Mortal Kombat (2021)
MK '95 is 10 Classes above this one ..
I can't believe how bad this Mortal Kombat movie is. Blows my mind how people rated this 7-8-9 or even 10. I had high hope for this one!! I'm SO disappointed. I was expecting a TOURNAMENT ( HELLO?! ) in a MORTAL KOMBAT MOVIE ( !!! ), and all we got was a bunch of random events and fights with very, very bad dialogs ( plot ).
I don't know why I'm rating this 3 as it deserve 1. I assume it's because the Scorpion fights which were .. OKish, and for Kano, who played the roll pretty well. Other then that, is a 1 star movie.
AVOID IT!
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
OK ..
As a base .. this final episode was not bad ( with some .. exceptions which since now, we are used with them ).
But , because of the last 2 episodes and .. because of this season as a whole, many will find this episode not what it should be ( which, I agree to some degree ).
Now, why did I gave it a 7 ? Because finally, we had some decent dialogs between the main characters, especially Tyrion & CO at the council table. Actually, I think this 7 is because of the last 25 min of this episode, because that was the most ..normal 25 mins from this season.
Jon in the North? Makes sense. How they managed to get Jon here ( strictly based on the last episodes ) , does not.
Dany death? Makes sense. How they managed to get Dany here ( strictly based on the last episodes ) , does not.
Sansa , Queen of the North? Makes sense.
Arya, the ..Adventuress? .. Debatable.
Bran? King of the Six Kingdoms? ...i'm indifferent with this one :)
Anyway, this could have been a good episode if the rest from this season would also have been ..decent.
Was a nice ride GoT! I will surely miss you ( especially 1-6 seasons ) .
May the old Gods and new Gods make the upcoming movies based on this awesome story of Westeros, at least on-pair with GoT.
Chernobyl: 1:23:45 (2019)
Didn't see this one coming ..
..but after I saw it today on HBOGO I told myself that I should give it a try! Damn, this is a one piece of a gem which took me by surprise. Is lovely crafted and very good on plots and details.
It sends you very fast into the main subject, which is the disaster of Chernobyl and it keeps you on-chair for the most part. I pretty much recommnad this to everyone!
I .. am disappointed in one thing : Is a mini-series, meaning we will only get 5 episodes!!! Man, I though we will get at least 1 full 10 episodes season!!
Game of Thrones: The Last of the Starks (2019)
One of the worst episodes ..
The first 30+ minutes I was so bored that I often asked myself "What in the earth did they do with the almighty GoT?!".
Very, very poor writings. The only reason why this gets a 5 from me is the Tyrion and Varys conversation, which was decent.
I believe the the worst scene ever, was when Daenerys begging Jon. Wow .. speechless.
I now know why the 8.3 episode was pretty good ( besides the ending which I don't even want to talk about ). Is because there were barely any .. plots, any speeches, etc. It was mostly action.
Anyway! 2 more to go and I don't see this ending good.
Martin, where you at man?!
Game of Thrones: The Long Night (2019)
One of the best episodes ...
...until the death of NK. This episode should of ended with everyone battling and struggling to live and with NK standing face to face with Bran. Arya killing NK was the worst scene from the entire episode from my point of view. Is not that he's death. Is the fact the Episode 1 - Season 1 started with the White Walkers and .. we should of got a better ending of the White Walkers.
All in all , it was a good episode with some "small things" here and there which should of been better without them.
13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi (2016)
The Movie vs Reality ...
Well! I first saw the movie then reading kinda lots of articles and saw some interesting videos on youtube and as far as I can say, the movie pretty much do a good job at relating the actual events! Of course , without all the extra flashy effects from Hollywood , some more drama then in reality and such , hence, the name Movie! But still , it "gets" you there as Tanto said in an interview on Fox News.
Now, I also read some negative comments from IMDb , and I will try to quote and reply to some of them : "story that you are about to be told , there are a LOT of false things in this movie , starting with the city that it looks absolutely nothing like Benghazi (I mean come on guys , even pictures from Google will tell you that Benghazi doesn't look like that, you aren't even trying)" - Actually , I just did a google search " Benghazi city " and guess what? Lots and lots of pictures with buildings in ruins. So for me, is pretty much as in the movie!
"This "film" is just a fantasy straight out of the fevered head of Trey Gowdy and his ilk, no stand down order has ever been proved to exist but they push it in this POS like it was true." - Well , when 3 of the main guys who where THERE, comes in public and tells "Yes! They actually did give us the "stand down order" multiple times, I tend to believe them rather then any other man from the government! Youtube - "Real-life Benghazi heroes open up about '13 Hours' movie" for proves!
"The story is 4 years old and the movie just comes out right before an election featuring Hillary Clinton." - The movie is based on a book which came out in 2014 ! Hate more!
