Immortals (2011)

Worth watching

[6/10 · 12 November 2011]

i was negatively suspicious of the film,it gave me many reasons to. The 3D,little known cast as a whole,Greek mythology..

i saw it in 2D and it had a great feeling of a well made movie. Not in all aspects,it had a story that was not really interesting but the action never let you get bored. great visuals,awesome battles,incredible sound. that's what you get from this movie and if you have the right pop corn,it is enough.

historical accuracy or even mythological accuracy is not to be expected. it is vaguely reminding some things inspired from it, which is not by itself a bad thing. acting is acceptable in general and the slow motion fights are used by the director not as frequently as to be another 300 but in great scenes which i am guessing in 3D would look phenomenal.

not a great movie,it is only to be enjoyed in a big multiplex

Johnny English Reborn (2011)

a movie that shouldn't have been made

[3/10 · 28 September 2011]

if one does not have a movie,one should not make (or even try)one.

the movie failed all over. the comedy was actually laughable,meaning that every joke was unbelievably common,cut and pasted from the book of jokes seen 1000 times.almost no use of the talented actor and his known talent for good silent jokes. no genuine content,the plot was clear before the first half of the film,surprises were not in order except the vast dullness i did not expect from a film that much advertised(yes,i should have known better).

directing was nowhere,every member of the cast made a really even performance with the rest of this miserable film. even things like music and photography let down.

all in all,the only thing that keeps it from total 0 is the known actor and character. smiling might be in order,even more so if while watching, you start realising how little thought was made in every scene. do not approach

Due Date (2010)

one of the worst films i have ever(almost) seen

[1/10 · 20 December 2010]

..and imagine i was already in a good mood to see this,having heard it is not that great.

i watched it in a cinema filled and just stood and waited for the first 30 minutes. after seeing that laughing was out of the question,i tried to find something to smile about in this movie. no result.

the characters are unrealistic,everyone except Robert's character. every situation ends up weird and not funny-weird,awkward-wtf-weird. hated every moment and every dialog and wasted completely my time by watching even the first half of the film,didn't have the strength to finish it.

i feel sorry for everyone who laughs at it
