Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024)
Bit dissapointing but fun
What to say about this? Its ok. All the Burton Goth Tropes are here, lot of practical stuff, even stop-motion parts. Story is ok but execution is "meh" at best. Main characters are never in real danger or at least villains are dealt with with ease.... as Ryan George say "barelly inconvenience" , literaly villans are delt with stroke of a pen. Movie is pretty short for a modern movie (less than 100 minutes), so things kinda feel rushed. I love how Burton plays with modern stuff like influencers, making them dumb as they really are.
Acting is ok, Justin Theroux charachter is annoying, Monica Bellucci is wasted here, but Burton had to give something to his girlfriend.
Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver (2024)
Uneccessary rape of Slow Motion
This movie sucks. Zack Snyder not only ripped off Star Wars, seven samurai and other far better movies, but he is stealing even music from his own movies like 300. As far as my title review goes, it really feels like that. This movie would be 35 minutes long if you cut all the slo-mo from it. Indian soap operas have less slo-mo than this. Do we really need to see farmers cutting grain in slo-mo? Some shots in slo-mo loook good but you are already sick of it by then.
As far as plot goes- Seven samurai in space but worse. Characters are bland and dumb, when they die you already forgot who they were and what are their names which is ironic, in the end the do commemoration for them and village elder says "Remember their name" which was funny AF.
Anyway, skip this movie.
Napoleon (2023)
Boring and cringe
I read the reviews before and was hesitant to go to see it in the cinema, lucky, my town cinema ticket is only 3$ so not a big deal. And I can honestly say I am very dissapointed with it.
People that praise Joaquin Phoenix portrayal of the man are his fanboys. He portrays Napoleon as a coward, shy, quiet man, which I realy doubt the man actually was. His relationship with Josephine is just cringe, no chemistry, sex scenes are just awkward and funny. He is her cuck esentially.
As far as plot goes, I get that they had to cut the movie to 2,5 hours which I dont understand why. Split it into two parts instead- Rise and Dowfall. This way we jump in time while skipping important parts and reasons for his actions.
Plus- good battle scenes thou I Doubt that some battles were fought that way, Also, for battles of over 100k people at the battlefront, there is a very little number seen on screen. Anyway, there are better movies about him, go check those instead.
Posljednji Srbin u Hrvatskoj (2019)
If you wanna watch Balkan zombie comedy
As a Croat, I found this movie very funny, it trolls many of our stereotypes. Its on Netflix so foreign audience can see absurd stuff we are dealing on daily basis- from mass exodus to other richer EU Countries, homophobia, WW2 politics- who was Ustasha(fashist) who was Partisan (Communist), down to DNA and bloodcells- how much of you is pure croatian, help you god if you are mixed (serb, bosnian etc).
As far as storyline goes, its like its been taylor made for Covid times even it came out few months before it. Zombie effects are really good for low budget comedy. Also I was very happy to see my town mentioned by doctor in it, it made my day.
Anyway, check the movie, its only 85 minutes long, excellent for netflix and chill night.
Oppenheimer (2023)
Boring, Hour too long
What to say about Oppenheiemer? Its long, and kinda boring. Lets start with downs of the movie. As always, Nolan does his thing with non-linear story telling. If he told us which year it is at what point, maybe you would feel more involved into it. This way we have no way of telling other than haircuts and real life events whera are we exactly. This way we dont know are they racing against the clock to make the bomb or do they have time to party like its 1999? Although performances are really good (Robert Downey JR. And Murphy), but that part of the movie is really not that interesting. I expected more from the bomb to be honest. They hyped it in promo but its not that eciting when you see it on big screen.
Ok, now Actors- all good, cream de la cream of Hollywood. Maybe Emily Blunt is not that great as in it as it was told but ok all the same- plus, Black widows boobies are there- Noice! Anyway, thats it- ok movie, kinda boring 5/10.
Scream VI (2023)
Lucky that Cashier at cinema is my Friend
Lucky that Cashier at cinema is my Friend so i payed just 2$ for the ticket, cause movies sucks. Trailers and early reviews said its the best Scream since original. So I guess bar is really low for the franchise. So.... story? Same old, new city- survivors move to new city to study or work and someboddy is trying to kill them. Spoiler, its revenge killing. First kills are actually interesting and then its just dumb. There is no any logic to charachters actions, and any realism is gone after main core characthers just casualy walk off deep tissue stab wounds ( Jenna Ortega alone was stabbed like 10 times, guessing has no health insurance so just goes home after losing half of her blood.). Also....how can a guessing single father who works as a cop in Atlanta afford two children in New York universities and rent an old murder museum in New York? Anyway, wait for it to go to streaming and have a good laugh.
We Have a Ghost (2023)
Midlle-aged Casper
This movie seemed fun at first. At first seemed like a nice family comedy, people move in the new "cheap" house, they find a benevolent ghost in the attic, and thats where movie should have stopped. But no. A-train (lets be real, Anthony MAckie loooks more like A-train than Cap. America) posts video of the ghost on youtube and people go crazy over it. Then Tik-Tok got involved, and my interest stopped. Then they trew in media and CIA and movie got dumb. Basicly those Ernest movies but Ernest is the ghost( ghost name is Ernest btw). What happens after, I got no idea, stopped watching around 50 min in, cause plot makes no sense after that. David Harbour needs a new agent.
M3GAN (2022)
Big hype, Huge Dissapointment
Everybody said M3gan is awesome, must see, bla bla bla. Turns out its a PG horor. Started watching it with high hope, liked it at first, but then movie just got bad. It has very good premise and blend of CGI and live action for M3GAN looks impresive. As far as characters go, they act like they never met other human beings. Dialogue gets really cringe sometimes. Character of Cady (orphaned girl) is more of a robot than M3GAN, her lines are just ridicilous. As far as gore goes... there is none. Every kill is mostly off-screenish, and for a killer robot slasher, you expect that- a slasher. Anyway, they will make a sequel, cause off course they will, but I wouldnt bother, unless I date a girl who is really into that crap.
