3 Body Problem (2024)
Book heads V Net heads
I've just finished the series and found it thoroughly enjoyable and reading the reviews it's clearly the people who have read the books who are most disappointed.
As a stand alone sci-fi series this is amazing,the science the story the pacing it all works beautifully to keep you involved and intrigued from the outset.
It's a layered story with multiple characters different timelines and because it's a series this has been condensed and adapted for tv much to the disappointment of the readers of the series.
If you haven't read the books and you love sci-fi this a very refreshing breath of fresh air to have intelligent sci-fi and good story telling back on our screens again.
Watch it.
Road House (2024)
Plumber Boy
The dialogue was so bad in places it felt like a child wrote the script. Mcgregors acting is on par with the plumber in a porn movie I mean even his punches were so slow they had to edit between when he threw them and when they were supposed to land. I enjoyed Gyllenhalls character and the comic relief guy.
Hats off for the physiques though I mean the two lads came in looking ripped. The supporting actors need to hang up their boots and maybe find a bar somewhere on the quays maybe work a night shift till something better comes along.
As for the director I mean he hired McGregor so fair to say he didn't expect much from his own work.
Dune: Part Two (2024)
These reviews??
I am gobsmacked at these reviews 😲I read them and no one mentions anything of note in the movie because nothing of note happens!
Is there fights yes but are they anything other than average....nope. Is the script anything special....nope. The casting is seriously questionable but these are such big names I'm not going there.
It's a huge production that's clear to see but almost nothing is done with is so you get this huge spectacle but it's just there while they tell a story almost 3hrs long and that's only because 65% of it is in slow motion. Hans Zimmer does what he does and lends a huge hand to nothing scenes. As for the ending well after Dune I said maybe Dune 2 will be better and after Dune 2 I'm thinking maybe Dune 3 will be better.
I've rated it a 5 but I'll push to a 6.5 because we have become so used to mediocrity in movies that I see why people are so surprised that this isn't bad ....but it's not great either.
Heart of Stone (2023)
Movie ratings these days
Have you noticed that movies are struggling to get near a 6.0.....thats to say movies are struggling to be average! Mediocrity is the level that's become the norm and movies as bad as this are the norm.
Script writing is the over whelming Achilles heal on almost every movie and it's so bad that it absolutely has to be on purpose because no one who can string a sentence together could ever pass this off as 'enough'
Gal Gadot joins a growing list of actors and actresses who are big names with little to no talent. The powers that be build them up into a household name then feed us complete garbage sold on the back of the name and brand they're built.
Movies are dying so fast,please stop.
Duell am Abgrund (2023)
Good guy bad guy?
It was hard to like either of the climbers in this documentary,both devoid of much emotion and neither had much to say worth retelling but maybe we can blame the director for that 🤷♂️
The documentary itself didn't really focus on anything bar records but didn't show much in the way of footage because .....well watch the documentary.
I love the subject matter but as documentary's go this is bang average and a bit disappointing if I'm honest.
It's a 5/10 for me only because what they do is incredible and seeing it in any way shape or form has to be acknowledged but it could've been so much better.
Infinite (2021)
Infinite Sadness
Wahlberg offered nothing and added nothing to this movie,an empty shell of a story drowned in the safety of multiple explosions and CGI.
Zero character development and a blatant rip off of movies past and present. There was huge potential here but badly cast and rushed storyline just felt like it was thrown together and shipped out to the public ......I gave it a 4 and even someone not expecting much will give it a 6 at very best.
Last Breath (2019)
Ratings Are Bizzare
As an avid documentary watcher i was completely taken in by the 10 star reviews but honestly the gentleman's colleagues the director the score and tone of this whole saga was muted and far from compelling in its delivery. A nice story yes. A must see.....absolutely not.
Beckett (2021)
Director?
How is it a person who has no idea of how to direct a movie can see such terribly shot scenes but the director can't? A suspense movie with a music score fit for a crap TikTok. A script that lacked any depth whatsoever. A couple with no chemistry. Characters with no substance. The movie world has died a death in recent years and I've been reduced to writing reviews now.
BAM, Bâtisseurs de l'Ancien Monde (2020)
Narration Rush
I am so disappointed with the person narrating......it's seems she is reading it off a page much to fast with terrible pronunciation making it impossible to follow at times. And why rush?calm down,ease us into the information and build tension.
It's ruined that's all i can say....such a shame.
1917 (2019)
Sick Of it
It's getting so painful scrolling past blatant movie employees reviews of movies,the language is copy and pasted by writers who clearly cannot talk like regular movie reviewers and the constant barrage of 10/10 is a sure sign the review is not worth reading.
It's become common now to give 2 stars because people give 10 to what is likely a 7 movie to balance the equation so people have to scroll endlessly for a genuine review of what is actually in the movie.
1917 is a decent movie it's a 6.5 .....we don't all go with our Oscar list ready to chew I off.
Magic for Humans (2018)
Magic For 6 year olds
Heavily edited heavily scripted and just plain silliness but not in an enjoyable way.
Magic has come a long way recently with some incredible achievements by Shin Lim and the likes but this guy has just put together a show for kids that even they would yawn at after a few minutes. ....Disappointing and any rating over 5 is not a fair reflection of the content in my opinion
The 5th Wave (2016)
Created account because of this movie
I can forgive a lot and I mean a lot,movies are escapism,imagination,non sensical bliss where nothing has to make sense just entertain that's it.
So after watching this movie I boiled the kettle and had an amazing transportation into a world of arabica beans,an immense journey throughout each sip drawing out finishing my coffee as I knew soon very soon it would end and I would be reminded of the near two hour mess I had just watched.
As the credits roll I quickly turned on my phone and searched angrily for ways of getting my money back.....no chance.
I genuinely can't bring myself to recount why this movie is so bad but implore you to watch it please do then come back and we can start a recovery group together maybe even become friends,the possibilities are endless but first you must watch.
I await your arrival.
