Bad Boys II (2003)
A disapointment.
Some things never change - some should - the 2 is a clone of the 1st one with more chases, bigger guns and fancy new car for Smith's character. The "dead body - queasy Burnett" is back, we have seen that though. Overall impression is that the new cannot overshadow the 1995 freshness of the first installment. Other beside that the plot is paper thin, the duration of this is 2hrs 20 minutes - with a bit of editing one cold make it down to 1,45 minutes, there isnt really much substance in between the explosions and gun fights.
The Ferrari car chase though, very dynamic, i could say even more so than the much lauded Matrix Reloaded freeway chase.
Final words - by the end of the 2nd hour i was only hoping for it to end. Exhausting experience.
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
All effect, subzero substance
Anybody wondered why Aliens, Blade Runner, Predator were such good movies ? a) a good plot and decent dialogs, and b) great acting. How could Mr. Lucas hire Hayden Christensen for a lead role - he should have remained in Canadian sope operas, who is so wooden he could make up for the Yoda's missing cane. All he does is glimpses from underneath his eyebrows to express some emotions. There is no substitute for acting school, expierience or well, talent for that matter.
The movie itself deserves a "Alternative Cut" for DVD which would not include : the superficial and totally unconvincing "romance plot" between Anakin and Amidala, their entire time away when Anakin is suppose to protect her, their picnic when they exchange their angry views of a 6 year old on current state of intergalactic politics, which are absolutely intelligence insulting to anybody older than 10 years old.
To sum up : Bad casting(Hayden), lousy, trivial, nonsense dialogs, sudden rushes of action interleaved by a dull, boring, soap opera-like filling and CGI-everywhere - apparently a good mix these days for making half a billion dollars.
Sayônara, Jûpetâ (1984)
What a disaster !!!
I watched it once about 8 years ago or more, i am a sci-fi fan thats why i rented it. To this day i havent seen a worst movie. Ridiculous plot, lousy acting, crappy Ed Wood-style special (d)effects. Steer clear away from this.
