The Fall of the House of Usher (2023)
Why is this so highly rated??
The plot just doesn't make sense and becomes a drag after 3-4 episodes. At that point you only watch it to finish the damn thing. They have tried hard no doubt, great production value but the story itself is just a sob.
The main leads do a good job but they can only do so much. Many times you would feel that it's about to get good and then comes the bro-sis combo to ruin everything. The deal with the devil taken too far. No one needed this to be a 8 episode long series. You could tell the story in a 2 hour movie.
You don't feel connected to even one character. It's not even scary.. just gore ... oh what a bore!!!
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
The God-daughter looks more like Indi than her father??? Sus...
Flaws
- Casting: the daughter is 6ft tall with cheekbones like Indi but her parents are short & chubby.
- Plot: the story can be summed up in one line. It hardly makes sense.
- Disney Cash Cow: another one from Disney where they try to use nostalgia to fool the audience.
HARD PASS
Consider making a spin-off romantic drama movie where we see why Indi's god daughter ended up looking like his clone. That might be interesting.
There is a scene where a teenager flies a fighter place into the eye of a storm. He literally said he hasn't flown a plane ever in his life. Make sense of that. Overall this a madness & should never have been made in the first place.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Nothing less than 10/10 would do!!
This film takes you back to simpler times when movies used to be about human emotions and overcoming adversity. What a masterclass!!! Doesn't try to be fancy, just strong storytelling and amazing stunts. More of this please!
Major (2022)
You have to rate it 10 just for Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan!!!
Brilliant movie on real heroes who give their lives to save lives. Hats off!!!
Great cast and even better acting. We need more movies like these which celebrate real heroes. Unbelievable courage from one man.
Rocket Boys (2022)
Raja Mehedi is actually Meghnad Saha!!!
When you do a biopic, make sure you give credit to all the characters. Meghnad Saha did his education from India coming from a small village and contributed immensely to astrophysics.
But the makers decided to change his name to show a communal angle in the web series. That is manipulation and should be called out.
Invasion (2021)
Tremendously underrated
I am seeing a lot of negative review here. Apparently no one has time for good story telling and it's deemed as slow. Seems like the only alien shows we are ready for are the ones where space guns are involved. This ain't that kind where millions of aliens descend from a space ship and start shooting at earthlings.
If you enjoy a story slowly unravelling itself then this one is for you. This is an adult's alien invasion. The one that actually might happen. And there are some deep scientific concepts involved as well if you pay attention.
Comedy Premium League (2021)
Kaneez should give up
Average show at best. Kaneez takes the cherry as usual.
F9 (2021)
This has gone beyond fiction!!!
What a shame to see the franchise been turned into a clown show. Absolutely no logic or sense to anything in the movie. The "driving" in space is when my brain left me. I'm surprised it held on that long.
Jungle Cruise (2021)
Made for the BIG screen (3D)
I am glad I watch this in the theatre. Brilliant scenes accompanied by tidy storyline. A good family entertainer.
The Gift (2015)
Has anyone heard of a DNA test? Bizarre plot twist!!
OK this movie was doing just fine till the climax hit. It is so bizarre and easily disputed that a student of science & logic might puke after watching. And why would send a tape with incriminating evidence to the other guy? Makes no sense. All law officers should watch this movie and have a laugh.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021)
What's up with white dominant suit and an all white mask?
Ok it started off decent but from 3rd episode you know Falcon will be Cap. Which is cool. But the way it was done specially with a forced race injustice plot looked fake. Also the suit sucks.
Saina (2021)
Parineeti should retire & save us
This is a lacklustre effort. Typical Bollywood elements ruin the plot. You don't get to see the real character of the protagonist. Instead it's loaded with meaningless dialogues & inconsequential badminton. Parineeti is the villain of this movie. And to be the villain in a role that is supposed to be a role model takes a lot of effort. Please spare us and leave acting.
Half Brothers (2020)
Brilliant Movie, ignore the biased reviews from people who will never understand the struggles of an immigrant!
The story revolves around a man who comes to the states as an immigrant. His abandoned son in Mexico is sent on a treasure hunt from the clues left behind by him. Along with his half brother, he embarks on this amazing and funny journey to find the story of his father. Beautiful movie for the beautiful mind.
Soorarai Pottru (2020)
Truly Inspirational! Bollywood should take notes on how to do a biopic!
The movie is based on Capt. Gopinath and his business venture Deccan Airways (low cost airline). The screenplay is so tight and great acting from everyone. There is not a single dull moment in the film. There is no fake fight scenes or forced romance dialogues. Beautifully directed masterpiece, must watch!
The Call of the Wild (2020)
As a dog lover loved it!
This film is much better than I had thought after watching the trailer. Must watch specially if you have owned dogs or just love dogs in general.
Bandish Bandits (2020)
Average revenge drama with great music!
As the title suggests, this is a typical Indian soap opera only with better music.
Ted Lasso (2020)
YNWA
You will never walk alone seals it in the last episode. If you know, you know!
Holidate (2020)
Quite disappointing!
Don't understand the average or good reviews this has received. The ending must have been great since I couldn't continue watching the whole thing. Yes it was that boring and childish. Had to stop watching after 40 odd minutes.
The Lie (2018)
Mindless 'thriller'
This is a weird movie from Blumhouse probably apt for 2020. White parents turn killers for their daughter and kill a coloured dad who is looking for his missing daughter. Now that's something our society definitely needs at this day and age! How foolish! None of the plot points make sense as well.
Hostages (2019)
Season 2 is twice as bad!!
There is not much to write about Season 2. The 'story' could have been summed up in 4 episodes. But we are dragged through the mud for 12 episodes of slow & sluggish screenplay. It almost felt like the makers had an idea but never took shape. The story continues from where it left off and I wish it never did!
