1991: The Year Punk Broke (1992)
Awful
Terrible sound and terribly filmed. I could have found this good, interesting and even likeable if they added context to it. Like an interview with the people (those still alive!) in it today. What they thought about it, what lessons was learned, now we are here and now we go there etc. Instead you see the musicians you admired act like total jerks saying and doing one irritating stupid thing after the other. Not even cool nor funny, just dumb.
Big parts seem to be random VHS films taken by, I assume, drunk random people that all of a sudden finds out that the camera has a zoom. Then they try and succeed in filming as much as possible as little as possible while zooming in and out.
It is not all like that but enough to make me hate this. I am an old guy, born in 65 and loved this scene with the grunge and punk rock. Really sad to hate a film about a topic I love.
Invasion (2021)
Slow but good
This sci-fi is different. The story moves forward really slow with several parallell chain of events. On occassions it is even a bit too slow in my taste. But it is good, terrifying and, if sci-fi can be that, realistic. A refreshing change from the overload of action (which I like too) one gets in many of today's films and shows. I like the lack of explanations of why it all happens, the lack of information for those in the story, the very human span of reactions from characters and that it take place in different cultures in different countries and continents. I'm glad I took my time to see it through and I hope for a season 2 as there should be considering the end scene...
Robin Hood (2018)
Terrible
Not even with fast forwarding on netflix was this easy to finish. I like a good action flick and do not mind if things are really twisted. But if it is stupid, boring, one-dimensional and super predictable it is just too much. If I would have been 7 or 8 then maybe, but since I am not this is just awful.
