Melancholia (2011)
A lot of feelings about this movie.. (only very light spoilers)
(Some Light spoilers!) :
I didn't really like the movie. It sure gave me a lot of emotions, most of which were very negative, after certain actions by the main character and her general act I really could not like her. So for the rest of the movie I was watching a main character I couldn't stand. If they actually gave some insight to why she was behaving like she was, maybe I'd resonate with her. But because they did not, I just felt disgust of the character the whole movie. It did succeed in making me emotional so if that is your metric for if a movie is good then it was, but as said, it was negative feelings about the characters and the story in general. Which even after bearing through a very slow movie until the end didn't really give any reason to care for those characters.
The visuals were pretty good, but let's be real, it's what you would expect with a high Hollywood budget. The movie felt very slow to me, and pretty much the whole movie felt like:
(general plot spoilers!) Okay, she's getting married, and then it's why did she even get married if she is going to be such a _____? And then it's, okay, so the planet is going to hit them obviously and for another hour of BS shallow and unlikable characters and unbearable slow pace with "thought-provoking" events and characters. (which seems to mean ridiculously silly and annoying). Then after an hour of "oh it's not going to hit", surprise to no one, it does, and except for a good emotional ending I guess, you just feel like you have wasted 2 hours of your life.
Conclusion: If you are impressed by slow pacing emotional drama and with good orchestras but with dumb characters who lack explanations of why they are acting annoyingly and dumb and a slow story which manages to fill 2 hours with pretty much nothing interesting. At least nothing interesting that isn't either stupid or annoying. Everything wrong with "thought-provoking" Hollywood is what is wrong with this movie, you can tell that all the writers, directors etc. Thought they were so smart with their emotional mess when in reality it's a very boring, extremely annoying and dumb movie, and for the record, I went in to this movie thinking it would be really good, so it's not that I went in with the same mindset I left with at all. Honestly, I am surprised that a movie could make me despise it so much while having over 7 on IMDB. If you haven't watched the movie yet, I implore you not to because I was you 3 hours ago. And I regret watching this movie. Except for the fact that I now know what a true dumpster fire of a "thought-provoking and intelligent" this movie is, and what that looks like for the future.
Why 4 stars and not 1? Well, it wasn't the worst movie I've seen and the visual and music was good, but it was boring, slow, annoying, dumb story, and made me quite angry at the dumb unexplainable/unexplained actions of the characters, another reason it was not lower is because I have to give it some praise for achieving in making me more emotional about a movie than I have been in a while, even if that emotion was disgust. Anyway, thanks if you read this long review. I initially wasn't intending for it to be this long, but I needed to explain why I disliked watching this movie. But honestly, I'm not even sure if this explained it very well, while there's a lot I disliked and got emotional about in this movie, there's also some quite good aspects. I suppose to truly understand this movie, you would have to watch it.
But 4/10. Would not recommend unless you want to get annoyed enough to write a review 664 words long.
Loki: The Variant (2021)
Really good all round, gets to the point, Let's hope they keep up this pace and marvelous quality (hehe)
OK another amazing entry to the series.
For the record i didn't really like the avengers movies and I'm not a marval fan boy, but this series been great so far.
At times I forgot it wasn't a movie, writing, acting and all that's just amazing. I don't know what the budget is for this series but I'm happy to tell you you aren't getting cheap drama between main characters that doesn't lead anywhere at least yet.
They mix character development, story development and action very well so you don't get bored but still don't get lost, I think that and the amazing effort of the involved makes this a very entertaining episode and series so far.
Ok so should a reader of this buy disney+ and watch this? Well you definetly should watch this, it is a huge improvment from any other super hero show I've watched, all round interesting, entertaining and fun, though there's only going to be 1 episode a week on disney+ so if you're gonna get disney+ don't only get it to watch this show.
(also depending on your financial situation maybe wait to get disney+ till all the episodes are out cus the 1 episode per week thing.) But i won't complain, at least at this point in time I'm pretty excited for wednesdays! Lol.
Into the Night: Terenzio (2020)
Good ending just one big problem
Spoilers:: i can't believe they killed terenzio, he's been there from the start and was such an interesting character but then he just goes and dies by some handcuffs and leaves an unlikable leader to lead the group and on top of that, his death removes the possibility of a lot of interesting encounters down in the bunker but whatever. Well rip terenzio you will be missed.
Busanhaeng (2016)
One of the absolute best zombie movies.
This is one of my favourite movies i've seen and even though it is in Korean and i don't speak Korean everything else in the movie massively makes up for that, from the story, to the thrilling moments, plot revelations, action, realism(as much as a zombie movie can have). it has it all. The movie is also not afraid to get rid of main characters and unlike movies like WWZ no main character has "Hollywood immunity " to getting infected and that makes the movie a lot more tense and exiting.
Definitely worth a watch if you like apocalyptic or zombie movies and even if those aren't your favourite movie categories i would still recommend this movie.
