Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
Good start, ending could have been better
Pretty good movie. Enough action and with enough speed for the most part. Fun to see the three major settlements back from the 2015 mad max saga.
In the begin I did worry a little bit about the green screen effect what I did notice but that feeling faded away over time.
There is however one big negative and that was the last 20/30minutes. Slow paced, little bit boring and dragged on.. I was kinda waiting for the movie to just end. Its a shame because it makes you leave the theaters with a bad taste for a pretty good movie.
Actors were decent, script decent, action decent, green screen decent (but could been better), story line decent (except ending).
All by all 7out of 10.
Hit Man (2023)
Finally a good comedy movie
Well we had some tough comedy movies in the past but this is one is good. It made me think about 'the millers', it has a little bid the same comedy vibe. Just good jokes and even better acting. It just all fits. Not only the lead but also the crew around it.
Besides comedy the movie is also a little bit mysterious. You keep wondering what got the lady to do with it and can she be trusted?
Plot was decent too! Not some unrealistic without idea just to end the movie script.. no it actually fits with the whole movie and is original.
Maybe there was more possible with the teaching scenes on school.. that was sometimes a little bit duff but argh.. i didnt mind it that much.
So yeah.. had some good laughs.. i go wild and give it a 8.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024)
Slow paced, Story Line sucks
Jeeezz do not see this one if you are tired. I liked all planet of the apes movies but this one sucks. Very slow paced, bad story line (it doesnt make sense), many mistakes, poor character development.
Only positive note is good cgi. Something enough other movies lack of! The problem is.. if you have no story you still fall asleep!
How can the water of the sea rise 30meters or more inside the building when the dam was only build 5meters high?..
Fine to me to create a new story line but next time, hire a writer who can actually make up a good story line. A lot of cliches in this one... In the end you just wait for the movie to be over. Oh.. put some humans in this movie. Just watching apes fight each other is borrrring.
Challengers (2024)
Bit long, boring but it had a few moments
Well well well... Not sure what to make of this one. It was just.. arghh.. it could have been a lot better but it just didnt deliver.
Its like two people having a crush on each other but none of the two makes a move.. there is no climax.
There were some okay good scenes.. the beginning and the ending were fine.. but it leads to nothing else or special.
There is no tension or suspense, almost none character build up, its wayyyy to long my gawd the middle peace was quit boring! You dont really care who wins at the big tennis game.. if i think about it.. the tennis was not even that important.
Not that it mattered none of the three characters have showed a real passion or interest in being a tennis player. This is because they just lack the skills to deliver it to the audience. I missed a skilled actor who could have helped the younger leads to deliver a higher performace.
And my lord.. the music.. didnt fit with this movie at all!
Because of the potential still a 6 out of 10.
The Fall Guy (2024)
Creative and never seen before
Fall guy is a creative movie with a script that you didnt saw before what makes it fresh. Both leading actors/actrice have excellent skills and makes a decent expression (what you do not spot in every movie they are in).
They said it is a tribute to 'stunt men' who doesnt get as much credit as the lead but I am not sure if that message also is delivered to the audience. You can better see this movie as a nice non brainer with enough action and decent script to sit through.
The plot doesnt make much sense, sometimes they go a little bit to deep with the story and I am not sure anyone really cares what is happening or will happen. But with a nice snack it is not a problem.
So.. because of the creative story and decent acting a 7 out of 10.
Breathe (2024)
Decent till last 30minutes
Breathe has a decent start, nothing spectaculair or something that will reach the newspaper but a world where human kind is dieing is always a little bit fascinating to me.
And then... Alice from Resident Evil has returned! Now thinking about it.. they can maybe connect these two movies. Anyway.. I still like to see her on the big screens, so +1. Also the father from the child -> great actor.
The script is.. well.. okay.. and the acting is also okay... You can enjoy this movie without thinking to much about everything till a certain point.
