Taxi 5

taxi 1 2 3 and 4. check. mediocre films but entertaining.

taxi 5? garbage. old characters are gone. the ones who remain are plain idiots. even the driving is lackluster.

waste of time.

Ready Player One

Brilliantly fun, well written and directed, LOTS of references some subtle others quite obvious to movies, games, characters, etc... kept smiling from start to finish. great movie.

Avengers: Endgame

Well, 3 years after, finally got to see the movie. Managed to fend off the spoilers which was great for my viewing experience.
I really enjoyed the movie and great conclusion to the enormous marathon of movies before it.

There are several things I really dislike about the movie, like fat Thor, minimizing Vision's sacrifice and power ( for someone with an infinity stone in its forehead was expecting more), and captain getting to return to the past? that was the guide, don't charge anything for the plan to work right?

Widow's sacrifice was also a high point helping define Hawkeye's path.

But overall I really, really liked it. Had lots of fun watching and felt emotionally involved with the plot. Fitting end to the "greatest Avenger", the weight of the universe on his shoulders, loved Cap and Thor side by side, spider man, doctor strange and the whole gang together.

good one!

F9

Hahahahahahahaha. Well I got what I was expecting. As the franchise goes forward the film's get more ridiculous every time.
I had fun and enjoyed the movie but found myself rolling my eyes through several scenes like "really?".
Predictable story, missing Brian, Shaw and Hobbs results in one of those Sunday movies that we just watch.
Story short, when you have family you don't need physics!

Don't Look Up

I gave this movie a 6 just because of the cast and acting which was spot on, otherwise would be lower.

I found it boring with a great satire of today's modern society.

Globally, scientists aren't heard nor listened to and even when the evidence is right in front of their eyes they still deny it.
It depicts the purposeless of most of our lives giving attention and importance to petty things, events and persons. And we keep making stupid people famous...

If that's the purpose of the film than it accomplished what it set out to be, although in a boring and just occasionally funny way.

Black Panther

Good superhero movie. Good acting and plot show a growing king redeeming the wrongs of past. Loved in the end not taking the easy obvious way with the good guys saving everyone. Showed an evolving culture still holding the ancient ways which almost caused a disgrace worldwide. Wakanda for ever!

The Lion King

I usually rate my movies accordingly to how I felt watching it and that's why I have it an 8. The beginning is superb just like the original and I just felt happy with the iconic and familiar song. And just like the original so is most of the rest of the film. A few changes here and there but the songs and moments are present. I felt Musafa's death was underwhelming for my hopes but I got into the story and sometimes felt like a little kid again, which was great!

Free Guy

Fun movie with a somewhat different approach to the lives of NPCs. It's easy to watch and to find several references do other movies and characters.

After ready player one though, it's just one more movie.

Turning Red

This is just a regular animation movie. It revolves around the dramas of 13 year olds with focus on an Asian family with super controller mother. Watching the story kind of explains why the mother is like that and everything builds from there.
The animation is superb and the pandas are top notch.
For me, it's an enjoyable movie, that leaves a lot of unanswered questions regarding the hole family legacy.
So not great but not bad either, far from Pixar's best.

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum

JOHN F***ING WICK! You really don't mess with the Baba Yaga.
Although losing the novelty from the first one this is a really action packed kick ass movie.
The fights are tremendous and a monstrous scene with Sofia and her dogs... One of the best ever!
The dialog isn't nothing to write home about but this is an action movie and it delivers on all counts.
Some new characters are a worthy addition and I'm really fired up to see where this goes.

A Star Is Born

Life

Good acting lost in a mediocre movie. The alien is cool and cleverly imagined. My interest was cooling down as the film progressed with some plot fails from the top astronauts aboard the ISS.

Despite predictable, good ending.

Tomb Raider

The movie had big shoes to fill. It contradicts all other movies regarding the father daughter relationship which felt awkward. Good acting gives me hope for the new Lara croft because the first one was really good. The film itself was empty of content. It just shouted Here's the new Tomb raider. Still entertaining tough.

Alien: Covenant

mediocre film. only fun because there are aliens in it. no plot, no story. disappointing.

