Prometheus (2012)
Truly inspirational movie
The script was so bad, after watching the movie you find yourself contemplating to fix the moronic script, if you got inspired so much as I did, you may even find yourself rewriting the all script. After seeing screening duration which is ''two hours'' I asked myself this question ''how the hell will this movie fulfill my philosophical expectations on the origins of mankind just in two hours?''. well it can't and won't. The origins of mankind is just a brilliant motto to market a cheap story, acting and directing even if Scott is a true master. Probably they will try to resell this bullshit with director's cut or extended cut release , viewers can actually find the answers they look for in these DVD's ,but I AM NOT GOING TO BUY IT , CUZ ALREADY PAID FOR IT WHEN I GOT THE TICKET!!! Sorry but I am not a 10- dollars bill to be picked up by a money greedy Hollywood tycoon. Well they did once, but not going to be ripped off twice, at least not on this one. IMDb must add 0 point to the vote, this one really deserves it. i still wonder if the robot was smarter than the scientists ,and he could understand and operate alien tech within a time frame of seconds, why would the ultra rich bastard hadn't taken 17 robots on board rather taken 17 idiots with him? something is SO WRONG WITH THIS MOVIE...
Insidious (2010)
Scary but, not that scary
I think the first half was very promising and scarier than the second half. Since first 40 - 50 minutes of the movie is built upon horror movie tradition, ,and working great in the sense of horror genre (haunted house, possessed little boy, etc ). Unfortunately director destroys the first half in the second half, simply taking an unorthodox approach to the genre. Basically what he did was he turned horror icons upside down, for example he tried to scare audience with shots taking place in almost sunny daytime ,or he used a group of characters even in the most scary moments rather than one helpless character. The problem here is when you see daylight or a bunch of people screaming around you don t get scared because you fell safe. When you fell safe while watching a horror movie, you don t attach yourself to the characters and fell any empathy for them. Also the technological stuff that the characters used to bridge between our physical world and nonphysical world wasn't exactly working as it was supposed to , in fact i believe many people find it funny, maybe the director actually used it to ridicule the genre he played with. Anyway I'd say, the movie is OK, it sometimes scared me sometimes I found it very funny (evil make-up was Ridiculous). I think, the director deliberately mixed horror icons with unusual elements to surprise the audience more ,but I don't know why he wanted some funny stuff in his movie. I'd recommend this movie to horror fans who look for something different, but i can't say i myself enjoyed much.
Kurtlar Vadisi: Filistin (2011)
cheap script produced with a super-high budget
I think if someone wanted to write a script without using his/her brain, he or she would be able to write something no worse than this one. I give it a 5 out of 10. 5 for its production value which is stunning for a Turkish action movie ,and 0 for having nothing else but action. Unfortunately movies need a story to be shot, but this one was shot only for its action scenes. Someone compares this with Munich in way probably you would compare a cucumber to a peach... The conclusion I drew from the movie is that KVF is a cruel exploitation of a real tragedy. Because the situation there is a human issue rather than simply good vs evil. Beware this movie's ill-ideology (being oppressed justifies violent actions),and enjoy it bearing this in mind that it is nothing more than a movie made to fill some people's pockets.
Kosmos (2009)
Couldn't Bear it More than an Hour
I think the director was so obsessed with the underlying theme, he forgot about the story needs to be on the screen. I gave it 5 out of 10, because I don't know what happens in the second half. But from what I've seen in the first half, I know not much is on the way.
I think this is one of those movies in which the theme is so complex (philosophical) that even the actors can't get it. A good movie needs to have a good story that can be followed by an average audience ,and needs to have mind challenging subtext for more complex viewers. In case sub text precludes the story, I'd say it might be a better idea to write a philosophical book ,since such a load of ideas can not be gotten across audience via a movie through two hours. Second, movies must have story , when the subtext comes in the first place in terms of importance, this also obliterates the reason for making a movie.
