Glass (2019)
Love letter to comic
A love letter to comic book genre
The first 20 minutes of this movie is just done so well you expect the rest of the movie to keep that same intensity , all the main puzzle have been put together and then M Night needed to fix the last puzzle and he's got a masterpiece on his hands but everything went a different way and M Might never actually seemed to get a hold of this movie , felt like the film became an entity of its own and M Night lost the wheel . Good movie at the end but the issues remain . Run time was just jarring because it didn't need to be that long and the movie kept writing in scenes that should be left in the cutting room , the characters started overplaying themselves including several characters that just didn't need to be in the movie eg the victim girl .
Children of Men (2006)
Shocking
Alfonso is without doubt one of the most unique directors in the business and this movie just hit me with a reality bang for no reason but I was fully convinced I enjoyed the movie ð¥ must watch
IO (2019)
Why ?
Here's a movie with a great idea ... post apocalyptic earth ... it's got all the instruments to make a good movie but it just failed and kept failing . The worst thing about this movie is that it thought it was about to deliver some Alex garland type great movie but it just a lie . The bad dialogue and forced relationship that I danr even start to talk about because that is just something I can't comprehend ... at end I kept asking "why is this movie ?" why are characters keeping secrets just why why why
Contagion (2011)
lesson learnt
Surprised by the amount of talent involved. really engaging movie and definitely teaches how fragile our existence is however the movie does bite its self down and I think a lot of its downfall slightly might be due to the script
the movie is telling a single story but somehow thinks it needs a series of vignettes but even if it wanted to add all that it should do it well but at the end the various events never connect.
more times you see a particular character or characters gets a good story in one vignette but then the movie put waters it down by not delivering anything exciting with that arch.
one thing about this movie is that do kind of get shaken and nervous about what the world could become and that's where it won me over.
Sliding Doors (1998)
Flawed but love preveals
Okay here we go .... I want to give this movie a bad review but there are so many saving grace in it that redeems the movie.
The story and the idea of jumping vignette in two separate universe is a good idea but the execution was just clumsy and ended making the overarching story fall flat
However .....
There is a charm Gwyneth Paltrow brought to this movie and she totally had me hooked , I bought the chemistry with John Hannah( gwyneth British accent was a bit off though)
Overall a decent love story
The Road (2009)
The road is a long boring journey
Almost a really good post apocalyptic movie but this movie as very little to offer in terms of entertainment. I was fully bored from start to finish .
Bird Box (2018)
Bird box
Great idea and the excecution is almost perfect , I was sucked into the movie because I bought the idea until half way I just felt it lost its momentum but overall a really good sci-fi horror thriller ...the narrative was so messy and I found my self being thrown out of the movie because it was saturated with plot holes ... a movie like this should find a way to keep the audience engaged even with plot holes but this movie lost me half way and the ending just didnt live up to the promise it made from the start
Lionheart (2018)
Fun movie
In the process of trying to create a very grounded and emotional story with a strong message Genevieve Nnaji might have unintentionally made a fun movie with a good script but some times the execution can down play the importance of a some moments, they never really brought a certain gravitas to the movie to make it epic and that stopped it from reaching its full potoential .More times the movie just refuses to take risk and fully surprise the viewer . The writers definitely put a good script together but they might not have realised that they only just laid a foundation for what could have been a great script. The directorial decision to bring a very cultural and nostalgic traits of nollywood really gave a fun edge to the movie , this was really important in order to downplay the political aspect of this movie which never really worked for me . I defintely feel the sub plot of the company finding away to stay alive really failed in the movie.
Definitely a good movie that a lot of people can decicate 1 hour and 30 mins to and wonâ(TM)t be dissapointed.
