Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
Something was off
You want it or not, a comparation with the old movie is automatic. The first thing that comes to mind is that it kinda drags the story. It lacks the flow of the previous. The main villan is unconvincing and I found myself many times not understanging how to categorise him. Is evil without a clear motive, powerful without convincing greatness. You don't know if you want to love him or not.
The actions scenes are ok, but no moment where I would thing it's something epic worthy. At times almost too much of the same.
Maybe the main problem was the script, neglected in the face of the many action scenes paired with fancy camera movement. The plot was ok, but it lacked a smarter way of putting it on the screen.
Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (2023)
From the very first minutes you smell something wrong
Imagine the most predictible, overused plot possible, all written by some a.i. That does not understand when things are ridiqulous. Or was made like that especially? It tries to be ironic?
The first scene of the movie:
In a world with space ships a frail woman is struggling in the dirt with a plow with no wheels. She is working on a land near a village. From that village a young strong man sees her, runs to her... and asks "Hey, I thought you were finished? "
The landscape is like from a fairy tale moon. It has snowy mountains, near a parent planet that seems way too close at the horizont, that has dust rings and other moons.
The village has a snowy mountain near it, with a waterfall so big and beautiful, that seems it's water originates from the very top of it. ?!
Anyway, in this beautiful peisage a space ship arrives, from which some nazi looking fellows descend. Oh, oh.
The Killer (2023)
Pointless
You struggle to find the point of this movie.
What does it want to tell? What is the meaning of it?
I found no empathy, no emotion, nothing to care about. Just a pale ride with a killer that does nothing out of the ordinary. There is no satisfying moment. It's all so predictable, from a personage that seems to lack any emotions. A psychopath that kills as a job.
The movie is split in some pointless "chapters", with names as boring as the whole movie.
It was advertised to have sountrack provided by NiN... but that also falls flat, barely having them in the movie.
The movie seems like a piece of work you do just to pass time, not involving yourself with passion.
The Hateful Eight (2015)
A first for Tarantino - a predictable movie
You've seen the trailer, you know what is going to happen - Some people get stuck in a place with a clear intrigue around them. Your job is to expect some crazy ass dialogue and twists. Well.. has dialogue and has twists. But nothing to blow up your mind. I find it pretty weak compared to other Tarantino movies. It looks like a single scene expanded in an entire movie. The required purpose could have happened way faster but it was forced into a long theatrical debate about revealing things. Like those evil people that get lost in explaining the evil plot to the good guy, until they get caught on a wrong foot. I'm not sure why this movie was needed. Reservoir Dogs was done before.
Inglourious Basterds (2009)
...a Tarantino movie!
That is it! I'm tired of this people that don't understand what they are looking at. This is not a movie about war.. or hate, Jews, history, whatever... It's the Tarantino way of making movies. Twisted characters, awkward script, black comedy, intense dialogue, sadistic moments and fiction. Please don't see this movie and then whine that your guidelines were broken. It has Tarantino's distinctive mark... and if you don't like that then it's pretty useless to see it.
Far from perfect but highly enjoyable if you are a movie junkie. Christian Waltz is the man of the movie, Brad Pitt does a good job... and i was a little disappointed by Eli Roth :)
