The Beekeeper (2024)
Very bad.
"He's a lonesome man with special skills.
They killed/hurt his loved one.
They're evil and dumb...
He's going to KILL THEM ALL !!!!"
If you're going to present this over-used plot, you should consider - maybe, a little maybe - trying and bring something original, a little improvement. Since you'll go full cliché, maybe give one hint that you're not treating the audience like a bunch of mental sloth....
Well, too late.. Now that movie is done and a precious amount of resources and time was wasted doing this absolute nonsense of a movie.
It's the worst thing I saw in probably the last 5 years.
Meg 2: The Trench (2023)
In my top 5 "Worst Movies I ever saw."
The idea that a group of people worked on that, and willingly attached their name to it, and even showed their face in it, is baffling.
It's terrible, dumb, ugly, no scarry nor funny, not even unwillingly funny. It's just embarrassing and sad.
A total waste of time.
There's never any blood shown, not even a drop, which means those big sharks pretty much gobble people - they got teeth, but apparently those are designed to chew threw metal and wood structures, and boats that are in the way. That, they like to eat somehow.. Entire wood piers, that's like biscuits for them.
There's a guy who managed to tame a shark, and that shark escapes... for what ? Is it going to be useful (i was hoping, because that's the only original idea in the film). Alas, no, itcwas just there to show that this guy tamed a shark for nothing.
Don't watch it.
Emily the Criminal (2022)
Very good BUT.... it's a remake.
I love everything about that movie, especially the fantastic performances of the 2 main actors, BUT, this movie is a untold remake (so, yup: plagiarism) of one of my favorite french movie "Not for, or Against (Quite the Contrary)" {Original title: Ni pour, ni contre (bien au contraire)}, directed by Cédric Klapisch in 2003.
Emily the criminal follows the exact same plot, and offers several similar scenes from the beginning to the end.
The only 2 slight improvements are:
- Emily is a more compelling character than Caty, more tortured and strained by her student debt.
- The big depot heist at the end of "Not for Nor Against" is toned down to a more "human scale" robbery, somehow more realistic.
So Emily the Criminal is indeed a good effort, and overall a good movie, but I hope Cédric Klapisch will be mentioned some day, because his original movie is a masterpiece.
Dexter: New Blood: Sins of the Father (2022)
Best ending possible. Sad but not disappointed.
People seems to conflate sadness with disappointment. One can be sad at Dexter's death, but he did deserve to be killed. It's not a disappointing end at all.
For Harrisson, it's his first (of many ?) kill, and a litterral way to "kill the father".
Also, Dexter failed the code many times, but it's ultimate mistake of getting finally caught, was the one he had to pay with his life.
There's a logic to all those points, that makes them almost inevitable.
I loved it, sad but not disappointed.
Go.
Rocketman (2019)
The better Bohemian Rhapsody...
Much much better...
Original, flamboyant, romanticized but still honest, well paced... It's everything the Queen movie failed to be.
Game of Thrones: The Bells (2019)
Fantastic ! Childish fans will hate.
Perfect and inevitable progression for Daeny, who saw herself as a liberator, but never brought any freedom other than the one to do the same things as under the tyrans. And US patriots surely will miss this kind of political message, that the show subtely offers
Star Wars angry fans ("Disney ruined my childhood !!!) apparently came in mass to comment here... As another commentator wrote here, "Fans are the worst ennemies of the show..."
