Dexter: New Blood (2021)
Dexter...only dumber...much dumber
Somewhere in Hollywood:
Hey, do you remember Dexter? What if we mix Dexter with Dumb & Dumber, maybe throw in some teens, some horrible CGI and a some quirky Fargo-ish characters...only more bland.
Sounds great?
NO!
The only thing amazing about New Blood, is that it is worse than the terrible ending in the original series.
Dune (2021)
Looks good but...
Like mostly every movie and series out now, it is so f..... slow. It's of course well acted, beautiful photography, amazing locations...but it is soooo slooooow....
Young Wallander (2020)
Swedish...in english
The person who decided the language in sweden should be english should lose his/hers job. If it was done in the original language it would have been way better.
Utøya 22. juli (2018)
Too early
This was meant to be a strong and realistic movie about the incident at Utøya. Parts of the movie are good, however in my opinion the film is released too early. NOT because it's too close to the happening, but some parts feels unfinished and both the direction/editing and the dialogue should be tighter. Also some of the actors are unexperienced and amateur mistakes are revealing, such as accidently looking straight at the camera and also with the lack of music the flow of the movie relies heavily on dialogue and some of the dialogue gets quite akward and to be honest...boring. Poppe made an issue out of not showing the terrorist, all though I see why...when it comes to adapting this story to screen it almost feels silly at times, 90% of the terrorist presence are random gunshots...which is scary at first, but after a while it sort of looses the drive and impact.
However, it is a good description of the terrors some of the victims must have felt during the attack...But, as a movie I don't think it is strong enough. There are some bold moves, but unfortunately the skills of the actors, the editing and the direction can't keep up with the ambitions and for me it ends up like an OK+ ish movie...and I really wanted it to be good, because it is an important story. Specially in these times when right wing extremism is on the rise.
Rammstein: Paris (2017)
Great live act, but dumbed down
Rammstein is perhaps one of the greatest rock acts to ever hit a stage. Their performance is a hard hitting, high energy audiovisual punch to your senses. I expected Paris to capture some of this magic, however in my opinion it does not. Paris sounds great and captures the massive sound of Rammstein, but when it comes to the visuals it is a huge disappointment.
The editing feels unprofessional. There are some great shots of the band and the stage, but the rapid clips makes it impossible to truly enjoy any of them. The fill ins with surveillance style black high contrast footage is just annoying and makes it feel..stupid. The terrible CGI shots with lizard eyes and tongue etc is just embarrassing and the visual style for the titles of each songs feels like something made for a really, really low-cost TV production for kids.
If I was to judge this for the visuals, I'd give it 3 out of 10. However the Rammstein sounds great and pulls of a great show. So it's a 6 out of 10.
I'd really would like to see a non-retarded, Non-epileptic seizure edit of this. When it comes to showing a good live performance I prefer the more "standard" approach to it, where the point is to capture and showcase the show. Not dumb it down.
