Uncut Gems (2019)
Masterpiece
Sometimes you don't got to review a movie to much. I really loved it. My sister didn't like it as much but she thought it was good. I think its a masterpiece. Not that many good movies out there, I say its a must watch it if your willing to read a review about it.
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Whack
Whack movie for kids, completely ruin the lore and use the old story to give this new story legitimacy but destroy the old characters in the process. Just should have made a new trilogy based on new material. They got caught in the middle ground and pissed everyone off. Very short sighted leadership idk how these people get into positions of power.
The Witcher (2019)
Epic and terrible at the same time
So I loved this series and I cant wait for season 2, and I'll probably watch it again before its released. But it has a bit of "tv show" vibes a lot of the times. The dialogues and drawn out talking scenes, where nothing is happening.that's the pace of the daytime tv dramas and i hate that effect, it is very overwhelming and boring. After the first episode I couldnt watch it anymore. I love fantasy and lore, but the first episode just felt such like a soap opera. So, what i did was turn the language to german, and use subtitles. That helped with the soap opera feel alot, and made it into a german fantasy show, which enhanced the dialogue, because i couldn't tell if it was cheesy or not, it was just like reading a story. Now I would rate it a 10, but I still feel the episodes are to long 60 full minutes i think. The lore is great the over arching story is epic, everything is actually really great if you can manage to get through all 8 episodes. But i have to -2 points for the drawn out scenes where they talk a lot but not like game of thrones where its intrigue and crazy whispers, no its just slow pacing for every scene, getting to know this guy, getting to know those guys. But they aren't even important characters in the end and I would prefer them to talk faster and shorten the scenes and make it a 45-50 min episode length. That would help to get the great story out faster to the viewers, and keep them around to watch every episode, because once they do finish the season, I think everyone will agree it is a great fantasy genre show, and I am so excited for season 2 now. epic story. Epic characters also, all 3 main characters did great, and made those characters interesting unique and everyone should watch the show just to see the rest of these 3 main characters stories.
Knives Out (2019)
Not a who-done-it and typical stuff but enjoyable as a movie
1. It is entertaining I liked it.
2. Its not like Clue where everyone is a suspect and your guessing who the real culprit is.
3. The plot and motives are very unclear for the central characters in the movie. Some people are "bad" for no good reason...some are "good" for no good reason....
4. typical stuff, as a "minority" its so annoying and exhausting that our only identity is related to your guilt...
Doragon Bôru Sûpâ Burorî (2018)
Almost Amazing
Best story so far but unfortunatly only in the first third of the movie. Then it becomes just a typical fight for the rest of the movie. Luckily the fighting was the coolest i have seen from dragon ball. really epic fight animations. absolutely beautiful. But it was never that serious and the story never continued during the fighting. they just got the fighting over with and then had a mini ending. Thats why i only rate it 8 stars. I wish while they were fighting the story actually continued and was like a drama movie or something. but it was like okay the story got us to the fight scene, now we will have a couple epic fights but then the movie is basically over. the end characters including freeza and vegeta, didnt match the the story telling of those characters in the first 3rd of the movie. In the end freeza didnt even fight for real and was used like a side guy like yamcha. Maybe he is a side guy, but he doesnt know it! He should have been a little more angry or promising goku that he would get vengeance when he gets stronger or something. In the end he kind of like had this "its cool, im a side character" kind of vibe to him. maybe the movie needed 30 more min.
The Lion King (2019)
no emotion like others said
There is no emotion in this movie. I saw the original after this live action version and its a big difference. the movie was decent as a movie goes, but its just no where near as fun or colerful as the original. It was just a bland remake with all the good jokes and colerful parts cut out. Its way to serious, and the rest is a copy of the same scenes. so overall garbage money grab. I dont mind remakes, but people are going in the hopes to see some artist interpretation, art. like change the ending a little add some after story, put your own art on a classic and add to it. dont just substract a few things so its different and then add some realism graphics, and think thats an acceptable movie.
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
terrible
Terrible, to much to complain about, jon snow got bullied by greyworm to the north. tyrion and sansa bullied greyworm and unsullied out of kings landing? danny got bullied by everyone on earth. I wasnt even a danny fan, now i love her. she got bulied by these writers, she desereved a logical end. everyone deserved more. brian of tarth got turned into the girl next door love story, what? what is this show anymore no one knows. cercie. dont even get me started on my queen. she sat this one out. Bran ruined the three eyed raven arc, by having zero lore. they ruined the night king arc and made it not that important in the end and had zero lore. Then Bran went back to kings landing and ruined the House arc, by having no houses on the throne? lannister baratheon martell tyrel stark targaryean all that was pointless, I cant believe they destroyed the whole point of the show.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Weak
Im a very critical movie watcher, so if you are not prepared for nitpicking than please understand my review might not be for you. I enjoyed the movie very much, now lets get to the juicy things I wish the movie had done instead. I know its a Disney movie but that doesn't stop me from wanting to see the most epic comic book movie in history if they changed a few things.
