 My Movie Review Thread V3, Got a movie to review ? post it here !

Veteran director Martin Scorsese recently criticised review aggregator websites for pushing the idea that "every image is there to be instantly judged and dismissed without giving audiences time to see it." Do reviews online reduce value of cine

Captain America : Berani Kerana Benar Brave New World
Apa yg gua sukak sama yini filem, manyak ngam if you've just finished watching Eternals.
Overall very, and I do mean VERY, try-hard by Disney/Marvel to sell Sam Wilson as Captain America, Anthony Mackie is quite literally trying his best.
Plot was meh, they tried to go the suspense/espionage route throwing some action here and there but doesn't quite stick - plenty of missed chances by underutilized actors/characters.
CGI pun adoi..at least SLIGHTLY better than SONY punya la, but still, what is happening weyh...
The dialogues pun no rasa, I mean, the words said are meant to provoke emotion/inspire but they can't deliver no matter how many times they tried (at least for me) sweat.gif
Pretty disappointing outing for Karpman(the film composer) too, tarak ooomph sia shakehead.gif
Just another film they dished out in order to build up to the next Avengers, if they ever do get there *ahem* KANG the KONK'ed-error404 not found lol.gif

so.. yeah..hope all is well for them in rl icon_rolleyes.gif


well, with the hype going on with NeZha 2, thought I'd go check out the first one, 2019's NeZha
I mean, this itself is quite a statement for animation from China, even the company(ies) intros before the film were quite something, different yet interesting laugh.gif
kinda went into this with some "Journey to the West" plot kind of expectation but altho similar in some aspects, it is its own thing. Kids would enjoy it, slapstick comedy and dialogues, music is certainly refreshing (that chinese orchestra version of Bard Fiedel's terminator theme tho lol.gif )
Mind you, this is the 2019 Nezha, so the bar is certainly set for NeZha2 and it seems they not only hit the mark but surpassed it as well - definitely looking forward to catching it soon thumbsup.gif


And then there's Netflix's THE Electric State
IDK what is going on, but you kind of get a feeling the Russo brothers, Feige and Marvel casts are all so intertwined with one another, to the point everything they touch becomes so repetitive? familiar? copypasta? sweat.gif
This film has TOO MUCH avenger-ish vibes. I swear even the composer was recycling Endgame's music into it, legit! I mean, that climax "battle" - good lord, 100% recycled stuff rclxub.gif
Anthony Mackie and G.Esposito, again?! Really? C'mon! It might just be me, but re-using the same people and other similar elements so quickly back-to-back, very lethargic - macam dah kebas.
But I do like the idea of the film, which was adapted from a novel - so yea, the movie isn't my cup of tea, but I'll be grabbing the graphic novel!

I thought Russos will go different direction but dam i was wrong hahahaha

The Gosling vs Evans spy chase was quite a decent Russos flick but this one massive downgrade hohohoho

Long time no post....

Mickey 17 - I believe this is BJH weaker output. It's very similar to Okja, it's just got more Sci-fi. I do like Robert Pattinson's role as the lovable idiot. Just a tad underwhelming.
Novocaine - Bland and forgettable.
Anora - Manage to watch this right before Oscar. Mikey Madison deserve the win. I am floored by her performance. Pretty Woman meets Uncut Gems.
Batman Ninja vs Yakuza League - The movie is as dumb as the title. I love the reimagining of JL in the anime aesthetic with very flashy design and animation. Shut off your brain and stop questioning the nonsense plot.

Hope The Accountant 2, F1, Ballerina can lift the dry spell of good movies.

Don't go thinking this is Mr and Mrs Smith, tonally this is closer to David Fincher's The Killer. So lotsa drama scenes but perfectly executed by the sleek pairing of Fassbender and Blanchett. It's confident and a rather satisfying 3rd act. Again this is an adult spy drama and not some mission impossible rip-off.

What's up with the sudden surge of prestige spy thriller? Eddie Redmayne did Days of the Jackal, Fassbender's The Agency and Black Bag. Now this.

The selling point is pitting the against type characterization. So you have the techie nerd slowly morphing to a competent killer in rooting out the cover-ups and of course his vengeance on his wife's killers. Initially I write off this movie is any good until I saw the impressive cast list. It's a lot better than I expected. This is not a gun toting and boom-boom type of action movie.

I'm not that hot about this. Granted they are trying something new but it didn't click for me. The way the vampire depicted remind me of American Vampire comic books. I did appreciate the black culture and nice use of that era music. Do look out a for a very impressive music performance.

Neanderthal can skip this as it will be too woke for your ass backwards taste.

Please watch this so it can become a franchise. The witty banter between Berthal and Affleck is very engaging. There are some literal funny sequence involving them bickering. The plot has enough depth to keep things moving and like John Wick it reveal little more how the accountant network come to be.

Haha i also watched Amateur already Also starring JB inside but as the bad guy😄😆

As much as i liked explosive action but Rami Malek being the nerd suits his style as geek who kills without the killer instinct laugh.gif laugh.gif

Sounds exactly like old school avenging wife killer vigilante except with more political layering sub plots🔥🔥

Do i want 2 watch it again like other action movies Hell no But for first viewing worth the money hahahaha

This one just drop on Prime. It's a shame didn't get to watch this on big screen. Not surprise if this nabbed Oscar for best sound design. Again lower your expectations as you are not watching glorified version of Hollywood war movie. No swelling score and super expensive slo-mo cgi battle scenes.

It's all hyper realistic and PTSD inducing moments. This movie literally show you the intense brutality and nobody wins messaging. When the shit hits the fan, clever use of sound design and the constant screaming of downed soldiers really pushing you over the edge. Then you have the let's fuck shit up finale to drive home the absurdity. It's the most effective anti-war movie in recent years.
