The Creator (2023)
A complete waste of time
They spent 80 million dollars just to make a $500K low budget B movie. This movie is nothing plot holes. Very, very shallow. It's not worth $5 let alone the $20 I paid for it. It's like they took a bunch of scenes from old movies and randomly threw them into this movie with no order or reason. The dialogue is grade school, the characters are completely uninteresting, and the use of technology is actually ridiculous. A bunch of people in grass huts with corrugated roofs can somehow make hundreds of robots and cyborgs but can't seem to save themselves. It's like some person with a poor knowledge of the Vietnam war said "Hey, let's make a futuristic Vietnam War movie with cyborgs!" You find yourself dragged from one ridiculous scene to another just hoping the main characters will die so it all ends. It is very obvious these many positive reviews are bought and paid for because this movie is completely awful. It makes me sad to think this movie is actually the standard now - shallow, boring, ridiculous, and totally not worth watching. It's hard to find a good movie anymore. This one certainly is NOT a good movie.

Reviews are accurate
It was surprising to me to find the reviews to be objective and critical yet fair on this movie. I actually agreed with most of them. I was expecting to find a herd of right-wing crazies slamming this movie for being too PC but that was not the case. The reviews were pretty accurate. It was a LONG movie but IMO it was certainly worth watching and it was like the Irishman in that you have to watch the characters while they THINK, while they say things without words, with non-verbal communication. Its obvious that many viewers expected instant gratification. I think the genius of these 2 movies, this movie and the Irishman is they make you think outside the box. They make you want to shout "For the love of God just say it clearly" but that is the genius, the characters are REAL, they are flawed, they don't communicate effectively. Most movies are too pat, too contrived, this movie and the Irishman most certainly are not predictable, contrived, pat, like the cheap garbage Hollywood is pumping out for the simple-minded fans. You need to THINK to appreciate these movies. You need to get frustrated. And that is the genius in their methods. I like how Scorsese makes you work for the plot, it isn't handed to you like you are some fool that needs an easy story. He makes you feel frustration, sadness, and anger. He makes you think. And that is something most of the trash being pushed out of Hollywood does not do. This was a GREAT movie. It showed how DECENT people suffer at the hands of devious losers. And that is the story of MANY people in America throughout American history. Evil wins most of the time, but there are times when justice is served.

Outstanding Movie!
I was expecting this to be shallow and dumb but I must say the French are doing way better than Hollywood. My son and I watched this movie and it held our attention for the entire movie, it was really well done. The main characters held your interest, and the plot and dialogue kept me awake and involved. The synergy between the cast was excellent. The ending was a bit contrived but we even like it as it was written. I must say these ladies did a great job and I highly recommend this movie. The cast really made this movie real for the viewer. I would most certainly watch any movie with this outstanding cast and if it was created and directed by the same people. Most movies today are shallow, unimaginative and boring but this movie was totally worth watching. I must say that I'm VERY impressed with what the French are doing. GREAT MOVIE!
Welcome to Redville (2023)
This movie is the exact opposite of its positive reviews.
There is a disturbing trend in these movie reviews. It's not like they are just a little off from being correct. They are the polar opposite from reality. It's as if people are being paid to say the exact opposite of what a normal person would say about the movie. This movie was completely boring, there was not a high-octane moment in it, it has the special effects of a movie created by grade schoolers and a predictable overused plot that will end in disgust and anger for any sensible person. If you paid 5 dollars for this movie you are the victim of a sex crime. I need a counselor, I'm scarred emotionally from this horrendous waste of my time and money. There really is nothing interesting, funny or good in this movie, it's a bucket of nothing. Read the positive reviews, watch this horrible movie and then read this review again and you tell me who was really telling the truth about it.
Warhorse One (2023)
Snoozer
This plot has more holes than a screen door. If this movie was done by some high school kid with his friends, it would be OK but it's supposed to be an adult movie, so it fails horribly. I'm not going to write a book explain everything that was wrong or dumb in this movie, there is way too much of that. Let's just say I shut it off at 60% complete because it was an exercise in maintaining consciousness. If you are having trouble sleeping then yeah, I recommend this movie but if you were looking for a good action movie, this certainly is not that. This movie literally takes all day to say absolutely nothing. This was a waste of money and time.
Bless Me Father (2023)
Pointless
I'm not seeing the hype for this movie at all. I have seen about every good mafia movie for the past 45 years or so. I watched this one with an open mind and it just came across as low budget. The cinematography was Kmart. The dialogue is shallow, repetitious and lame. It's not a suspenseful movie and when you get to the end the only word that crossed my mind was... pointless. It has some enormous unrealistic plot holes in it too. My son watched it with me, and he said the same. I can only think the people raving about this movie have never actually seen a really good mafia movie because this certainly isn't one. You have to have little to no experience with outstanding mafia movies to heap superlatives on this movie in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone. It makes me wonder if some of these over-the-top raving reviews were not bought and paid for. It's simply way too much for way too little. The ending really summed it up, dumb.
