Argylle (2024)
Painfully bad
Matthew Vaughn, what have you done? This movie wanted to be a fun action flick, not to be taken seriously, but it was just a cringe-fest instead, painful as possible through and through. To be fair, it starts well, but after a certain twist it goes downhill very fast.
I wanted this movie to be successful because of Henry Cavill, but fortunately (for him) he was only just an imaginary character, a caricature of a super spy, for a very short time in the whole movie, and he is still good at it. The whole movie is so fake, the CGI is extremely bad, no chemistry between the two protagonist, the action scenes absolutely over the top but in a bad way. Samuel L. Jackson, what the hell he was doing in this movie?
This movie is a misfire, I barely could watch it through and I facepalmed many times. Some reviewers here say it is fun. Yes, pain can be fun, if you are a masochist.
Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (2023)
Rebel Sloooooow Moooooon-tion
I really do start to believe that AI writes the scripts of these kind of movies (I'm looking at The Creator). Nothing is original in it, but it would be OK if other elements were good. I'm even willing to buy that a 100 pounds woman destroys 6-7 200 pounds soldiers but at least create a believable choreography, make her extremely fast or agile or something. Making these scenes in slooooooow moooooootiooooooon amplifies this problem. Slow motion is inconsistent, it's there even if it wasn't necessary at all like when walking out of a ship or turning a table over for a makeshift cover.
Of course the lead is female, the rebel team has to be as diverse as possible, in where male members have to be saved or have to amend their way of life. Of course the bad guys are all white guys sinister looking hulks with bald head and beard or rude brutes with military haircut and square-chin... except the good one who is somewhat colored and scrawny. Even their uniform resembles those German uniforms of the 2nd WW. They have been doing these kind of things in every movie, in every series for years and it's extremely boring by now.
The movie is visually OK. You can see the possible Star Wars movie in it (Snyder originally inteded this movie as one). But it would have been bad as a Star Wars movie as well. Not that nowadays the Star Wars brand is a guarantee for quality, quite the contrary.
Reacher (2022)
MORE!
I want more of this or something like this. No aliens, mutants, superheros, and none of the nowadays very fashionable agendas are pushed. It's actually a pretty simple but thoroughly enjoyable show, with good action and a dynamic and captivating storyline, but the main attraction is Alan Ritchson as Reacher. He was born to be Reacher. I've read some of the Lee Child books, and they're OK-ish but nothing special, and it seems these books are more entertaining on the screen than written. It's surprisingly good.
Wild Roots (2021)
Excellent movie
Heart warming and heart breaking at the same time. The two main characters are played by amateur actors but they are so genuine and so natural, you can't believe they really are... Don't miss it if you have a chance to watch it, I promise you won't regret it.
No Sudden Move (2021)
Boring as hell
First "Kimi" and now this as huge disappointments from Soderbergh who seemingly lost his mojo. Slow, messy, uninteresting, pretentious. Felt like 4 hours. There's only one scene in the whole movie I actually felt some tension, and it was in the first 30 minutes, otherwise, characters telling boring things about persons and events we are supposed to care or comprehend but we get so confused that we can't.
Le sommet des dieux (2021)
Perfect...
...in every way. Excellent story, breathtaking visuals, superb sounds and score. Easily the best film in 2021 though it hasn't been a real competition with a bunch of crap movies released in this year. Sometimes I couldn't believe it was an animation. The story is so heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. A hidden gem on Netflix, absolutely worth watching it.
Raised by Wolves (2020)
I want the stuff the creators of this show are on.
As many wrote before me, it starts good, and ends... interestingly, at least. As i progressed with the episodes, i had a feeling i've seen something like this before: it is just like Lost. Throw a bunch of weird, unbelievable and amazing thing in the mixer and we'll somehow get to somewhere with all this... I hope not to that legendary stupid and disappointing ending like in Lost.
The thing that bothered me the most is that in the 2nd episode we learn it's 2145 on Earth, it's already in a world destroying war between atheist and Sol-believers. I'm just not able to accept that 125 years later from now we would have a technology like that, but more importantly, this brand new world religion could come to life and divide humanity in this large scale.
I'm not sure about this show.
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
Wasted
It's a shame that this show had to end like this. It felt so rushed while they had an extra year to polish it. I had high hopes for a satisfying ending even after the 8x1-5 episodes but now i only feel sad and disappointed. The most tragic thing is that it was one of the greatest show in television history and now we all will rembember it as one of the worst ending in television history. 'Lost' and 'Dexter' can rejoice, and the throne of 'Breaking Bad' is still intact.
Drive Angry (2011)
This must be a joke...
Sorry, i must say this as straight as i can: this movie is terrible. I had the "fortune" to watch it free before the official release. I almost left the cinema but i stayed because of some perverse masochism. Some movie is so bad that it's worth to watch it...
The story in one sentence: a grandfather escapes from hell to save his grandchild from a Satan-sect. OK, this is something i would give a couple of million dollars to make a movie with B stars straight to DVD. But it's supposed to be a mainstream movie with names like Nicholas Cage, William Fichtner, David Morse, shot in 3D.
The movie itself is like a fantasy of a 13 years old teenager: cool cars, hot chicks, and a lot of pew-pew. But it's rather ridiculous then cool. The bad soundtrack just lays emphasis on it. The so called evil character is pathetic, thanks to a really poor acting. The action sequences are boring and ordinary (except one cool moment when a car falls into a hole in the very front of Milton).
3D does NOT help, a bottle of vodka before the movie DOES help.
I'd say this is the worst movie of this decade, however it's only 2011. And there is another "movie" form a guy named Justin Bieber "Never say never" that has an average of 1.1. Which one will get the Razzie in 2011?
The Departed (2006)
I can't help, i have to compare this movie to the original...
I don't like this movie. Scorsese definitely doesn't deserve the Oscar for THIS movie. i watched the original and i must confess that movie is really a tense and thrilling film. the Scorsese movie is full of unnecessary and long dialogs. the relationship of billy and the shrink is totally unacceptable for me (a doctor and a fallen junkie cop...why would fall in love a doctor with this guy, however there were signs that the relationship of Madelyn and Colin is getting worse...but why???).
jack Nicholson's play is rather reminds me to that in "as good as it gets" than i would expect for a bloody-handed mafia boss.
the most interesting character is really the mark whalberg one. Matt Damon fits for that character and DiCaprio is good as always. that all i can say as positive.
