Welcome to Part 1 of my full playthrough of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022)! In this episode, we dive straight into the action with an explosive start to the campaign. Get ready for intense firefights, strategic gameplay, and a thrilling story as we embark on this high-stakes mission....
Effectively unsettling at times, but stretches a thin story too far. A tighter runtime could have made the slow burn much more potent.
Clunky choreography and wooden pacing drag down what should have been a slick, stylish ride. Even the trademark flair of Luc Besson can’t save this from feeling like Yawn Wick.
Strong acting and solid period detail help carry the weight of a story that doesn’t quite soar. It’s competent and respectful, if not particularly memorable.
Unflinching and immersive, it captures the brutality and confusion of combat with terrifying authenticity—tense, visceral, and hard to shake.
Twisted and imaginative, it injects nasty fun into familiar fairy tale beats. The grotesque visuals stand out, even when the story stumbles.
Grounded and intense, it paints a chillingly believable picture of societal collapse. Imperfect, but its realism leaves a strong impression.
Has the bones of a good creature feature but drags too often to build real tension. A few eerie moments can’t save the sluggish pace.
Pure chaos from start to finish, but that’s half the charm. Makes no sense and doesn’t care — just enjoy the ride and let Wiseau do his thing.
Ambitious and full of potential, it keeps you intrigued but never quite delivers the punch it promises. Almost great — just missing that final spark.
A clever premise keeps things engaging, and the ride is fun if you’re into high-concept setups. Just don’t expect the title to fully cash its check.
Swings between horror, grief, and comedy without ever finding the right branch to land on. Uneven pacing and tonal whiplash keep it from being more than a curiosity.
It started off really strong, but I have no idea why it needed to be 2.5 hours—the middle dragged quite a bit. Thankfully, the wild ending helped bring it back around.
Wild, stylish, and bursting with energy — even if not every moment lands, the ambition and flair make it a fascinating piece of its era.
Visually slick and full of mood, but it meanders without much payoff. Ends up feeling more like a vibe experiment than a fully formed narrative.
