What a terrible show ruining the good credence the movie built
Denzel Washington is simply amazing. His work in Equalizer was amazing. Equalizer 2 was cartoony but Denzel still did well.
I randomly happened to watch an episode tonight on CBS of Equalizer thinking this was either Denzelsovie rerun or a new TV show based on it. Kept waiting for the Equalizer and then finally realized Queen Latifah was supposed to be the Equalizer.
Is this a joke? Is this like Saturday Night Live spoof or something?
She's horribly out of shape, a terrible actress and the entire premise is ridiculous? I was looking for some tough guy (like say the guy in the Limitless show or someone like The Rock or David Harbour type char) to show up. David Harbor would've been perfect imo. Theres a lot of other actors like him who would've been great as the Equalizer.
But her? Naaaah. She's useless and the fight scene cuts gave me a headache as I couldn't understand what went on and somehow she beat up 3 thugs easily. So women as now supposed to be physically on par with 6'2" 220lb men? Are these women like elephant builds? No. They're out of shape or dainty like Batgirl (or Batwoman or Batfemale or Batperson or Batthey or whatever they call themselves now) but easily discharge groups of men. Lol. Wut? They can't open jars but can do this?
Whom does this appeal to? I showed this episode to my wife and she said she hated it. She anyway dislikes action shows but commented how illogical it was that queen Latifah could beat all those 3 thugs and stopped watching it. I don't like it. That's women and men groups disliking it.
Older fans of Equalizer probably won't like it nor kids. Who is this fake show for?
