Black Lagoon

I feel like a rebel, so many ratings and all of them pretty high. Then I come along and say no, never, definitely not giving it any more because it didn’t give me anything. I wasn't even much entertained by it. Unfortunately, it didn't even "force" me to forget that it might not make sense and that it might be over the top, after all, it's all for fun! Sorry, I wasn't convinced. Rock missed the mark at times, Revy was a smug poor thing who thought she had it hardest in the whole world, so she could act the way she did. "Fortunately" Rock gave her a lecture and from that time on things, shall we say, improved – that legendary "lecture" in the market over a bowl of spilled ramen that I was so looking forward to, because it was supposedly so terribly rad and cool. In the end, even that wasn't so great. It was just Rock losing it. Benny and Dutch just seemed to be excess baggage at times and Dutch's contacts were nothing more than just to solve the situation, a.k.a. deus ex machina. So for some this may be a good, relaxing series where they have fun, check out some action, ogle women with guns, just enjoy it and walk away satisfied. Then there's me, who didn't relax with it and got bored with the same old formula, just hidden behind different objectives. The OST isn't anything I care to hear again either. (24/04/2012)
