Werewolf by Night (2022)
Could have been so much more but still entertains
A rather short story that's rather entertaining to watch. It's also rather set like a drama from yesteryear.
The good:
Good way of setting the scene especially in black and white.
Good suspense and thriller.
Quick to develop characters.
Good use of sound.
The bad:
Too short that you don't really get to feel much for the characters.
The black and white setting was good, but the but of colour could have been used more to make certain elements (like monsters eyes) more impactful.
The Great elements weren't fully developed, so at times you almost get the 'Monsters Inc' feeling!
But overall a good way to spend an hour. Would give it 6 out of 10. Maybe there could be a part II.
The Harder They Fall (2021)
Don't believe the high ratings
A rather poorly directed, unbelievable story that's just too easy to forget.
The period movie just has too many inconsistencies.. modern tools and everyone's cloths being too clean.
Like a musical but worse..
The Guilty (2021)
Unnecessary remake of the Danish movie.
It's an ok movie Ritu a good plot.
The movie though it's an exact remake of a good Danish movie that was only releases 2 years ago.
Why even make this, as it's a word for word remake of the original.
I onde dager (2021)
Starts off funny then gets a bit boring and slow. Ends being just silly
The movie can't make up it's kind whether it's a comedy or cheap thriller. And trends up doing both rather badly.
Starts off promising and funny then just goes downhill.
Avoid.
Outside the Wire (2021)
What a load of nonsense was this
The year is 2035 but the tech is from 2010
The soldiers can't follow orders
The acting is bad, the scenarios are unrealistic, the situational awareness is just so poor.
The kid is either scared or making fun in the middle of a gun fight.
Don't waste your time.
One of the worst films I've watched recently.
Kate (2021)
Rather poorly written high action film
So many clichés..
Childish jokes
Non sensical storyline
Not bad action though..
More 3.5 rather than 4.
Intrusion (2021)
It's all rather predictable
It's ok,
Nothing special.
The plot starts unrevealing after about 15 mins in.
Could have been better.
The Suicide Squad (2021)
A horrible way to waste two hours!
What a stupid movie,
A story aimed at 8 year olds.
Action for 12 year olds
So many stupid clichés..
The jokes aren't funny.
Just don't bother, I'm doing you a favour, avoid this stupid movie, you will thank me later.
Black Widow (2021)
Over rated for what it is, a teenage movie
This surely can't be aimed at adults?
Rather poor movie, with so many lazy plots and cliche after another.
The Tomorrow War (2021)
Why make science look stupid
Ok for a below average action movie,
But at so many points science & logic are dumbed down.. is this to make it liked by idiots?
Ava (2020)
Bad directing and rubbish story
Found the directing to be something out of B movies, and the story was over the top.
The characters were not convincing, the fighting was so fake and bad.
The plot was being made up on the spot I think..
Don't bother
Ad Astra (2019)
This was annoying and boring
The film was taking science for joke, and the kit was laughable.
Why the sound proof room in Mars??
That shield trick, honestly??
Swimming in Mars?
Sneaking in to a sealed rocket ship during lift off!
Waste of my time, don't do it.
Buried (2010)
Film should have been finished in 15 mins..
Had too many flaws in the story, like keeping a lighter up to the phone when the phone screen has a back light..? Not using common sense..
Its an OK film, but it WILL bore you.
If you are a simple person who likes simple films and you don't think too much when watching a film, it will be fine for you. For the clever folks out there, you will see the flaws and won't like the film.
Story is not very good, continuity is not good, over acting spoils some of the emotions..
May be OK on a DVD release but not in the cinema.
Went to see it on day of release, wish I hadn't. Actually this film could have been an audio novel, no need for the video part!
