Scream (2022)
Stop screaming, please!
Everything can look better in a movie theater, specially if you watch it with your with friends. This enthusiastic vibe can affect your perception of the movie, of any movie by the way, it has happened to myself.
But watching it without the excitement of seeing Sidney Prescott again, by the way, she's barely in this movie, you'll realize how bad it is.
Sidney Prescott is the soul of Scream, the first final girl to have a proper character arch, to make us really root for her. Scream is a movie about the shadow of the tragedy of her mother's death upon her daughter's life. So the previous entries were very smart to understand: it has to be about Sidney.
If the plot is not about her, you're not watching a Scream movie at all.
All the legacy characters are there just to be there. If you take them out of this movie it doesn't make any difference.
The new ones are BORING, SHALLOW and more STUPID than any slasher character I've ever seen.
The leading girls: who cares!?
So... what's the point after all? If it's not to make a good movie after all these years, it's time to realize it would be better stop screaming.
House of Gucci (2021)
A soap opera? A tv series? NO, just another forgettable movie.
I'll keep it short.
You could watch a REAL MOVIE instead. It looks just like they got a bunch of scenes from a tv show and put them all together to make a movie. But it's still not a real movie. It doesn't develop a proper theme, it doesn't develop characters, by the way, they are depicted in a very cartoonish way.
This "movie" doesn't show the drama, it tells you. Hey! I love you. Next scene: I don't love you anymore! OK, where are the scenes? Show me the rise and fall through moving pictures, that's all a movie is about.
It also tries to be many things and the script doesn't manage to deliver none of them, it's not a crime drama, it's not a dark comedy, it's not a family drama.
Ridley Scott should have stopped after he did Gladiator.
With a good script, Scorsese would have done a better job. Italian family drama, he would have nailed it!
After all it is just another forgettable movie.