The King's Man (2021)
I fell asleep
This movie sucks. Its so boring, the way it distorts the past is just awfull. I was watching it at home and half way through I was thinking about going to sleep. I gave it a chance but if I went too sleep I wouldnt miss much. Gemma is hot thou.
The Batman (2022)
Great movie with one flaw
Just seen The Batman, and I am pleasently surprised. Didnt expect much from pattinson but he really surprised me. He is intimidating as Batman, He is on Bale and Keaton level as the bat. However, his emo Bruce Wayne is annoying, he acts like he is sulky teenager. Lucky for s, Bruce is in only like 10 minutes of screen time. As far as villains go, there is so many of them and they are really good. Paul Dano and Colin Farell are briliant. Zoe Kravitz is good as Catwoman, maybe if she had more things to do it would be better, didnt really see much of her "powers". All in all, excellent Batman movie, hopefully sequel will mature Bruce and keep Batman the force he is. Worth to watch.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
Ghostbusters
Its Ghostbusters for kids. If you were born in 80s, you seen it already. Looks decent, story is same as first one.
Features Sexiest man alive Paul Rudd.
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
The Worst thing about is Keanu
As far as movie goes,its not that bad. It brings nothing new as far as inventions go. Its a sequel, not a reboot so it basicly follows same plot lines and Matrix lore. First half of the movie is interestng, has lot of expositions, so you are caught up with new future. Second part is where movie falls apart with story and is just boring. Acting - Keanu is just bad, outside John Wick series he is unwatchable, Jessica Hendwick is great, girl has a bad habit of choosing bad projects ( Iron Fist and this).
Halloween Kills (2021)
This is a bad movie
Watching Halloween Kills, you gotta wonder what were they thniing with this? Michael kills everybody he sees with no motivation, but " victims" are even dumber, from the way they aproach him to the way they act. It feels like everybody has IQ of 70, and none of the actions they do make sense or have any impact on story. Ending is so stupid, clearly wanting to milk that dead cow to the last drop.
Dune: Part One (2021)
Honestly... Boring
Dune ( part one), is in visual sense improvment over Dune 1984, bus as a a whole its boring. Lucky its just part one so its basicly 2,5 hours of world building. It relies alot on star power, which in general is ok, Oscar Isaac stands out the most to me. I do have a feeling that Villenueve used lot of sets from Blade Runner 2049, visualy looks very similar. In conclusion, if you are a fan of a book and dune world, watch it, if not, maybe wait for part two, you wont miss much.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
Too short and dissapointing
As in title, I was dissapointed cause the main showdown came so quickly, and it ended before 90 minutes. Story is bland, and I expected more of Carnage. Such an iconic villain is wasted on a short movie. Jokes are funny if you are kid I guess, cause only kids laughed at them. Anyway... stay for the end credit scene.
No Time to Die (2021)
Best Craigs Bond by far
As a fan of Pierce Brosnans version of Bond, I wasn't big Craigs fan. Just that wasn't Bond, no suave moves, no gadgets, and he just didn't have his charisma. At the begining of the movie with hers flashback I thought this will suck like spectre, but time jump to now blew me away. Didn't care much for Bonds love story but that changed at the end. Movie is really good,action is great and Bond is finally charming and funny with one-liners. Shame its Craigs last Bond, he finally made him watchable. Rami Malek is great villain, new 007 agent is kinda dissapointing, she is not that much of use. In conclusion, go see it, Its amazing Swan song for Craig. Now- Go Richard Madden or Michael Fassbender as new Bond!
The Tomorrow War (2021)
Logic out of the window!
This movie has no logic in it. If you are time traveling there is much better way to deal with your situation. It really makes no sense. Watch it for action and thats it.
Army of the Dead (2021)
Watch if you really must
This movie is too long and stil doesnt give you much answers like who, why, how much time has past. Zombies have "society", some are even Robo Zombies which nobody mentions in the movie, plot is full of holes, feels like it was made by producers of last season of Game of Thrones. Even zombie kills lack imaginaton. Avoid if you can, spend those 2+ hours more wisely.
Cruella (2021)
Suprisingly good!
Watched it cause I was bit curious, and like first five minutes didnt give me much hope of that this might be good. But as movie progressed it turned out to be really fun experience, good origin story. Kinda explains why she want to skin dalmatians :-) . All in all good movie for family movie night.
Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
They had better movie in opening credits
Honestly this movie is just a giant plot hole. Nothing has any sense or their actions are at all logical. As I said in the title, they had like a monster tournament bracket in opening credits, and if they made that...sort of King of the Monsters tournament with no people or people as spectators, that be a movie worth watching. They would also save on actors, cause they are really just annoying. If you are not watching this in cinema but you are streaming it , just skip to fights, story is bad anyway.
Mortal Kombat (2021)
Face it... You are here cause of " Get over here!!!"
Its a MK movie with blood and Gore, you didnt came here for story, even when you play game you skip story parts and just wanna do X-Ray attacks and Fatality as soon as possible. It sets up a franchise, and we want more!
Oxygène (2021)
It is a good SF for late night binge
It is a good, solid SF film, it keeps you invested in it with its twist and turns. Also takes from todays world events, really takes on many modern world issues but in a same time gives you like a modern " Burried" vibes. Main characther can be at times bit annoying with her outburst but other than that, solid performance. So if you are a fan of SF, or you are a gamer ( reminded me of games like Horizon Zero Dawn), then you should give this one a try...and do use original language, read few subtitles from now and then :-)
