I Watched It So You Can Decide If You Should: My Latest Movie Review
There are movies I walk out of thinking, “Wow. I need to tell everyone to see that.”
Then there are movies where I walk out thinking:
“What the hell did I just watch?”
And sometimes those are much more fun to review.
My latest movie review is up, and rather than give away everything I thought about the movie here, I'm going to do something simple:
I'm inviting everyone to watch the review.
Why?
Because I've learned that a Rotten Tomatoes score doesn't necessarily mean I’ll love a movie.
A great cast doesn't guarantee a great movie.
An interesting premise doesn't guarantee the story will work.
And critics and audiences can sometimes watch the same movie and seemingly experience two completely different films.
That's one of the reasons I started doing these reviews.
I'm Not a Professional Movie Critic
I don't have a film degree.
I'm not analyzing whether the director properly paid homage to some obscure French film from 1962.
And I'm probably not going to explain the metaphorical significance of a lamp sitting in the corner of the room.
I'm a guy who likes movies.
I have Regal Unlimited. I go to the theater. I buy my popcorn. I get my Pepsi Zero. I sit down, watch the movie, and decide whether those two hours of my life were well spent.
That's my highly sophisticated rating system.
And when something doesn't work?
I'm going to say it.
When something surprises me?
I'll say that too.
And occasionally, a movie gives me so much material that reviewing it becomes almost as entertaining as watching it.
So, Was This Movie Worth Watching?
I'm not answering that here.
That's the bait.
🎬 In my full movie review, I break down what worked, what didn't, what made absolutely no sense to me, and whether I think the movie was worth my money—and my time.
I'm sure some people will completely disagree with me.
Actually, I hope they do.
Because that's half the fun.
After watching the review, I'm curious whether everyone thinks:
Did Niel get it right, or has he completely lost his mind?

Because I'm going to keep watching them.
The good ones. The bad ones. And especially the ones that make me wonder who approved the script.
Is Is God Is Worth Watching? The Title Almost Kept Me Away
I almost skipped Is God Is.
Not because of the cast. Not because of the story. Simply because I couldn't figure out what the title meant.
After finally watching it on Prime Video, I'm glad I gave it a chance.
This revenge thriller has moments that remind me of Kill Bill, features a talented cast, and raises questions that stay with me long after the credits roll. It isn't a perfect movie, but it's definitely one that got me thinking.
In my latest video, I break down what worked, what didn't, why the title makes more sense after watching the film, and whether I think it's worth adding to your watch list.
