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:
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 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.
Tearing, brutal, honest.
Even after having seen the film several times, still shocking. Grandiosly played by the entire cast. A masterpiece.
I did not laugh.
At most, I smiled.
But maybe that counts as little as the song that is supposed to save the world in the film. In truth, it's about being excellent to each other. The film conveys this message in an absolutely unagitated way.
Profound with a lot of humor and heart. A marvelous film with two wonderfully harmonizing actors.
