Red Notice (2021)
I hate the GREEN SCREEN
The whole movie is made on GREEN SCREEN. It is so terrible.
Hollywood, please, stop making "big budget" movies, and use green screen. Leave it for TV series, but not blockbuster movies!
It is not watchable. Same like first Justice League. Horrible.
Dveselu putenis (2019)
Latvian actors are simply bad
So, all who gave 10 stars are Latvians. Sure, I am also, but I am objective.
The story overall and the book is great. No doubt there. The history is powerful as well, but let's keep to the movie.
Latvian actors are bad. Just simply bad. Main character was not even a proper actor before.
Due to bad dialogs, bad acting I could not connect to the movie. I know it is par of Latvian history and I wanted to feel connected to this movie, I had no emotional connection to none of the characters.
The budget and special effects are ok-ish. What I liked in the movie was death. I mean, when someone got shot - he died. Instantly. Not like Hollywood movie style - saying last words etc. Also the night after battle was powerful where soldiers have nightmare and could not sleep.
But bad acting kills everything.
For example - movie "We Were Soldiers". I have no connection to Vietnam war or Americans, but that movie got me, Mel Gipson and other actors touched my soul and I was sad, and emotional. This movie - nothing.
The Irishman (2019)
I loved it and hated it at the same time
Well, I have mixed feelings about it and hear me out here. The actors, movie, script, Scorsese are amazing in this film and made the best out of it.
Hovever I hated the fact that my belowed actors are old now and the story itself.
Here are examples of what I mean:
Everyone loved Godfather 1, did not liked so much Godfather 3 (I love all 3 parts). The story in par 1 is about youg Al Pachino who fights to get to top. Same for Scarface, same for other mob films. And that is engaging and interesting. Nobady watch a movie about old mafia bosses get even older. Name any other good mafia movie that is about old mafia bosses that get old?
And the important part - I hate to see Al Pachino and DeNiro old. I mean when DeNiro plays old man in any other movie, fine by me, love it, but mafia movie and still try to be tough guy? Same is with Arnold and Terminator. New Terminator sucks, because everyone wants to see young Arnie there, if he is old, it is painfull to watch, does not matter the story.
Well, these are my thought after the movie. It is great, but it left also a bitter taste afterwards.
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)
This movie is so bad, I had to Log-in in IMDB to write review
Yesterday I watched in cinema this movie. Ok, my expectations where low and I knew what I was signing up for. The last Fast & Furiouse movies where already bad, but this is new level of bad.
Movie is full of cheese motivational speeches. Full of bad cliche text and whatever comes out of actors mouth - you have heard or seen it already in other movies.
The ones who give 9-10 stars are probably working on that movie and they are standing at gun point to give these scores.
The movie has so much CGI, sci-fi and bad physics that even STAR WARS start too look as a documentary movie based on true story.
After 20 min in cinema, I could not wait to get to end and go for a beer to wash of the bad taste of this movie. Don't watch.
The Titan (2018)
Remember, the bad sci-fi movies from 80's? This is worse!
Remember, the bad sci-fi movies from 80's? This is worse! Why? In the sci-fi 80's movies there were at least boobs and some funny, hilariouse moments. This is just so bad. Sript makes no sence. Make-up is bad. There is almost no action.
I did not get the part on how one dude on Titan, could save the whole earth?!
Justice League (2017)
So much CGI that I did not understand, I am watching Toy Story or what?
Thigs that make this movie bad:
1) The CGI or green screen. There is so much, that I feel watching a cartoon - Toy Story or something. Please stop that!
2) Batman suit - just bad. That moment when he show his bruises it looks like he is vearing a batman T-shirt. Come one - Cristina Bale had an awesome Batsuit, where did it go? You throw it in the garbage?
3) Supermens CGI on mustache. It even sound ridicules.
4) Saving the world from aliens - again. If you are planing to make several movies, then start small. How about saving a neighborhood. Then move on to the city, then state etc. You can't start first film by saving the whole world. There is no much room for improvement. And what? Next movies again - saving world, again from aliens? Now all the superhero movies look so similar, there is an alien that wants to rule the earth. And there is a box that has all the power in the galactic. Next movie, same shit just different alien.
5) In Soviet Russia - there are no old American pick-ups. There are no pick-ups at all.
6) The cheesy texts that the curators say - com on... lame
7) Please stop making shitty movies and waste money and time. If you can't make a good one, then don't. Again, don't try to impress viewers with CGI, if I want good graphics, I play video game. I know, CGI makes special effects a lot cheaper, but then don't try to make it so huge.
