Lightyear (2022)
Good time-travelling sci-fi
Many other reviewers are disappointed as they axpected a comedy.
This is not a comedy, but instead a well created sci-fi with interesting twists and occasional small jokes to lift the mood.
I would rate it 7/10? My son (13) gave it 8/10.
Worth spending time on if you are into sci-fi.
Woyzeck (1979)
Go to the theater instead!
I had previously seen Tom Waits version of Woyzeck in the theater which I love, read the novel, which is equally good. Watching this 'classic' was a disgrace to movie lovers across the globe. I found the film cheap and mainly bought it because of Kinski I must admit. He does a good job in this movie, which just ends out being dull and long (though it isn't that long!). The scenes are built up as if you sat in the theater - long shots from one side, only with few closeups now and then. It felt to me as a waste of time, as I had hoped to watch Woyzeck THE MOVIE, not another run of a theater play. If you like Kinski, watch the movie to see his grotesque faces, if not - leave it alone.
Gladiator (2000)
Gladiator is way overrated
First I have to say I had not heard much of this movie before entering the cinema to watch it- my mind was open for anything that would come on screen for the next 2 hours or so. It was a disaster- a fatal disaster to watch this movie. I tried to live up to some distance period of "great-movie-making" but it all fell to the ground. The dialogue was cliche- the actors were medicore- the pictures was nothing special compared to what it wanted to be. The film really tried to "be something special." The mistake made was that it tried way to hard. There was no really flow in the movie, the sequences was put together as sequences and not as if they where made for the same movie.
I was disappointed and would never recommend anyone to go see this movie. Ridley Scott may have done it before but fails to do it again!
