Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)

Beautiful visuals - weak story and acting

[6/10 · 18 December 2022]

The first thing on my mind when I saw this movie was how terrible was spider (played by Jack Champion). The acting was worse than 8th grade children play. It was really annoying. I Dont understand how and actor like this could end up in such a big budget movie.

The visuals of the movie are ofcourse stunning - the vfx is on another level. But the script is really shallow. It has been in the making for 13 years - and the most important part seems to be have forgotten. It is an average movie at best.

They Dont take time to develop the back story, tell us about the land or its habitants. The first movie actually was a lot better..

Snabba Cash (2021– )

One of the best

[9/10 · 17 October 2022]

I've watched a lot of TV shows that describe the topic of drug maffias and underworld life. This one has to be one of the best interpretations of that. I would compare this to another Netflix show called Top Boy.

The character development is amazing. The story has its twists and turns and you will be surprised. I'm also amazed by the level of production quality. The camera work is outstanding. It was so good this series that we binge watched the whole series and also season 2 in one go.

This topic is also very real and the truth in Sweden currently. It's about immigrants, life as an immigrant and drug dealing...This sadly is the everyday life here in Sweden now.

Luckiest Girl Alive (2022)

Terrible acting, directing and camera work

[1/10 · 17 October 2022]

This has to be the worst movie I've seen this year. I do normally check the reviews, but this time I did not dig in why people have given it such scores. The camera work is absolutely terrible. It's the directors job to tell a story via a camera lens. Now you can do it as a first course student in a university or like a master. A true artist. Milas acting is below all levels that should be considered.

I do not recommend this movie to anyone. An absolute disaster. It is based on a best selling novel of the same name. I don't think many people rated the movie here but the topic of the movie....

Orphan: First Kill (2022)

Use Google before you use a country in your movies

[1/10 · 4 September 2022]

A quick Google would have told you Estonia is a member of European Union. Has nothing to do with Russia or Russians except that they occupied us after second world War. We have our own language which is not Russian nor sounds like one. Our people speak better English than most of Americans and not with a Russian accent. All of these things could have been avoided by doing a Google search and opening a YouTube and watching one video about our country.

Movie itself is badly written, color grading is unacceptable.

Terrbible. So not waste time on this movie.

The storyline is completely similar to the first movie. There is not much difference here. A few simple differences.

The Queen's Gambit (2020)

A true masterpiece

[10/10 · 30 November 2020]

This is an epic masterpiece. This would be my #1 rated series of all time. Amazing story, the emotions it brings up. Recommend to anyone.

Last Vegas (2013)

An OK movie to watch

[6/10 · 29 November 2013]

This is definitely not another lets go to Vegas, party and end up in trouble movie. The movie is about friendship, life and how our life passes so quick that one day we think "where did it call go"? Movie also reminds us that the most important thing in life are friends.

The cast is promising - freeman, De niro etc. They do not disappoint and the movie itself is enjoyable. Definitely watchable but not the best one out there at the moment. Easily followable and you do not have to think that much.

Overall the performances are average, the story itself is nothing special.

Oldboy (2013)

Excellent movie, A definitely MUST SEE

[10/10 · 28 November 2013]

First of all I have to say I have not seen the original movie and i was not that familiar with the plot itself.

The movie was excellent not to say superb, i think the story itself is one of the most original ones. A man is imprisoned by "someone" for 20 years and then let go for reasons unknown. The imprisoned now will want revenge and wants to find out who and why did this.

The plot itself 10/10. Acting is good, but I would have wanted to see more of the charecteristics and motives explained.

This is definitely a MUST WATCH movie for everybody who has not seen the original. I can not understand how is the rating so low at the moment. Should be 8/10 definitely.
