Crimen y castigo (1951)
Decent adaptation of a literary masterpiece
I don't know why the rating for this movie is so low.Why did you,other 4 people, rated this so low? I think it does a good work adapting Dosteievsky's best known book (and one of my favorite novels) .You may think the movie simplifies the book, but in spite of that I think it's true to the novel's main theme.I think they made a good effort in recreating the atmospheres the Russian master describes. I really liked the way the movie ends, with Ramón, the Mexican Raskolnikov, simply saying "I killed" as he enters the police station.Finally, if it's true that this film is far from movie masterpieces from that era like "Los olvidados"; I believe it's still outstanding into it's Mexican golden age of movies context.
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
Revenge of the Sh*t
Where do i begin? I feel profoundly disappointed by this piece of crap. All the people that thinks that this movie is awful said that it can't be worse than episodes I and II; but I think it is. Only the visuals save it from be the worst movie ever; still, the freaking visuals weren't good enough.The light-saber fights were mediocre.Dooku, who managed to escape from Yoda(the best Jedi) in episode II is easily killed by Anakin. The Jedi die at the hands of the Clone troopers;I can't believe the ewoks defended themselves better.General Grievous, who fights (and kills) Jedi in an spectacular way in Cartoon Network's Clone Wars, is in this movie only a pathetic coward mouse that runs away from Obi-Wan the cat.Kenobi kills him even more easily than he killed Maul in episode I.It seems not even ILM can do what good traditional animation has done for years. About Chewbacca, at the beginning of 2005 I thought: "This year EpisodeIII premieres,it seems that George Lucas can definitely ruin Star Wars,so I better don't build up expectation" Then,when I learned that Chewbacca would appear I thought: "If Chewbacca appears the movie can't be so bad". But what really happened is that the fact that everybody's favorite wookie only appears like 1 f--king minute in a 2 1/2 hour movie, only made me angrier! (That's right I'm a, I mean I was, a Chewbacca fan). And Darth Vader's appearance was even worse with that pathetic NOOO!! scream and the subsequent stupid bodyguard's stand aside the stupid emperor. I've criticized the visuals cause the story and acting are just hideous, there's nothing good about it. I agree with one of my country-men's review:"Dialogues are soap opera level". I can't believe one friend of mine that aspires to be a writer really liked that crappy script. My English isn't good enough to express what I feel about this "revenge of the sh*t". I guess I can only say that once i believed in the Force, but, not anymore.
