The Thing: O Regresso (2021)
Killed the franchaise
This is the worst possible sequel of any masterpiece that was ever made. There is absolutely no story line, no character development, no suspense, no excitement, there is nothing except a few jump scare attacks and special effects. New characters just pop up out of nowhere and so do the creatures. A number of scenes were just copied and pasted from the original movie. Acting was also lame and probably shot during Covid pandemic so you could easily tell that they captured those shots on their or something like that. A total waste of time. People who praised this for special effects and no CGI, come on! The last scene was pure CGI and was a joke!
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021)
Finally a movie which can be called Resident Evil
I've been a big fan of the Resident Evil franchise and played almost all of the games starting from the very first one on PlayStation namely Resident Evil. However, when Hollywood released the first Resident Evil movie in 2002, it was indeed a big disappointment for any genuine RE fan. With no major characters like Chris/Claire, Jill, Leon, Wesker..you name it and there was nothing! Only RE movie that ever came close to that franchise was the Nemesis one.
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City is successful in building its plot where it solely focused on how it all began. Combining both RE 1 & RE 2 story line of the game made it more thrilling. In addition, if you watch this movie you will find that the very origin of the Veronica Virus is also hinted by showing a glimpse of both Alfred & Alexia Ashford. Truly amazing! It's really appreciating how the very first movie highlighted all the major characters of the RE franchise by linking them all together.
The major problem with this movie is its action scenes which seemed pretty ordinary and dull in some cases. It was also kind of dark in a few occasions. In addition, the last action could have been a lot better which appeared like giving it a finish hurriedly due to its slow pace of getting into the whole story. RE is best known for its weird monsters and spectacular actions which could be improved in the upcoming sequels. There are other problems like Leon character was made too naive and vulnerable which is not his style at all. Moreover, Leon never looked an Asian in the original story and Jill was not black either.
Lastly, I am just happy to see Albert Wesker, Chris & Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, Leon S Kennedy, Ada Wong, Alfred & Alexia Ashford in a single RE movie for the first time and at last NO MORE "My name is Alice"...yes, of course this is Resident Evil, now you are truly welcome to the Raccoon city.
Wolfen (1981)
Good plot with a very poor execution
Werewolves movies are one of the most exciting movies for the horror lovers. If you talk about 80s then there are classics like Silver Bullet and the Howling or
An American Werewolf in London. Although Wolfen is not a werewolf movie, however, it pretended to be so from the beginning. The movie made a good start with some brutal killing followed by some interesting investigation which slowly indicates towards a beast incarnate. Nevertheless, after patiently waiting for 1.5 hours to see the creature, you get highly disappointed to see a bunch of ordinary wolves with no characteristics at all. There is hardly any action of a wolf in this piece of garbage movie which would really annoy you at the end that what you have just watched! The involvement of Indians pretending to be the savior or well-wisher of wolves is just ridiculous with hardly any connection between them. What could have been an awesome wolf movie with this plot terribly failed due to its poor execution of the main characters. Simply a waste of time.
Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
Childish battle plot to bring out a winner
I am a big fan of the monster verse movies and watched all of them since the 60s. Undoubtedly, when the first King Kong vs Godzilla (1962) movie was released by the Japanese, it created a sensation. Though Gojira (Godzilla) was their creation, however, they were able to present a fair fight between these two legendary titans. Both Kong and Godzilla have their advantages and disadvantages and it's not easy to pick one clear winner. That's why the Japanese production highlighted on the key fighting instincts of both Kong and Godzilla and tried to show a fight which was really enjoyable with a fair outcome. Moreover, they did not really make either of the fan groups feel humiliated about their hero.
On the other hand, the Hollywood production clearly stated a definite winner in the trailer by highlighting "One Will Fall". In a way of doing so, they made the Kong look really vulnerable and almost a no-match against Godzilla. This is highly unacceptable as there are so many ways in which Kong could beat Godzilla by using his intelligence and human like capabilities (i.e. Using anything as a weapon) whereas in the entire last fight Kong is seen relying only on a prehistoric axe which even needs to be charged by the atomic breath of the G-monster.
It seemed a highly childish fight plot where Warner Bros made Godzilla fans happy first of all by showing that he could have finished Kong just like that, nonetheless he chose not to. Then to make Kong fans happy, the Mecha G appears and beats the hell out of Godzilla which made the Kong fans somewhat content. However, since this does not give enough satisfaction to the Kong fans, they made Kong re-appear with his axe and finish off the MechaG by himself and thus saving Godzilla. I mean, what's the whole point in this fighting plot! Was it Godzilla vs Kong or was it a Handicap One on Two match from WWE? It's just a recap of Batman vs. Superman in the disguise of Kong and Zilla. Disappointing!
I will not go into the story, CGI or making of the movie etc. Because those are good enough according to the standards of 2021, so, no comments on that but if you want to remake a classic 60s movie then do that by keeping the originality of the movie. If you think Godzilla is so invincible then it's better not to make him fight with a legend which you have made merely a 'Monkey'.
It Chapter Two (2019)
Why make a movie? Make a Serial
Jump Scare...Chase...Escape...Jump Scare...Chase...Escape...Jump Scare...Chase...Escape... 😴😴😴 Why make a movie? Make a Serial. Such an annoying sequel 👎 It appears to be a Never-Ending story with no excitement regarding what would happen next! They tried to include a scientific/extraterrestrial plot, however, failed miserably to establish that. CGI's are quite poor and comic. Most of the "Jump-Scares" are relatively unnecessary and annoying. This is such a waste of the original franchise. Truly disappointed.
Demon (2015)
This is not a horror movie...Nope! Not at all!
The plot of the movie appears to be nice at the beginning, however, later on, it's all about stupid wedding ceremony activities and all garbage talking. Acting is not impressive at all. Every time you would expect that maybe something is going to happen, however, it would disappoint you till the end. I have never seen such an awful demonic possession where the possessed person is not being able to harm even a fly, instead vanishes without a trace! The plot itself is ambiguous and incomplete. If you don't want to spoil 2 hours of your life (especially of a weekend), never ever watch this piece of crap. Even watching Child's Play instead would be 10 times better than this junk. Absolutely rubbish!
