¿Dónde está Marta? (2021)
It could be so good
This documentary is a bit messy, but not as much as the real story.
A bunch of kids manipulating a whole justice system, changing their stories over and over and over and over, pointing fingers at each other and that poor family that only wants closure unfortunately didn't get it.. and still haven't got it. They still don't know what really happened and they still don't have their daughters remains.
There's a lot of things that were talked about in the documentary and not given importance. Like the knife that was found in the ditch. Ok it was found, proven that it's from one of the kids and then what? We don't know because it's never talked about again. He said the knocked Marta with an ashtray.. was the ashtray tested? Was it broken? Any trace of blood? We don't know because that's the only thing that was said "he used an ashtray and bashed it in her head". But then she was suffocated by a cord.. wait no, she was raped with a knife pointed at her.. wait, again, no.. she was bashed with a gun on her head. I think the truth will never come out for reasons we will also never understand.
And justice fails yet again.. only one person was convicted and just because he confessed to the crime, there were no proof that he did it. He'd probably be outside now if he didn't confess.
My deepest condolences for the family and friends. May one day the truth come out and you, finally, find some kind of peace.
Fabbricante di lacrime (2024)
The tear maker indeed
This is possibly one of the worst movies I have ever watched in my life.. Are these people even actors for real? The acting is sooo bad it hurts.
Everything is so obvious in the first 10 minutes of the movie. All scenes are so cringe it made me giggle. The court scenes are so bad that they made me laugh. I know it's based on a book, I never read it and never even heard about it so I can't compare, so my review is only based on what I'm watching. Yes I'm writing this while I
watch the final scene.. and that's never good.
The only good thing about this movie is the music.
Some books should just stay as books.
Road House (2024)
Oh my..
I feel bad for Jake Gyllenhaal for being a part of this mess. I don't even know where to start.. I watched the original one multiple times just because it was a typical 80's nonsense action movie, which were pretty awesome at the time, and I promise I went to this one not expecting to be the same, but wow.. this is WAY worse than I expected.
The only good acting is from Jake G, no surprise there, he's just good. Joaquim de Almeida and Daniela Melchior.. as a Portuguese person myself and knowing both of their work, I was disappointed, with Joaquim at least. And Conor McGregor.. oh my. I can't even. Even Post Malone did better than Conor and he's in like 5 minutes of the movie.
No One Will Save You (2023)
Poor reviews show who didn't understand it
I went to watch this movie not knowing what to expect. And I just loved it! One of the best Alien horror movies I've seen.
Clearly people who gave low ratings to this movie didn't understand a single thing about it and it's completely fine, it's not for everyone to understand :). The lack of dialogue makes it even better, it's all action and emotions showed through a great acting performance by Kaitlyn Dever, amazing how much she can say without saying a single word.
Do yourself a favor and go watch this movie, if you like sci-fi, aliens and horror. If not, don't bother. It's really not for everyone.
And the ending was brilliant.. who gets it gets it.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023)
Well.. the acting was good
My rating is purely for the acting.
A kid is being killed and no one reaches the lock through the hole the infected crew member opened with his head before?
They found Draculas crate, where he sleeps during the day. They already know the infected die with the sun.. and no one remembers to take the crate upstairs during day time? No let's do it the hard way.. try to get him when he's strong.. during the night, with guns that don't do anything to him and get all killed. The end.
It could be a really great movie, the plot was good and a great addition to the Draculas universe, but so many poor choices.. The acting was really good though.
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
Don't know what I just watched
I feel really bad for this amazing cast! I mean.. Hemsworth, Bale, Portman, Thompson.. How can you have such amazing actors and deliver such a poor movie? Bale was incredible and the rest just worked with what was given to them. The only scene that was ok to watch, for me, was when they are captured in the Shadow place..
And who wrote the "jokes"?! So flat and so many!!
I love Marvel movies and this was the first one I wanted to leave in the middle. I'm sorry guys but this one was just ridiculous.
My 4 stars are just because I feel bad for the actors and for the visual effects that were good.
Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area (2022)
Why?
The great thing about the original was the wow factor, all the strategies, all the twists.. well what happens when you make an (almost) exact copy of the original is that you lose all of that.. that surprise effect just isn't there.. So what's the point? Just to have a Korean version.. ok, but why? I'm a fan of kdramas and I just don't understand why.. Oh one thing they didn't copy was Tokyos sass, no sassyness there..
Anyway.. the acting was good. Breaking rules in kdrama - YES, both thumbs up for that!! And the stunts are acceptable.
Even Denver's funny laugh.. come on guys!
Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021)
You clearly did not play the game
This one is awesome!
