Snapphanar (2006)
Embarrassing
I wanted so much to like this movie. The trailer was promising. The period in Swedish/Danish history is very interesting and should lend itself to great stories. But it just felt so low-budget. Kinda like the stuff you see on "Hallmark".
The vigilante heroes where portrayed as "The gang that couldn't shoot straight", and the murderous king turned out to be good in the end.
Imagine a a film about the intifada financed by Fox and you get the picture.
Good photo. Good music. Terrible screenplay. Anachronistic feeling. You're almost looking for wrist watches and airplanes.
Sad when the topic is important.
It could have been great. Now it's not.
The Bourne Supremacy (2004)
More cool - less explosions. Great!
I'm the kind of guy who always liked the early parts of Bond movies best. The parts where JB comes in to M's office and does all the talking about cognac and Fabergé eggs, and then travels to a brand new place we've never seen in a Bond movie before. And just when everything is cool, they ruin it with a mega structure being blown up in slow motion (even the metal explode for some reason....).
My point?
Bourne Supremacy is a bit like the first part of a Bond movie. Cool, clever, action and rain in eastern Europe. But nobody running away from an explosion! Can we have more of this - please Mr Hollywood!
