Arthur the King (2024)
Just not it
The fun parts were clearly in the trailer and the rest the movie is boring and slow. No matter how the edit wants to make you feel it is fast and exiting. If you came for the dog just skip the first 25 minutes!
If you want people to root for a team, maybe don't make al the lead characters this unlikable. Cos I honestly couldn't care less if they even make it to the finnish. Some stupid entitled snobs being paid by other stupid entitled snob to just run around for money. While being in a country filled with people who have no job and money to even get food.
I watched a short doc on this story and loved it and the people, how they made it into this cringy movie I just don't understand at all! The country and nature is clearly very beautiful, but I would recommend to dog lovers who are not into sport to just look up the short doc and skip this 2 hours of people running around for the sake of..... umm something that is totally lost on my by now.
When some one says 'just leave the dog here it will be dead tomorrow'.... when THE DOG was the reason I came to watch (and this is said by a main character NOT the evil antagonist), then I couldn't care less if they fall and break a leg or not. For the record the dog is running around to find food and survive, those morons are running around for.... what... views? Seriously pathetic! Look around you! AND BE NICE TO OTHERS instead of just demanding respect from others, cos you are good at some dumbass sport.
Taal is zeg maar echt mijn ding (2018)
If you liked the book - Don't bother watching this!
The book was so original, but this is yet another boring Dutch type of romcom. Why!? Why!? Why!? It had such potential! If you want a cliché movie based on a book, get one of the hundreds of cliché books, instead of just abusing a bestseller simple and only for it' s name.
The book was great because of the voice of the writer, but who do they cast for the lead role.... yet another annoying perky dorky girly woman (weer een trutjehola ... zeg maar). WHY NOT PAULIEN!!!??? Or some one LIKE her at least!!!
If this is how you translate a book into a movie, you might as well turn mein kamp into a romcom, or the flipping yellow pages. THIS IS PATHETIC!! As always: a gay couple, an old popular actor, one of the same 10 younger male actors you see in every Dutch movie, and bad fake awkward acting.
I can only hope the writer was payed well, cos that would be the only good thing coming out of this movie if you ask me.
You can easily watch 10 seconds, skip 10 minutes and repeat. You won't miss anything interesting at all.
Terwijl in het boek een interessante blik op taal wordt getoond. Toont deze film enkel een blik op een saaie zeurderige ondankbare truthola. Dat is zeg maar, NIET echt mijn ding!
A Boy Called Christmas (2021)
just no
Umm bullying a minority of people intro having them work for free... isn't called Christmas its called slavery.
That is NOT nice spirited movie! The bossy lady was right to chase of intruders who steal inhabitants.
And then sending away lots of free things to show how much you have spare.... well that is how war gets started....
The kids are good actors ill grant you that, but I dont get how they got it wrong with such a nice cast, set and vfx crew.... Just a pitty! Just really really badly written. Maybe stop doing the Chrismas thing over and over and over again, by tryin a new angle on it. There are tons of stories to use. GET CREATIVE!
Jupiter Ascending (2015)
Terrible audio
As usual Chaning Tatum plays the same dude he does in every movie he is in. -_- BOOORINGGGG. Thankfully Kunis is charming as always, even thought her character is as bland as a potato. Maybe if he is suppose to be this special person, make her less average (aside from her stunning looks).
I do love the VFX it makes up a lot for the unoriginal story. But the audio mixing takes away so much.
How am I suppose to enjoy a movie when i have to manually put the audio up and down. My ears hurt when there is a sudden expulsion. And then after it the bad guys starts whispering and i have no idea what he says at all.
Can all Hollywood audio mixers go for a hearing test! Perhaps they have done it for to long they have gone deaf. Cos im sick and tired of movies being so damn loud.
What could have been an amazing movie, really should have had a leading person with a better over view of what is important. You cant just write a mediocre story and put a VFX team on it in the hope that will fix it.
Look Both Ways (2022)
Could have been any other job
I hardly ever write reviews.... But as a female 2d/3d animator I kinda felt obligated to post something.
Although the story was cute, honestly she could have been a lot of other things. Nothing of what she showed in her portfolio was actually animated. So yeah what that boss of her said is about the closest to the real thing. Accept that she would have gotten that speech from a teacher the first year for sure (seen it happen irl).
I sincerely DONT appreciate that she got the job in the first place, cos that guy was attracted to her. AS IF that is the only way you can get a job in a mans world! And b that is really uncool to the other people who applied. Who were way more talented and c not how it goes in the real world at all. A lot of people apply for cool jobs, your portfolio is key. (The amount of free jobs people post, cos they want help on a low budget production, is very true on the other hand).
In the real world she would have known she could start as a freelancer, at her parents place to work on her portfolio and find jobs online, when she had the baby. And if you go to a restaurant were a lot of people are. Who like the same thing as you do..... it is nothing like that boring event they showed. GO network girl! I think what was most out of karakter was the way they spoke about their favorite animation movie. LOL jeeeeez it looked like they were talking about an aunt who died. THAT is NOT how creative people talk about the things they love. XD
Like I said it was a cute movie, but if she was an animator, she is about the blandest one i have ever seen. And working on an ipad! YEAH right!!!! XD Why did they not just ASK the animators to give feedback? I always knew dokters never feel like those medical dramas are showing the real deal.... Well now i know how they feel. Maybe they chose animation as her job, cos people dont really know that much about what we do. But saying she does 3d work (when it is not just a cute skill but a serious commitment) and not even show any of her 3d work or even mention the word software.....yeah that's just ..... wrong...
So in short she could have been aaaanything else, from real estate agent to fashion designer. Animator what just chosen so they could ad cute drawings, if I have to try to understand their logic of choice.
Lucifer (2016)
More of the same
When i saw the first sneak peak I was exited right away, and liked the pilot too. But now in season 3, its is more and more the same of the same... More like so many other cop-couple shows like Bones and Castle. The intro of S03E05 could have been right out of a Bones episode. And more like the episode of the week before.
Lucifer is portrayed lovely, and Maze was nice too but gets to be like a caricature of her character more and more.
Ella lopes... do we really need ANOTHER cliché side kick geek squint? Original 0,0, appreciate the actress tough.
Now last and defiantly least Chloe Decker. Why couldn't she just have been killed of in season 2? PLEASE!!!! The character has no character at all. Aside from the gorgeous face of Lauren German, the personage is as bland and boring as an empty cardboard box. The only interesting thing about her is her daughter, who often contributes to the funniest scenes of the show.
If this decrees goes on, my rating will go from 9 (total recommender) to 3 (dont bother wasting your time). It is just sad how the can come up with an original idea, only to form it into the shape of what we already have seen 1000 times.
