Ezra Miller, non-binary person who most recently held up the release of the movie "The Flash" through various "unsightly" actions, is brilliant. I really don't care what others say, but "The Flash" is pure comic that it's just awesome. All the cross-referencing, the whole way it's done, and the story itself.... DC has done an incredible job with "The Flash". Yes, here and there it may seem a bit childish, but that's the way it is with comics, or comic adaptations.
In keeping with the comic theme: the CGI. It's cruel in parts, but sometimes it's totally cool. In fact, I felt like this: I don't care! I compared exactly that with video games. Often the graphics are really crappy, but the story is really good.
In summary, I had a lot of fun with the movie. Sometimes, due to my age, I clapped my forehead, but mostly my hands. A great spectacle thanks to numerous characters. The Batman par excellence, Michael Keaton, is a highlight of the film, without a doubt, although in this film and at this age he fights more dynamically than ever. A bit strange, but accepted.
THE highlight for me is clearly Supergirl. Oh please, give us more of her! There is potential without end in it!
Again, in conclusion, this is not a 10/10, not an 8/10. It's less and yet fanservice deluxe. Well done, it was fun!
Very good action. Unfortunately, too little of it.
At least I had fun watching it. I accept Tom Holland for everything by now. He can be the next Arielle for all I care.
Dragon Ball Z in the boxing ring, that's exactly what lead actor and director Michael B. Jordan created with Creed III. As a big fan of the anime series, he took over one or two scenes directly into his directorial debut. And indeed, the boxing scenes are consistently dynamic, breathtaking and thus even better than the already great fights in the two predecessor films.
Apart from that, however, some disillusionment creeds, um... creeps in. The story seems artificial and unnecessary. That an old friend now becomes his greatest opponent... well... okay. You can do that, but you don't have to.
For me, Creed III is the worst part of the Creed series. I felt entertained, but in the end I didn't turn off the TV with that "those were the 2 best invested hours grin".
An old enemy returns to keep alive a story about family that made the 1:1 jump from air to water.
Visually stunning and atmospherically thrilling.
Nevertheless: a money-printing machine that seems artificial.
When Ellie and Joel went Berserker mode.
Daddy Mando is back in search of forgiveness. As thin as the story may be, it takes us to wonderful worlds and creatures that Star Wars last had to offer in its best days. It's the details, the settings, the relationship between Mando and Grogu, all of that, that revive this wonderful atmosphere already with the opening episode of season 3.
I just finished watching the 3rd episode of The Last of Us. Hell yeah, it was so gay and sooo good. Oh my god, I had tears in my eyes throughout. The series is so good. SOOOO GOOD! That's it.
It had it’s moments… not that much, but some.
While Namor was cool, the „new Black Panther“ disappointed.
Tbh, I don’t really know where to put that movie…
Intense! Goosebumps all over from beginning to the end. I loved the atmosphere and the perfectly captured Clickers. To be honest, I just loved everything about this episode.
Watching the end of Gladiator if you're sad.
Very bad idea.
Sometimes I watch films in clips. I jump to scenes that I love. I just did that with No Time to Die. The end scene. I melted so much. An era comes to an end, heartbreakingly. While the Craig series has had more lows than highs, the ending is simply magnificent.
When Ryan Gosling talks in movies, nothing can come of it. Or can it? No. Some of his lines - and those of many others - are hilarious. But: The action is quite good, even if sometimes overdone in a weird way. I felt well entertained, but I don't throw praise around either.
I couldn't decide whether to shout hurrah or bullshit from start to finish. But lo and behold, at least I watched the movie from start to finish.
Keywords: cool moments, over-the-top snot, annoying brat, strong Sly, sexy mom.
This remake of Watch Out, We're Mad, now available on Netflix, is an imposition. No charm, no fun. It doesn't honor the good old Bud Spencer and Terence Hill movies, but despises everything that made these films.
Top Gun: Maverick was a similar surprise for me as Mad Max: Fury Road. I went into the film without particularly high expectations, but with good general ratings in mind and couldn't stop grinning.
Such brilliant shots, that familiar and driving music, that connection to the first film and yet that uniqueness. This tension, this incredible action. Much like Terminator 2, Top Gun: Maverick is for me a sequel that outdoes the first film in more ways than one.
And as a bonus: Even my wife, who is very picky about movies, was heavily into the film.
Yesterday I watched Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of What The Fuck Was That.
The movie was kind of cool but also kind of strange. (haha) I didn't like that Wanda was the bad girl. I did, on the other hand, really like how she took out the heroes of the other world. I don't know. Overall, it wouldn't have needed it, but I probably lack too much comic book knowledge. Doctor Strange was never someone I read.
Short and sweet: Partly strong effects, a few really nice ideas and otherwise - for me - superfluous. No matter. I got to know and love the character through Benedict Cumberbatch. From there go 4 it.
It’s all about stupid dicks. I love it.
(Not geh.)
Yesterday I watched Frozen II with my kids. Well, we had done that on several stages. But yesterday we watched the extremely emotional ending. I can't even tell who cried more. My kids or me.
Fantastic movie. :heart_eyes:
An incredibly good action film with heart.
I just saw The Batman :bat:. At least what I was able to see. Holy cheese hole, that movie was dark. And creepy. And kind of nothing else. :popcorn:
Spoiler warning! You can't do without spoilers for this film. Honestly not. Spider's honour.
Yes, all the Spider-Man of the last films are represented and yes, that was great. All the villains from the last films were represented and yes, that was great too. This film is fanservice deluxe. So many things mesh together in such a great way. But to really understand everything, you should have seen all the Spider-Man and Marvel films beforehand.
