Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)

Perfect finale

[10/10 · 28 October 2023]

This is the best happy ending finale from Marvel. Best from Marvel MCU. Well constructed story since Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 ends with perfect ending. Rocket himself made us adorable funny character since the Vol 1.

Many sense with him were heart touching. I guess best movie scenes I saw is rocker the with his three friends, Lylla, Floor and Teefs. Even they are not humans that made us cry.

Music is perfectly match with scene. It's hard to find a series of movies with perfect ending because when movies goes famous they made plotless movies to retrain the publicity and earn money. But this is perfectly crafted.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)

Waste of time

[3/10 · 20 April 2023]

I gave 3 stars because of the acting of Paul Rudd. I believe this is a total failure for Mavel Studios. This is like Mavel version of Wonder Women to me.

If the Mavel Studios also continue on this path then they will loose their hard earned fan base.

I don't like to criticize anyone. But acting of the young actress is very poor. No facial impressions or body impressions at all.

Directors and writers of this movie should understand how people are waiting to see for the next Mavel movie for month to get entertained. Enjoy it , discuss about it. But this is like Alice in wonderland.

Not sure they intended to add humor to the movie. But when you add humor where you have to be serious then it is a failure. This is not a dead pool movie that you can do like that.

Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom (2019)

Truth about South Asian nations

[10/10 · 20 April 2023]

Simple predictable story. But it presented in the way that keep the audience sit down and watch until the end. As per some comments ending is not clear. However, I believe ending gave the message that they intended to deliver.

Movie explains how isolated , rural living looks like and how the people in those areas lower their expectations and live happily.

But the people in urban areas who has ability to see the world things happiness is something else and make their life complex.

Most of the youth in south Asia dreaming about moving to western countries and they think that it is the ultimate happiness that they can get.

People in those remote areas doesn't have electricity or vehicles. However, still they manage to do their day to day tasks and most importantly they life happily. But young people don't understand it until you experience that life.

This movie represents real situation of those countries and skill migration problem of those developing countries.

7 Toughest Days (2023– )

Is this a survival show?

[2/10 · 23 March 2023]

Everything was staged.

If you watch only first few mins of the show you will realize that.

On first episode he was going to fell down from the waterfall and act like he doesn't know there is a water wall. But his camera crew was next to the waterfall and filming that.

I gave 2 stars because those are extreme environments. However, nothing to learn if you want to learn wilderness survival or bush craft from this.

If the people trying to imitate this show then they will be in great danger. So better to recategorize this show as just entertainment and not as adventure or survival show.

If you want to check real survival challenges then check Ed Stafford's shows.

The Greatest Beer Run Ever (2022)

This movie tells the stark reality of modern warfare

[10/10 · 4 October 2022]

I believe this movie delivers strong message to the blind modern society about the war.

If you read some low rated comments then you will realize how the common people are blind with government agendas to massacre innocents.

Review section is perfect example for how modern people think what war is but not the reality behind that.

That's what war is, Chick. It's one giant crime scene.

This says all.

Hat's off legendary director, "Peter Farrelly" to be brave enough to deliver this infamous but stark reality to the common society.

I believe the acting craw did their duties well to make it entertaining.

This movie remain underrated. But that doesn't mean this movie is not a movie not worth to watch.

The Newspaper (2020)

Perfect , but not for the common spectators

[10/10 · 21 August 2022]

We can name this movie as one of the master piece of Sri Lankan movies industry.

Every seen , every dialog has a very deep meaning of the crisis, the social pattern, rural life, real city life of Sri Lanka.

Since the dialogues are limited only the true spectators who have deep understanding about the society can only understand the full movie and the message delivered from the movie.

As I can see from the other comments, it was downgraded because of lack of understanding in common society problems in Sri Lanka. Usually that's the nature of Sri Lankas. They should be spoon fed to understand their common problems.

That's what I see as the down side of this movie. So probably It's not for the super human movie fans.

Home2Home (2022)

Great Travel Log

[9/10 · 3 August 2022]

Inspiring journey by young Dennis who took risk of his life to complete once in a life time adventure.

However, movie was produced only keeping mind of general audience.

But the audience of this movie is not general..

If the movie was for 4hrs I bet this sector of audience will watch until the last. They are interested to see the diversity of this world. See the true beauty and life styles.

If the Dennis showed how he replace flat tire every time I bet audience won't complain about that. They need to enjoy the real 761 days journey.

I'm sure their expectations won't match this because everything kept to nutshell.

This is not the type of movie that you should produce for travel community.

I gave my rating for his effort, not for the movie.

The Beast of War (1988)

When Russians start to speak English?

[1/10 · 3 June 2022]

I gave up watching film when I saw the Russians speak in English. Lol.

No one feels sympathy for Afghans after 9/11. This is 80's propaganda and not valid for today.

If you want to create war films like this you can create 1000's of these movies to show that Americans are killing innocent people (I doubt even children are innocent who usually equipped with AK 47) like this.

The Northman (2022)

Waste of time

[2/10 · 27 May 2022]

I usually watch only movies with 7+ rating. This is a waste of time. Not sure how people reviewed this.

Even the fighting scene are boring. If this was made in 70's this may get some rating.

Everything is poor.

Totally a waste of time.

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Childish

[1/10 · 30 December 2020]

Her rope can catch thunder and clouds. lol. Even the visual effects are very poor. May the the production team might think they also need to use technology in 1984. What a waste of time.

The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet (2013)

Master piece from Jean-Pierre

[10/10 · 20 November 2020]

By winning several awards this movie shows the quality of the storyline. One of a kind movie that describes how kids minds works which we all need to aware about as parents. It's really amazing to see how the director presents the storyline and the visual effects used for that. Even though the kid is genius is a movie is showing us the actual family story individually following up their dreams and way of living as per their dream. Hats of all the people supports to make this a master piece.

1917 (2019)

Overrated Movie

[6/10 · 23 March 2020]

As many mentioned 10/10 should go to the cinematography. I believe many rated high because of this reason. However, story line and the presentation is not strong enough to get beyond 6 stars from me. When taking about the acting facial expressions are poor. Director focus on the backgrounds of the scenes not on the faces of the actors.

Green Book (2018)

Viggo you rocks

[10/10 · 23 April 2019]

Movie that I have seen for a while that has actors with 100% perfect acting specially Viggo. Movie contains with regular life of colored people and their social issues. How people were treated by white people earlier. Best movie watched after hidden figures described or shows us about the diversity. Thanks Peter Farrelly to make a absolute touching movie.

The Last Boy (2019)

Director has to explain scientific phenomena in next movie

[7/10 · 23 April 2019]

Good movie and new concept as a Sci-Fi movie.Seems like there is a part 2 of this. However, this movie belongs to Sci-Fi category the director has to explain about the scientific phenomena behind the scene. Otherwise I will give 0 points to this movie because it should be belongs to fantasy.
