Le silence de la mer (2004)
Worse on all aspects than the previous version
Sentimental crap,watch the Jean Pierre Melville version of it made in 1949. The original has many philosophical themes which this version casually leaves out.
War and Peace (1956)
A disgrace to a wonderful story
I dont usually write reviews but it will be a disrespect to the source material if this is the version that is seen first
First,out of all different versions,this one is the weakest,I havent read the novel,but tolstoy has written a story that is both epic and intimate at the same time.
Depending on what interests the viewer,i will suggest two iterations.
My first recommendation to those who want to watch the epicness of this tale,i am delighted to suggest the bondarchuk version.the war scenes and the scale is one of the best ever put on screen but the acting on that one is pretty wooden.
My second recommendation is the bbc miniseries of war and peace,all the characters have been given justice in that one. If someone is looking for a great cast and good intimate story,watch the bbc version.
Now this piece of crap neither has the spectacle or scale of the bondarchuk version nor the intimacy of the bbc miniseries.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Epic conclusion that somehow feels cheap
First of all,the movie is not the the best movie ever unlike some of the reviews telling here,they are marvel shills,don't listen to them, it is not even the best MCU movie.There are a lot of flaws.First thing to discuss the plot,that is stupid,because if Thanos of 2014 comes in 2023 ,then that Thanos never comes in 2018,because he gets killed,infinity war never happens,so how is this movie even possible.The second thing and that might be a bit personal but the movie was advertised as the conclusions of the arcs of the original avengers,they nailed the Arc of iron man,but falcon is not Steve Rogers,there is just one captain America and he can never be replaced.They did it to team him up with Bucky because there is a series coming out on Disney+.and then thor leaves his throne and gives it to the most idiotic person in Asgard, Valkyrie.She is a drunkard,she doesn't shows any attributes of a ruler.Worst decision ever.And u know the reason they did this to pair him up with guardians,so they set up a gotg sequel,they set up a web series and they forced captain Marvel down the audience throats.She just arrived a month ago and is the most egoistic person of the entire MCU.her each line of dialogue is filled with ego and cringe but the action scenes are dope.And why does Hawkeye sacrifices Natasha,Bruce should do it because she is the most loved person in banner's life,not of hawkeye.the best one is when captain America lifts Mjolnir,the theatre was filled with roars for a couple of minutes.Overall just a good movie with enough flaws that sinks it in front of its much better prequel.
Aquaman (2018)
Good but sucks in editing
The movie was fun, enjoyed it very much.The CGI was great,the action scenes were good but some of them unnecessary,the kingdom of fisherman should have been left out coz they don't have any value in the movie as we are told that they are good people who respect knowledge and avoid conflict ,it would be great if they saved them for the sequel .Overall it feels a little tiring at the end.It stands at roughly 145 minutes which could be trimmed down to 2 hours.Momoa plays Aquaman like a goofy guy but he has lot of charisma because he has a lot of chemistry with all the cast including Dafoe,heard,Nicole Kidman and his father too.The moment in which he appears with the classic suit and the golden trident,that scene is epic,pure magic.The jokes were fine, could've worked with some little of them.The movie starts very fast but it slows a little bit in the middle.The villains were proper characters with a sense of personality.Both of them were distinct.One's motivation is ambition and the others is rage.
Vikram Vedha (2017)
Best chemistry between the protagonist and the antagonist in recent Indian film industry.
At last, a movie on IMDb that stands to its hype.One of the best movies of 2017.the way the antagonist influence the protagonist has not been seen for a long time. It has just one flaw,this movie shouldn't have songs.They are useless,don't add much to the movie.Simply,skip them.Belive me,the chemistry between the good and the bad is similar to the dark knight.Hell,it even has a interrogation scene like tdk.The cliffhanger at the climax makes the audience a part of the narrative.The way bad guy is written ,it is very rare for an Indian movie to do it bcoz in India,most of the time the hero is a big superstar who won't let his role be diminished. Hats off to this movie for taking such a bold step.This is how classical literature should be adapted or at least made a part of the plot.
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
Seriously ,I don't understand the hype.
Honestly,leave the hype aside but this doesn't feels like movie.The scenes are very small that leads to exhaustion from the audience point of view.Let the fanboys scream,but this is not a great movie but a mediocre one.this doesn't deserves a rating of 9.1 that puts it higher above the dark knight which is ridiculous.
Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
Character arc goes to dustbin
I know fanboys are tough to argue with but what has happened to the critics.This movie takes the previous two movies,throws then out of the room without any justifications.In the first two movies,Thor is a serious guy with sometimes ego problems but in this he simply behaves like a child.Every frame is filled with humour which is good the humour is brilliant but when you just kinda revamp the character without any explanation,the movie sucks.at least show us how he changed from Odin son to a 11 year old child.The VFX was good.it justifies its 200 million budget.I am seeing a problem with the critics while judging a marvel movie,they term each movie to be the best.This movie has 90% ratings on rotten tomatoes,are u kidding me.It is in the same league of the likes of The dark Knight and Logan which is ridiculous.Its a disrespect to those movies.If the critics are afraid of Marvel fanboys,don't be.But please think before rating any movie as the best the studio has to offer.The sudden change in character is also seen in justice league with Batman and everybody on the internet bashed it.Please don't rate Marvel movies,in a dishonest manner,in a flattering way.
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
Seriously is this the best MCU can offer
In many articles,this was written as the best movie in MCU.It is not.The movie made no sense, character development was rushed and the villain. One of the worst villain.Only stepenwolf of the. Justice league beats him.This movie doesn't deserves a rating above 8.Seriously,the movie had many flaws.I don't understand why the critics view Marvel in such a high note.This movie was mediocre at best.Don't watch this only because of the hype marvel generates,skip this one.It is a waste of your time.
The Dark Knight (2008)
Forget any other superhero movie,it is one of the best movies ever made.
Even after 10 years,this movie is still unbeatable in its respective genre.Heath ledger iconic portrayal of the joker is unparalleled. There is no any other movie in which the antagonist influenced so much of the movie.Believe me,Heath just nailed his character.its an amazing story concerning about human psychology and its reactions when pressured till the breaking point.this movie will be studied in film schools.this movie is like booze,gets better with time.Mark my words,this movie is the shining kohinoor of the superhero genre, shining,flawless and unparalleled.
The Godfather (1972)
Over rated
Why is this so overrated? The wedding sequence is so dull ,it made me bored.Come on the editor has done an ugly job.This movie could well be in 130-150 minutes.An overrated movie that takes too much time.Believe me skip this one,it will leave a bad taste in your mouth.The movie stands to its hype.
Breathe (2018)
The first web series that can be binge watched.Just give it a try without any doubt,u will thank me later.
The moment I saw the trailer,I knew that it was going to be an interesting.The casting is awesome,the background score is brilliant. As soon as the title music starts,u know that you are going to be hooked up.it just kicks any other Indian web series out of the park.I like deep flawed characters.R madhavan as a loving father is relatable. In episode 7 when u watch him kill his girlfriend, that scene just left me awestruck.kudos the amazon team that has restored my faith on Hindi film industry.Hoping to see content like this from amazon prime.
