Casanova (2005)
Heath Ledger in Casanova: A Banyan Kept as a Bonsai
Perfect casting of Heath Ledger as Casanova. But his magnificent voice and charming portrayal of the womaniser felt a bit too alone in this movie's embroil of a very poor script, extremely weak character inter-reactions and blasé humour architected with forced punchlines. The wannabe-deep concept of love which the movie tried to offer from the very beginning just went straight down the gutter with the shallow fate designing for the characters Victoria and Giovanni at the end. Costume, music, photography, individual acting of characters all were kinda okay (mostly). But, to me, the most sorrowful fact for this movie was not being able to unveil and use Heath Ledger's potentials up to the mark due to the joke of a script fueled by extremely poor character interactions.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)
Poor Screenplay and direction ruined a potential plot
Unlike the previous four movies, this movie just totally let it down with such a heavy star-cast and continuation of previous cast linkages. And at the same time, this movie has become yet another good example of how a sudden change of director and screenplay writer for a heavily set up franchise can detract a film with potential heavy plot. The intent might be clearer if you take the time to do a simple google search about the directors and screenplay writers of the last four movies and the current one. Sudden spike aye, savvy?