New York'ta Bes Minare (2010)
Very Bad Movie
I don t know where to start, the premise is really promising ,but after the first 15 minutes , it becomes a mixture of everything. I think the director keeps repeating the same mistakes he had done before. I understand and really respect his sensitivity on contemporary issues ,but putting all his social , political etc concerns in one movie doesn't really make a movie. Since he wants to say too many things , the movie is overloaded with messages which only contribute nothing more than a mess of two hours. Especially it becomes unbearable when the messages are sent with over-dramatization and weak storyline.
The only positive thing I can say about the movie is the shots. The shots are composed beautifully. Finally I'like to make a few humble suggestions to the director. Please don't try to make us cry ,and please focus on the main theme, I couldn't relate the way the story starts and how it ends. You may want to make something close to real life as much as possible ,but stories are not working that way, you need to give up on things that are not needed in your own story.
I needed to edit my review after reading some of things said by users here. I realize Many users praise either the intention behind the movie or the message it tries to get across. Unfortunately neither of these should stand alone to make a conclusion on whether it is good or bad. I loved the idea too ,but I didn't like the movie due to the distracting factors. And one user said only people related to some religious kind of organizations can make such negative comments on it. i say only a very narrow-minded person can make such a comment.
Unthinkable (2010)
Sophisticated Subject matter, Superficial Filmmaking and Market Success
This is one of those films which try to deal with a very serious subject matter , to provoke questions in audience's minds ,and to give the all answers to the questions provoked. Frankly the way filmmakers made this movie provoked me to ask a lot more questions than the questions rose in the movie.(THIS MIGHT BE A SPOILER) What I understood the premise was ''how far can a state go to prevent a clear threat from its citizen''. What I ended up was ''.As long as there is a justification ,ill actions can be justified. Of course moronic bad guy deserved all kind of inhuman treatment ,since he was planning to take thousands' lives ,and I can't see why the idea is so brilliant ,since on a smaller scale ,this is called self-defense.
(MORE SPOILER) Now my questions are that the filmmakers really had to use stereotypical bad Muslim guy to get their message across, or did he really had to be a converted westerner who deeply sympathize with the sufferings of those who experience the war. Why would filmmakers need such a stereotypical character ,because it would be more relevant to contemporary religious, cultural and political issues??? Why would bad one need to explain his own reasons to blow up innocent people, why would this character planned to endure inhuman treatment in Jesus-like way, maybe to make the others care about what he is saying? He seemed to long for a peace ,if so, why would he place bombs rather than just bluffing anyway? what was his motivation. Let me tell you something his motivation wasn't necessary since he acted exactly the same way an antagonist does, and make the audience lose his/her sympathy for him. In other words, we forget about what he was saying and focused on this sick man's behavior. So what we have in the end is a nothing more than a movie avoiding to conflict with dominant political power and a movie ready to be consumed in its cultural market.
Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (1975)
The first snuff movie i have ever seen
I can t understand how a filmmaker can use such a delicate subject matter in order to cover up his own sexual sickness. I bet he characterized himself by means of these sick characters in the movie. if you think that you have read the subtext and understood it ,I am sorry but, all you did was mind masturbation or maybe time to think about ethical aspects of art.
if snuff stuff disgust you, don't watch this one ,since it has lots of stuff ranging from raping, pee-drinking, poop-eating to masturbation, homosexual-ism and torture all of which were filmed almost in an pornographic manner( if you think it s a porn or horror movie; it is not!!!!).
Frankly, what I have seen did not disgust me, since everything was 2- dimensional from the very beginning to the end and The story was revolving around the same plot. Particularly my favorite scene was the moment two lesbian victims who had been subjected to sexual assault and above-mentioned inhumanity for 120 days were having sex. Wowwww!!! imagine you are tortured, raped, forced to eat excriment and drink , in other words, someone filled every single hole on your body (you know What I mean)for every single day and you are still thinking of orgasm. wow, wow, wow!!!
If you wanna see the dark side of human nature, go and see Klimov's Come and See. That is real madness that you can feel to your bones not to your dick or cl-it.
