Clickbait

Mildly interesting at first, but then turned into some ridiculously far-fetched crowd-sourcing bullshit with random people searching for a person and marking areas as "all clear". I stopped watching.
i did read the ending of "archive 81" was iffy

By the end mano a mano in the rain, when Reacher throws away his gun for a fist fight, I was laughing.
Schlock.

I went digging on the internet to try to find out why this garbage has such a good rep.
Turns out, people are stupid.
I'd rate it a solid 5/10. Worth watching, but not great and I wouldn't watch it above a lot of other stuff.

The fight scenes in general were mostly ridiculous, and most of the mystery should have been solved by like episode 4 or 5 if you're the least bit paying attention. Walt Longmire would eat his lunch in the mystery solving department.

Wut?

Jack Reacher, the movie film. Not episodes.

"archive 81" by netflix.

guy hired to restore tapes about a filmmaker studying a strange building in nyc 20 years ago

murder, catolics, cults, time travel(?), mystery, family ties, etc ...

3 eps in , interesting
eps 1-6, better than average, eps 7-8 sucked bad

Currently watching an old favorite, of everybody's, Die Hard 2.

It's pretty bad, can't believe I used to like this.

Apart from Samuel L. Jackson as black man who hates white people, who's almost always good in his roles, this is a stinker.

The script is very hackneyed now, the dialogue sounds like all the cliches.

The tone is sketchy. We're supposed to be invested in this threat of bombs going off, but there are joke moments by passing characters that undercut the drama.

I haven’t watched it in a long time but I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t hold up.

The best part about it for me was watching the edited for content version where Jackson called Willis a “racist melon farmer”
Is that the one with Justin Long?

Die Hard was a classic, but the sequels became more and more ridiculous.

The second one had that laughable scene where the 747 takes off whilst leaking fuel, and John McLaine lights the fuel on the runway with his Zippo and the flame somehow overtakes the jet and causes the entire thing to explode.

The fourth one had a scene where he shot down a helicopter using a car, and no further explanation should be necessary as to why that one was utterly ludicrous.
