The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
extremely disappointing
With a source material like this show has and the resources available, the result should be much better. It is a boring and completely anti-tolkien experience. Acting is lame, too. Hence it really deserves 1 star only. One could argue that some set pieces are pretty or that the immense money spent on CGI warrants more. But no. The whole thing smells like a big money grap, a worse version of the hobbit. Extremely disappointing in all angles. The plot feels like a childrens book was the source material, the characters behave completely unrealistic for being in a tolkien world. My verdict is: utter fail.
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
an insult
This movie is an insult to its viewers. Last time I felt like this was after watching transformers 2. It is just a giant mess. The story is convoluted and has no meaning. The supposedly scary encounters with the carnivores do not produce any atmospheric impact. Woke messaging of course included as well. This movie shall be remembered as part of the prime degeneracy of hollywood.
The Banker (2020)
just a meh biopic
The summary of the movie actually was more interesting than the movie itself. But I guess there was just not enough meat to the story, to carve it into something really breathtaking. It is an ok-ish movie, the performances are mediocre, SLJ seemes bored at times. Cinematography in my eyes was also not special in any way. Therefore, an average movie, limited by its limited premise.
Giving a 9 or 10 for this piece is clearly an activist rating of someone who either never saw it or didnt take their rainbow glasses of while watching it.
I recommend watching it if quarantine is about to kill you through boredom, otherwise see something else.
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
An incoherent mess
It receives 1 star for its sometimes decent visuals. The rest is absolutely terrible. However that mess of a story got created will remain more of a mystery than the force itself. It is absolutely clear that this last piece was written after and not before shooting the previous parts. They will erase this new trilogy in the future soon. I feel sick after watching this. Shame on the writers and producers.