That certain point is reached about 30minutes till the end.. rip Allice. At that point everything goes downhill.
Everything gets rushed... The script goes bad, the story line doesnt make sense anymore, the fellow follower guy goes from being helpfull to being the leader/mastermijdn and evil knievel (i mean.. that is some character build up and 180° switch in less then 20seconds).. oh.. and that moment where the woman and child can just walk out of the room without any intervention from the evil knievel.. i mean come on!!! How unnrealistic!! What was the director thinking!! And the mother.. somehow surviving the night without air,, drives back with the car and somehow ends up on a roof where she reunites with the kid??? Anyway, mother was a terrible actrice in the whole movie.
So... Decent start/ middle point. Then.. gets reaaaaly bad. So only a 5 out of 10.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)
Average, long but if your bored its okay
Godzilla X Kong... It was a long sit after all.
Positive: small kong, fights animals, some good jokes from the discord guy (somebody did write it had guardians of galaxy Vibes... It is also not that funny.. however it was fine), the dentist guy had a nice touch to it, a lot happens, the pilot.
Negative; female lead actrice (uch.. awful), the kid, deaf language, bad kong, bad gonzilla, the script (first 30mins awful without any sense or soul), way to much green screen scenes (90%?), the tribe, movie has no soul or purpose, felt like a 3hour movie, whole underworld was a bit cheesy and to perfect.. bring in soms darkness and raw jungle vibes..
Sometimes I wonder why producers can not make a better movie then the orginial king kong from over 30 years ago!!
They should or make this movie way more funnier and focus on humor or make this movie way more darker and raw. Now it is a bit of nothing.
All by all... 5,5.. which makes it a 6.
Civil War (2024)
Average start.. decent finish
First of all, this is more a drama then actuelly a big civil war movie. In the first 90minutes less then 5 people die.
The movie starts slow. I began to question the movie, plot, depth and script. There was no suspense or story goal/ motive. The acting was decent but I began to wonder if the director ever made a war movie before. Besides from some abandoned cars and gunfire there was not much anything else going on. I almost doubted there was any civil war even going around! Where were the big masses of peoples, the army's, the tanks..? Does the United States not have the greatest army.. but it is somewhere hidden..? I just missed a lot of details where a moderate director also could think of. Compare it with war of the worlds or zombieland where you can actually sense and feel something bad happened.
Lucky, in the last 30minutes, it becomes better. The attack on the white House is decent and the shifts between photos and filming is fantastic. The close 1on1 gunfight is with comparison of the rest of the movie, realistic. I watched it with suspense. They have should made that scene just longer and more dramatic.
All by all, 7 out of 10 because of the decent last 30minutes. Still not sure if the first 90minutes was a money issue or just a director issue.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
Old cast saves the movie
Just came back from the theaters. And... Argh... It is oke but also a bit boring. The positive is that the old cast is still gold. The moment Bill Muray is in view the whole energy and chemistry of the movie goes upward. That guy.. he cant do must wrong and still gives you a bright smile. The legend.
The 'firemaster' is prettt decent aswell with some good, average and bad jokes. You accept him as an extra for the ride.
The rest of the old cast is decent.
Now... All the other 'new' actors.. they just cant transfer the energy, chemistry or the ghostbusters vibe towards me. The dialoge is stiff, the acting a little bid 'try to hard' and without a real soul or meaning. Maybe I am a bit nostalic, and they changed their audience target to a younger public? I am afraid if the old cast stops, this whole triology is gonna fall apart if they decide to make another. But i am afraid it wont come to anotherone if I watched the turn up.
What else; GCI didnt make this movie any better. The script had some big malfunctions. The scene of a young girl, all alone, playing chest in a public park, at night, out of nowhere.. I mean come on. How can any professional scriptmaker or director come up with such a unrealistic scène!? The blue ghost? Waste of time.
All by all.. if your really nostalic.. just watch the first movie again at home. Maybe a better evening. If your bored; with a discount you can go.
