Madame Web (2024)
Someone needs to tell Dakota she can't act.
Of all the characters to be picked out of the Marvel universe and all the actress in the world. Sony manages to pick the 2 worst.
Madame web is a side character, not more interesting than supporting Spiderman or woman. The bizar thing is we taking about spider people now, there goes spiderman his uniqueness. It's a bit too much to translate every Comic book character to the big screen. Especially with the extremely complex back stories.
On top of that Dakota Johnson is a very bad actrice, who gets kuddos for the 50 shades franchise.
The 3 girls in the movie are portrait shallow and wierd. In the dinner For some reason 3 girls walk up to a table of boys and end up dancing on the table in the dinner. I dont know who wrote that scene but I hope they don't have kids.
Upcoming actresses who should have picked another movie.
It has its fun moments of visual entertainment besides that it's a hot mess.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023)
Not for people who don't like a story
If you are in for dumb action and numb storylines then Monarch a legacy of Monsters is not for you! It actually builds a story around the idiotic movies Hollywood is firing at us one by one. If you liked Godzilla vs Kong then you will definitely hate this. No over the top crazy special effects but a story about how monarch was created and the monsters are a second player. However this makes it interesting how would the world actually cope with something like this, where do the titans come from. Things to write a story about. So all the 1 and 2 star review have a very short focus span, if a monster don't pop up every 5 minutes they loose interest. If this describes you the please do not watch this. If you like a story and plot building, you probably have a good time watching this series.
The Brothers Sun (2024)
Xie xie
Holly hell, did the brothers Wu deliver on this promise. The show peeked my interest with the trailer. I mean Michelle Yeoh as the head of a major crime family is a no brainer.
The show has brilliant timing with its jokes, action and story. One never gets in the way the other and that balance is hardly seen these days, with over 85% of all streaming shows being mere garbage.
Somehow this shows pulls it of to combine, the 'drunken master" jokes with the "crouching tiger hidden dragon" action while writing a love letter to Chinese heritage.
All the actors are well on point. Sam Li pulls of the most difficult jokes with his timing and finesse. While Justin Chien is that Triad you don't want to mess with. To top it all of Michelle Yeoh is the Don, the beauty of it all no one doubts she could be the head of a major crime family.
The Wu brothers did and outstanding job to create the perfect crime family that we all root for!
Leave the World Behind (2023)
Well it started promising
Let make a movie, let's put all A list stars in it and let's take a story with stunning visuals. Should spell succes all by itself. Unfortunately it doesn't, stars of great with an average family on a vacay like we all do. The first sign of being something wrong is the characters that are extremely one dimensional, the actors who portraiy the kids really need some lessons in doing acting. They got on my nerves quickly, if that was intentional than it was brilliant. The mystery build and builds and you feel you deserve some clues about what's going on same as the protagonist, however very little is given. The explanations we do get are far and in between it feels like the movie is building towards a huge climax and that is where it has its biggest flaw. The climax simple never comes and the closing scène is one of the weakest I have seen in a long while.
If you like vague open endings do watch this if only for Ethan Hawk and Julia Roberts they are still masterful actors, the guest appearance of Kevin bacon is very interesting.
The Marvels (2023)
Please stop
Dear Disney/marvel
Could you do us a favor and stop making superhero movies for about a decade.
This one only holds up by a 21 y/o (imami) who seems to be the only one who actually wants to work for her paycheck.
Brie Larson once again proofs she's nothing more than a pretty face with acting skills to cry about.
Samuel l Jackson is only there because his contract says so, the man is obviously tired of playing Nick Fury but hey it pays the bills.
The story as always is all over the place, apparently that's a thing since The Avengers (spiderman no way home to be the exception). The jokes aren't well timed and the actors do not have chemistry at all.
In short just another cash cow for a specific audience's who is obviously inspired by social media since focusing on a true story is to difficult!
Black Lotus (2023)
Rico stick to your day job
Well what to say, I only gave this 4 stars because as someone living in the Netherlands Rico is a good guy and is a prime example to a lot of young people. Having said that the movie is a total disaster, the lines are short because most Dutch people can't follow a decent English conversation although they may claim they can. The story comes with so many plot holes that even swiss cheese might have a hard time competing. The spiral of not being able to produce a quality dutch movie is a given here, no story building no depth to the characters. The opening scene is rushed and the Camara work is extremely sloppy. The time of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sly Stallone has long passed, so Rico stick to what your good at, don't quit your day job and keep being an example for youngsters.