The film is a firework of action, comedy and drama. Everything fits perfectly, and although the running time is comparatively short for this number of stars and villains, in my opinion no one came up short.
And as expected, the film managed to make me want to watch the previous Spider-Man films again.
In this sense: Great! Not a masterpiece, there are better ones, but as mentioned, fanservice deluxe that knows how to entertain over the full running time.
A day later, I still have no idea whether the film is incredibly atmospheric, exciting and ingenious, or just hyped crap packaged in epic images and a constantly blaring Hans Zimmer score.
(Timothée Chalamet is hot.) :see_no_evil:
The long awaited farewell of Daniel Craig as James Bond has finally found its way into the still open movie theaters.
The big screen shows breathtaking scenery, skillfully captured action and great emotions.
No Time to Die attempts to tie together the strands of the previous Craig flicks, and it certainly succeeds. And although it doesn't seem like it was ever planned to end this way, the development of this character and the story is enjoyable.
For my part, I should have re-watched the previous films beforehand, as I didn't really understand many an allusion and perhaps didn't appreciate one or two scenes adequately. On the other hand, the film worked quite well on its own. One rhymes then just something together.
What I personally didn't like: Craig seemed a bit too old for the role in this film. The action with him was much more leisurely than in the previous films, for example. I also couldn't stand the new 007. She had absolutely zero charisma. Quite in contrast to Ana de Armas, who was the highlight of the film in the 10 minutes of screentime, and not only because of her dress. Her role was incredible. Her interplay with Craig was fantastic. I loved how they drank together, how they acted and then how Ana took out a couple of antagonists at the end of her short stint. Like many before me, I wish I could see more of her.
The story told here is a game of intrigue, love and drama. It all basically works together wonderfully. First and foremost, the dramatic part once again took a much larger place, which I appreciated due to the impending end of the Craig era.
I had fun with the film, I was entertained, I didn't like some scenes and I hated the ending. Anyway. All in all, what came was kind of inevitable. And in that respect, somehow everything was done right.
What a beautiful film.
It sounds kind of abstruse, I know. "Beautiful." But it is. From the beginning to the end I thought to myself: My God, this is beautiful to look at. Be it the fight choreography, which picks up speed at the beginning, then takes a time-out and climaxes in a wonderfully Asian atmosphere towards the end.
It was impressive to see how everything was captured. In glorious colours, with a soundtrack that is both classic and modern, this is where contemporary events in the form of streamers meet Far Eastern history and legends. The mix is so grandiose that I had tears of joy in my eyes.
The actors are thoroughly likeable and superbly chosen.
This Marvel film was once again "something different". Refreshingly new and a revelation for fans of Asian art.
Great acting, and yet I don't understand what really makes Fern tick. The movie tried to explain it to me, but I don't quite understand the woman. But that doesn't matter. The insight into this life of the nomads was as interesting as it was depressing, but sometimes also adventurously beautiful. It is a very simple and at the same time difficult, free life in chains, so to speak. But what (in) life is simple? Every lifestyle brings joys and pitfalls.
Anyway, the very long visible images, the partly beautiful and depressing mood, the soundtrack, everything is appropriate. The term arthouse often did not go out of my head. It is not a film for leisurely hours. It is one that makes you think. And not just about how nomads live, but how you live yourself. Do you really enjoy your life?
Is it the perfect video game movie with an enormous amount of references in which Ryan Reynolds supposedly plays himself and at the same time a great hidden love story finds a grandiose conclusion for me?
Yes.
I enjoyed the movie time. And I didn't discover or understand all the references. But I didn't have to. The film is well made and also has a lot of heart. That's all I really wanted.
Calling Disney/Pixar's Luca a gay allegory is like calling Matrix a trans allegory. You can. You can interpret exactly that into it and also assume exactly that intention. And maybe it's true for one film and also for the other. And then exactly that is much more than okay. But this thought aside, Luca is a beautiful, colorful animation adventure that deals with friendship and courage. The story is wonderfully thought out, in part extremely profound and provides laughs and tears. I had a lot of fun watching it.
The first 15 minutes: A pretty great beginning. Sub-Zero and Scorpion fight each other even before they get their world-famous suits and names. Here ingeniously captured fight scenes meet feelings.
Then more fighters join in. Well-known names like Jax or Sonya Blade, but also the newcomer Cole Young, who may not quite fit into the overall picture, even if the succinct storyline urges exactly that.
This kind of prequel to supposedly upcoming sequels is a visually brilliant start. One is strongly oriented towards the video games of the current generation. Be it the brutality, the familiar fighting moves or a final "Fatality".
Still: It doesn't work that completely without an aftertaste. Again and again I felt reminded of the less good, but damn cult Mortal Kombat from 1995. Somehow, a touch more seriousness was missing for me. Various jokes in the film, for which above all Kano deserves a medal of shame, seem somehow inappropriate. I would have liked that one would have stayed on the very hard path without much fun. This way, however, one drives on two tracks, which doesn't always work.
Despite the small but appropriate criticism, I really liked the film. There are numerous scenes worth remembering. I think they did a lot right here. A successor will certainly go one better.
The most entertaining movie since time loops have been around.
Nicely done. Honest, heartfelt, sad.
I shed a few tears during the film. It touched me very much. It is not a feelgood movie. This one follows a faithful line, a life line if you will. That of the dog Buck. He meets many different people who walk a part of the way with him. In the end it is the wonderful Harrison Ford. Sometime before that, the at least equally wonderful Omar Sy.
It’s a story of life. Invented? Yes, perhaps. Is Buck a CGI dog? Most certainly so. Did that bother me? Not in the least. It’s a heartfelt adventure that I recommend without reservation.
