Wonka (2023)
Where did Roald Dahl go?
Pretty disappointing, considering the quality of the cast and wonderful stories written by Roald Dahl.
This movie is a pretty picture sugarbombwith with absollutely no consideration for the silly wickedness of the original story. Compare it with the movies of the past, where Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp performing a magical, slightly villainous Wonka, and the Disneyfied version Chalamet is playing.
Paul King dropped the ball here. If you want to see a run of the mill feel good Christmas movie, by all means take your kids and enjoy the show. If you love the work of Roald Dahl, and the movies made by Tim Burton, or Danny de Vito's Mathilda, you should pass on this one.
The Tomorrow War (2021)
Boring and predictabe
Just another movie that's all about CGI with no effort being mad in creating an interesting storyline, develop characters or write interesting dialogue.
Really can't imagine why it still has a pretty decent rating, but the people who upvoted this movie are the exact reason this stuff is still being made.
It Chapter Two (2019)
Way worse than the first one...
When It came out, I wasn't overwhelmed, but it was ok. I liked the book much better, but at least I could recognise what Stephen King was trying to convey.
Chapter two is a different story: too much comedy, so it felt like I watched a re-make of The Goonies. The scary parts were quite predictable, and the romantic bit......please, why did they do that?
Nope, not worth your time folks.
Svartsjön (2016)
Decent enough acting, terrible plot
Been watching a few episodes now. Started promising enough: beautiful landscapes, great shots, an isolated place up in the mountains (The Shining ), decent actors.
But good heavens, what a terrible storyline. The plot is bunkers. People inter-act in the most peculiar way Missed opportunity, couldd have been a lot better.
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Just pretty pictures...
I've always been careful comparing the old Star wars movies with the new instalments. Time and memory tend to make the stories we've heard and seen in our childhood more magical then those in our adult life.
But in this case I have to admit it: Disney didn't end the Saga, it killed in. It's not just the enormous plot holes, clunky dialogues or stale jokes. What it truly lacks is 'gravitas': solid storylines, characters you can relate to, and dramatic events.
This was more like watching a videogame, where everybody is running around, going from place to place, finding clues and as a conclusion fighting the end boss. What a waste of this wonderful story and great actors like Adam Driver and Daisy Ridly. And also a slap in the face of everybody who love this story; Disney totally missed the point.
The Best of Enemies (2019)
Great movie, a ray of hope in these times of darkness
This was a very touching movie, and although the outcome wasn't very suprising, the movie kept me captivated. The story is heartwarming, and carried by great performances by Taraji P. Henson and Sam Rockwell.
Very moving footage with the actual characters from this movie and the end.
Imperium (2016)
How to mess up a good story
Watching this was a total waste of time, and I didn't make it to the end. The storyline is promising, actors not at all bad, but a movie is mad or broken by the way the story is told.
Excruciating dialogues, very transparant "plot twist" , and not a single time I felt the main character was in danger, the efforts of the director notwithstanding. Mr. Ragussus should consider a career change, and if you really want to watch something worthwhile about white supremacy, watch 'The best of enemies', also available on Netflix.