One Life (2023)
Gets the audience silenced.
Great movie! When the movie ended all the visitors in the cinema had to catch their breathe again. The director of this movie managed to bring out an emotional and hearth warming masterpiece.
Great acting, good story line, still enough suspense and based on real events. Haha it took me a while to notice that the two story lines are based on the same person only that he was now a bit older. But I am sure you will notice that sooner than I did.
After the movie I searched for some real footage of the news event on youtube and there you have some footage of 6 minutes. Feel free to search aswell! Pretty cool to see.
I am more a action movie lover but I was very glad I also went to this one! Dont be doubtfull, just buy your tickers right now! You wont and cant regret it.
The Beekeeper (2024)
Classic Jason Statham
A good none brain thinking action movie. Plenty of things happen during the movie. Good amount of action, story line, acting, build-up time, etc, etc.
Jason Statham, as always, delivers his A-performance. At first I was doubtfull; will it not be a movie that is put togheter in less then 4 weeks? However it has a decent quality. People clearly thought about the story line before shooting it. The extra deepness of the story arround the ''bee-keepers'' instead of just acting the average middle class guy gave it a nice extra touch.
Just buy your snacks and drink and relax a bit! You will have a good easy time!
The Dark Knight (2008)
Still lovely to watch
I have seen the Dark Knight multiple times but still love to see it sometimes when i got nothing to do. The movie is still powerfull and full of suprises. The story line is very good; it has multiple stories that are bend togheter in different stages of the movie. That makes the movie atrractive to watch even if you already have seen it.
There is plenty of action with nice realistic combat scenes. The evil Joker is a solid opponent versus batman. I liked the psychological deepness that is showed in different stages inside the story. That makes the movie als interesting for more intelligent people.
Besides batman and the joker, there are three other major roles. You can almost choose witch character you like the most. But watch out; it can be devastating for you in the end!
All by all a solid 10. You wont see movies like this much these days.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023)
Good for hunger games fan, average for non-fans.
The hunger games; ballad of songbirds & snakes is a desent movie to watch if your a true hunger games fan. However, if you did not watch the first hunger games movies it could be a little bit more boring.
In this hunger games, number 11 i believe, you see the beginning of the rise of president Snow. But thats not what this movie suprised me. It is the detail of how to bring back a old version of the hungers games which still could entertain the audience!
If the special effects and ''ground area'' must be seen as low quality, the story line should be extra strong. There is little doubt that the cast succeeded in this approach. Clearly this has an impact on the true hunger game fans.
That being said.. the actors also gave a pretty decent show away. The only thing what i felt was rushed is the ending. Is President Snow that heartbreaked in the older hungers by a relationship that is less then a year old... i cant really imagine it.. I hope later on there will be a part two with a bigger betray.
All by all; a 7 out of 10.
Napoleon (2023)
Seems like this movie is made for the 4 hours+ version?
The past few months i was highly excitend to see this movie. The trailer looked good, the actors seemed to be choosen well and you got this famous director attached to the movie.
It is generally considered that this can be a succes formula. However, this version which is made for the theaters, could not reach the full 10 stars reward.
The war scenes are perfect; great action, good dialoge, fantastic shots. All by all a masterpiece. On the other hand you have this boring love story. Jeeezzz.. do not feel ashame of you fell asleep. For instance, i did also not feel anny compassion between the ''love birds''. Furthermore, nobody really cared what would happen between the two of them.
Having said that... i believe this movie is made for the apple+ streaming service. There will be a long 4hour version were the scenes and love life should be told with more sense. I also felt that there were some war/actions scenes missing during the movie. So hopefully i could see this later on in life!
All by all; a 7 out of 10.
Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)
Funnier and better then expected
Killers of the flower moon suprised me in a postive way. The trailer kinda spooked me.. it did not really made me enthousiast to watch this. But lucky for me i still went to the theaters!
