Bird Box (2018)
How silly you think we are?
Actually its a waste of time. But watch it once if you have nothing better to do in your life.
This movie is full of really stupid behaviour and really bad decisions of the protagonists. Okay I can accept that.
But the plot holes are offending the audiences intellect way too much. You want some examples?
With a walkie talkie radio that can transmit about 0.5 miles they talk to someone who is about 50 miles far.
Even 5 years after the world has endet the walkie talkie still has full batteries.
After the world has been ended by these monsters and almost everybody outside that house is dead, they still have electricity and water supply for several days. Well, thanks the guys from the power plant and from the waterworks they still working around the clock.
5 years you have to cover the eyes outside the house. If not you are going to die instantly. You are alone and the last survivor. And in this world you can rise two babies and kids? Where is the food from?
We learn that the food and medicine is from looting the empty houses of neighbourhood. For 5 years walking each day blindfolded around to find food. Seriously?
Can kids grow up without fresh food anyway?
They seem to have a garden. Have you tried to do farming when you are fully blindfolded?
Woman decides to go on a two days rowing boat trip down the river. Have you ever tried to row more than 1 hour? Have you ever tried to row down the river completely blindfolded?
Ex soldier in amazing physical shape let himself knock down from behind from an old crazy guy, in a situation when he was already alarmed that the old guy is up to something. He did not hear him coming? What kind of soldier it that?
Have you tried running in a forest completely blindfolded?
With two kids under your arms?
Completely blindfolded she finds that camp, where she has never been before, in the deep wilderness. Seriously?
In this camp, in the deepest forest, far from anything, there are living at least 100 people. Most of them are blind. It's a school for blind people. Where do they get food from since the world ended?
Who would build a school for the blind in the deep wilderness anyway?
The list could be so much longer.
The Marsh King's Daughter (2023)
Silly plot holes
Watch it one time, if you have not anything better to do with your life, and then forget it soon.
Its a slow thriller about a man who forced a women to live with him in the wilderness far from any other people. They have a daughter and the daughter is happy there. She is born there and does not know anything else than the woods. Daddy is proud of her as she is growing up and learns to hunt. But her mother is waiting for a chance to escape...
Talking about plot holes: They live in absolute isolation. Still they got weapons, ammo, tools, clothes, oil for the lamp, oven, furniture, glass for windows... How did all the equipment get there?
The don't grow vegetables. Eating only hunted meat. For years and years. Do you think its possible? For a child?
The place is so isolated that it needs a boat to reach it. Still one day there appears a guy with a quad machine who lost his way. And he obviously did not come by boat.
Also also Grandpa Clark appeared there. Which way did he come?
A rifle that was lying for 20 years unprotected under the wooden floor of a forest shack would definitely stuck and be jammed. But she uses it as if it was polished just yesterday.
Okay forget the pedantic details. Its not a bad movie. Just okay.
Fear the Night (2023)
Home Invasion Thriller, Okay
This Home Invasion Thriller is actually 5 stars.
But I rate 7 because I have a crush on Maggie Q.
And to be honest, the Thriller was entertaining and tense enough to keep me non stop on the seat.
Well, the flaws are obvious: Most actors only amateur or mediocre. The girls not pretty, except Maggie of course. The behaviour of the girls during the attack mostly stupid. Dialoges between the sisters unnecessary.
The good thing is, once the girls are under attack you feel for them and pity for them and hope they can survive.
Basically this is a Maggie Q show. She is dominating 70% of the scenes. Thumbs up for her.
Donnie Darko (2001)
Sorry, what was that?
This happens when you choose watching a movie because of its high rating and highly positive reviews, you get totally disappointed.
This is by far the most boring and useless movie I saw since 5 years.
Was ist about time travel? No. Did it make any sense? No. Was it entertaining. No?
What's the purpose of the English teacher here? We will never know. What's the purpose of the Cunningham figure? I don't get it. What's the purpure of the "Shut up" Chinese? Not more than a cheap running gag.
Meaning or message of the story? Can not see it.
Didn't the engine fall of that plane where the mother and sister sitting in? Though they where in the house when the engine crashed.
Nothing in the film makes sense. Why these high ratings?
The Creator (2023)
Americans bring war everywhere
This movie is not great. Watching it one time is more than enough. We follow an American spy solider who lost his Asian wife by a bob attack in Asialand and 5 years later his General tells him that she is still alive. Solider is obsessed to find her. And furthermore he got the order to find the new secret mega-weapon of Asialand that can put America in danger. Because America is in war with Asialand.
And like 5 years ago, everywhere where the solider appears there will be shooting and bombs and destruction and genocide on the native and the KI-bots of Asialand.
