RoboCop 2 (1990)
Awful sequel to a great movie.
To be honest, I love action and sci-fi and nerd movies and in my childhood Robocop was my one of my fave movies. To this date I remembered that Robocop 2 was good also and rented both.
This movie makes 3 big mistakes. Firstly action with hilarious comic style does not work. You need comic characters for that. Bad actors like major is a joke, robocops handy girl has bad scenes that make her a joke and all and all the whole movie does not take Robocop as a serious movie at all. I found it weird that there is even childish CGI which of original movie was not affected at all and in same time it makes you think what happened to producers after first film? What was they thinking? To me it gave me one thing as I wanted to see after first one. Robocop needed to suffer and then comeback as a hero. But how they did it was comic and failed. It gave me thoughts like did some woman in some meeting suggest one catchy side story of Robocop fooling around with make peace not war attitude. I would of done it so that the woman repairer would had some more serious disagreement with Bad guys and then help robocop to repair it self. I would wanted to see some resistance to elders there but, no lets make it want to smoke weed.
Another big issue were, why did they continue to make horrible looking robocops when they had far superior model all ready created. Why they made so childish machines after first one? So much issues in this movie.
All and all I find my self so bored that cannot even watch Robocop 3 after this one. I would rate this B or even C-movie.
For Robocop suffering and opening theme 3/10.
Jadesoturi (2006)
Well made movie from Finland at last
First of all, I don't know any fools that taught this movie to be action movie in Finland, so this one Finnish guys made me post this message.
First of all in academic way of thinking, these Finnish lyrics was great, although to abroad people it may sound something else than great, and yeah to English the best word would be "shallow". To my taught, mandarin was well spoken in my ears by Eronen, but once again Chinese may think other ways. Story line was great, although now Chinese would say that this story is THE MOST common story in China, but I would say that Kalevala is also very common story or "folk tale" in Finland. I really enjoyed this overwhelming spiritual movie, which kind of do not often come from Hollywood. I would say to these people who look budgets, that make your storyline worth the budget and maybe the movie would then be a good one. To think what kind of a wow effect this movie made to me, I would say that this is the most best Hollywood movie ever, although it is a "Finwood" movie with very good cost/get ratio. Last good ratio movie from Hollywood was Braindead I think.
These few action scenes was well made without going "overboard". I did specially like the scene where hero sliced the head of. To me that is a beautiful scene where the folk tales made their best out. Yet to remember that kalevala is not Hollywood action epic and by reading it should help most the viewers to understand most of the happenings. Chinese story was very new to me and after that said, a beautiful Chinese story.
Anyway, sound was excellent although to me the end credits rock song made my wow go away, but this movie will definitely be the most talked movie this year.
