Artificial intelligence is created, but they forgot to send a philosopher, so things go to shit somehow there are survivors.

It borrows from various other things, but doesn’t execute anything very well. It just comes off as being badly written. I should have guessed based on the production company’s amateur-night page.

The title is a play on the singularity.

After the assassination of his father, a new king is crowned for an insular but extraordinary nation, but he does not go unchallenged.

I decided to watch this, breaching my “no more superhero movies” position, because there was some fascinating drama surrounding it.

Not recommended: I can’t understand why anyone would think this is particularly good for any particular reason. Aside from being all manner of racist, it does not provide any intellectual cud to chew on.

Hercules explained as fiction instead of mythology.

An adequate movie.

I don’t even know where to begin with summarizing this mess.

I guess it’s watchable, but it’s not exactly exciting.

Dragonborn-twins have drama.

If you like the others in the Dragonheart series, then I suppose this is worth a watch.

An alien grows up with super powers.

Bunches of this movie make no sense. It’s cute and dated, but ultimately not great because of moments of terrible writing.

Supergirl is super, and something about the last of the fleet that isn’t the last, and Leia is immortal and shit characters and shit writing.

The earlier movies are mandatory for this. If you thought the earlier movies were shit, then this is the nail in the coffin. Just let the franchise die.