People who gave low ratings clearly didn't play the games.. The first ones, I mean! Please at least play the first two ones and you'll know what I mean. Don't compare it to the other Resident Evil movies, please don't. They are no way near as good as this one.
I'm not saying it is absolutely perfect, it's not. But it's way better then the other movies.. and finally a good adaptation of the game.
F9 (2021)
Enough is enough
I don't event know why I watched this, but I did..
In my opinion it should have ended 3 or 4 movies ago! It's not even about the cars anymore, when it was it was sooo good, and then all the exaggerated stunts and bad guys turn into good guys but still are bad guys just blew it for me. And when I thought it wouldn't get more ridiculous.. guess what? It does.. they go into space.. in a car.. built by the guys from Tokyo Drift.. and out of nowhere Han is alive?! Oh and in 8 freaking movies not a single mention of the existence of another Toretto brother?! I kinda feel bad for Charlize Theron :/
Oh and who the hell told you guys that Portuguese and Spanish are the same language?! Portuguese is Portuguese and Spanish is Spanish! Please do your research when messing with other languages.. it's a bit offensive (I'm Portuguese)
Please.. just stop making this movies, enough is enough.
Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021)
What did I just Saw?
This is so bad it hurts, it's really offensive actually!
Chris Rock always looks like he's staring at the sun. If you took a shot everytime his acting was bad, you would be drunk in 6 minutes.
I can't even...
Army of the Dead (2021)
Where to start?
Major spoilers ahead!
So I saw the trailer and was excited about this one.. it's started ok, subtle funny moments, the story was kinda developing into something interesting (my 4 stars) but then everything went downhill..
The daughter is the stupidest character ever! Every decision she makes is bad and basically gets everyone killed in the movie.. except her! So you risk everyone's lives to save your friend and your friend dies anyway, ok..
And how the hell did Van get out of the closed vault?! How did he get bitten if he was inside the vault and when got out (still a mystery how he did that) all the Zs were dead?! Ok maybe during the fight with the king.. a bite no one saw.. moving on.. And why did it take him sooo long to turn? Others turned in minutes.. he got out of the vault, wondered in the desert, went to the bank and took a flight.. Almost 2 and a half hours of my day wasted.
Run (2020)
So predictable
The only good thing about this movie is the acting! Both leading ladies were awesome and the only reason for my 5 star rating.
Too many plot holes and sooooo annoyingly predictable!
The Queen's Gambit (2020)
Just.. Wow
I don't usually rate movies or series 10.. but this one, oh my God.. I would rate it a 20 if I could. Absolutely amazing shooting, the photography, the clothes.. and Anya was born to this part.. damn girl - perfection!
I used to play chess when I was younger, stoped playing because no one liked to play, so without anyone to play with I simply stoped.. this show brought that inner nerd back, I bought a new board and I started playing again.. so, thank you for that!
And great job putting the book into screen!
The New Mutants (2020)
Not the worse.. not the best
Well I mean.. I had high expectations for this one, but it kinda saddens me to say I was a bit disappointed. And then I saw the deleted scenes and I really don't understand why they were deleted, if not, I think I would enjoyed it a bit more. Okay.. I absolute love Anya Taylor-Joy and I think she was the best to portray Magik, all her scenes were great! The main character and Maise's character were a bit nhe.. the boys..well they had to be there.. although they didn't quite add anything to the movie.. and poor Alicia Braga character was so boring.
I won't say do not watch this movie.. but I will say lower you expectations and you will enjoy it :).
The Craft: Legacy (2020)
What the.. ?
I really don't know what I just watched! I saw The first movie when it came out and was really excited for this sequel.. but what the hell just happened here? Zero character development, the story.. there is no story besides the fact she somehow is connected to one of the first movie characters and probably that was the only thing that made me watch this disaster till the end.. to see Nancy again.. for about 2 seconds.. in the whole movie.. yeah..
So many holes.. how was Helen connected to Nancy? Who or what was that Adam guy? He has a family crest with a snake and a knife.. cool.. and that's about it, all you get to know about this guy.. oh and he has 3 sons that are like just there.. adding zero to the movie (that scene where one of them is apparently sleep walking in Lily's room.. ???) What's the background on the other girls (I cant even remember their characters names, that's how good it was)? They were supposed to be the main characters.. When I saw "legacies" I was expecting that the girls were connected to the originals.. in some way.. but no, not even a tiny mention of them. Aaaand how did Nancy got pregnant if she was locked up in an asilum all this years?!
I just can't.. I'm sorry guys, but this one shouldn't exist.. :(
Step Up China (2019)
Yasss for Jade!
