True Lies (1994)
The most fun Arnold movie ever
It is action and fun from beginning to the end. Never a dull moment.
Creed II (2018)
Boring remake of Rocky 3 combined with Rocky 4
Adonis, the main guy, is so insecure and disrespectful that it is not easy to root for him. And he has absolutely no good reason to accept the fight in the first place. He is rich, has a loving wife, new baby, healthy mom, and he is the world champion. But wait, he wants his dad's revenge from Drago, which has already been taken care of by Rocky in 1985.
The scenario is extremely simplistic, predictable and at times boring. Lots of unnecessary and empty talking scenes. I was tempted to stop watching immediately after Drago won the first match, and remember the movie with that ending, since I did not wanna see Adonis win the final fight. And I actually paused it, but then continued watching the whole thing just out of respect to Sly.
As expected, in the end, the rich dude beats the poor guy, and continues his wonderful life. Whereas, poor Drago continues running on the streets with his dad. No money, no love, no respect. And I don't think this is even a spoiler. Because it's so obvious from the beginning.
If they make a Drago spin-off, I would definitely watch it though.
The Social Dilemma (2020)
Disappointed: One sided - Sounds like a propaganda video
Although there is some truth in its message, this film is extremely one sided. It would be much more believable if they included some people with different opinions. As is, it 'sounds like' an echo chamber of a bunch of social media haters.
Yes! They have some good arguments, but most of them are plain nonsense.
Some messages are:
"Social media shows ads and manipulate people into buying stuff as well as some" Welcome to real world! Everything in your life has been manipulated by media and advertisement for decades (at least). How you dress, eat, talk, think. That's how media and advertisement work. Social media is just another tool.
"Social media enables fake news and polarization". Really? How about the times before social media? We had two world wars in a decade and a decades long cold war. Who polarized people in 20th century?
Before social media:
1 - Average people on the street did not have a platform to express their ideas. I don't understand how a progressive "intellectual" can have a problem with that.
2 - Average person did not have the chance to show their skills to the world. Media and Show business were controlled by a bunch of elites. Now, anybody can start a TV channel in youtube, or publish an independent movie on social media.
Social media enabled people to share ideas, find like-minded people, hear different opinions and many other positives. So, instead of starting a war against internet companies, why let's start a dialogue. Try and educate people, make internet safe for vulnerable people. Cars are useful, and also super dangerous. But, we don't banish them, right? We have been trying to make them safer.
