Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014)
Complex , thoughtful, beautiful.
It is very rare that a movie completely leaves me in awe , this one certainly did.
If you are a film lover (such as myself) you MUST watch this movie. It is a movie masterfully shot , well acted, cleverly written. Which deals with complex themes such as love , the search for relevancy, artistic endeavour, criticism and much more .unlike many film this one doesn't shy away from its philosophy and symbolism instead it is a complex thoughtful piece of art that explores its themes completely.
This film is the definition of art . There is so much to appreciate about it on every single level of filmmaking. Masterpiece.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
An okay film
If you are looking for some cheap entertainment and a few laughs then you will enjoy this , however, unfortunately this is almost all this is.
The first two movies had some genuine heartfelt moments and made you care about the characters. In this movie I couldn't care less about what happens to them. The movie did attempt to have some emotional moments but however (for me at least) it was undermined by the messiness and randomness of the script. The tone shifts all over the place .
The villain had the potential to be interesting , and deal with complex themes like the search for perfection but instead becomes just another marvel screamy villain I will forget about.
Overall the movie felt like a parody of the first two . Doing stuff that had success such as dancing and jokes and music but in a way that feel out of place and heartless. Also the cgi didn't feel so good. And many moments felt like they were happening just for the sake of happens instead of acctually having a meaning to the plot or characters , just out of nowhere and random
It's not a bad film overall , it is enjoyable but forgettable.
It is definitely better then the movies marvel puts out lately , but I dont consider that an argument to justify that it's good. It would be like saying "you are the smartest stupid person I've ever met" maybe it is a bit smarter and better , but still pretty stupid and meh.
It wasn't the epic send off to the guardians I was hoping for , nor the atrocity I was dreading.
As I said an okay film... but unfortunately just okay.