Blue Beetle (2023)
Omg this is not good
You would hope that after the Flash someone at WB/DC would think hey we losing a pile of money on our superhero movies perhaps we should stop making them. But NO not at WB/DC somehow Managers and directors producers and writer are allowed to F up there without consequences.
Ok were to start the acting is somewhat funny, sadly the movie doesn't take itself serieus what makes even the useful dialog questionable at least. The jokes are I'll timed, the story is told in a way a 10 year old should even get it, what shouldn't be your target for a widely unknown superhero.
After an hour I could look anymore, gets to insane the whole latin Brady bunch family have to safe our hero who got a bad ass suit but refuses to use it. Like come on cliche and lame AF.
Long story short someone should squash that Beatle and put it out of its misery quick!
Castlevania: Nocturne (2023)
Starts of slow but bare with it.
Well as been said In other reviews it doesn't pop off the screen the way the first one did. To say the least it starts of sloooowww but it does have its charm going for it. This time around its seems that we are treated to much more of a character build in Castlevania with protagonist that will grow on you slowly. Not having it clear how powerful the antagonist is in the first episodes of the new series makes it all the more interesting. The story in true Castlevania style throws you curve balls when you least expect it. The artwork is absolutely breathtaking even better than the first one if you ask me. It's a thrill that again starts slowly but at the end of this first season, you might ask the same question "who is Dracula" !
Heart of Stone (2023)
Gall why?
Well we all know that the screenwriters are on a strike apparently that doesn't matter since anyone can make bad movies...
First of the storyline is written extremely weak and honestly I'm still not convinced that, besides the obvious beauty that Fall Gadot brings can she actually act? Till now only the first wonder woman is mentionable and Red Notice and be honest that worked because of Ryan and Dwayne.
That aside the movie is incredible boring because neither character or the organization that is being depicted here are not explained. You be thrown into a random action scene whit target X and that pretty much it. Not even ones the movie builds up to its own set climax. What is left is a pretty face who does the most dumb CGI stunts with a limited of explication why.
If this is the movie you like that fine, please don't write a review that it's great. If this is great to your liking then barbie will blow your mind and that has a cast that can actually act and has a better scripts. To Gal either pick better scripts or focus on your noodle empire!
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023)
Please stop
Who ever give this movie higher then a 3, you do not know movies and good entertainment.
Where to start, play transformers one and this one side by side and it's exactly the same movie... Shea la bouf and Megan Fox have been replaced by more colorful counterparts and the rest of the movie is pretty much transformers one with some new robots.
Story is a drag and so predictable it's not even interesting anymore, the jokes are painful and awkwardly timed so no laughs there. Things blow up 2 humans need to safe the world with their robot friends, who are ridiculously stupid and I have no idea why because they were not this dumb in the cartoons.
The magic of the only two good transformer movies (tf 1 and bumblebee) is nowhere to be find.
To make things worse the antagonist are dull and no way interesting, the maximals are there but we are totally missing the predacons.
Michael bay might actually be a better director then the one of this transformers movie. Believe me that pains me to say since Michael bay leads the charge of my own personal list of worst director's.
Do us a favor and for now retire the transformers until climate change is fixed and they no longer have to be cars. Yeah and even I see the irony in that sentence.
Watch it on streaming when it comes out safe your money or even better don't watch it and save yourself the wast of time!
The Flash (2023)
Holy shitballs Batman this is good
Oke let's get the obvious out of the way, after the load of awful bad and no glory superhero movies comes The Flash.. a movie that I was totally going to skip since what good can come out of the DC universe today, or out of the super hero universe in general (I mean Ant man and GoG 3 where lot of things but good is not one of them).
However I did do my cinema duty and went to see The Flash, going in with zero expectations and holy hell. Can you imagine my surprise when I found myself laughing out loud in the first 10 minutes of the movie, although the CGI was to cry about the story and the jokes hit the right spot. Then just when I thought the movie slowed down they throw you a curve ball that's mad, I mean Michael Keaton is and always will be BATMAN and dear lord the old man delivers. I found myself in total awe and no it didn't stop there superman ain't here and he is kinda not missed.
The Flash is funny, cleaver and does not takes itself to serious. The jokes are extremely well timed and even those who are tired of the superhero movies like me will have a smile on their faces. Unfortunately this movie comes at a time that Hollywood made us tired with one dimensional movies.
Summing up give the Flash a chance it will make you leave the cinema with a feel good feeling!
