Madame Web (2024)
Fast Sell Goes Wrong
Script seems like a rushed draft made to prepare the sell of a sequel saga, something like the spider-girls X-Men, with its own Teacher X, wheelchair and all.
There's no love in the making. There are too many characters to introduce and zero character development. There were too many accidents to force the plot in some forced direction and zero causality to made all that into a logical and necessary concatenation. Like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles prequel made just to introduce the product, a known product, so, a pure formality. Because, nobody cares...
Sad, 'cause first half hour is entertaining, and the casting ain't that bad. Dakota is fine, etc. But the lack of interest and respect for the whole concept was an original production sin impossible to force into a film format.
Indeed it looks like the "zero" episode of a TV-series. Not a good one, but in that case maybe an excusable one, provided that the series went far better.
Money grab is a waste of audiences time.
The Marvels (2023)
A mini series recicled?
It seems like it was conceived from script to filming as a mini series and then they had to convert it to a feature film for some reason and so they do a pretty terrible but unavoidably doomed work at the edition room and that's what you sadly see, a lot of material undeveloped and compressed in a production/budget/tone level sensible for a series but not for a theater. Maybe they even did it on purpose so at least some audience were able to realize that this was not the story they were initially payed to tell. That would explain the constant impression of an unfinished draft. Who knows. Also, it requires from you to have seen the related series previously in order to not be utterly lost in the many characters stories.
Being 97 (2018)
Necessary
Such a necessary work. Both for the subject and for the way it was done.
Also, the subject was treated in a realistic and intelligent fashion, not only because of the style of the filming/directing, but because of the nature/characteristics of the protagonist.
Really necessary, in a world full of noise, nonsense, and utter distraction.
It's a short. Take a view. Life also is extremely short.
Bringing Up Bobby (2011)
How can anyone do a movie with such awful, negative, monstrous message?
I couldn't believe it, so I eat it all up till the end and yes, that's the message. So, the story go something like this: If you're a single, poor mother with problems and a kid, your only choice, the only thing that can fix your life and your son's life is to find a marriage of rich people who want to take it out from you, because, you know, the only thing that matters is money, so, as the real value of the people is about how rich they are -because, remember, the only thing that matters is money and the life that money can buy you-, no low-social-economical-extraction people can fight or find any solution, that means, if you're poor, you lose, and the rich people are the best, because -please don't forget this-, money is the only issue that matters. C'mon! What's the problem with you, Famke! Better keep acting -or whatever. Gee!
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
Garbage (isn't just a band...)
Only for lobotomized guys, or American kids unable to distinguish between a film and a poor script-less shoot 'em up.
Also for anyone blind enough to doesn't seen the permanent pro-war, pro-American-imperialism message inherent to the whole thing...
This piece of crap will make puke to anyone with some taste, just for the grotesque waste of money and production in order to bore you for almost 3 hours with stupid jokes and a "story" that you can tell (and for what) in nearly 20 low quality minutes of your time...
What are saying to us this kind of movies about Hollywood or the American culture, or about the average American citizen/consumer?