1. Thanos never kills anyone(besides loki *maybe*) A. SOME people died in this movie (black widow, Iron Man) but they died from heroic sacrifice. Not from Thanos's power. B. I wanted to see Thanos kill Iron man, or Thor, or Any major character. After the movie 3-5 people should have been dead and your like, What now? But instead almost everyone is alive and you can already see the next movies coming out soon. C. In Infinty War Thanos was the biggest baddest guy in the universe, In this movie the avengers are fighting a new Thanos that isnt even that bad ass or cool or anything, thats why he should have killed someone on the battle field like Captain America. To show the strenght and might and danger of Thanos. I like Capstain America's happy ending, but I would have liked it even more if he died to Thanos and Hulk or Thor got revenge, which leads to point 2.
2. Thor, Hulk, Capetian America, Iron man, Captain Marvel, or Someone should have killed Thanos in battle on the battle field. Imagine if Captain America died by Thanos hands, and HULK goes into a rage and kills Thanos. Then they take the glove off of his and and do the snap. Then Hulk would be a legend and that would be part of the history forever. Hulk Thanos killer, or Thor the Asgaurd god who killed Thanos. 2A. Instead legends like Thor and Hulk are reduced to side comic characters like the antler Gaurdian of the galaxy lady and rocket racoon. Thor even leaves at the end with the Racoon and Gaurdians, and seems to join their crew and set up for the next comedy action movie..... which is funny and great. But I would have preferred the fighter warrior Thor. The Thor that opened a sun onto himself to reforge his hammer. What the heck happened to the Thor who almost killed Thanos In Infinity war? why did we get this comedy relief fat Thor. Yes he is really funny. But I would have preferred him to fight toe to toe with Thanos, instead of make a few jokes. 2B. HULK got the same treatment as a comic/clown. He can kill Thanos. Hulk literally never got mad and angry and started smashing people. He never smashed Thanos or fought him at all in this movie.
3. To many emotional scenes, Hawkeye walking his dog...etc. Tony Stark doing a pov youtube video documentary about if he wants to fight or not. These are the greatest fighters in history in the greatest fight against their greatest enemy. Show some more fight scenes. Show some intensity and tension. They went back in time so easy and got the stones so easy as they are cracking jokes. Black widow soul gem scene was good, but they still needed some fight scenes. Someone should have died to retrieve one of the stones. or should have got stuck in time or something.
4.Fake gauntlet. Why did Thanos go to the Asgard holy weapon site to make that gauntlet, the only thing that can hold the infinity stones, if iron man can just hold the stones on his robot arm. I thought the Gauntlet was special and magical. I dont like that scene at all. Why couldn't someone just kill Thanos and then they use the gauntlet to snap after they pull it off his dead hand. They wanted it to be more tense, but it just created a plot hole and just breaks the reality and power of the gauntlet and the stones and all of the lore.
5. So my main gripe with the movie even though I enjoyed it for funs sake, was that no real consequences happened. Only Theoretical consequences people sacrificing themselves for the greater good etc boring storyline. I wanted Thanos the biggest bad guy in comic books, to have done something of weight. In the end he did nothing. He should have killed Iron man. He should have killed Captain America or Thor, or Scarlett witch or all three of them. His plan got completely foiled and he personally did no damage. weak. Thanos is weak, he couldn't kill one measly earth defender.
6, Captain marvel flying around for no reason doing no damage, weak.
Infinity war had more tension, more fights, and more deaths in battle. I am highly disappointed from this great movie. Highly Dissapointing Great Movie
The Big Sick (2017)
same old Indie movie empty drama
Non-Spoiler: This movie started out alright, kind of funny and gives you the curiosity to see where its gonna go. But about half way through it turns into the same old indie move with phony drama. Now most people obviously like it so I say you should try it for yourself. But if you don't like indie movies in general, especially in the romance department then I don't think you will like this movie.I especially didn't like how the Pakistani family was like the biggest stereotype ever, with zero heart or personality. Like the bad guys out of a Disney movie. And the white parents are like the coolest bravest lion angels in history. I think that could be why a lot of the American audience liked the movie because they wouldn't get turned off by those types of stereotypes. I am curious how Pakistani people rated it. But that was just a small gripe. Why I really didn't enjoy it is in the title, and a little more detailed in the spoiler section.
Spoilers: I hated it because the second half is all about drama and it brings families together and is used as the main plot device (cancer), and its supposed to be heroic and cute and all that but not for me. The drama is so typical and boring and the ending is so typical and boring, I think you will not like this movie very much if you watch a lot of movies. If you casually watch movies it could be a great one to try with the family. The reason I give it 4 stars is because if at the end of a movie after watching all this drama and sadness and "love" and i don't feel anything at all, then it wasn't very good at doing its job. In my opinion it is just rehashing the same old stories with an indie twist and a Pakistani twist, and for me that is not good enough at all. So if you are like me and Indie movies are really hit or miss, I would go into this one with cautious expectations.
