Ready for the spin offs ?
Actors were great
Music was great
Scenery was great
CGI was great
Writting ruined all these good people's work.
Game of Thrones: The Last of the Starks (2019)
While I kind of forgot to give this a good review
The writers certainly reminded me to lower my expectation in the future.
The Lazarus Effect (2015)
Not what you'd expect
The first half of the movie is just simply amazing. There's a lot of good science talk and debates, some philosophy, the actors are great (got to love Olivia Wilde as always) and they make an amazing setup. I was extremely surprised of the score it got, because I would have rated a perfect 10/10 right then and there.
However, the second half of the movie was a disaster. It did get me startled a few times, but mind you I was very tired, and I was in a dark and spooky setting and decided that a horror movie would fit best. Most of the times it just left me wondering "Why ?". I found myself saying out loud "What the heck ?" and "Why did you do that ?". Nothing made sense in the second half. Well it did, but just a little bit. The most horrifying thing about this movie was a little voice in my head answering those questions with "to fit with the genre".
They could have done something really awesome with the idea of the movie, but no... they wanted horror and this makes me so angry I decided to lower my initial rating just now.
If I were you, I'd just watch the first ~35 minutes of the movie, then just imagine the rest of it. Even if your imagination takes you to aliens and crystal skulls, with rape and Rob Schneider I guarantee it is going to be much better than the second half of this film.
Jupiter Ascending (2015)
Terribly underrated. Spoiler at the end of review.
There is a psychological phenomena: people will more often than not change their opinions to agree with the majority.
In my case, I pushed this movie way down into my viewing queue because of all the awful reviews I read and the really poor scores. And then I watched it and I wasn't as disappointed as I expected to be.
The acting was not exactly brilliant: the actors didn't always make me feel the intensity of the action or the drama, but I have seen a lot of movies and this is not a 5/10. I hope I'm not breaking any guidelines by saying that I enjoyed this movie more than I ever enjoyed any of the Twilight movies, and they have the same damn score. The story is really interesting and the effects are decent (I really couldn't find anything wrong with them, as some reviews state, but I suppose it's more of a thing of taste). This movie has enough potential for a sequel if they fix the acting and stop focusing so much on the love story.
And here is the spoiler part: finally a movie where Sean Bean doesn't die.
