Korra N Wildly stupid, melodramatic & unintentionally hilarious. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review SkyRo P Songbird (2020) is a dystopian thriller based on the COVID-19 pandemic—but in this version, the virus has mutated into COVID-23. Society has completely collapsed. People are dying in massive numbers, strict lockdowns are in place, and if you’re caught outside, the CDC doesn’t quarantine you—they exterminate you. It’s a terrifying setup where “tag and bag” has become a reality, and the government is more authoritarian than protective. The movie follows immune couriers who can travel freely, marked by yellow bands on their arms. KJ Apa plays one of them, and although he looks noticeably thinner than usual, his performance is solid. Apa has serious star power, and he’s one of the few actors who always brings emotional weight, even in chaotic material. Demi Moore also stars, and honestly, she’s a standout. No matter what she’s in, she carries herself with grace and power. She’s just magnetic. Sophia Carson, too, delivers a surprisingly strong performance. Known mostly for lighter roles, she proves here that she can handle serious material. Get her out of the Disney/comedic bubble, and she’s honestly impressive. But the scene-stealer? Peter Stormare. He’s flat-out terrifying in this movie. His character is disturbingly gleeful about hunting down people, and he brings a creepy intensity that makes your skin crawl. Now, let’s be real—the movie is far from perfect. The script has holes, the pacing can be clunky, and some of the world-building feels underdeveloped. But is it the trainwreck that critics made it out to be? Not at all. I think much of the hate came from the timing—it was made and released during the real-life pandemic, and that was just too soon for a lot of people. Still, Songbird deserves at least a thumbs up. It’s not amazing, but it’s watchable, and at times, even gripping. It’s one of those “decent enough” movies that doesn’t blow your mind, but doesn’t waste your time either. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/08/25 Full Review Adam W I think Rotten 🍅's missed the mark on this one. I'm a little late to give a rating, but wth. First of all Peter Stomare, as always, is a phenomenal actor that is way underrated. He always plays the part he plays well. The movie didn't have a bad storyline and it was a little intense at times. Not my favorite movie of all time, but definitely not the worst thing I've seen. Most movies now are just old remake's of old movies. I watched the movie purely out of curiosity but was surprised that it was pretty decent. Not my usual type of movie. It was good and definitely worth watching for myself. That's why I always watch a movie before I look at what ratings they've received. Have u seen the new Capt America movie? Rotten 🍅's scored it @ 45% and this movie @ 7%. Captain America Brave New World was bad beginning to end. It didn't deserve a 15% score. It makes me wonder!! Just my opinion though. Watch it for yourself and decide. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review Marco L Inmune intenta llevar el miedo y la ansiedad de la pandemia del COVID-19 al terreno de la ciencia ficción distópica, pero termina siendo una broma de mal gusto. Con una trama que se esfuerza demasiado en ser relevante, se convierte en una parodia tonta y sin sentido de lo que el tema realmente merece. Los personajes son planos, las situaciones inverosímiles y la narrativa tan predecible que es casi dolorosa. Lejos de aportar una reflexión interesante o un ángulo novedoso, Inmune parece más una excusa para explotar el tema del COVID sin ninguna sensibilidad o creatividad real. Es un auténtico bodrio que hace perder el tiempo a cualquier espectador que busque algo más que clichés y sensacionalismo barato.
