Saw X (2023)
Not great, not terrible
If the perfect Saw movie I can imagine gets a 10/10 than Saw X gets a 7/10 from me.
Warning SPOILERS!
I liked that they had Jigsaw as main protagonist and Amanda was right there too. They had a little scene with Detective Hoffman too. That was nice and that was good.
The leadup/buildup of the story was kinda long but it was good too. It made you really feel as betrayed as Jigsaw must have felt.
The trap designs were all somewhat logical as in that they couldnt just escape them without playing but some sadly were unrealistic like the radiation device. Overall the traps felt pretty simple or when they were more complicated the focus sadly wasnt on the traps.
The biggest problems I had with this movie is that the subjects who pretty much completed the tests and endured all the pain that was supposed to make them cherish life still died one way or another. If they took for example all the pain but have to wait 30 seconds for a key to disolve thats kinda dumb if thats the reason to fail the trap...
The death of Gabrielle was the worst to witness. I know that Amanda changed the order and stuff but I dont like the writing if I have to get angry at Jigsaw.
The end was a typical I am not trapped in here with you, you are trapped in here with me plottwist that however was pretty obvious considering that Jigsaw somehow had to survive.
Then the archenemy of the movie had a very easy fight for her life and survived. Afaik she even must have made it out. That was very unsatisfying.
The acting was great, especially the actor of Jigsaw was fantastic. The leadup was great but then it didnt really deliver like the early Saws did.
The Number 23 (2007)
Incredible writing only outshined by incredible acting
One thing I didnt like to start. The beginning. The beginning was quite unconvincing and unrealistic. How would anyone fall that easily for something that everyone knows is just imagination. Well that was my first thought and only if you last through it you will eventually get your answer...
Once you made it through the beginning you are in for quite the ride. The writing takes on a lot of tangents but never leaves you hanging or confused. It always keeps the tension and excitement and only reveals so it can create more questions.
You always feel like you are searching with him what all this is about and get surprised by all the twists and turns and gosh there are quite some twists and turns...
The end is honestly fantastic. One of the best endings I have ever seen in such a genre of movie.
Sadly the rewatchability is kinda out of the window because everything does get, atleast satisfiable, resolved and revealed at the end.
Mindhunter: Episode #2.1 (2019)
Had to change my underwear after the end of this episode
This episode is what you want from a new season.
Pick up where it left, make little twist, a few bigger ones and a huge one that makes you fall from your chair.
The Crown: Bubbikins (2019)
Jane Lapotaire alone made this episode
I cant quite remember the last time a performance of an actress was so striking as was the one of Jane Lapotaire in this episode.
Shortly before the end I had to pause and remind myself that this is not real, she is just acting... she is just amazing.
The character she created was loving and broken at the same time. It seems that the only thing holding her together was the faith in god.
What a fantastic portayal...
I Am Mother (2019)
Not for the average Avengers viewer...
Reading some 1 Star Reviews really shows you what Avenger and co did to the average cinema viewer...
If you like to think watch I AM MOTHER!
If you like to get high/drunk and watch a movie, watch AVENGERS!1!1!!!
Anyhow. It was a great movie, I got most of the references and ideas and reading some 10 star reviews clears the rest up.
Doragon Bôru Sûpâ Burorî (2018)
Decent Animations, Lacking Story
- Animations are good (excepting Beerus, who looks terrible)
- Fighting is great, but a bit too long imo (almost feels prolonged at some points)
- Story is not up to what I expected from DBS
- Comedy was also worse than DBS
Stargate Origins (2018)
10 Stars?!
Whoever rates this a 10 has either never seen ANY stargate episode, suffers from heavy brain damage or has received a fortune in bribes to leave a positive review.
Anything else is just impossible!
Bokeh (2017)
This is my first review!
This is my first review! I somehow didn't feel the urge to comment on movies i really love because when i scroll down the reviews, im pretty happy when i see people appreciating the film in the same way as i do. This movie was very different from that. The opening-idea itself was somewhat interesting and definitely had room for something to make out of it. The problem is, they just made nothing out of it. The movie is basically about how you become depressed when you realize that every person on earth beside your partner is gone. There was no alternative presented. Everyone is gone, you have to become depressed and kys. What would have been an alternate story: for example really turning to faith by believing that god choose them as a fresh start to humanity, to do it right, where the first try was flawed, to basically become Adam and Eve again. They had everything that was needed to make true, what everyone always says: "If i could, i would make the world a better place." They had the chance to do so, they could restart with all the knowledge what went wrong, with a tolerant mind and open for individual opinions. ... Instead they decided that humanity should just end there. I don't see anything in this movie, maybe i try to read some positive reviews, but i cant really imagine, what about this movie is great, innovative or anything. Boring can be entertaining, but boring can also just be boring.
