Andor (2022)
Please Disney, don't ruin it
Smartest Star Wars ever. The acting, plot, dialogues, maturity and sheer scale puts this above The Foundation (the series). It is simply the best star Wars show out there, movies included. There are no social justice politics in. There are strong femael as well as strong males. Well balanced. The show does not preach the viewer anything. It's just a well written story. No nonsense battles and dumb humor or idiotic plot twists. Disney should really learn from this and start delivering amazing show like this. I was searching for a good story and never expected to find it here. But here it is. What a gem!
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Perfect! Better than the original. Rare thing
I've just seen it with my 17yo son at IMAX. I cried, laughed, felt motivated and nostalgic. Exceeded my expectations. I'm so happy now! Congratulations to Tom Cruise for keeping it respectful. Such a joy of a film. It's contrasting so much with the murky movies that are made these days. Well done!
Star Trek: Picard (2020)
ST - the hope is dead
You must never dream of a better future! That's the creators' message.
1. You must drown on the current problems. Don't dream it will be better
2. You must be woke
3. You must have diverse and inclusive heroes. Forget old heroes
4. You must not think
5. You must use violence, yelling and explosions to stop violence
6. Resistance is futile. We will use your nostalgia to brainwash you with our agenda.
The Lawnmower Man (1993)
Inspiring but outdated
Inspired me as a teen in the early 90s to take on a career in IT. The idea of VR contributing to the next level of humanity was so cool. Today is outdated and childish but still a decent nostalgia run.
In Blue (2017)
Insulting movie
It's a terrible movie depicting the insulting stereotypical western view over the country of Romania - gypsies, homeless people, dirt and poverty.
The creators of this move manage to distinguish themselves through a huge amount of ignorance and lack of respect, disguised as "art searching for the realities of the world". We see this in all talentless creators that manage to have a few connections giving them the 1 second of "fame". Shame on the TV networks that promoted this crap (HBO/Cinemax).
All in all, complete garbage, avoid like plague: 1/10
Joker (2019)
Boring and simple and predictable...
Far away from The Dark Knight, in a bad way. JP acting is ok, nothing amazing, too mechanic. Honestly, he didn't have much of a script to play with. Heath Ledger acting/script/philosophy is a masterpiece by comparison. The violence is meh, not that it was required but I was told that it was at least gory. If this had gore in it then Watchmen was the most violent movie ever. Shame... 3/10 and those 3 point are for JP performance.
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
D&D should give their money back
So they got paid and we got nothing but emptiness and disappointment. I hate it that they laugh all their way to the bank.
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
A Michael Bay infantile movie...
Awesome visuals and CGI, but this is not 1990s. Terminator 2 was awesome back then. Now CGI just does not impress anymore. That's Michael Bay territory, and this movie sure looks like that - awesome CGI and dumb plot.
Character and plot wise, I just want to say that I am sick of heroes and villains having their abilities appear or vanish from one scene to another just to justify the plot. Not to talk about stupid character decisions that completely change the plot...
It takes away from the soul of the story which becomes simple, forced and artificial.
SPOILER:
Just one example for abilities (but the movie is full of it): in one scene Thanos beats the pulp out of Hulk, but in the rest of the movie all the other heroes receive punches from him like it's nothing.
And one example of stupidity: Quill becomes responsible for the grim ending by saving Thanos in the last second, as Thanos was on the verge of being stripped of its powers.
I expected more...
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
My 12yo kid said it's a stupid movie...
I grew up in communism, with Star Wars being, for me and ALL of my friends, a motivational story to better ourselves. The movie plot and characters were something to strive for, we all wanted to be in the story and had our favourite role in that adventure.
Darth Vader was the coolest villain ever! When he was entering a room there was a heaviness of fear and respect spreading all over. It was not once that we tried to move the bloody pencil on the table with our minds, focusing out thoughts... and so on. It made us dream.
By comparison, my 12yo son, who btw loves the original SW, said that this movie is stupid. And by all means, I can't argue with that. It is stupid, from scene 1 forward, including the plot, characters and how situations are solved.
CGI is awesome though - thus 1 star.
Disney said that they do this for the new generation. Well, the new generation hates it... you robbed my kid the pleasure of seeing an intelligent plot.
Allegiant (2016)
Hollywood must stop with 2 part endings
Just like Hunger Games, or Hobbit (3 bloody movies from one tiny book!!!!), these guys must stop with splitting the final movie in two parts just to get more money from us.
It's the last time I'm ever going to see the 1st part of the 2 parts in any movie.
Making two movies from one plot automatically makes the fist one boring, with a dull ending and long fill ins to justify 2 hours of on screen images.
The "anticipation" for the grand finale is replaced by frustration and a sense of being robbed.
Just bad tactics that must stop.
Interstellar (2014)
Boring and cliché - the nice art of Hollywood trailers
I've been waiting for this movie for over a year. Big fan of Nolan's work, except Inception.
The movie is a soup of physics and personalities clichés, overstretched over 3 hours of beautiful visuals braided with a childish plot and stupid characters. A similar movie which comes to mind is Prometheus.
There is absolutely no connection with the people involved, and each and every one of them became unlikeable at some point in time.
The attempts to define the way people behave are as childish as the plot that reverts into itself. Worse than the worst episode from the Star Trek saga.
Apparently Hollywood must stick with the trailers, as they are brilliant. The movies that follow are trash.
Nolan should come down from the sky ego he's in, and start making good intelligent movies again. Such a pity...
IMDb of 9.3?! How many paid people are there to score 10s?!
