Stranger Things: Chapter Nine: The Piggyback (2022)
Underwhelming and stretched
Why did they even created a volume 2?
They ended volume 1 with such an incredible episode and then just lost it.
The last episode is too stretched and just felt so disconnected, so little action and so much drama. In the end I felt they just left too much for next season and undercooked this one.
Dexter: A Little Reflection (2013)
Holy God this was nuts.
A little reflection, well dig into the episode and you will find the relevance of the title. Well the last episode for me was very slow, seemed like nothing is happening and for much of the episode they created a string and boom a firecracker burst. Yeah wait for the last scene and you going to jump. Not giving any spoilers here, the episode opens a little more trouble for Dexter and Deb. Dexter chases Hamilton, does he succeed i am not sure u got to watch for yourself. Have to say Vogel took a leaf out of Inception and planted an idea in Dexter mind. Deb troubles continues, less scary ones. Sergeant race is almost over as you may have seen in the episode preview but is it really over. And we have a daddy son moment too, a reflection.
House of Cards (2013)
Absorbing, cant wait for more
Just finished watching Season 1 and man i want more. Wow. This is a brilliant drama. It is "Game of thrones" of modern age. Let us start with the plot, an intense political drama where you will watch every dirty game being played to gain power. It is more than that, also about how a personal life of a politician hangs on a very delicate edge. There are no friends; there are no enemies, only opportunities to climb on. Kevin Spacey at his very best, the way he has played his part is absolute treat. I am still not able to decide if he is the good or the bad man. Direction, screenplay superb and the way Kevin communicate with us is a piece of cheery, no boundaries between. There is Dexter who communicates in the background voice and here is Underwood who speaks directly to us, both very effective. Just go for it, sit back and enjoy the mystery, puzzles, betrayal, hate and everything of politics of modern age.
The Expendables 2 (2012)
A waste of heavy resources.
Working in an IT company I feel a lot of times that my company is paying the senior guys too much and they don't deserve that much of salary for their work. I feel the same watching Expendables 2. What is the use of Arnold, Willis when you have to use them for 5 minute of total bombshell crap? Expendables 2 starts promisingly, the excitement is back as the team go on full Rampage to save a Chinese someone that doesn't mattered for the rest of the movie. Big combat trucks are thrown at us and Lee (Statham) is taking shots from his machine gun as we remember in Rambo 4, full bloody hell. They save Chinese and also Arnold, who was trapped there. Bill the Kid (Hemsworth), a very sharp Sniper is introduced then who helps the Expendables escaping a giant water rush after saving the Chinese. And from here they are in there usual plane with Barney as t heir pilot, Jet Lee is gone after an initial burst and never returns in the movie. So his fans don't go for the movie. Church comes into picture, yes Mr. Willis looks good on screen but there is nothing he is supposed to be doing in this movie. Expendables have a new assignment and they are screwed, Bill gets killed, Barney is back in his emotional revenge mood. Lee gets someone to screw like Steve Austin in 1st part. Maggie, yes we have a female character too, who doesn't impress you. Boom bang next. Yes it was worth a wait I would say as the full team go on hunting the bad guys. This movie is not a modern day tech war James bond movie with lot of gadgets and all. It's an old school movie of bullets and knives and combat skills and tanks and choppers and blood. Don't go looking for a plot, forget story and enjoy all these big heavyweights together fighting, who knows till when we are seeing them as they rightly said in last "We three should be in museum".
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
Amazing Spiderman- Not so amazing
This review contains some spoilers.
The most anticipated movie of summer just behind "The Dark Knight Rises" amazes but in patches. Spider-Man is back and this time he is cuter, smarter and meaner. The biggest challenge for the makers was to bring out a movie which was different from the old Spider-man and I guess they failed.
The whole movie you feel you have been here. They start with Peter's parents leaving him to his uncle and aunt and never coming back. The poor kid grows into a very bright student, a boy who loves photography, is good at heart and got some beating by fellow mate. He turns into Spidey enjoys his skills, watches his uncle die because of him, fights a monster to save the city, and then sacrifice his love.
Peter Parker gets clue about his father work and he tries to track his former partner a biochemical scientist, a man who has lost his right arm and from years is trying to find the formula for regeneration of cells.
His encounter was Spider was more dramatic and satisfying. And what transpired was enjoyable. The kid flexes his muscles, enjoys his skate rides, beats people by mistake in train, humiliate his college mate. And he gets the girl.
Andrew Garfield is a good successor of Tobey, he does justice to his character and Emma Stone definitely scores bigger than Kirsten. The web Peter casts in the movie to swing and attack is artificial. He made a device and attach to his wrists to get it going. That was on thing in movie I guess that was unexpected, the other one was how easily his identity has been disclosed to his girlfriend Gwen.
The normal routine starts as Peter handles his father's algorithm to his former partner just to watch him turn into a monster. Finally the movie begins.
The last hour of movie gives you everything you came from. Most of it you have seen in trailers though. 3D has made this movie enjoyable in the last half. The Spiderman looks amazing in 3D as he swings from building to building in NYC. And like every time he saves the city from the havoc of monster.
And in the Spiderman tricks they have used his web to great use. He uses his both hands webs and sticks it to something and turns them into Slingshot various times, the fall of Oscorp building in 3D was awesome.
The movie scores big in visual graphics, but scores poor in storyline. The cop father of the girl is a wasted character until he made Spiderman promise not to date his girl. Irfaan khan is not used at all, maybe we can see him in the next installment as we know it will come from the credits at the end. The bad guy is not much intimidating. The whole movie was termed to be Spiderman looking for his parent's clue and he came no close. They have saved it for the next part or who knows for the 3rd part.
Go and enjoy a nice ride in 3D, but you won't come back with any new memories of spider man.
