Irul (2021)
A one time not so thrilling watch....but worth watching.
First and foremost a huge appreciation to the sound team of the movie for bringing in even the minute sound effects into the picture with the nuances of the same and making it a mesmerizing movie experience.
The initial build up of the movie was breathtaking add to it the style quotient which stays steady throughout the entire length of the movie.
The cinematography feels crisp and the colour toning just adds more layers to the story telling and character build up, the dialogue deliveries are absolutely perfect owing hugely to the acting prowess of actors involved. Although the character Alex could have been protrayed with a bit more edge since it falls behind significantly in the later parts.
The plot premises is a huge let down which suffers more because of lack of continuity in switching between the scenes and seems to drag it out till the very end making the movie quite predictable. The cinematic revelations which would ideally serve the purpose of plot layout only drags down the movie because of poor execution in incorporating it to story telling following after it.
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Absolutely Horrendous movie. Doubting my choice as a DC Fan !
The movie had so many options to indulge the most iconic characters and turn it into a phenomenal movie. But all that was available to the audience was a traumatizing experience. The only good thing about the movie is Pedro Pascal's acting caliber which eventually gets oppressed by lack of good story board and good character building. Even more so he is the only element that made the movie watchable. Cheetah did do a cameo in the movie which was again foreshadowed by what can be called as more of circus skills than action sequence. The movie tries so hard to be relatable that it forgets and eventually fails to indulge wonder woman in any manner as a superhero movie. The many lose ends in the movie just adds to the utter misery that this movie already is.
No wonder Patty Jenkin's do not want to direct the 3rd part. Even Gal Gadot has grown so distant from playing the character that she does no Justice to it in the movie.
