Margrete den første (2021)
Gets worse as it goes
It starts out well, makes promises for the direction it will take, and seems gripping to begin with.
Unfortunately, it then squanders it all, leaving behind historical accuracy, consistency and suspense, all for the sake of trying to add suspense.
The real historic fake Oluf was exposed as a fraud the minute he arrived at court, and was not the true king or son of Margrethe.
I can understand departing from history in movies, but here it is such a blatant lie that it spoils whole movie for me.
And so does the sudden out-of-character actions of the main characters, as well as the insufferable acting from the actor playing King Erik.
Ad Astra (2019)
Ad Absurdity
A drab and stupid storyline, bordering nonsensical, drags the viewer through space, and disregards every law of physics as it trickles along at glacial pace.
The fact that this spectacle contains both face-eating monkeys, corrupt space agencies, moon pirates and a seemingly endless supply of incompetent astronauts says it all. It follows up with a complete disregard for physics, distances in space, and common logic, and throws in gunfights in space for good measure.
I watched it hoping for a true space epic. Instead I got a rediculous and boring sleeping pill without even a grain of realism.
Astronomical disappointment.
Pagten (2021)
Disappointing
A drawn-out glacially-paced mess that decends into a trivial cliché of a love-triangle, which is so predictable you realize it's coming after watching just 3-4 minutes of the movie.
Add to that wooden acting and a lack of any truly interesting interactions or points, and this picture quickly becomes a bore.
Easy Rider (1969)
Overhyped
The movie tries to paint a picture, or make a statement. Unfortunately it does it with no plot, no meaningful dialogue, and no characters you can really identify with.
Huge disappointment for me, a bore from start to finish.
