Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
I don't get it......
Why does everybody turn this movie down?
Yes it is no perfect movie, yes there are some big flaws to it but in comparison to the last star trek like garbage I felt at least some star wars spirit again.
I'm no Disney Bot and I really ask you: Of all the new films, which one do you like best?
The "whole planet is a weapon" garbage with one of the poorest acting I have ever seen and killing my all time hero Han Solo? I will never forgive the writers this bullshit....
Or "I show you all but die anyway" last Jedi?
I don't want to even mention "Rogue One".....
For me SOLO is the best despite not perfect (but who is and we have anyway very high expectations as hardcore fans) Star Wars movie in a long time.....
I saw it now two times and it is really hard for me to understand the very harsh critic on it - 1 star? Really? Then the other parts would need to get minus stars....
3% (2016)
Worth a try....
I was looking for some entertaining series and accidentally stumbled over this one.
To be honest, not everything pleased me - partly the acting, partly some of the ideas.
But overall I found it very entertaining and the main idea is better than expected - as it first seems like a cheap Hunger Games copy but I found the characters more interesting and versatile here.
I'm looking forward to season 2.
Kuma (2012)
Very interesting
I rated this movie that high because it really gives an intimate view into a partial integrated Turkish family living in Vienna.
For me such a movie is so precious because I have the feeling that it can help to get a better understanding of a foreign culture in a time of right wing gain of influence everywhere in Europe.
I'm living in Vienna too and the amount of immigrants is on the rise and I often feel threaded by it myself.
Such movies help to open the eyes that they are also no more but simply humans which helps to break up the abstract idea we have about strangers without any clue what or who they really are.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not fond of the (in my eyes) medieval approach of the conservative Turkish-Islamic culture despite it is one of the most progressive in the Islamic world.
On the other hand I'm a bit jealous of the family quality while it got nearly lost in our modern western culture.
But one must keep in mind that their model is carried mostly on the shoulders of the female part of the family (like it was before in the Christian culture in the past).
To get back: It opens a view into their live and encourages the understanding of their culture which is a very important contribution in our "I fear the unknown" world.
Riddick (2013)
Great movie??? What a joke....
I don't know where to start. I had no great expectations but even these were smashed to pieces.
Vin as Riddick is cool. Point. That was the positive part.
The rest of the so called actors are most of the time ridiculous. But maybe it is because of the real flat storyline and the dump dialogs so it is not their fault they could not give more...
A furry big eyed cuddly toy? Wtf. What for? My girlfriend? Yes she smiled... me too... but honestly: Is that really suitable for a Riddick film?
I thought Disney also grabbed the rights for Riddick now after Star Wars. One of the worst scene is the one the 'dog' dies. The fight prior to it.. so cheap.
I don't want to go into details, I just can't believe that some fanboys give it a ten as 'great movie'.
Low budget as excuse??? Have a look at 'District 9' or 'Dredd' which had a similar budget and were much better.
OK, Vin Diesel was not cheap for sure...
Another extreme strange scene: The motorbike ride. 3 of them copied into the landscape that it looked so obvious as I would expect it from 30 year old movies...
I could go on and on but enough. I give it 1 out of ten to balance the 10 from obviously paid people...
I'm still so full of anger about this poor film and even more about the 'Excellent movie!' people that I even got back here to strengthen my opinion (while watching Pitch Black right now, which was a great movie!).
I know, it's a matter of taste, but I still CAN'T BELIEVE the 10 stars ratings! My guess is that
1- They ones got paid for rating it so high OR 2- They want to show that they want to get more Riddick movies.
The second one I would understand a bit at least....