The good? Funny script (for both sides), great story about the finding of oil, good actors and side actors, realism in what you see as a viewer and the history details, a good amount of action, strong dialoges, good acting, nice landscape views.
The bad? Not really anything! The trailer.. could have been better? Oh it is a long sit but i didnt mind.
So... nice movie! I rate it 8 out of 10. Go and see for yourself.
The Killer (2023)
Little bit boring
The killer is more a drama movie then a action or a thriller movie. The high imdb score kinds suprise me.
The good? Good actor, some nice landscape shots, realisme in the movies, looked like a professional movie.
The bad? Very slow and a too long opening scene, boring script, a lame and boring monologe by the actor, lack off action or something.. anything to happen, bad plot (there is none?).
This actor is not made for this kind of movies. He's far better in science fiction movies or movies where a crew can make up the dialoge and he can shine his acting skills.
I am not a fan. Only a 5 out of 10.
The Exorcist: Believer (2023)
Not great but okey
Saw the exorcist in the theaters. Decent film. Not great. Not super bad. First half of the movie is the best. You have some good build-up in the story line and the acting is oke. But later on.. in the second half of the movie this becomes worse.
The story line is kinda losing out and by that, the suspension drops to a minimum. In the end you just do not realy care anymore what will happen or who will win or die or whatever is it they were going for.
When the story begins where everybody is in the house togheter.. mwah.. the quality of the movie goes down hard.
But.. i still had a good time and had a nice snack with me so all by all; a 5 out of 10.
Saw X (2023)
Bloody hell mate
Just have seen SAW X in the theaters. What a bloody movie! Not gonna lie, i had to take my hands sometimes before my eyes. But... i like the movie. Story line is good. Nice build-up what most horror movies are missing these days. It felt realistic. Second, the lead actor was good. I am not sure if he plays all the jigsaw movies because i did not see them all.
What did suprise me is that the ''victems'' did not had to walk arround some old building but instead they just stayed the whole time in the same room. It was good.. and probely refreshing but i like to see them move arround a bit. But thats probely my personal desire.
Ending was good also. Not really suprising but still decent.
All by all; a nice 7.
The Creator (2023)
Good CGI and... no that was it.
The Creator is one of the few movies that has decent CGI which improves and support the movie. It is cool to see the movie in theaters with a big screen. Next to CGI you have John David Washington. He is an excelent actor and deilvers a decent performance.
However.. the story line is a bit boring, rushed or very slow. Some scenes do not add up with any logic at all and makes you mock the movie. The story does not have a real goal or any meaningfull purpose. It just doesnt make sense logically.
Beside John David Washington, the other actors are a bit boring. Basically; you fall asleep watching them. Why not add someone that could make some jokes or... well.. just anything.. it is just so boring to watch 2hours of the same dialoge!
In one line; the creator is a boring slow movie with no logic but with good CGI and 1 good actor.
A Haunting in Venice (2023)
Hercule Poirot still going strong
Just came back from the theaters where i watched the mastmind Hercule Poirot in his 3th movie. In the last two movies i tried to discover the murderer before the dedective himself solved the case and both times failed. (I have to say; last movie had quite a diffecult plot).
But today... i had a new chance to beat Hercule Poirot. You would say after watching more than 1000 movies you get the hang of it how the audience can be deceived. Sadly... i lost again. So +1 to the director! Props to everyone who did solved the murderer earlier on in the movie.
I liked the theme of this 3th movie. A little bit of horror and more mystery. I honestly thought this would be a different kind of movie than the last two! Actors were great, setting is fantastic (venice.. you cant go wrong?), music is top spot and pace is good.
I loved the ending.. Hercule Poirot brings back light to the dark and mystery story.. and still.. some mystery remains unsolved. But.. somehow.. i like that a little bit is unsolved; a tribute to the real Venice ghosts? Who would know..
So.. get yourself tickets! A solid 8 of 10.
