Inferno (2016)
Hey, it's not THAT bad. You just expected too much.
In my opinion most reviews here are too harsh on the movie. Its about mystery, vienna, art, riddles... the typical Dan Brown stuff. Yes, the phylosophical aspects of it are gone, but wasn't that expected? Its a movie. They want to make it all actiony, like they always do.
The different ending really surprised me aswell. The books end is smart and makes you think. The movie end is just actiony again. Thats disappointing, but still:
If you expect a cool action mystery movie, where the protagonists are being followed and have to solve riddles and all, this movie is really good, like a 8/10.
If you've read the book and expect the same level, then it's more a 5 or a 6. Go into the movie with the right expectations and you'll be satisfied.
Inkheart (2008)
read the book first
Even though i havent read the book, I feel like the book is better than the movie. A lot of stuff isnt explained, the happenings seem rushed, summarized, more like an overview and exactly like following a story that wasnt written for a movie. Its not bad, but also not great.
I think you will have the most fun watching this movie, if youve already read the book and just lean back and enjoy a movie makers take on the visuals, that are different in every readers head, and the story, that is probably slightly different from how you remember it.
Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking (2004)
Close to the BBC show
I really liked that movie. The way Sherlock Holmes is portrayed here strongly reminds me of the 2010 TV show, called Sherlock (which is really great). In contrast to every other Sherlock movie I've watched before, this one resembles the 2010 Sherlock the best and I really like that version of him.
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)
Boring
Absolutely boring and obviously made for dudes to enjoy a good looking woman that punches people.
Arrival (2016)
An INTJs Dream
I went into this movie expecting another Independence Day like movie but this is truly something else.
The main focus is not on action and how they fight a superior race but on science and practical thinking. Aliens arrive on earth, what do we do? Communicate. Find solutions. Negotiate. People get scared, they demonstrate. Countries don't work together but work for themselves and some shout war way to early. Everything is so realistic and if you're interested in science, linguistics, what ifs and learning stuff this is your movie.
Obviously there is this twist and you could argue that it makes it less realistic but if there really are aliens on this earth, how is this more unrealistic than that. For all we know time is relative.
The movie also has a great message and all in all is the best scifi movie I've ever seen.
Vildheks (2018)
Disappointing
I've read the book this movie is based on when it came out in Germany and opposed to this movie, it's really good.
The plot is different than in the book, like they cut out the exciting parts, what leaves us with the most boring kids movie I've ever seen. It vaguely tells the original story like someone read the book and wrote this movie one year later from pure memory, with the only intention to make this a very good looking movie. I was also absolutely not able to connect with the characters at all. The main actress doesn't look like the girl on the book cover as well.
The summery of my review would be: Absolutely boring, but probably great if you want to play it on mute in the background.
