The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022– )

A lot of potential

[8/10 · 31 August 2023]

As a big fan of the original trilogy and The Hobbit trilogy, I must admit that I am very pleased with this tv show.

I think that it was a great first season as a « big » introduction for what this show will become when it's completed.

Of course it is very slow, very contemplative sometimes (maybe to much for some people) but I found it georgous. This was, by far, the best looking visuals I've ever seen in a tv serie. The music was amazing and the acting was great.

I give the show a 8/10 as I am very confident that It will only get better after this season. This was, in my opinion, a perfect « introduction » to this large story, with various storylines. Now everything is in place, the villains, the « heros » and every « context » is clear. I am very much a supporter of a « slow » start as it will emphazise the emotions and the « epic » side later. I can't wait to see what will happen and I am looking forward to watching the season 2 in 2024/2025.

Fast X (2023)

Loved it.

[6/10 · 20 May 2023]

I don't get how people are still going to the movie theater watching Fast and Furious and expect anyhting else than that. It's fun, well made, super exciting. When you get your ticket to watch Fast and Furious, you know what to expect. It's not like if there wasn't 10 movies like this one before lmao. I get that some people liked the old one as it was more center on the « race » parts. But to be fair, when you are willing to watch the 10th I really don't get how you can be desapointed. This is not a movie to watch seriously, everybody knows that lmao. And when it comes to entertainement, it's perfect. You just drop off you brain before entering the movie theater and you enjoy a good time.

Note: Loved the post-credit scene.

Arthur, malédiction (2022)

A cinematic revolution.

[1/10 · 5 March 2023]

To speak of this film, one must take it as a whole, an entity that rises above any perception one may have had of modern cinema.

To watch this masterpiece is to accept that there will be an "after". As a matter of fact, never again will I be able to see a film that impacts my life as much. "Masterpiece" would be an insult to qualify this creation, so much will it leave its mark on humanity.

Thanks to this viewing, I was able to question everything I thought I knew about our universe.

It made me reflect on our place, as entities, in this world. I will no longer see things in the same way, so much have I become aware of the importance of our actions towards others.

One simple word : sublime.

Luc Besson, from the bottom of my heart, for this unique experience and from every future spectator of this movie, thank you.
