I stopped watching after the first few scenes. What annoyed me the most was that heavily armored military truck exploding from colliding with an old beat-up car. Really? That's how the first zombie gets released? Wow.

Such a great episode
10 November 2019
This is probably the best special the trio has ever done, including the old Top Gear episodes. It has it all: astonishing landscapes, a cool car, adventure, and humor. To top it all off, Jeremy shares bits of trivia about Mongolia throughout the episode that actually fit the setting perfectly.
Well done!
Well done!
Worst writing possible

The right plot, horrible execution
14 May 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I'm pretty sure this is the finale GRRM planned all along. A few seasons ago Dany had a vision of a dragon flying over King's landing and the throne room laying in ruin with ash falling from the sky. But the execution of this plot line was horrible in the show!
I really hope GRRM will finish his last books and shows us how it should have been done.

Black Panther
(2018)
It's good. It's similar to the other Marvel movies
17 February 2018
As a Marvel fan I expected this movie to delve into the details of where the vibranium came from, why it has special properties, the origin of the Black Panther, and whether the Soul Stone was in Wakanda or not.
But they didn't go in that direction. Instead they focused on character development. Which is great. That is what most superhero movies lack.
All the characters experience growth and change their beliefs as the story advances. With that said, the story is generic, just like most other Marvel movies. The villain's motivations are not explored enough to really care about him and the story is very predictable.
All in all, it's a good movie. Overhyped but stil great.

Need for Speed
(2014)
What else did you expect?
15 March 2014
I walked in the cinema expecting fast cars, street racing, crazy cop chases, drifting and explosions and that's exactly what I got!
This film is called "Need for Speed" and is based on a video game. This alone tells us not to expect character development, genius plot twists and memorable dialogues. This films delivers exactly what it set out to deliver.
If you like fast and beautiful cars, this is for you. If you like crazy stunts and cars chases, this is for you. If you enjoyed getting chased by the cops in the video game, this is for you.
Go to the cinema expecting the above and you'll have an excellent time.

The Grey
(2011)
a bad replica of "The Edge"
5 April 2012
Warning: Spoilers
There are so many thing wrong with this film I don't even know where to start.
Firstly, the story is bad. It lacks depth in such a way that you don't even feel sorry for the characters when they die. An attempt to make us connect with the main character was tried but it was a failure in my opinion. I never really understood why Jhon Ottway wanted to kill himself, neither have I understood the relationship between him and the girl he kept on seeing. The acting is as good as it can be in such a film... All the characters are cold and frightened all the time and that is not really a surprise.
Secondly, it is truly unrealistic. What annoyed me the most was the lack of attention to details. The snow never melted on their face, a single stick burned with a flame, all the "fighting" scenes took place at night so you can't see anything etc. In addition, wolfs don't behave like that. After they kill a wolf: " It's an Omega. They sent him to test you." Really? And the thing that almost made me walk away was the fact that the wolf were always there when someone was in trouble. There were other things, such as: the inexistence of hypothermia after he got out of the river, the idiotic jump from the cliff to the tree etc.
After all that, I expected a good ending at least... Did I get it? That depends on how you look at things. At first I was disappointed but then I found out there are a few extra seconds bonus after the credits. It made it a little bit better.
I do not recommend The Grey mostly because I had great expectations from it. Watch The Edge instead. 2/10*

Johnny English Reborn
(2011)
Funny but annoying
26 January 2012
You know that kind of film when you see an opportunity for things to go wrong and you pray it won't happen? Yes, this movie is like that.
There were multiple occasions when I said in my mind: " Please, just don't do that" or " I hope that doesn't happen " only to be disappointed by the filmmakers. It got to a point where not only the scene wasn't funny it was annoying.
But if you ignore that ( I certainly could not ) this is an enjoyable film. On a side note, I loved the first Johnny English, I watched it 5+ times and I knew the sequel couldn't possibly be better. I had low expectations and I am glad I did. Still, English humor is my favorite kind.
5/10. ( annoying situations )

Casino Royale
(2006)
Not a classic Bond film ? Thank God
23 January 2012
Warning: Spoilers
SPOILER ALERT
Unless you are a serious James Bond fan you will love this film!
I see this movie has A LOT of bad reviews from angry Bond fans. They hate that the filmmakers have played around with their beloved classic James Bond and the gadgets and the girls etc.
I am 17 years old. As you can imagine I haven't watched all the other 20 movies except the ones with Pierce Brosnan. And I hated them! The stupid gadgets might have been cool back then but now days the audience is accustomed with state of the art technology and they would no longer be impressed. In fact they would have found a lot of reasons why that gadget should not work in the first place!
In my opinion this film is better than the others because: 1. No more stupid gadgets ( invisible car, laser watch etc) 2. Younger, stronger, better looking, colder James Bond played beautifully by Daniel Craig 3. No more stupid quotes after Bond kills someone. 4. Bond is no longer invulnerable to everything. 5. Some say that Craig over-played his role. But if you know anything about body language and psychology you would realize that is not true. Craig plays the ideal Bond character to perfection. 6. Bond is finally a bad ass and a gentleman at the same time.
How can you say you got bored during the poker game?!?! I loved how during the breaks between poker he would got beaten up so bad, almost killed only to come back to the poker table looking as good as ever. Or how he ordered the drink. Or how he got up from the table only to go and kiss the girl.
LOVED IT! 10/10

The Usual Suspects
(1995)
Boring!
18 January 2012
Warning: Spoilers
I don't remember anything from the movie and for a good reason. I fell asleep 5 times as I was watching this and I was sitting in an uncomfortable chair. I can't believe the good reviews I read about this movie! I can't believe it's rating either.
I gave it 2 starts for the humiliating moment when that guy puts out the fire that Keaton started with his urine and for the ending. Now the ending is another thing. It is considered one of the best endings ever! Why? I simply don't get it. So what if the crippled was the murderer? Big surprise, the movie was lying to you all along so how could you have even think about him? Anyway I don't recommend it but it's your choice.
2/10

Drive
(I) (2011)
Watch it BEFORE you watch the TRAILER!!
18 January 2012
Warning: Spoilers
*******SPOILER ALERT*******SPOILER ALERT******** WATCH this FILM BEFORE you watch the TRAILER!!!!! This film is amazing but so many people just don't get it. They expect a Fast&Furious movie because it is called Drive. They don't understand the character and the fact that he is so quiet all the time is part of the mystery. Instead they call this bad acting and directing flaws.
I recommend this movie but only to those who are prepared to keep and open mind.
If you expect a normal action movie with explosion and a lot of car chases then Drive is not for you. I think the studio made a big mistake with the trailer. Not only it gives away half of the action but it makes the views have the wrong expectations.
This is my first review on IMDb 10/10
