Doctor Strange

For ME, a typical Marvel flick: nice especial effects and witty lines cannot disguise a weak plot that has been told a thousand times.

Best Asian action movie I know.

A huge disappointment for me!

Peppermint

Would be superb if the plot wasn't that predictable! Fast pacing action and shootings that look,feel and sound like the real thing and not the artificial 0815 Hollywood action crap.

The Predator

What a waste of time! Worse than predators and waaay worse than the original, this totally unnecessary movie butchers the name of one of the best (at its time) action movies!!!

The Commuter

Nice action thriller with a simple yet interesting and intriguing plot. Didn't like the ending, otherwise I can recommend this flick.

Didn't expect much but liked it alot. Even though there are tons of clichés ([spoilers]foremost the lawless eastern European monsters / gangsters against the righteous US one man equalizer [/spoilers] ;-)), it is a fun watch that I can recommend to all action fans!

Baby Driver

Some of the drifts, stunts, gunfights, etc. are a little too much (-1 ) and the soundtrack is mostly shitty (- a second *) IMHO. Man, think about how great this flick would be with solid rock&roll tracks instead of those mainly annoying bepedy-bop rap and pop sh*!

True Grit

Well, what should I say? It's a long winded story and neither really funny nor compelling. Even the decent to good acting doesn't make it much better. I would not watch it for a second time...

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

I can only second that! Not a blockbuster for sure but a fun one-time watch.

Stupid and not really funny, Tropic Thunder has not much to offer, neither as a comedy nor as tribute to action war movies. Skip it!

The beginning was way to long and the ending unsatisfying. However, the action sequences make up for a lot!
Nowhere near Nolan's Trilogy but watching the movie wasn't a waste of time, either. On the other hand I'm probably not going to watch it again...

The Big Bang Theory: Season 10

Have to agree with SKE: if you no longer like the show, why do you watch it?!!? I don't get it... Anyway, I also think there have been better Seasons, none the less this 10th was fun and I for one am looking forward to the 11th!

Dunkirk

Watched Dunkirk at a movie theater and was disappointed: without knowing anything about the movie besides that Christopher Nolan has produced it and that it was a WWII movie, I hoped to see something with a brilliant story like "The Dark Knight" or "Memento". That is not the case here, there is not match to be had here storywiese (however, it is accurate historically according to: http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2017/07/20/what_s_fact_and_what_s_fiction_in_dunkirk.html).
From a technical point of view, Dunkirk is a good if not even great flick: good acting, minimalistic but great / creepy soundtrack and bombastic sound effects. You have to be at a cinema to feel those bullets fly, the motors of the Spitfires howl or the torpedo hit in your guts! Wow!!! Additionally it manages to make you really fear for the life of the soldiers from the get go to and there is this certain claustrophobic feeling about it throughout the whole time.
While Dunkirk reminded me again of the cruelty of war and how happy and thankful all of us, who live in western Europe, should be that there is currently now open war raging here, I still found the movie lacking and wished for a much better plot.

Didn't like it, unfortunately! There are nearly no horror elements here, something that made the original Alien movie so ingenius! And I mean come on, as Frikilax puts it: how can a crew responsible for 2000+ lives in a colony mission be so incompetent??? Thats just not realistic... I think the whole idea with David turning bad is brillant but thats just not enough to save the flick.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

Technically sometimes impressive and, from an visual point of view only, well done. However the storyline is very thin and rather boring. Wouldn't watch it again!

The Big Bang Theory: Season 9

Not the best season IMHO, but still very enjoyable!

Arrow: Season 2

Quit after the 2nd season. What was barely tolerable in season 1 got really on my nerve (models instead of actresses, silly costumes to hide the identities of the superheroes, mediocre storylines) as well as the partly boring flashbacks were to much for me to enjoy the show. Going to give Mr. Robot a try now.

Watched it at the cinema and did quite like it.

From Dusk Till Dawn

Watched it a long time ago on TV and didn't like it at all! Tarantino made much better movies.

loading replies
Ted

Watched it on Amazon Instant TV and I thought the first half was really funny but then it went south somehow. Cannot point the finger to what exactly it was I didn't like about the second half, but I kind of found it rather boring.

While not a bad movie, I most probably won't be watching it again.

The Hateful Eight

While not bad (like "From Dusk till Dawn"), I don't think this is a brilliant movie, either. It is overly brutal and the story is not that intriguing. Granted, it also never gets boring since you cannot anticipate, what Tarantino has up its sleeve next. However, I'm probably not going to watch it again and would advice you to watch Django, Kill Bill or Inglorious Bastards instead if you are in the mood of watching a Tarantino movie.

Shameless: Season 2

Brilliant! One of the best series I know, on par with the best seasons of Scrubs, X-Files and Big Bang Theory.

iZombie: Season 1

A nice idea with the zombie ME, there is definitely potential there. Some of the episodes of this first season are quite good and intriguing. Others no more than mediocre.

However, the show has some of that same artificial feeling to it that is constantly present in Arrow: most the actors / actresses look like models instead of police officers and MEs, social workers and gang members or doctors and xyz. I find this quite annoying. Hopefully they tone that down in future seasons!

Shameless: Season 1

Hilarious! Finally gave Shameless a try on Netflix and instantly loved it!!! It is so harsh, dirty and shameless that I couldn't get enough of it. Nearly all the characters feel real, there is none of the typical Hollywood "glossiness", no artficial feeling to it. And while sometimes very asocial and selfish, you have to like most of the characters. Cant wait for the next seasons...

Turkish for Beginners: Season 2

Hilarious!!! Surprisingly fun german sitcom. Season two is the best one and the only shortcoming is the partially mediocre performances of some of the actors, especially "Cem" IMHO