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
Holy hell go see this
No idea what happened but a franchise finally got it right!
I went into this movie extremely sceptical, would it be another Ant man or a Shazam maybe an black Adam perhaps a book of Boba Fett or any other milked out franchise that are on the return faster then they yield in money at the cinema.
However this is not of those bad movies. This is Dungeons and Dragons, the game i played a million times and the animated series that covered some of my childhood. This is epic legendary an adventure with epic tales and heroes who do not take themselfs to seriously. These are actors that understood the task, actors that have visible fun in what they doing a director that must been a fan and got the job done.
I won't give any spoilers but the opening scene will have you laugh at the first moment. Chris pine has what Chris Pratt lost and that's the rough like charm with the humor. Michel shows why she can be a good actress, it all flows into each other and the actors play of each other brilliantly.
If your a fan of the series pay good attention when they get to the arena part, your heart will start beating faster.
The downfall of a franchise like this can only be not keeping up with the first part. But if the director and the cast don't let themselves be distracted by the giant failures of Marvel and DC, then I'm positive we will enjoy these silly heroes for a long time to come.
Venger eat your heart out the dungeon and dragons team has returned home!!!
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)
Oh dear all down here from here?
So fase 5 from Marvel is starting and whatever they do it shows that Disney's loving destruction of franchises. After making star wars edible only for toddlers and young teens now marvel gets the beat down. The story is extremely weak and awfully told it rushed through like a bullet on xtc. Even the triple A cast is not able to bloom the terrible fx and poor designed green screens. Marvel do yourself a favor get rit of Disney and reset the universe to the point where it was till good. Time to switch to DC at least Shazam had some good humor and kind of a story that made some sense. 3 stars for the sake of the actors!
Werewolf by Night (2022)
It's alive!
So something went brilliantly right.
After the numerous franchise Disney single handedly killed it seems that they still know what movie magic is.
Honestly what a suprise this movie was. From the moment it begins it has the Hitchcock suspension and mystery with sound that live up to the Ben Hur area of film making. A cast that is not to famous to take up all of the screen. Combined with a dark story with a great plot, the intensity of the look on the faces like a western makes me want to see this movie again. The only downside here is that it's a short movie of only 52 minutes, guess Disney played it safe.
There might be hope for this giant franchise killer if they only stay true to the art of film making instead of the con of money making!
House of the Dragon (2022)
The serie that burns itself
As the last season of GoT caved in on itself by hasting and leaving plot holes totally un-developed. This new serie does it even worse, with already a very poor story they have the nerve to skip a decade what is unheard-of for a series like this it supposed to be an epic drama/action not a soap serie. Missing a decade of plot it makes the serie un watchable and fall to be described as mediocre at best. Episode six for me is the final episode for me will not return to the franchise. Not only is the story bad but the young cast is even worse, do they have a clue what they are doing? I savor the memory of the original!
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
Mcu phase 4 better phase out soon.
Yet another disappointing installment of a franchise on its last legs. Disney's magic is to drag out any quality franchise and make it a cash cow for kids with no concession. The creativity that was Marvel is long gone. The franchise literally had its end game with End Game. What make this movie bearable is some well placed humor, I felt like I was watching a kids movie with some good jokes. Script was awful to keep it nicely, Nathalie Portman made the smart choice and had her character killed off, leave the ship before it actually sinks.
Let's hope that Blackpanter is able to save part of the franchise after the more then disappointing black widow and now this mediocre installment of Thore I fear for the worst.
Disney be ashamed of yourself, for destroying real creativity!
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
This franchise is extinct
Ofcourd science fiction needs you to have a open mind. However there is a fine line between down right ridiculousness and science. This movie is so far over that line that it becomes unbearable to watch even with a open mind. Want to see a good jurassic park movie, rent the original!
Death on the Nile (2022)
Not good not bad but mediocre
Where to start....
This movie has been done in so many ways. Murder on the oriental express was its previous interpretation. At least that was done kind well. The build up is long and dreadful, the characters very weak, Gal her character is outrageous naive and that stings a movie like this. Half way through the second murder the penny dropped already and I knew who was behind it, I'm not a detective at all but this one is so cliche and shallow that if u don't know who's behind it half way into the second act start doubting your own intelligence.
The visuals are nice unfortunately for one who has actually done a cruise over the Nile its all fake and 90% cgi edited what really isn't necessary in Egypt. Abu Simbel is still in its old place however the cgi is so badly done that it looks fake. Again with these monuments that is hardly neccessary.
