewed on Nov 07, 2026
The movie is pretty capable of entertaining for its duration, but it’s kinda forgettable. There are some incredible shots though, and the acting overall is really good, but the screenplay is clearly the weakest part of the movie.
The Great Gatsby
Reviewed on Sep 10, 2026
This is definitely not my type of book, but I’ve watched the Broadway musical in 2024 and wanted to see what the original material was like. The musical was incredible, the book… not so much. I think the only enjoyment I got out of it was remembering the scenes of the musical as I read it.
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Reviewed on Jun 23, 2026
I remember loving this book when I was a pre-teen so perhaps this rating is a bit unfair. I was looking for some light reading before bed and landed on this one, but I guess the humor doesn’t work on me anymore. Some good quotes here and there, but most of it felt like an adult’s attempt at saying things kids would find funny. It probably works for a lot of people but I think I outgrew this specific kind of silliness (but not silliness altogether, mind you).
I read the pt-BR version, if that matters.
Frankenstein

There’s a great movie in here but I feel the pacing is really off. Each act takes waaaay too long to get going, and by the time they got there I was tired of it already, and ended up not caring as much. Good ending though.
If I Had Legs I’d Kick You

One more for the “it’s good but I’ll never watch it again” group. The movie is great at portraying negative emotions and Rose’s acting is top notch. What it chooses not to show is just as important as what it does.
Pluribus (Season 1)
Reviewed on Dec 29, 2025
There’s a lot of quality in this show, but the glacial pacing (and how long it takes for the main character to develop any semblance of likeability) made me really struggle to care about anything that happened.
Might be better when binge-watched, but the weekly episode releases really did it a disservice.
Home Alone 2 - Lost in New York
Reviewed on Dec 07, 2025
It’s still a fun movie, but it’s basically the same thing as the first one but with worse pacing and felt a bit too forced.
The Last of Us (Season 2)
Reviewed on Jun 26, 2025
Breaks my heart because I love the game, but this adaptation just didn’t do it for me. Season 1 was pretty good, but I feel like none of the changes on Season 2 worked. Ellie is just a completely different character, and I feel like none of her actions are justified in the show. I gotta say some of the heaviest moments hit really hard on the show too. Episodes 2 and 6 were standouts though. Really enjoyed those.
Severance (Season 2)
Reviewed on Apr 05, 2025
An overall disappointing season, but the ending was fantastic.
It feels like they had enough story for 4 episodes but were forced to make 10. So the good things are stretched out between a lot of plots that don’t really go anywhere (and that I honestly didn’t care about).
Warcraft
Reviewed on Aug 11, 2024
As a longtime Warcraft fan, I watched this back when it came out, and finally rewatched it now. I remember being fascinated by seeing the Azeroth I knew so well on the big screen, but once that feeling goes away, it’s just an okay film.
It feels rushed and gives the feeling that whoever was involved in making it wasn’t a fan of the games.
MaXXXine
Reviewed on Jul 19, 2024
The conclusion to the trilogy that started with ‘X’, this one now takes place in the 80s and has a lot of the tropes of the movies of that era.
The ambiance, references and (again) Mia Goth’s acting really bring you into the movie. It’s a shame the climax is unable to match the same level of quality, leading to a quite confusing ending.
X
Reviewed on Jul 17, 2024
I think this movie might be much more enjoyable for people who love cinema history, based on the amount of references in it and how much it goes for the 1970s slasher horror movie vibes.
For me, it was entertaining enough to keep me watching, but nothing really memorable.