Brooklyn (2015)
made me cry
if a movie can make you cry and make you feel certain things inside then its good enough. No reason not to be a ten because it did its job of being entertaining and touching. Nice incite into the immigration story from an Irish perspective. The actors are good, the story is good. It is kind of straight forward but also kind of realistic without to much exaggeration. The later parts of the movie did feel a bit rushed, it could have been better if there were more scenes and growth in the second half but overall you get the point of the movie and it wraps up nicely. Its better to perhaps watch this movie in the daytime, rather than at night.
Rick and Morty (2013)
Genius
Its just genius. I love the characters, I love Rick. Takes you on an adventure to new ideas and thoughts. My favorite show, I hope it has 15 seasons, but I can already see it will be hard to have new ideas for shows. I like that its comedy and philosophy in one.
I have to do ten lines, so here is a show idea feel free to steal it creators. Rick and morty are in prison. the captives are gigantic, and cant see a little hole in the prison because to them its nano size. and rick needs morty to man up and sneak out(because he is small enough to fit), and steal a space ship, fly up to the mother ship, infiltrate the computers and destroy the motherships engines and open ricks door(the mothership controls the prison). but morty cant open any other doors because the prison is filled with murderers who would kill them if they got out. this is impossible for morty but rick tells him hes really a genius like rick, and rick needs his help. so morty completes this task(fill in adventure) and at the end they are on a beach looking into each others eyes and rick is like " your the best morty, burp, my best friend. I couldn't make it without morty. but then morty wakes up and its a dream lol.
Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)
A Very Fun Adventure Film That is Barely Star Wars
This movie was very enjoyable and fun, so i will give it credit there.
Spoilers now.
The #1 reason I love Star Wars is because they treated the "bad guys" with respect. Thats why you can choose sides, "empire" or "rebels", "light" or "dark". Both sides were legitimate. This movie just crushed the "bad guys" and made them into stereotypical bad guys like every other movie in the history of movies. That is why this is no longer a Star Wars movie.
How can an untrained Jedi defeat a trained "dark force user" after only learning about the force like a week before hand.
Why is a light saber yielding "dark force user" crying like a teenager with anger issues all movie? This guy is on the "DARK SIDE"??? Where is the ORDER AND DISCIPLINE??? Why is the "Dark side MASTER" a big rat sitting in a chair??? Why is the First Order so comically like the nazi's??? comical?? Stereotypical??? Where is the respect for the "dark side" of the force? Where is the balance?? This is not a Star Wars movie, it is a good adventure movie.
But I am honestly a little sad that I don't get to enjoy the new series like you rebel supporters (they were cool and fun). But for the idea of the dark side. Its finished. It died with LORD VADER and the EMPEROR. Heck even Yoda and Ben are disappointed with how minimally they treated the force like you can just pick up a light saber and mess around. How about some training, hard work, fear.
Where is the RESPECT. Where is the PHILOSOPHY. Where is the POWER.
Grand comme le Baobab (2012)
Best movie I have seen in a long time
I am Eritrean-American and my dad and I love to watch things from Africa. We usually tour African Capital cities through YouTube. Now I wanted to put on an African movie because it is one of the few movies he would be willing to watch. He is not a Batman fan. He calls those types of movies, "exaggeration". lol that is the point. That being said, I found this movie through a Google recommendation and I just finished watching it. Let me just tell you why I love this movie. First, the people are real. I cannot believe I just watched a movie with real genuine people and it was in a film set in Africa (usually the most stereotyped people). I felt like these people were the decedents of the herders who came thousands of years before them. I was so happy to see these people and to love them in this movie. A good example of this was the brother who was calm, cared about his sisters, and had a soft voice. I was happy to see a real human being. Usually the black male is portrayed as loud, aggressive, and dominant. It also shows that Africa is a big continent, and every culture is different. Some loud some more quite. Even my dad noticed how the family spoke to each other while eating lunch "Look, they are speaking calm, they don't yell like us" The second thing I loved about this movie was the main character. The older sister. She was amazing. I don't know how to put it into words, but she was the star. I felt a lot of real emotion in this movie. It was so real, just perfect, no fake nonsense or extra made up drama, no twists and turns, just the love and problems of a family living in a traditional society.
Reprise (2006)
I did not like it, here is why
I like movies, I like new movies, I like not afraid to watch a different movie, also I saw the whole movie. Now, why did I not like this movie? For me, there was no point. There was no beginning or end. No story. Just some character development which was OK, the characters seemed interesting. I like that it was in Norway, I like to see how foreign people talk and act. But besides that, i got nothing from this film. It was to choppy and didn't flow very well. People make fun of me for liking "boring" "deep" "drama" type movies but....This movie was actually boring. It touched on a few things like love, and depression/suicide. But on a very shallow level, just a slight touch. Not enough to feel the depression or love ourselves. I do not mind watching movies that have a slow pace, but they have to pay off with some substance, and this movie made me regret even watching it. I usually always say a movie was "ok" but this one was not. I will still watch Oslo 31 august, to visit Norway again, but Reprise was simply to boring and not impact-full enough.
