Malarkey

I'm surprised that this film has such negative reviews and yes, I understand that if you've seen the trailer, you don't need to see the rest. The creators really screwed it up with the trailer, because they stuffed the best and most shocking parts into it and the rest, as if it didn't matter. Anyway, it goes by pretty quickly. 90 minutes is just right so that you don't fall asleep and learn everything you need for joy. I don't mind that the film copies here and there. Nor do I mind the fact that it ends the way it ends. Why should it. What matters is that it kept me on edge in the first half, shocked brutally in the beginning of the second, and then rode with tension until the end. I wasn't disappointed.

Classic independent American film, where the main role is played by a lot of human dramas written by life itself and romance that life cannot choose, which simply comes on its own. Maybe even in the morgue.

I was looking forward to it, and in the end, to my joy, only Kirsten Dunst remained. Melancholia is madness again after Antichrist, which enjoys abstract scenes. But I must say, I liked the normal Dance in the Darkness much more.

Where are those times when Walt Disney made movies about talking dogs or cats and everyone liked it. Today, it is necessary to pour money into a proper Walt Disney movie to have the best effects and the best actors. They succeeded in Pirates of the Caribbean, but it seems to me that only because they had good actors who played original characters and perfect environment. Here everything is average from a to z, except for the effects.

Uncompromising story, dominated by, to me at the time unknown, Dominic Cooper, knocked me down in the first few minutes. Such a story is not seen every day. A story set in Baghdad, telling about the disgusting life of one of Saddam Hussein's sons. This film actually captivates practically everything. The setting, the subject, the acting performances... Everything is so absolutely attractive and unusual that a more attractive and unusual film in the flood of today's films can hardly be found.

Excellent minimalist music composed by the unknown Cliff Martinez perfectly underscores the atmosphere of this currently incredibly frightening subject. It was nice, though, how many famous actors wanted to show us how quickly a malignant flu virus can spread. After some scenes, I even had a pretty disgusting feeling. The final scene, for example, along with the music, made such an impression on me as I haven't felt in a movie for a long time. Nevertheless, I was expecting anything from the movie. It was directed by Steven Soderbergh, who recently made me crazy angry with Che Guevara. However, this film cannot be boring. I was in suspense practically the whole time, mainly because I was looking at reality. Every scene was today's reality, which is happening, happened, or could happen. That makes it even more frightening. Matt Damon, Marion Cotillar, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Laurence Fishbourne showed me that reality incredibly frighteningly, and I had to think about it for a long time after it ended. Maybe next time I'll even give it five stars.

I didn't believe that the movie would actually be like the user predators wrote. Because everything that this movie promised me, actually turned out to be a disappointment. Uninteresting story, unremarkable landscape, one learns nothing about the lives of people in Patagonia. And it's true. The movie is divided into two storylines, one is more interesting, the other practically not at all. The landscape is barren, without anything, and the whole thing is wrapped up in two hours. I admit that after 40 minutes of the movie, I started doing anything to entertain myself because it couldn't capture my attention.

Subject great, America aware. Actors perfect, only Emma Stone disappointed me with her hairstyle. But that's okay. Everything works very well and I wouldn't have any reason to give less than four stars. The rating itself speaks for everything, by the way. However, despite how serious the subject is, the film managed to captivate me only in a few scenes that really begged for a serious situation. Everything else disgusted me immensely. The crazy time in the USA, the incomprehensible oppression. It had power in all respects, but I couldn't get used to those people... even though they delivered amazing performances.

Somewhere I recently read that Sherlock is the most frequently filmed literary character. How the hell can another adaptation of him into a series format make me happy, where there are only a few episodes, but each one lasts 90 minutes... and this time again from Great Britain? Surprisingly, it may well. When Sherlock is transferred to the present, it actually works and makes me watch more episodes. Because under the term Sherlock, I would imagine the 19th century and not the present and a man who is generally considered a lunatic. Anyway, it didn't interest me as much as I thought it could. Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock is great as well as Martin Freeman as Dr. Watson. The stories are also faultless, at times quite original, and I will continue to watch it. However, the rating for me is only four or more. It is still another Sherlock on the scene. I wish it was the last.

It is incredibly difficult to express myself about this movie when I saw the original one, Swedish. He actually managed to show me that David Fincher is an excellent director, that he can choose good music that can give the film a dimension, that he can choose excellent actors, who can excellently embody the characters from the book and moreover... can excellently say a few Swedish words like "takk" or "skol" or can speak English with such a completely natural Scandinavian accent. Well, the actors. Actually, I don't even know what David Fincher intended. To make another American film and present Sweden in it?... What if by any chance an American didn't know where Sweden is? Or to make a Swedish film, but only with English, or rather American actors? The film itself is good. There is nothing I would blame it for. But in the end, it has only one plus. And that's the actors. Everything else is just trying to surpass the original. But the original just can't be surpassed. Unfortunately. And it saddens me that a director like Fincher has tarnished his career by getting involved in something that has already been filmed once. Although, his problem. He has successors who can benefit from his films anyway, so what.