Sisu (2022)
Meet John Wick Finnish cousin
Yesterday i saw Sisu in the movie theaters and it was a decent action movie. Sisu is a little bit like John Wicks Finnisch cousin. A different style but you would notice the same family habbits. One small example; they do not talk a lot.
Sisu is a movie that is made for the audience of men. Brutal kills, flying limbs, over the top survival skills, strong eye looks versus each other, men humor and more. It even has some die-hard vibes. I liked it! Just grab your popcorn or chips, a beer and relax with your brain turned off.
Yes... i know.. if you look closely you could rationalize it is a simple movie that is played in the middle of nowhere with just 20 actors. But dont do that!! Thats my free advice of today. With a 6million budget they did an excelent job and made a better movie compared with some other 100million budget films!
But what will happen when Sisu meets John Wick...? That would be epic.
The Equalizer 3 (2023)
Best of the three
Just came back from the movie theaters; i loved it. The equalizer 3 has a subtle approach. The pace is not very fast but it never gets doll. Instead, you will floath allong with the main character Robert McCall (Played by Denzel Washington) in a lovely italian small city. The setting of this Italian small city is fantastic. You can feel the Italian vibe, the cozyness, the warmth and the simpleness of life where the whole village is one family.
Maybe because i also have watched the other two parts and Robert McCall is for me a knowable character; i didnt mind the slow build-up before some action arrived. Instead you get to see more of the other side of his character which is great otherwise it would have been more a repeat of the first two parts. In this way you are more ''grabbed'' by the filmmakers and feel more connected with the ending of this trilogy. Because i dont know about you guys, but i left the movie theater with a smile after the last scene. I cant remember much movie trilogies with a ending thats feels so satisfying like the Equalizer 3 gave me.
The action (there is still plenty of it) is good. It felt a little bit like John Wick but somehow also not. I love action shooters movie but believe the film makers did the right thing by not implenting to much over the top violence and shootings. In my eyes it would have disrubted the balance of the movie. Now.. the balance is just perfect and the main focus stays on the story line.
Last but not least; i even laughed sometimes during the movie. But maybe not everyone will catch the same vibe as i did. In the end a solid 8 out of 10.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023)
Halloween trilogie meets Pirates of the Caribbean
Better movie then expected. It is like the halloween trilogie with Micheal Myers meets Pirates of the caribbean. You get the best of both worlds! The cast is good. They just fit inside this movie. Very nice shots of the boat and more suspense and horror then you might will expect. Also the scene with the fire.. how cool was that? And it was very realistic! But i wont spoil to much!
Story line is good. The day to night scenes still works good. It gives the audience time to catch a breath before the next night will arrive.. so credits to the director.
Could it have been better? Maybe with just a little bit more crew members? And maybe a small different apereance of the vampire. But still great!
Oppenheimer (2023)
Fast paced with suspense
Oppenheimer is a fantastic movie that keeps you alert in suspense from the start to the very end. Great cast, great story lines, great setting and nicely shot. It is about the making of the bom that will end world war 2 and the effects it had on the world and personally on the maker, oppenheimer.
Very interesting how the perspective is told from the view of scienists and of politics and people in charge.
It is a real thriller. It keeps you every minute alive; you want to know how it will end. The same effect you have with good books. It gives also some knowledge in what went going on during world war 2 beside all the killing what is told many times in other movies.
Cobweb (2023)
Decent horror movie
Just saw Cobweb, turned out as a decent horror movie. Very good story line and it has good suspense especially in the first half of the movie. Thats also maybe the biggest flaw, it pieks a little bit to early on. The final scene could have had a little more suspense with a slight different aproach. The ending was pretty fast wraped up. I am not sure if they wanted a open ending or they ran out of money or ideas. However, movie is still great! I am not a typicall horror fan but i enjoyed it. It is not that long also, so you have not much to lose!
Ps; why do people talk more often in movie theaters when they are showing horror movies...
