Bumperkleef (2019)
Truly one of the most infuriating movies I have ever seen.
Truly a god awful piece of trash, not one redeeming element. We don't get a lot of Dutch made movies and when we do they're mostly either a romcom or a period piece. A shame coz I'm sure we are able to make way better movies than those. This isn't one of those. 70.000 euros wasted making this that could've been spend on another younger more ambitious filmmaker. I'm truly angry that I watched this.
The characters are all very very very unlikeable. not one redeeming factor. And even if they were likeable, they'd still be morons. Not one decision these people make is smart and the only reason they even got into this scenario was because they're dumb. These people are denser than an 80s slasher teen. Every bit of this movie sucks.
I'm done spending time on it. Not a lot of movies make me genuinely angry enough to write a review. But this one did. So please if you read this and you're wondering if you should watch it, don't, please don't. Watch Us, a better movie about a family getting stalked. Or literally anything else.
Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (2020)
Too much. Way to much
This movie is just so disappointing. And that has one main reason. Too much happens.
This movie throws a 100 ideas at the wall and sees what sticks, and sure some things do. I like this version of Superman, there's a lot of good characters that feel almost like elseworld versions of themselves. And I like that. But those don't compensate all the things that don't stick. So much happens, there's so many time skips, so many Deaths. Oh god there's SO MANY DEATHS. 30+ DEATHS. It's not bad to kill a character, even multiple, but when you kill more characters than a human has fingers it becomes meaningless. You grow numb to it. Batgirl dies the first second she's on screen basically. BAT GIRL, she could lead her own movie and you kill her off like that. And that's just one example. There's so many more. I get wanting to rebirth this. But like this?!?! Really.
Also why is this called justice league dark? Because Constantine is in it? This is more of a justice league movie than a justice league dark movie. Or just call it apokolips war. Idk that probably not as marketable.
Also I do not enjoy all these cliche's. There's a lot of em here.
Knives Out (2019)
The best whodunnit it a loooooong while
This movie is great for multiple reasons but I'll stick to my main two.
Reason 1: every character is memorable. They all had something that made them "them" you feel me. Even the young kid who barely has any lines is funny. Chris Evans and Daniel Craig are stand out roles. Chris Evans finally gets to play an diff instead of the always righteous patriot and Daniel Craig is just the best detective I've seen in one of these movies. You have your guys like the poirot from the recent adaptation of "the murder on the orient express", those aren't fun detectives. They're shallow characters written in the early 1900 that haven't evolved with time. Daniel Craig in this movie however is a very funny, likeable but also smart detective.
These characters feel real. They're not some pawns in a game of cluedo they're actual personalities. There characters aren't based on their occupation but on how eccentric they're. It's not "the cook", "the Maid" and "the doctor" but its "Marta", "ransom" and "Harlan". (Harlan btw, great victim. He's such a nice guy and I hate it when shows and tv make the victim of crimes a bad guy because the audience wouldn't feel bad for that characters death. That's stupid, that would make a villain an anti hero. This movie makes him instantly likeable by showing his interaction with Marta)
Reason 2: Good story. Knives out whodunnit aspect is perfectly executed. It keeps you guessing on who "dunnit" (get it) and every time you think you know you get thrown for a loop. While watching I came up with atleast 4 different theories just for them to turn out wrong at the end. It's so good
