Trap (2024)
Is it just me?
Or have I got unrealistic expectations?
This movie feels like a project that the director undertook purely for his daughter. There was very little in the way of intensity, intrigue or suspense. Felt like a movie made for a teenage audience. I kept zoning out and looking at my watch, not a good sign. I even wrote this review as I'm watching the last few minutes and thinking wish id watched something else.
Josh is a good actor and he did his best but franky deserved better. Even the 'reveal' at the end was pathetic.
A movie should stir, get you engaged, mess with your emotions, make you laugh, cry, nervous, mad..something. This made me feel nothing.
Longlegs (2024)
Ultimately disappointed
Seen many a horror movie in my time and I guess taste is very much subjective. But I like a movie to feel familiar, want to somehow identify and root for the characters and feel like I know them or want to know them. Did not feel this with the story, or the characters. Felt like the movie was taking place in some other reality. The protagonist was one note throughout. The whole thing was too solemn and Cage, great an actor as he is, wad too over the top I found myself giggling instead of feeling haunted. I just found myself yawning too many times which meant I couldn't get invested. Sorry, but not for me.
Plane (2023)
generic action wannabee
Sorry, but no. Maybe Ive watched too many of these types of action flicks. Maybe Ive become desensitised or tired of machine guns blazing ratatatata endlessly.
Started well. Looked promising. But once the action started, I realised itll be a banal mindless movie where you dont care much for any of the characters.
Gerard Butler is better than the movie. I enjoy his actinf and his movies generally. But for me, this doesnt work or entice. I was at the back of my seat instead of anywhere near the edge!
And may I say, whoever is writing many of the reviews here, try at least to change your style. Its too obvious...
Autoreiji (2010)
Snorefest
Comparing this to the Godfather is like comparing 1960s batman to the latest offering with Pattison. Cardboard characters posturing, shouting and calling eachother assholes (usual japanese style) and then shooting eachother. There is zero character development, no storyline of note. Hard to give a damn about anyone or anything.
The Batman (2022)
bloody brilliant!
Loved everything about it, loved the actors, story, cinematography, score and especially the mood.
For me, the best of the series by a country mile.
This sets a new standard for movie making in general and for fans of the genre and of the Batman.
De slag om de Schelde (2020)
just wow!
I'm not one for writing reviews(cliche I know) but I was compelled to do so. What a great movie! Love it when the actors are relatively unknown and yet the acting is top notch, as is the story and production.
Better than most War movies I've watched. So realistic and heart wrenching, as war drama should be!
I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I did.
The 15:17 to Paris (2018)
Underwhelming
I'm a fan of Eastwood's work. not one of his best imho. He acting and storyline below par. Just couldn't get into it.
I guess the story itself is a little banal.
Girl (2020)
Great little indie thriller
Shows you what can be done on a budget. Good direction acting dialogue and story. Kudos
Kecksburg (2019)
couldnt watch more than 2 mins
So amateur bad in every dept cant even trust the reviews here
Reckoning (2019)
Gripping well told and acted story
I'm not given to writing reviews. But I really enjoyed the movie. Solid acting especially by the lead. Gripping storyline excellent cinematography.
Deserves souch more than the score of 5. 2 imho
Ji xian feng (2020)
Silly movie
Tired of Jackie chan punching and then shaking his hand or rubbing his head when hit. The cgi is worst I've seen. This will probably appear to under 10s but way below par
Come on Jackie. You're better than this. Loved him in the foreigner.
If you're aged over 10 forget it!
