Overlord (2018)

Belic movie with a touch of terror

[6/10 · 10 November 2018]

Although it is classed as terror it is mostly a belic movie with just a hint of terror in it. All in all, worth the time.

Mother! (2017)

Fantastic experience!

[8/10 · 10 November 2018]

Weird experience in the best possible way. Will keep you on the edge of your seat all along.

Sausage Party (2016)

Food with a pretty bad taste

[2/10 · 9 November 2018]

Full of racial stereotypes and sexual references. This is the dumbest movie I remember.

Hunter Killer (2018)

Just got what I expected

[6/10 · 1 November 2018]

This movie is a so-so one within the genre. Expect silly dialogues, action and a not very worked out plot (where did the infiltration team got scuba suits?). All along if you enjoy the genre it does not disappoint.

Hereditary (2018)

Interesting movie, might watch again

[7/10 · 1 November 2018]

Although the first hour is really slow, the movie got me interested till the end. No jumpscares or bloody-bath scenes, it relies on the ambient it creates and the interesting plot to get you through the length of the film.

Might watch again because I had a feeling I had missed some things after I saw it.

The Disaster Artist (2017)

The Room costed over 6M $?

[4/10 · 27 October 2018]

Watched this after "The Room" and the most shocking fact was realising the original movie costed over 6M dollars... I thought that was a low budget movie at most a few thousand dollars budget.

About this movie, nothing substantial except the interpretation of James Franco. For the rest pretty dull and boring movie to just get into the making of The Room.

The Room (2003)

Not that bad, after what I've been told...

[6/10 · 26 October 2018]

It's a low budget movie, alright. The scripting and acting are a little bit cheesy at times but overall is a decent movie within the genre.

Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)

Great summer movie!

[7/10 · 7 July 2018]

The story is ok (albeit lots of quantum nonsense) but funny altogether. Had a great time at the theater with my popcorn and soda laughing every now and then. It revolves around the past of the main characters connecting to other Marvel movies such as Civil War and Infinity War.

You can connect with the characters and the action and CGI are great in the big screen. It will not be a movie to remeber for the future but definetely a great summer movie for these days.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Jurassic World: PETA edition

[6/10 · 24 June 2018]

Terrible plot written by PETA ruins the movie. In line with other Hollywood movies of this era that just aim at milking a franchise for easy bucks.

Deadpool 2 (2018)

Deadlong

[6/10 · 17 June 2018]

The ending scene with Wade dying summarizes the whole movie pretty well. It lingers on and on and on with no added value whatsoever.

Jokes were not funny, predictable movie altogether. Just milking on the success of the first one without anything new worth for it.

Ready Player One (2018)

Overrated nostalgia

[7/10 · 3 June 2018]

Don't take me wrong, I enjoyed the movie: great soundtrack, stuffed with pop culture references... but that was mostly all about it... Plot is sligtly bloated and there's no much more 'juice' in it.

Worth to watch just for the nostalgia and even has replay value to spot all references... I will surely listen to the OST more than once though.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

Popcorn fest!

[8/10 · 1 June 2018]

Comedy and action at equal parts. Grab the biggest bucket of popcorn and your favourite soda and enjoy!

Yeah, the plot is meh but as long as you have popcorn in the bucket, why bother...

Best thing after Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

Thor will return in Avengers: Infinity War

[4/10 · 27 May 2018]

A 2-hourish long, slow-paced, not enough action-packed prologue to Avengers: Infinity War. Mildly interesting...

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

Solo: This is not my story (a.k.a. Not a Star Wars Story)

[5/10 · 26 May 2018]

If you come to the theater expecting a Star Wars movie or a movie about Han Solo, turn around. Han Solo is a completely irrelevant character for the plot save 4 scenes that explain a couple references to other movies. And it does it quick and bad.

It also rippes off some aspects of the Star Wars universe so bad you will facepalm and curse at Ron Howard all along to the point Han doesn't even quote some of his most famous quotes correctly. I am a huge Star Wars fan, but the point where the last movies are taking it with not following canons is outrageous and unnecessary.

Having said that, if you take the "Solo" and the "Star Wars" words out of the title, it is a palatable story about opposing crime syndicates, albeit not fully leveraged. There is only one "Omfg" moment in the movie next to the end that I expect at least a novel to deepen into.

I am okay with making the new movies new and fresh, but put a director with a slight knowledge about the Star Wars universe in front of the next projects so as to make the new compatible with the old, at least. Sadly, I believe my last words will be: "I got a bad feeling about this..."
