Utomlennye solntsem 2 (2010)
Michalkov falls - everyone dies
It's amazing, it's astounding, it's unbelievable - it's trash beyond any usual definition of trash! Some compare it with the "Inglorious basterds" and indeed it's just as insane and irreverent to historical truth but the madcap feats of daring and a plethora of lively and memorable characters that made IG such an affable flick are not there, replaced by a (s)crappy sequence of sketches performed by a coven of morons, traitors, cowards and assholes. "Sun-burned 2" is a live adaptation of "Happy Tree Friends" with the plot of every episode following the same pattern: enters Michalkov(a), enters everybody else, everybody else dies horribly, Michalkov(a) leaves, viewer doesn't give a damn.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
You don't say:"The best of HP movies" You say:"Others are even worse"
There is something wrong with the HP serial. The forth movie along arouses nothing but boredom. I didn't expect breathtaking script twists, since the story was known clear beforehand. But the acting, the camera-work, the movie arrangement, the atmosphere-all that makes a movie worth watching-EVERYTHING is missing as well! The narration is scattered into a number of badly tied together episodes ; almost all episodes by themselves live nothing in memory, except for the marvelous scene in the bathroom (where poor Harry is impudently harassed by a horny ghost-girl.)
Remember picturesque sceneries in the LOTR? Well, they all stayed there. Camera was definitely something HP-makers saved on.
Acting was always HP's week point(yep, even weaker, then the others.) I say it and i mean it: the Trio didn't know how to act then, neither it do now. Thankfully, this series's freshmen, unlike horrible prof. Lupin from the HP3(I swear, he had a constant hangover), made a good impression. Alastor Moody and that dastardly reportress inspired a spark of life into the sleepy realm. Alas, the moment they are gone, it's goggled eyes and dummy moves time again.
What's left? "The dark and frightening atmosphere?" Phu-ule-ease. You replace one's nose with slits, make a "random Mordor orc" make up and expect that to be scary? Everything else is either from a B-rank horror movie or from a "scrary room" ride in the amusement park. Bo-o-oring
Summarize: two talented second plan actors and one funny scene per the whole movie. Finish.
