Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie (2023)
Overall, the movie is not bad...
It was a huge surprise to find out there was a Monk movie. Expectations weren't very high, just wanted to see another story of Monk's investigation. I don't think it should have been in the movie Trudy. It seemed like she was just there to fill more time in the movie. Some of Randy's characteristic behavior in the series should not have been maintained in the film as he is now a mature man. It doesn't look and feel artificial. Adrian Monk performed well. Overall, the movie is not bad, but Monk is not for the movie and it shows. The plot is stretched. The beginning takes a long time to watch before it picks up. The most interesting and fun starts after 1 hour of watching. It feels like someone wrote an episode plot for the series and stretched it out with a jumble of filler dialogue or other unnecessary scenes.
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
John is like some kind of superman
If the first part of the film was very good. The second part is so mediocre. And the third part I watch with gritted teeth. It is the fourth part that you have to spare your time, have patience and feel sorry for yourself that you are still watching. Part four does not have an interesting plot. It has no meaningful dealogues. The dealogues are like 2 weak minded people having a conversation. Just pointless. There are so many shootings and fights in the film that it's just boring to watch. You can't keep your attention on the endless gunfights and fight scenes. There are so many illogical places in the film that you start to get angry at the film. John is like some kind of superman. Maybe this is a Marvel movie? And I thought, on principle, if I watched this film not in the cinema but on home video. And I would get through all the action scenes and just watch the dialogue and the key scenes of the film and I wouldn't lose anything. And the film would last me about half an hour. And I would be completely satisfied with the quality.
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Expectations were high, but...
Expectations were high. The film is visually beautiful. There are a few places where the CGI looks unrealistic or strange. Overall, the film is definitely stretched too far. I wanted to rewind the film more than once. It was hard to sit still. I think a 2 hour running time would be perfect. There are a lot of unnecessary and redundant places. The plot is boring, predictable and has been seen before. There are a lot of similar events where it just seems to be copied from the first part and something slightly changed. I will definitely not try to watch it a second time, and if there is a third part I will definitely not watch it in the cinema.
The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun (2021)
Surprising by the minute!
Very interesting film format. Interesting variation between colour and black and white. Very large cast of well-known actors. What a great surprise with every minute. The acting is simply excellent. Very interesting and distinctive characters.
The visuals are simply outstanding and interesting. The whole atmosphere of the film takes you to a world that is familiar, but at the same time parabolic. The film's music is very fun. It was a real treat to watch the film. Interesting, entertaining and a real entertainment. Clearly not for everyone. It has its own genre. And there are many similar films. One has to understand it.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
The expectations were high, but...
I was looking forward to this series with the greatest anticipation. I am not a LOTR fan. Not having read the books. It's just that the film trilogy is amazing and I've seen the trilogy many times. When I heard that there was going to be a big-budget series I expected a lot from it. After watching the first series I thought it was kind of boring. I thought that maybe the series needed to get going. The more I watched, the more boring it got. It is not interesting at all. Although the series looks visually impeccable. The visual effects are impeccable. But the plot and the characters are uninteresting. The biggest problem with this series is the unconvincing, uninteresting and uncharismatic characters. Perhaps the actors are not able to convey them because this series does not have that character that "pulls" the series. I once thought that if any character died I wouldn't care because none of the characters are interesting. And that is the big problem with this series. The plot is also uninteresting. Basically, I watched this season just for the sake of having seen it, but I will never watch it again. Overall, I am very disappointed with this series. The expectations were high, but...
Ta'igara: An Adventure in the Himalayas (2022)
No acting.
No acting. Difficult to watch when the main character's acting is wooden... Lots of holes in the script. There are some scenes where it's nonsense in general. The antagonist is like a dog's fifth leg. If he wasn't there, you wouldn't miss him. Jumping from one scene to another. Lots of logical gaps. Even the children are saying why the tiger is so grown up or that the tiger looks fake in this scene... The film is presented as a family or children's film, but the children can barely keep their attention... Overall the film is not worth watching. It is a pity that I will not get my money back...
