Spiral (2021)

Terribly bland and predictable

[1/10 · 15 June 2021]

This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I'm not even joking, the movie is boring, really stupid, and extremely predictable. It looks like a movie Micheal Scott could direct, it's so full of clichés that it's actually baffling that this was produced.

I kid you not the main character is the "I don't want a partner" cop character we've already seen a million times, and there's literally nothing else to his character other than that badass imagery.

Also the ending shot is hilarious.

Black Mirror: Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too (2019) Season 5, Episode 3

What the hell ?

[3/10 · 5 June 2019]

I'm gonna try not to spoil the episode. It starts off pretty strong I have to say, with a dark and very interesting look at popstars and their impact on the youth. I even thought "hey, this is really good, might become my favorite of this season if it continues that way"

But then, for some unknown reason the story becomes extremely dumb. The later half of the story feels like an other story really, with a more fun atmosphere which is so disappointing ! The characters become obnoxious, the story accumulates clichés and even the acting and directing become mediocre if not bad

Everything feels so wrong and out of place what the hell

Might be the worst episode of Black Mirror ever honestly

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

what

[3/10 · 21 March 2019]

8.1/10 ? Really ? This movie is the most overrated movie of 2018, and I love queen !

I would like to begin with what I liked. Ramy Malek's performance as Freddy is phenomenal and it deserves all the praise its getting. Then the live aids is recreated really well, which is impressive. But that's kinda it...

Now for the bad part. Nothing in the story is real ! The way they met, the producer that refuses Bohemian Rhapsody, Freedy's relationships with his boyfriends or Queen's "separation" all of this is either romanticized or even not true at all. But that's not the problem, I have no issues with depictions of real events that aren't romanticized to give the audience a great story, The Social Network does that and it's an amazing movie. Here, they decided to change the story to have the most basic, unoriginal and bland plot of a rock band becoming famous. This is the same story we've heard a million times, but hey, it's Queen so who cares am I right ?

I'm going to admit that I enjoyed watching the movie, but as soon as I started thinking about it, it became worse and worse. I believe this movie is rated 8.1/10 just because it is Queen. That's the only reason, you're all (and I was) blinded by either nostalgia or your deep love for Queen's music. Because boy oh boy is there a ton of Queen's music in this movie, everywhere, at any time. They even got as far as recreating nearly the full Live AIDS concert, which, I'll admit is impressive. But why ? 20 min of concert ? In a MOVIE ? It doesn't move the plot forward, it doesn't develop characters, it just wastes time ! But it's Queen so everything is alright, right ? No everything is not alright, this is not acceptable. For a movie that praised and for Queen we should expect a better movie that this. And that editing, my god how the hell did it get Best Editing at the Oscars ?

Just think about the movie a bit more and you'll see all the problem it's got. We deserve a better Queen movie...

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

Is this deserved ?

[7/10 · 14 June 2018]

Look, the movie was really really good. I had fun watching it and it probably is one of the best MCU movies. HOWEVER. Can we consider Avengers 3 one of the greatest movie of all time ? Specially when it is just the first part of the thanos storyline !