Sausage Party

The Equalizer 2

Went to see the movie with low expectations. glad I did. It's not a bad movie, it's entertaining and fun. The action scenes are great, well shot and planned. For me it's a movie to see at home on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Deadpool 2

First of, this is a gem of a movie. I laughed all the way through. It isn't a masterpiece but it is an excellent film. Love this humour, the characters and action. the plot is there also showing a growing Deadpool. literally! It is difficult to followup a clever and entertaining movie as the first but they did it. My advice, wait till the very end of the credits. It's worth it.

Inferno

was this based on the book? really? must have read a different book. turned the movie to commercial garbage when the book was surprisingly different with the ending. changing above all else the ending? oh no...

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Glad I saved it to watch on one of those lazy days.
My only interest was to finish the saga and had low expectations.
Poor story, the sidekicks are annoying, LOTS of poor CGI, which was a surprise, and some old characters just to make an appearance.
Suddenly his son is dead, on the brink of divorce, no context to the plot, no explanations, it all seems poorly though of.
Not a lot going for it, and a long long long way from the Indiana Jones we know and love.

Uncharted

Haven't played the games unfortunately, but am keen on doing it.

Decided to watch the movie without that context and found the plot unbelievable. thinking of that whole mechanism below Barcelona's streets just annoyed me. Otherwise it was imaginative although not explaining much of backstory but leaving the suspense for the next one.

Entertaining, fun, an aerial chase with caravels is a first, made for an entertaining watch if you know what you are getting.

Overall seems like a die hard movie origin story. Flashy, but without much content.

Thor: Love and Thunder

What a disappointment. I went to this movie with low expectations because the poster itself made me have reservations regarding the story.

Thor seems to have several versions, fun, idiot, bro, hero, clueless and so on but the latest trend of bro Thor and this idiot one doesn't feel right to me. The story is weak and the ending... underwhelming. It all wraps up in an instance with lots to be explained.
The ending feels rushed.

If not for the great soundtrack this would've been harder still to watch. O enjoyed Ragnarok but this is just... off.

Thor will return it says in the end. If they keep going like this I hope not. I remember when Thor was fun to watch and not a pain.

The Batman
Joker

Slow paced, brilliant dark dark performance by Joaquin. I'm not a connoisseur of DC but having followed the batman movies it didn't make much sense, although it really is a good take on the descent into madness by the Joker. Good watch but really dark and slow paced.

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)

The expectation wasn't high so I was able to enjoy the movie. Had a few laughs.

Bad Boys for Life

was hyped to see the finale with these actors. it's one of those Sunday movies. the acting was wrong, the story was weak and even the bad boys formula got a little bit lost. it was just an open door to the next one with new actors. in spite, it's moderately entertaining, guns and bullets and explosions kinda movie. oh and had a few laughs.

Angel Has Fallen

If I would resume this movie in one word I would say without a doubt, PREDICTABLE!

the first two installments are action packed but this one is more of everything! more guns, more bad guys, more bullets, more explosions.

story wise I was left disappointed with the lack of it. someone who has already saved the life of the president for two times should have some benefit of the doubt when being charged with the assassination attempt on the president. someone with direct and easy access to the president wouldn't need such an elaborate plan to kill all of the secret service and leave clear DNA evidence at the scene.

so, entertaining action flick but really short on content.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters

Well, it tries do follow the plot from the last one but I fails spectacularly.
Out of nowhere, the titans respond to a call replicated by humans, are released on a destruction rampage and there's a battle for the king of monsters title between Godzilla and a 3 headed flying space monster? come on!!

then mothra is zillas "wife" and dies protecting him when he's down.
Godzilla is replenished by a nuke, becomes thermonuclear and ends up exploding with people watching from a helicopter...
everything does not goes!

Hellboy

I actually enjoyed the previous Hellboy movies. Far from great movies but enjoyable to watch.

I started this reboot with low expectations and glad I did. Not a great performance from neither of the characters and the best characters were Nimue cause it's Milla easy on the eues and the incredibly creepy and yucky witch (Baba yaga) who doesn't get enough screen time.

Not a memorable film and really not an enjoyable one. Wouldn't have missed anything if I haven't seen it.

Green Book

great movie. A smart and fun way to analyze prejudice against black people in a time of change. a lightweight approach that managed to focus on the positive side rather than the victimisation. well done!

Venom

well I was hyped for the movie and got kind of disappointed. I wasn't convinced by the acting, but maybe that was intended for the main character. the story is ok but the change of heart by venom was rushed and lacked justification. it's an ok movie and venom looks and sounds great.