"All the locals are portrayed as clownish, sinister, cowardly cartoon characters" & "Politics aside, the movie portrayed the Libyan people as savages, when in reality many of them helped save these soldiers." - Well, first of, this movie is from the soldier perspective! Please try to understand that next time when you review a movie. Secondly! Well , if I was there I would have 100% said exactly like what the US soldier said : They all look suspicious ,sinister, savages , etc ! In an under-attack-assault time, EVERYONE looks like an enemy! Even the neighbor dog is looking like the baddest enemy!
All in all , this was secondly , a very good movie - yes yes, it's not 100% accurately - , but FIRST a very sad true story - yes yes, this is actually 100% accurately that 4 men DIED in that night!
The rest is silent !
The Revenant (2015)
He did ...
...tried to make this movie, his first Oscar winning movie. But I am afraid, you need to wait longer, Leonardo DiCaprio. Is not your fault. Actually, I rated this movie a 7 because of your brilliant performance, but I think the director wanted to .. "recreate" Interstellar , in terms of drama, feelings and such. He kinda failed. He wanted to show us the magnificent views he choose for this movie. He did that, but man! don't just throw us scenes just for the sake of showing X wonderful view. There were times when I was watching some random views and told myself "why am I seeing this view? what this has to do with the whole scene?" Yes! The scenes are beautiful, but still ..
They should have focused more on the recovery of the character to make the audience to actually see the movie with normal eyes. A lot of scenes were "WTF" scenes, in a movie where they say is based on true events.
Anyway , I think this movie will move a lot more , parents , then the rest of the viewers.
!Next time Leo!Next time ..
300: Rise of an Empire (2014)
The reason why ..
..this movie those not get a 10 out of 10 from me ( and an Oscar from...you know who ) is because the performance, from the lead character Themistocles played by Sullivan Stapleton was average-good. Not bad, not outstanding, just average-good.
Imagine what this movie would look like, if the lead character had a "badass-like", a more "mad and full of blood thirst" attitude and was played by another actor with such .. "skills". Don't get me wrong , Stapleton , as I said, has played his role average to good, but compared to Artemisia ( Eva Green ) character, he kinda fall more to average performance, rather then a good one.
The only excellent scene which Stapleton played, was the sex scene while Artemisia had a brilliant performance the whole movie. I think Clive Owen would have fit better as the lead role. I can see him being a badass and have the mad attitude of Gerard Butler but in the same time his unique acting skills.
Having saying that , 300 Rise of an Empire has taken the 300 series, few steps forward, since this time, beside the fighting scenes , we had a bit of a plot/story , more then the previous movie.
So I recommend this movie to any 300 fans, and also to the ones who love action/fictional/fantasy like movies.
PS: As a side thought ( OK OK, fantasy/impossible wish :) ) , I would love to see Leonidas character teaming up with the... Avengers.
Prisoners (2013)
Very solid film, but what? ...
I don't normally write reviews, but this time I have to do it. The movie deserves a solid 9/10 , but because of the ending, I "took" off 2 stars. I mean really? The ending is not COOL, is frustrating, is not something which let's you think about it, how it might ends and such. No, it just "tells" you that there is a happy ending, but without showing it, which from my point of view and with this kind of a story, a somehow NORMAL ending would have been amazing.
An ending which should have let you think about it, was an ending without the last whistle or an ending where the cop was staring at the car, like a thinker with that nice soundtrack on the background. That would have been a far better ending and NOT this ending where somehow it tells you "hey , oh, you are there, nice, let me just...." and then the director says "CUT! Good job everyone" .
Anyway, up until the ending, the movie is very strong with some minor "lefts out" here and there. Worth seeing it.
Day of Wrath (2006)
A Good Movie!
First of all , Christopher Lambert had some good movies , like Mortal Kombat , Absolon , Beowulf , Fortress 1 ( Better then Fortress 2 ). About Day of Wrath , well the first part of the movie is like a mind game , you don't know what is really happen , but then .. you realize what is all about and the movie start getting a interesting way and keeps you awake. I loved the last 25 minutes of the movie , when he found the list and saw his name with other Jews and when he speaks with his uncle he found the true about the crimes and the only way to survive is to have 2 identities. Is like "You gotta to what you gotta do".
The Librarian: Quest for the Spear (2004)
Nice
I liked this movie , it's a nice adventure/fantastic one. I am waiting for the 2st part :) I loved the story itself .. about the artifacts ... like the legends are real u know? I like those kind of movies. Flynn was perfect for this movie ,its like the most intelligent person on the earth but in the mean time its a little dump:) His the bigger book reader , he knows anything about everything , i wish i could do it:) One from the most nice parts from the movies its at the begging ... when his starting to say the story of the pyramids:)) it was funny and don't forget the island part...I LOVED the view it was awesome...geez i wonder if I can have such an adventure. Anyway , thats all i guess...so.. Very well Flynn :P
