Crime Scene: Down the Rabbit Hole (2021)
previous episodes were okay
But this one is just.... i am lost for words.
talk about fantastic! and talk about stretching!
just a pile of conspiracy and paranormal.
worthless of your time and effort.
human imagination is really amazing.
Midsommar (2019)
Waste of time
And waste of words.
i love theatre and cinema, but this ain't it.
just simple as that.
again, and again, waste of time and waste of words.
don't waste your precious time on this 'thing'.
The Expanse: Oyedeng (2021)
NEED CONSISTENCY
So when Cyn dies just like that, Naomi lives JUST LIKE THAT. Give me a break. Its a fiction, but even though it is, try to make it as 'sound' as possible will ya? This episode is THE worst on the Season 5.
Lone Survivor (2013)
actually, four options
Four, try to make them lose conscience and use that time to escape that area.
Making someone lose conscience is tricky, but not impossible.
At least worth a try when you are in a situation like THAT.
single lesson from the film; use your head.
Le chant du loup (2019)
Miserable fall of french cinema
When did french cinema started to fall so miserably...
this film has it all; all the cheap pretending facade of Hollywood cinema stereotypes.
je-sus. just so bad.
cheap character, cheap narrative, cheap cinematography...
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Hot darn this is bad
Wow! I don't want to talk down those who worked so hard to make the film...
But... hot darn... this film is... just... one of the worst...
Kinda funny...
If I sht, all I have to do is do some push with my belly, while some films like this surely warrants many efforts and the end result is the same.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
hated 1st half of the series
At the start, as a die-hard trekkie, just hated every detail of this series.
unlike other star trek series, it was focused too much on violence as its main drive.
but now, after giving it up at first attempt and again giving it a go ahead with finishing 2nd season, i gotta admit i'm loving it.
i admint that every start, i was very skeptical.
hated machael character, hated sarek, hated pike...
at start of the first season, and at the start of the second season... stories seemed tooo difficult and banal at best with my skepticism taking over me.
but trust me, if you remember what the star trek is about, its interaction with characters, its relationships, bonding, peace, science...and can get past the part where it feels like... too far away from star trek's ideals, you will see that it successfully captures it, embraces it.
also, at the early stage of the season two, where it links with THE original series with captain Pike, I was just amaze how much effort was put into this.
this is one of good stories linking up with core of star trek, and am grateful that this series exists.
hope it continues and hope to see more from it.
Mortal Engines (2018)
Read a book, but also deserves a credit
Yes, compared to the original book... the movie is indeed flop.
But by a movie itself, it has its own merits.
For a person who enjoyed both the Lord of the Ring series as well as the Hobbits. this film also deserves a credit with some meanings and very good ideas.
Gunhamdo (2017)
Very poorly executed
Thankfully, I was given a chance to view this film at the closed preview just a day before the opening in Seoul. So with free tickets, along with free drinks and popcorn which was provided by the distributor of the film, I was in a very happy state when the viewing started, which fell much to dismay at the end of the film.
By the way, I said 'thankfully' because I did not had to spend a dime for the ticket. Still, I am regretful that I wasted my good 2 hours for... for this piece.
I do not want to give away spoilers for those who want to watch this awful film, but I can simply narrow it down to one thing; entertainment characteristics of the films.
Whenever we go to a movie theater to see a certain film such as this, we visit not expecting to watch a historical document film, but expecting a nice 'fictional' plot, of course being based on the historical events.
The movies, after all, are always fictional. As much as it tries to depict the history much close to exact facts as possible, it is nevertheless, fictional lines and fictional stories which were re- created for viewer's pleasure.
After the preview finished, there was a Q&A session with the director Mr. Seung-wan Ryoo. One of the audience asked the director whether this film is bound to be criticized for creating much of the 'fictional story' instead of accurately following the exact turn of events.
But... films being fiction, is the biggest premise that all the audience agree on. For watching well made historical films such as 'Braveheart', 'Saving Private Ryan', 'Titanic', 'Das Boot' and so forth... I don't ever recall people criticizing these films for being too fictitious. '300' was absurdly fictitious as well, but was quite well received by the viewers. Quite entertaining too.
So, when the audience asks the director, whether this film to be criticized for being 'too fictitious', I think he meant to say he was not mesmerized with the story-line, at all.
That's it for this film. Not entertaining at all. If you want to destroy the actual history, you should at least try to make it fun & pleasing as possible.
Director pointed out when he recalled the actual history of Battleship Island, his imagination unraveled beyond limitation. I believe that's where the problem lies. Getting carried away by one's imagination too much.
Additionally, one audience pointed out this film being quite similar to Bollywood made history movies if we forget dancing on the Bollywood films, and much of violence on this film. Most of Bollywood history films (Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of them, big love for Khans), while completely ignoring the actual turn of events, there is a one a bright shining (Good looking as well) hero who saves the day for all, or die-trying, very dramatically.
But even I love Bollywood movies, I didn't expected to watch "Special Bollywood edition Korean film" with additional blood-lust.
