Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
How to ignore 75 years of history
Spoiler Alert
Isn't 1938, the world has changed, and our heroes with it, but they have souls, personality, depth, they're real as you and me, there a things that can't be changed, those who made then who they are, if removed, destroy the need for a film of those characters, and in BvS we don't see Batman, Superman or Luthor, just disfigured shadows of them.
The film is poorly directed, keep dragging until the climax, it's impossible to have any feeling about the characters, they are like robots, so the big time of the movie feels just like any other scene, heartless and cold. Sometimes feels like have been written by a child who read three or less DC comics, all the lines are supposed to be great, huge, like the cinematography, there's no simplicity, no real dialogue, just shouts, fists and ex machinas.
Batman is one the few things that aren't terrible, but only the visuals, the bad guy's face and incredible costume, when it comes to motives, detective work or the non-kill code, forget, nothing like any good comic Bats, not even like the fascist of Miller's Dark Knight, he goes way off the hero line, almost like a Punisher type.
Superman is the same of MoS, zero feeling about human life, does whatever it takes to save who he loves, end of history, egoistic and narcissistic, a bad joke, a shame to Alex Ross's complex and amazing man of steel, he is even worse than his Red Son persona.
Luthor looks like a B Joker, no mastermind here, just craziness and cracks. All the side characters are irrelevant, they are just there for the sake of being there, it's sad.
The film hits the geek spot sometimes, the cameos, the costumes, some of the visuals, but the CGI kills all of it when the ultra big time explosive end comes, feels like Michael Bay on steroids.
All of this is my personal opinion, from a guy who grew with gods on the skies and the best of men down on earth, my vision is outdated, the term hero to, isn't time for the underwear over the pants, capes are unreal, but there are 75 years of this, isn't better make a movie about new people? Why destroy all the ideals they create, in our grim world, hope and heroism would be nice for a change.
The Last Witch Hunter (2015)
What I Wanted to See
In a world where most of the films are boring and predictable, The Last Witch Hunter was a joyful surprise. Most of what i see, in the realm of non indie or non blockbuster, the Halloween or summer movies realm, is the same formula, and while TLWH relies on a old one, still manages to safe a few surprises in the plot, that i didn't expect, and there's what makes this a better entertainment than the others holidays films.
It's a movie where you can sit, watch, get some popcorn with your friends, and enjoy one nice evening on home or cinema. The acting is not the best from the actors, Michael Caine and Diesel are what the movies needs, and is where lies the goal of this flick, is not the best, but do what propose to, be a good time, there's nothing else we can complain about it, a good time movie is way better than a boring ultra deep, 3-hour, intellectual film that goes nowhere, and is easy to say that the enjoyable is worse than the art for the sake of art.
In the end of TLWH i was very satisfied, i wont remember forever, it wont won a Oscar, but the times i'm home ate Friday night with some friends, probably this will be in the list of movies that i mighty see, so don't mind the reviews, if you like some time without a urge to be smart and cool, grab a snack, see this film and enjoy what the entertainment world has to offer, entertainment.