We learn that his wife happened to be the most wanted KI-creator of Asialand and the creator of the new mega-weapon. Ask yourself how likely is that? A spy did not know that his wife is the most wanted person of Asialand, and a wife, the greatest KI-creator of Asianland, did not know her husband is a spy. What the ...?
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Brainless
As a person who has not seen the old Top Gun from 1986 I must say this movie is a brainless popcorn B-movie with probably extremely high budget.
Everything they present the audience here is so far away from reality that it hurts.
No, I am, not a Tom Cruise hater. He belongs to the top actors in the world and I can only admire and envy his shape and success.
As said before, it is the silly story , the overkill in patriotism, the complete lack of realism concerning the aircraft handling, the complete lack of realism concerning the peoples action.
Is this a movie made of about video game or something? That would explain a lot.
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
Boring CGI trash
Sorry to say this, but as a viewer who did not see Thor movies before and who is not familiar with all the Marvel Characters and their history, this movie was a CGI overkill and I fell asleep about 5 times during the movie.
From the beginning to the end this movie failed to.create any interest in me for their characters and their actions. I suppose there was a lot of irony in it. Some I got and some of it not. The "humor" is on a very cheap level. The entire movie seemed to be created in a Computer. I wonder if the actors ever left the green screen studio for only one time during the work. And finally I can not tell what was the movie all about. Probably because falling asleep several times.
BTW: I am not a Marvel hater. Not at all. I saw Black Panther already 7 times. This was a movie that thrilled from the beginning to the end.
The Dead Don't Die (2019)
it started with a 7 and turned into a 3
I really enjoyed the first half of the movie and got bored and annoyed in the second half.
That very, very small town has got a prison, or something like that, and tree teenagers who look smart and not criminal at all are living there. In several scenes we see them. But they have nothing to do with the story of this movie and seem misplaced like an alien.
Talking about alien. There is no clue why one person of this town is taken away by an UFO at the end of the movie and what this has do do with the zombie outbreak.
Talking about zombie. They perform not bad. But after 100 times chopping their head of it just get boring.
At the end of the movie all people act boring and silly.
And what has this hobgoblin to do in this movie?
Bang Chung Vo Hinh (2020)
Vietnam crime movie
Its the first Vietnam crime movie that I have seen and I liked it pretty much.
The female actress is pretty and you instantly feel pity for her fate of being blind after an accident. Even more, she lost her brother in that same accident.
As the story goes and she gets in real danger the move is able to thrill.
Its not flawless but its worth to watch.
Nomadland (2020)
3 Oscars - what for?
3 Oscars - what for?
Best movie: Well it its pretty much boring showing ugly people in their ugly vans living an ugly life in an ugly landscape.
Best Director: Seriously? Every student could have made this movie without efforts. I wonder how much did it cost the made this movie. Probably 10.000 bugs would have been enough.
Best female actor: Well best courage for showing off ugly in the most boring movie of the century for sure.
Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)
Moved me to tears several times
Wow, this movie is brilliant. People who don't like it have no fantasy and no heart.
It moved me to tears many times with emotions. For me this is the benchmark for the highscore.
Now what do we get? A strong young woman who fights for 6 years to fix the world that she has broken. Her crew is growing and adults might find some characters childish. These are obviously to entertain the youngest viewers. Apart from that the movie has its dark scenes and the depressing message not to trust anyone. But later on Raya will learn to trust, and this is how the world will be fixed.
Haters will call it naive. I call it a wonderful.
Zombieland (2009)
Fun? I can't see anything funny here.
Must say this movie is totally disappointing and crap. Lets start with the main actor guy, this cowboy Tallahassee, who looks not one inch brighter than a zombie, but calls himself a passionate zombie killer. What an idiot. Did he say one funny or clever sentence in that movie? He did not. The other guy (Columbus) and the girls are just OK. Not more, not less. But even they didn’t manage to provide funny or interesting dialogues. Instead they come along with stupid behaviour. And if a movie is supposed to be a fun movie, why is there not any tit, besides of one zombie, in this movie? Prudish Americans. So where else is the so called fun here? Shooting Bill Murray in his villa and dropping him form the balcony? Kicking zombies with different kind of tools and car doors? Worst moment in this movie was the freaking out scene out in the Native American souvenir shop. Dam it, not only that the white American settlers have stolen all the land of the natives, without any sign of consciousness of doing wrong, now they even celebrate destroying their cultural objects and call it “enjoy the small things”. It is just like we would make a funny Nazi movie and smashing some Jewish shops there and celebrate our best funny movie of the year. To say it short, this movie is wrong. I regret the time spending on it.