The movie is very bad! Cringy baaaad.. the dance is okay, the story nheee.. I enjoyed the first choreography by the Sky Crew (in the end, against Phantom and Black whatever their name was crew) and last battle tho.. I mean, Jade Chynoweth is awesome.
The other Step Ups don't have a super cool or different story, but I didn't feel bored watching them.
I loved the idea of bringing other language and culture to the scene.. please watch foreign movies in their original language, not dubbed!
47 Meters Down: Uncaged (2019)
My head hurts
I think this is the worst movie I've ever seen in my life! My head hurts so bad with all the screaming teens that decided it was cool to dive into caves.. and of course there's always one that is more stupid then the others, the one you root that dies first!
And how the hell do they hear each other underwater without ear plugs or anything?! Their ears are outside the masks.. and underwater music? Come on!
Adding to all this.. blind sharks that somehow evolved in caves.. ok, I think that's enough to help you decide either you watch this or not ;).
The Tax Collector (2020)
Not even Shia saved it..
One star for the music and one star for Shia acting skills, perfect as always.. too bad his character had almost zero development and when you finally think "ok here we go, good stuff coming"(I was really hopping for a clash between him and the crazy girl, that I can't even remember her character name..) no, no good stuff ever came!
So very disappointing!
Get Even (2020)
My star is for the music
My one star is only for the music.. and I could only watch 2 episodes.. well I really couldn't even finish the second one. So, so bad..
The Old Guard (2020)
It is ok to have powerful female characters
As I go through the opinions it's very clear which ones are from men.. Why is it a problem that there's a movie with powerful female characters? In 10 action movies, 1 has a female leading character, girls can be tough too and not for a second I felt men were being useless in this movie, just chill guys - you kinda still run the show in this.
This movie is great! Enough action, enough story telling, character development and a cliffhanger that let me wanting more! Loads of diversity in the cast.. I truly enjoyed it and can't wait for the sequel. Please ignore the poor reviews (everyone is entitled to an opinion, of course, and it wouldn't be fun if we all liked the same things ;). )
Solum (2019)
I can't even..
I was really looking forward to seeing this movie. I am Portuguese and I was excited that this was a Portuguese movie made. But.. oh my God, I really can't even express my disappointment.. poorly made, the story makes no sense, there's zero character development, almost zero explanation for what the hell was going on.. and the acting.. cringing.. there's so many talented Portuguese actors (I mean.. Diogo Morgado is one of them), and this was just very disappointing.
Still kinda proud that Diogo directed a movie though :). Aaaand the beautiful Azores! Stunning photography! My 2 stars are for these 2 reasons.
[Rec] (2007)
Awesome
It's been a wile since i've seen such a jumpy horror movie.. And the use of only one camera makes it even better, it really works for me, makes it even better.. Kinda it really happened! Of course the Americans had to make a remake (Quanrantine) i hope it's equally good. Just wont make the same impact to those who already seen this one.. Spoiles the fun, the only difference may be the language, or hopefully not..wish it gets more scarier and jumpy then Rec! I like it better when there's no star in it.. it makes it more realistic. Awesome ending, awesome story. Piece of advice.. don't watch it at night..don't watch it alone! Only if your heart is cold as ice..=) Enjoy..
Step Up 2: The Streets (2008)
Congrats to the Choreographers
My vote (10) is to the dance of course! Well basic story but.. the dance was WOW can't stop watching it! For those,like me, who love to dance i really recommend that u watch this. The most amazing choreography I've seen lately, great dancers, new moves, not boring at all! And the soundtracks are insane, in the greatest way possible!! Congrats to the "Kingreographers" Jamal Sims, "Hi Hat" Ruffin and Dave Scott.. You really went of the chart with this one, awesome finale.. And i mean both crews finale.. Don't know what else to say, i really liked the music, the dancers, the moves! It's my passion so.. I'm working on it =)! I bet when u watch this movie all you'll want to do is get up and start dancing!
Bring It On: Again (2004)
Small, kinda of funny..But nothing special about it!
Well i liked the first one Bring it on, I mean, Kirsten Dunst, Eliza Dushku and Gabrielle Union..at least we know who they are and they rock on that movie..! Great music, great moves! Bring it on again..well one hour and a half, small, the story : cliché, some funny parts..really nothing special. It's a good movie to watch on a Sunday afternoon with your grandparents :)! Just kidding.. I'm just trying to say that this sequel is not very good. Makes me wanna say maybe they should just stop on the first one and everybody would be wow nice movie, know what i mean? I haven't seen the third one. But if it's something like this one, i rather not.. I liked the last performance by the renegades. I mean, trough the movie they suck, but in two days..wow awesome! Go renegades :P!