Neither actor gave it their all and it show. What makes it entertaining well the fact that neither can stand the other is worth watching.
L.A.'s Finest (2019)
No storyline needed
Get Jess Alba and gaby Union in one series. Let them wear some sexy outfits and throw out one liners one after another and u have a series man love. Is it good no way, are they hot as hell, hell yeah. 7 for being hot after 40, 5 for the series itself.
Batwoman (2019)
Should not wear or even mention the name Batman
This is by far the worst adoption of the Batman universe. If this is what cw produces on the go it might not exist very much longer. What an complet abomination, and ist 3 seasons long what kind of dumb mindless person can watch this and enjoy this. Super girl was bad but Batwoman won the price.
Long story short the acting is abysmal, the story is full of incomplete plots and the Camara work my 10 year old niece could have done much better. No idea why this has right of existence and who signed of on this program. I hardly give one Star but common this is offensive to the Batman universe and their fans.
The Batman (2022)
The Batman is back
So the first 20min in I was like wow, crazy thing is 2 hours in I was still wowed. That hasn't happend since the last Batman movie that mattered "the Dark Knight rises". I mean Ben did a nice job but who was he kidding right?
What I did not expect is that Robert would ace the part. I didn't had high hopes for the movie because a lot that WB and DC touches ends up totally unworthy of the great comic book names they carry. However having seen tennet and the lighthouse I had still a little hope for Robert Paterson
Fast forward in cinema today and got totally blown away by Robert, Michael Keaton meets Christian Bale = Robert Paterson, man did he deliver a brilliant batman. Not to give to much away of the story, this movie goes back to the comics of the dark knight with a touch of the 90s batman cartoon. It is dark and griddle in an Gotham as we know it from the video games Trilogy. WB and DC finally got there heads out of the sand and got to really look into the character development. This is batman the world's greatest detective hunting for clues in an insanely dark world. Limited gadgets and pure batman, that was enough for me to stay interested for 2.5 hours. Mis Kravitz also deliverd a AAA performance being the cat woman we deserved since Ann Hathaway who did a decent job in "the Dark knight rises"
All in all do yourself a favor, get rid of your preconceptions and go see "The Batman"!!!
The Book of Boba Fett (2021)
Well started of alright
Interesting that it continues right after Return of the Jedi. Having trouble to get into it since the feared Boba Fet is this old guy getting his ass kicked multiple times in the first episode. To me this guy was legend even the Jedi had trouble kicking this guy his behind and yet that's what happends almost directly in the series. Mingna plays her part well so far in this episode I rather see her then the old bald guy.
But at the end there is an epic and interesting fight were we see a little hint of the legend Boba fet.
A new hope is needed here, because I kinda have a bad feeling about this. Hope it gets better by the episode.
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
From a triple A to a triple C
Sad to say this movie looks like a parody of what we used to know as the Matrix. By making insight jokes they break the 3th wall. This results in a most uncomfortable movie. The other thing that is extremely bad are the special effects instead of progression this movie shows regression. The fight scenes look so fake and slow passed.
The story are has so many plot holes feels like the writers and directors were high on some bad cocaine.
This movie is not worth your time I do understand that Keneau came back his misplaced loyalty to this dead franchise pulled him back in.
Another franchise destroyed by Warner, that's 3 now Justice League, Mortal Kombat and add the Matrix to the list.
Army of Thieves (2021)
Cute little story
Not great but sure as hell amusing, way better then "army of the dead". It does what Zack Snyder is known for doing, the movie tells a story combined with action and a likeable character. All the cliches are there but that's actually alrigh, no brainer movie just sit back and enjoy!
Hawkeye (2021)
Not good Marvel what's up?
First of Jermey is an excellent actor.
Something went terrible wrong here either they hired the wrong screenplay writer or the director doesn't understand Hawkeye maybe the house of mouse wants everything to be pg now. What is a fact this ain't Hawkeye we seen in the avengers movies and sure as hell not the one from the comics. I'm up in episode 4 and it still feels like I'm watching a goofball comedy with some action, the action feels incredible slow and not well balanced at all. The kate character is cute but feels out of place, Hailee is an amazing upcoming young actress that to my opinion can do a lot more then throw a few non coherent one-liners. This is such a let down from the marvel studio, compaired to Wanda vision and Loki this feels rushed and a way to get an extra buck in.
Conclusion this doesn't do justice to the Hawkeye character at all, in general it diminishes that strong conflicted character to a clown. Shame on you Disney/Marvel!!!
